I would have shot him, without hesitation, right there and then.
200 pages of rape! (consider the different aspects) - And we've all contributed. Pat on the back guys?
Oh hey WHITEBEARD, hows things.

Isn't Phenom lurking about somewhere too?
I seem to remember seeing someone with a self ingratiating username somewhere.
Annointed is one of them.
Using the same avatar as some Psolras alt named Fixius that got banned, and using the same phrase Phenom has in his NF account. And argueing about retarded speculation.
Three for three there.
Shhh. Zephos.
He's watching
It was nice seeing Oro in his prime again. The next few episodes of shippuden should be entertaining. To think that the guy that came to take out Sasori and had fun fighting the four tails went out like a bitch.
That is, until Kabuto and Sasuke spontaneously get cancer and vitiligo and turn into him.

kishimoto spits on science as we know it
yeah, Araki is forgivable (he invented science, is Jesus, etc.), but Kishimoto

Araki has been writing a manga of consistent awesomeness for 90+ volumes.
Kishi has trouble maintaining quality for a single story arc.
So Jirayia in the end was able to tell Naruto the secret of Pein. I wonder how this info will help in the fight down the road.
I kind of liked this chapter. Here is the translation that made this chapter a whole lot better then I thought it was.
p.1
–-382: The Real Choice!!
Text: Jiraiya finally unveils the secret...and is attacked by Pain!
Jiraiya: Yes! I know who Pain really is!
p.2
Jiraiya: I have to...tell them who Pain is...
Toad: garbled, I believe Jiraiya can't hear him clearly
p.3
Jiraiya: Damn!
Jiraiya: At this rate...Jiraiya: No...
Jiraiya: It's all going fuzzy...Jiraiya: Am I...
Jiraiya: to die here?Jiraiya: To fail?
p.4
Jiraiya: Being a shinobi is not abut how you live, but how you die...
Jiraiya: A shinobi's life is evaluated not by how they lived, but by what they accomplished before they died...
Jiraiya: ...when I think about it, my life has been nothing but failures.
p.5
Jiraiya: Constantly rejected by Tsunade...
Jiraiya: Unable to stop my friend...
Jiraiya: Unable to protect my master and student...
Jiraiya: When I look at everything the Hokages have done...
Jiraiya: my life seems like a waste...p.6
Jiraiya: I wanted to die like the Hokages did.
Jiraiya: Our stories are decided by the bonds we hold at the very end.
Jiraiya: Nothing wrong with failing! I carried on with the belief that all of these ordeals just made me stronger.
Jiraiya: And instead...Jiraiya: I would even out all of these failures with some great accomplishments.
Jiraiya: Then die as a fine ninja!Jiraiya: ...That's what I'd planned...
Jiraiya: But...those bonds...this is how I die...?p.7
Jiraiya: The Great Toad told me his prediction of "one wh would change the world".
Jiraiya: And the one who would be responsible for whether it brought peace or destruction.Jiraiya: And it seems that I failed yet again...
Jiraiya: I couldn't defeat Pain, or stop Akatsuki...Jiraiya: I'm pathetic...
Jiraiya: The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya? Hah...Jiraiya: What a worthless story...
Minato: No, not at all!
p.8
Minato: I think it's a great story.
Minato: It's all based on your own adventures,
Minato: so it's kind of an autobiography.Jiraiya: Well, yeah...
Jiraiya: But it didn't sell at all.
Jiraiya: I think next time I'll go back to the winning formula of erotic novels.Minato: What I really liked about the hero of this is that he never gave up, not ever...
Minato: He's just like you, isn't he?p.9
Jiraiya: Haha...you think?
Minato: And...I've been thinking.
Jiraiya: Hm?Minato: I'd love if my own child...
Minato: could be a shinobi just like this character.Minato: So, do you mind
Minato: if I pilfer the hero's name?Jiraiya: Hey, are you sure about that?
Jiraiya: I actually thought of it while I was eating ramen...p.10
Kushina: Naruto.
Kushina: It's a great name.Jiraiya: Kushina...
p.11
Jiraiya: Haha...
Jiraiya: So that'd make me his godfather?
Jiraiya: Are you sure you want that?Minato: I couldn't think of a better person.
Minato: You're such a great ninja with amazing ability...
Minato: There's no other shinobi like you.Jiraiya: Ah...
Jiraiya: Yes...
Jiraiya: I named him...p.12
Naruto: I WILL be the Hokage!!
Naruto: And I'll be better than all the ones before me!
Naruto: I'll never go back on my word...
Naruto: That's my way of life.p.13
Jiraiya: You know, Naruto, you're just like that hero.
Jiraiya: You lived right up to Minato and Kushina's hopes and dreams...
Jiraiya: But as for me...
Minato: I couldn't think of a better person.
Minato: You're such a great ninja with amazing ability... There's no other shinobi like you.p.14
Orochimaru: The true measure of a shinobi is whether he can master all of the jutsu in the world.
Orochimaru: It's just like the word says.
Orochimaru: A ninja is one who uses ninjutsu.Jiraiya: That's not what decides a great ninja...
Jiraiya: You still don't understand?Jiraiya: A ninja is one who endures through anything and everything.
Orochimaru: Well, we all have our opinions.
Jiraiya: I'll tell you something...
Jiraiya: The true measure of a ninja
Jiraiya: isn't how many jutsu he has...p.15
Jiraiya: What matters is...
Jiraiya: an indomitable spirit.
Jiraiya: I will never go back on my word. And I will never give up...
Jiraiya: If that's your way of life...Jiraiya: Naruto, I'm your master.
Jiraiya: So, I'm not going to just whine and complain.Jiraiya: Because...
p.16
Jiraiya: Ggggg....!!
M Toad: Jiraiya-chan?!
Jiraiya: The pupil's way of life should be the master's too!
Jiraiya: Isn't that right...Naruto...M Toad: He willed himself back to life?!
Pain: Your heart stopped, did it not?
Jiraiya: Right!
p.17
M Toad: Guh...
M Toad: Yes! I understand everything!
Jiraiya: I won't give up... That was the choice I had to make!
Jiraiya: You were the one in the prophecy, Naruto, it was you.
Jiraiya: So I leave everything up to you!Text: A bloody curtain is drawn on this hero's tale. With his last words, "I won't give up", he makes his choice and passes his hopes and dreams to his final student, Naruto!!
Preview: Jiraiya dies...and what will Konoha do with this information?
Next, "Spread of Darkness"!!
Wow, that was definitely better than I thought it would be. It was much less pathetic than I feared.
Yeah, that was a pretty damn good death speech. It was different then ones I seen before, at least the beginning.
And he willed himself to life again? That was kind of cool.
Too bad the fight sucked, but that was a good ending sequence.
That doesn't sound too bad.
Nice death speech indeed. Almost hard to believe that this version of Kishi wrote it.
Um, wrong thread. Ignore this.
Oh hey WHITEBEARD, hows things.
Seriously man, do you have some kind of obsession with me? LOL.
Or is it revenge for earlier?
I still think the chapter will be disapointing.
Wow that's actually pretty awesome. It sort of reminded me of TTGL, what with the indomitable spirit and willing himself back to life and whatnot.
Still though, what exactly is the secret of Pain?
'Willing yourself back to life' is really lame.
Other than that, nice chapter.
Bah… I have mixed feelings about this.
Yeah the speech is ok, but it doesn't really make up for the fact he got killed by the biggest piece of shit in the manga.
But if this death can make Naruto to stop acting like a fag, I'm all for it. Yeah I know, you'd think that I would have stopped hoping for something good to come from this manga a long time ago. I'll never learn.
Thank you for reminding me Aldrich.
There is a tiny chance that Naruto will man up now and do something useful/cool/manly/not lame. A tiny, tiny, tiny chance, but a chance nonetheless.
willing yourself back to life is awesome
That definitely was a much better chapter than I expected. Though like Aldrich said, it doesn't change that he actually went out in a shitty way.
I think that's the closest thing to a naruto complement that we'll ever hear come out of Aldrich's mouth… Shame mangafan isn't here to listen.
Actually for a long time I was part of the Naruto defense force.
Then Team Snake showed up and I just said fuck it.

Yeah, only bad thing is that we know Naruto's eventually gonna have either a tear filled reunion with his teacher when he faces Pein, or he's gonna have a Simon moment and get a personality swing and kick some shit in.
I found it funny how nobody bought Jiraiya's Naruto book.
Actually for a long time I was part of the Naruto defense force.
I remember…
So were Tony-kun and Geg...
Twas a more innocent time.
And I seriously think it was Team Snake that ended it.
@Geg:

I hadn't even thought about it until I read your post. Haha.

Hahaha yeah Where is the guy now you talk about him.
Did he get bullied away from here? He didn't seem to be a quitter.
he thought we was a better playa
lost the game
And I seriously think it was Team Snake that ended it.
I thought it was the time Naruto ran in to save kakashi with the big rasengan and it didn't work and everybody was like lol naruto
That was the precursor to the Team Snake holocaust
I think the Kakuzu fight led it to the brink and Team Snake gave it that final push.
310 was strike one, 340 was strike two, and Team Snake's reveal just managed to be lucky enough to be strike three. So like it's been said, that's when everyone just stopped caring.
I'm still holding out a little bit, and I had hoped Pain vs Jiraiya would have fixed some of what was wrong. After catching back up I was let down again. If this spoiler is true, then the only decent thing that came out of this volume-filling fight was Jiraiya's speech before he croaks.
Oh, that's right, Sai's "character development."
The series really did start its final downward spiral from that point. Now the plane has crashed and the half-dead pilot has climbed out of the wreckage to dig.
! Another great Naruto character dies ;-;
I'm depressed now, and I don't even like this series. I hope Kishimoto puts in another funeral. It just wont be the same without Jiraiya and his personality:sad:
Fuck Jiraiya.
16 fucking sessions.
I find it hilarious how they make a very blatant reference to Jiraiya's name inspiration and twist it to be Naruto's name inspiration.
@Cyringohn:
Fuck Jiraiya.
16 fucking sessions.
And this is why we can never be friends. An enemy of manliness such as yourself cannot be allowed to live.
@Cyringohn:
Fuck Jiraiya.
16 fucking sessions.
nope
16 characters
Jiraiya has pretty much never done anything "manly," so.
Depends on your definition of manly I guess
He pushed Naruto off a cliff.
This is why I respect the man.
Good night sweet sage.
Not saying I hate Jiraya, dont get me wrong, he was always one of my favorites, but as Gohn said, sucks he died in the hands of some guy named Pain with his 6 stoic "Shinobi of the past" look a like mute clones.
@Daisuke:

Hey, hey, Sock Pein was NOT stoic
Sock Pain needs to be the "main" body rather than Yahiko. It would have been awesome if he were the first one introduced along with Konan 20 chapters ago.
@Cyringohn:
Not dying to somebody named Pain.
I also don't get why Jiraiya is "manly".
That's probably the last adjective I'd use talking about anything in Naruto.
Jiraiya would be more interesting if he wasn't the 80th perverted male in Naruto.

Even Guy or Rock Lee?
