So I'll start things on topic.
Just read 372 so it seems Pein and Konan were students of Jiraiya at one point. Yahiko looks like Pein, and Nagato has Pein's eyes. I can honestly say I don't know where Kishi is going with this. I'm guessing they are both somehow Pein, but who knows? Anyways, another good info filled chapter. Don't blow it Kishi.
Any other thoughts?

Well, we already know that Pein can switch/control other bodies. So I'm assuming that Nagato is the real Pein, controlling Yahiko & a few other choice bodies.
Kishi could be trying to lead us into thinking this & throw us for a loop, but somehow I don't think he could pull it off… he's not the best storyteller.
You killed my child.
You MONSTERS.
….I'm probably stating the obvious, but now it seems that Pein may now have some personal vendetta for starting wars with other countries with the tailed beasts rather than a pure vendetta for power. It does make me wonder what he's thinking when he talks about his plans....
hey konan's technique looks pretty cool. on the same time, i see an akatsuki leader who is NOT naruto's bro but some random emo kid with hidden powers. sheesh, did kishi watch heroes or what?
Nothing much to say except Kishi managed to completely destroy my interest in Pein in the span of one chapter. Pretty impressive feat.
Can we call him Pain instead of Pein?
Ok, it seems Pain is the black haired boy and maybe Yahiko is his previous body. Someone said Pain can be and incorporeal identity without body. According with fodder's information, he's from the Fuuma Clan, and he has his own bloodline.
Conclusion: Pain is a monster
EDIT: Damn! I forgot Yahiko's alive according with Jiraya.
Well, at least it wasn't the fat kid. Good to know that this wasn't another case of ninja deserting Konoha again.
My new thoughts of Pein (until Kishi says otherwise): FUUUUUU…SION HA!
I know he's retreading on plotlines with the "Pein duo", but I still want to see how it comes out. But hey, Konan as a girl is cute. (and the wings technique was interesting)
this week's ep was full of ugly faces. sakura has a particularly horrible one when she arrives next to kakashi for the first time.
and naruto the anime has officially become dragon ball z again. too long dammit~ i'm so annoyed watching it.
The only major disappointment with this chapter was how rushed it felt.
Usually Kishi can't squeeze a decent amount of content in his chapters, but this time, the flashback didn't have any emotional impact on me because it seems like Kishi just wants to get it over with. I guess showing some moments where the students and Jaraiya actually bonded would've helped, but I'll reserve complete judgment when the flashback is over.

Kyuubified Naruto looked kind of awkward.
When I saw Yahiko with Pein's eyes, I instantly though of Pein pulling another Obito with Yahiko…
what…. what is this?

Naruto bro :(

Only because he's not Naruto bro
Well, this means I should change my sign.
@Cap'n:

Naruto bro :(
Yea.
Imo, him being naruto's brother would have been really retarded.
Not everyone needs to be related Aldrich. I mean isn't that the reason for the uchiha bullshit?
but yea, I pretty much agree with WeAllEatFood. Rushed flashback devoid of emotional impact. but then again I don't really think it was supposed to have any.
Aww, I sort of like it the Sannin (sennin, i dunno) fight as a ~~team~~
Or at least Orochimaru before he became such a creeper.
Eh, at least he wasn't the fat kid.
This chapter just got me even more interested. Forget Naruto and Sasuke and Itachi, give me more of this.
Naruto anime this week was alright. Only truly terrible scene was the Kyuubi scene because they couldn't draw his mouth and teeth right.
JESUS CHRIST that fish is huge.
Konan's paper powers are cool,Wheres Minato(4th) and the bald kid?
This is a group of kids from the Rain Village, so it's a different team from from the one that the 4th Hokage was in.
After seeing the script, I have to agree with Aldrich
seeing that PAIN is really just some crybaby fag who wants to PROTECT EVERYTHING kind of undercuts his character

Who wants to protect everything?? Which script you read? The one who wants to protect everything is Yahiko, Pain is the black haired boy with those eyes that shocked Jiraya: Nagato. He has no feelings, and he killed that shinobi.

Yeah, that's why he cried.

I can't keep up with these kids and their lingo
Oh, yeah, he cried… before his true nature was revealed. After this, he killed that shinobi without contemplations. Look at Jiraya and his reaction.
Aldrich is angry because he's not Naruto bro
This whole thing just reminds me of Sasuke. They killed my family, I must take revenge…revenge...revenge. Kill all the big countries.

What do you mean by "true nature"? there's nothing that implies that in any way since the last panel says "The birth of Pain"
Anyway, my mistake. But he was still some crying little tortured kid with a bad haircut so not much better at all
At least he's not from the Leaf, they already have too many traitors as it is apparently.
wah our village is always crying
I was hoping Pein would be the fat kid from the 4th's team, if only to make the Charlie Brown comparison.
@Kidany:

Agh, get lost, damn you.
I'm kinda hoping next week we see a fight, between who, I don't care.
BTW Congrats on the promotion Battle Franky. You deserved it.
there is still chance that in the other 4 bodies of pein there are obito, naruto's brother, the 7 swordsmen of the mist, jimbei and the fat kid who's the teammate of the 4th

Well, we don't know yet. Nagato could have always shaved his head.
Besides, was it ever specifically said that Minato was from Konoha? Yahiko actually looks similar to a young Minato (Actually, he looks more like Juugo; a WHOLE lot like Juugo).
That's an interesting thought… what if Yahiko is Juugo?

Its Itachi all over again.
Also cool, already erasing harmless posts. Thread be going places.
So I'm guessing this is the part where Yahiko pulls a Kakashi and takes Nagato's eyes after Nagato dies.

What?
…...What?
If anything, the kid Pain kills nagato and takes his body.
as all of pain's bodies seem to have the same eyes.
It would make no sense to have Pain be the light haired kid with the bad hair cut's eyes. I don't see how you could come to that conclusion.
and I still like this better than Pain being naruto's brother or some shit.
This is already starting to detoriate.
I mean come on, Konan getting defeated from an offhand water attack was just hilariously stupid.
Lol, Pain is emo and goth.
I wonder about some of Pain's bodies now. The first one (NARUTO BROTHER LOLOLOL) reminds me a bit of that kid who told Nagato to shut up.
EDIT: And yeah, I guess it's now obvious that Konan is not that dark-haired girl next to Li'l Minato.
I did kind of like how Kishimoto invented a new set of apprentices to shut up the people looking at that 50 year old panel, though
Too bad he made the Tobi is Obito fags get louder by giving Tobi sharingan.
@Cap'n:

Still, the whole "former apprentice turns against his/her master" thing is getting tiresome (Current tally: Orochi, Sasuke, Sasori, Konan, Pain). I guess Kishi's never seen that one movie… what was it called... oh yeah, STAR WARS.
Were they even really his apprentices?
They were just some kids he took care of for like a week.
No, I don't think so. He taught them ninjutsu, and Konan looks a little older in the second part of the flashback.
did people stop makeing the hand seals at some point or are they still doing those just between frames?
its a lion: i think thats where he stole it from =P (j/k)
Judging from sasuke's explanation, they are secretly doing them. (Deidara was hiding earth seals or some shit.)
Makes about as much sense as everything else in naruto
