I wasn't too crazy about this chapter either. Jiraiya's Hermit mode doesn't make any sense. Why the hell did half of his face go black? Why does he suddenly grow sharp teeth and why the hell does he now have frog feet?

Kishi better explain something about pein soon, considering how ubber bad ass he's supposed to be, and the fact that he has the legendary Rinningen eye's I think we're about due for an explanation as to how they work.
