Yeah, I'll second that notion, that way, you don't have to spend the rest of your life looking behind your back. If I ever become a killer, EDITED FOR SAFETY, AFTER POSTED THIS I REALIZED THE WORLD IS DUMB, REMOVED BY AUTHOR. That way I'll be safe. (waits to get neg reps and 100 people to point out the illogical aspects of the sarcastict post)

Back to the point, it seems the leaf ninja were taken out by Pain at that time because we see the Rinnigen pop out, so they were probaly caught off guard but had a chance to kill him nonetheless. (as he's killing them). What's funny is, now that Pain is in Konoha and he's smashed it to piecies, he should turn to someone and be like, sorry kids, didn't know any civilians were still here...
