I'm thinking after naruto leaves, Danzou/roots ANBU squad will assassinate Nagato and claim the victory for himself. That way he will get a more stronger support for his bid as a Hokage.

Half the village already knows that the one fighting Pain is NarutoOriginally Posted by Rikudo
got that one for ya... lets hope. Pain should be like their 2012... if a ton full of villagers survive ill be pissed.Originally Posted by Archangel
I like your way of Thinking Rikudo, that would make things very interesting indeed. I was always wondering what happened to Danzou since the village was destroyed. No doubt he's been keeping tabs on Naruto as well. Either that or Madara will pull off the finishing blow now that his 'tool' is used up.
I also wonder what happened to Danzou in the flashback. Once I saw him there, I had a thought that maybe the reason he lost his eye and became essentially a cripple was because of Nagato.
I honestly don't know what to feel about this chapter. It was great seeing Naruto confront Pain with his answer, at the same time, i'm somewhat disappointed that Pain, the awesome villain who singlehandedly took down a village, has a Sasuke-clone backstory. True, Nagato has a f***ed up past, but how many times have we seen the 'avenge parents/friend' angle. Not saying its bad, just so very common.
I thought his angle was "peace." When everyone understands the pain of war, fully, they won't go to war anymore. He wasn't really on a revenge mission on Konoha, he was on a 9-tails mission. I think he was just trying to make a point with Naruto about the whole revenge thing.True, Nagato has a f***ed up past, but how many times have we seen the 'avenge parents/friend' angle.

There can't be any peace treaty between Konoha and the Rain. That would be absurd and also wouldn't even make any sense towards the goals that need to be achieved. If they have a peace treaty and the Rain village rises up, some small country somewhere will have to pay for that rise. In the end it'll be the same thing, and that's the main thing that Pain wants to stop.
Naruto will revolutionize the ninja world, meaning he will bring some drastic changes. We already know this is in essence going to be the final answer to Pain's question, when we reach that point. We've already seen that Naruto even has a tendency even before the time-jump to think that way. In his fight with Neji when he told him he'd change the Hyuuga clan when he became Hokage. It'll be interesting (or disappointing) to see what he does. Even if it's "shounen heart" and you don't like it, it'll probably make sense.
Any more absurd than an alliance between the Leaf and the Sand?Originally Posted by FireEmblem
The person behind the Sands attack on Konoha didn't exactly have this deep master plan to rid the world of evil with MORE evil so it's a lot different. Also this is ONE ninja from the Rain attacking the leaf, compared to a well planned out military attack by the Sand on Konoha. In a sense this is an act of terrorism, while that was a war. Funny though that one ninja did more damage than an entire village haha.Originally Posted by Sidnne
On that note, I wonder if Pain would understand, if someone explained to him that him doing this is making things worse for other orphans, Rain village or not.
When I say it would be absurd, I mean it really would be absurd from a writing/story point of view. Here we have two people with similar goals, but their methodologies that are like night and day. And the underlying problem (people get fucked up) wouldn't be any better if Kishi decided to have a peace treaty with the Rain and Konoha. It shouldn't even matter anyway, the Rain village really has nothing to do with this. If it wasn't for Pain, nobody would care about orphans in the rain.
