With the release of the Naruto Manga chapter 371, it was revealed that Pain and Kunan who are both Akatsukis knew much about Jiraiya. They even called him as Jiraiya-Sensie.

And because of this I am thinking several things:
- Pain might be a former Konoha shinobi.
- Pain might be one of the former students of Jiraiya.
- Pain can’t be Madara because Madara is much older than Jiraiya.
- Pain might be one of the Fuuma shinobi that Jiraiya meet and eventually became his students.
We are not of course sure about it. Let us wait for the release of the Naruto Managa chapter 372 for more details about this.

When Naruto and Sasuke fight each other in the valley of the end, it was mentioned that the Valley of the End was called by that name because of the best friends who fight with each other before the Konoha Village was founded. It was again mentioned that these best friends were the First Hokage and his best friend.
I thought the opponent of the First Hokage here is the Second Hokage. However, it was again revealed that the Second Hokage was the younger brother of the First Hokage.
Well, thanks to the Naruto Manga chapter 370, for the fact about it was already cleared. According to the chapter 370 through the story of Jiraiya, the two bestfriends who are fighting with each other were the First Hokage who was the founder of the Konoha and Uchiha Madara who was the founder of the Uchiha clan.

The Naruto Shippuuden episode 28 made me realized that my thoughts on how to defeat the clones that the team Gai deals are wrong.
Yes! I was telling you before that in order to defeat the clones, Sakura or Naruto should defeat Sasori and Deidara first because Sasori and Deidara are the ones who set that traps to those who will remove the seals.
It’s Lee actually who figured out how to defeat them. The jutsu simply copied the personality of those who will remove the seals. So, to defeat them, the copied shinobi must become stronger than what they are during the removal of the seals.

Since 2003, I was already wondering how come Orochimaru, Tsunade and Jiraiya became the Konoha’s Sannin. I was thinking of different reasons for this:
- The three passed a Sannin examination organized by the Third Hokage.
- The three possessed qualities that are stronger than the qualities of the Special Juunin like Kakashi and Gai, but are weaker compared to that of the Hokage.
- The three are well-known for their abilities.
I thought, the question about being Sannin of the three will not be answered by the Naruto story. And I am thankful because the Naruto Manga episode 369 which was released last week contains information about it.
So, how did they become Sannin?

According to the memory of Jiraiya, it was Salamander Hanzou, the Amagakure’s leader, who first called them Sannin during the battle of Konoha against Amagakure.

You might be wondering what the reasons of the existence of the Akatsuki are. We witnessed how Akatsuki roam around the world just to find those Jinchuuriki. They don’t attack any countries or villages but they tried to snatch every Jinchuuriki they found, whether the leader of a hidden village or just alone in the Naruto World.
However, the goal of the existence is not quite clear especially to those who didn’t read the manga version of the story of Naruto. In doing so, I want to tell you this:

The main goal of the Akatsuki organization is to rule the world with their own power so that all countries will rely to them. After all, what they want to have are the two things: Money and Power.

I know that you are confused whether who the real leader of the Akatsuki is after a 1-eyed Sharingan user appeared in the Naruto Manga that gives instruction to Pein or Pain.
I reviewed the Naruto Manga chapter 364 to the latest one and I realized that the real leader of the Akatsuki is Pein or Pain.

The Akatsuki member, who looked like Tobi that gave instruction of what to do to Pein, was actually just a messenger sent to tell Pein to hurry. And the one who sent that messenger must be a leader of another group of which the Akatsuki is connected.

Did you know that during the early times of Jiraiya-Sama and Tsunade- Sama, Jiraiya-Sama became the avid suitor Tsunade? Well, that’s really true. However, when Jiraiya attempted to kiss Tsunade on the lips, Tsunade eventually hit Jiraiya. Jiraiya, then, was thrown 100 meters away.
But, did you know that Naruto and Sakura’s record beats up the record of the Konoha’s legendary Sannin lovers?
Well. Well. Soon as Naruto wanted to transform himself into a nude and sexy lady like this:

Sakura, then, hit Naruto. Naruto was thrown 387meters away. Wow! That’s great.
