Chapter 501: Feel the Pain!!!
Parallel World 5, Year 67 of Konoha, Konoha Village.
At this point in time...
Sasuke had just defeated the Hachibi Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, and captured half of the Bijuu's, but Team Taka was also severely injured and recovering.
Jiraiya accepted a mission to infiltrate Amegakure to gather information but was ultimately killed by Pain Rikudo, his soul returning to the sea.
Knowing this, Naruto was devastated, but he quickly picked himself up and went to Mount Myoboku to begin his 'Sage Mode training'.
Meanwhile, Konoha Village.
Under the leadership of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, they were actively gathering information about Akatsuki and trying to decipher the secret code left behind by Jiraiya. Hoping to gain a slight advantage when fighting Akatsuki and Pain in the future.
Unfortunately, while Konoha was still preparing, Akatsuki arrived first.
The leader of Akatsuki, Nagato, along with Konan and Pain Rikudo, directly attacked Konoha Village to capture Naruto, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.
Now, the other eight Bijuu had already been collected, with only the Kyuubi remaining. Moreover, Jiraiya's infiltration made Nagato feel extremely threatened, not wanting to delay any longer.
That's why he appeared himself, planning to end everything in one battle!
