MenuCHAPTER 379 - Jiraiya's Decision 
After trapping the other two members of Pein’s
team, Jiraiya is finally able to face the remaining member
one-on-one. Pein forms another hand seal to attempt to summon
something else, but Jiraiya has already leapt up towards him and
delivers a powerful kick to his chest area, sending him ricocheting off
the wall. At that moment, the
toads’
genjutsu song is complete and they unleash their melody into
Pein’s ears. The effect is instantaneous as Pein
suddenly discovers himself and his two teammates trapped in a
transparent cube of water. Holding them in place are four
giant armored toad warriors who point their palms toward the cube to
keep it suspended in mid-air. Jiraiya  appears
in this
illusionary world and informs Pein that this genjutsu paralyzes the
nerves of the brain so all three of Pein’s bodies cannot move
even an inch. Pein replies that he never thought Jiraiya
could be capable of such a powerful jutsu, to which Jiriaya reminds him
that one can never overestimate an opponent enough - something he had
taught Nagato long ago. Jiraiya then tells
Pein that he has
walked down the wrong path. When Jiraiya heard young Nagato
saythat he was going to protect his friends no matter the pain he has
to endure, he thought Nagato would rise above and conquer
that pain, not use it to bring chaos to the world. Jiraiya
remembers back to the Toad Sage’s prophecy about his destined
pupil and admits that, for a while, he believed Nagato would be the one
to bring peace to the whole world. But now it is too late,
and Jiraiya bids his farewell. In the real world outside
the genjutsu, Jiraiya
plunges three large swords into the chests of Pein and his two
teammates. Jiraiya comments that it is finally over, which
triggers the toads to let out loud hacking noises to clear their
throats. Ma informs Jiraiya that performing their genjutsu
song gives them sore throats and slack jaws, not to mention
wrinkles. Jiraiya apologizes and tells the toads they have
plenty of time to rest now. He begins to say something about
finally coming to a decision, but suddenly a voice from behind reminds
Jiraiya what he had just said about not underestimating the enemy.Jiraiya swings around to face the one who had managed to sneak up on him, but it is too late. In a sudden  explosion, Jiraiya is sent crashing through the
wall to the
outside. Jiraiya manages to land and stay on the
water’s surface but he is bleeding profusely - the last
encounter cost him his left arm. Pa asks what had just
happened and Jiraiya comments that their new enemies have different
faces than the three they had supposedly just killed. Jiraiya
surmises that Pein must have somehow summoned for back-up just before
being caught in the genjutsu.From the other side of the hole in the wall, figures remove the swords from the three “dead” Akatsuki members and a voice informs everyone that “it is time.” In seconds, six people in Akatsuki clothing leap out from the hole to face Jiraiya; amazingly, the three that were just killed by Jiraiya are standing again. Among the six is the original body of Pein  who
was first introduced. He tells
Jiraiya to prepare to face the “Six Paths of
Pain.”
