MenuCHAPTER 426 - Naruto and Konoha 
Hell Realm Pein
has cornered two Konoha ninja. He raises them off the ground
by their throats and demands to know the location of Naruto
Uzumaki. He tells them that they will lose their lives unless
they talk. A large demon’s head surrounded by a circle of
black flames rises out of the ground behind him. He asks one
last time for Naruto’s location, but both ninja still
adamantly deny that they know where he is. Pein tells them
that he will pass judgment on whether they are telling the truth or not. Suddenly both ninja feel something swell up from their throats and emerge as slithery rods from their mouths. The demon opens its mouth producing two hand-like protrusions which grab hold of the rods. The demon is able to hold on to one of the rods but lets go of the other one from the second ninja. He consumes the rod still in his grasp, at which point the ninja it belonged to goes motionless and dies. Pein comments to the surviving ninja that it appears he was telling the truth. 
Watching the whole scene unfold nearby is
Konohamaru. He is confused by what has happened because he
could not see the demon nor what had actually occurred to the Leaf
ninja. Konohamaru decides it is too dangerous to stick around and turns
around to run away but
hits his face right into the wall behind
him. Konohamaru fears he may have been discovered, but Ebisu
arrives in front of Pein to confront him. Ebisu was aware
that Konohamaru was hiding nearby and only revealed himself so that his
pupil can get a chance to run away while he distracts Pein.Back at the interrogation center, Animal Realm Pein’s summoned beasts have wrecked havoc to a 
large portion
of the building already. Shizune asks Inoichi and Ino to go
with her to the cipher department so they can piece together what they
know about Pein thus far. As they run away followed by some
ANBU bodyguards, Ibiki and the rest of the ANBU block Animal Pein from
pursuing. But carefully watching Shizune’s party
escaping is Human Realm Pein. At toad mountain, Naruto is stubbornly trying to continue his Sage mode training by attempting to gather nature’s energy while in motion. He sees this 
as
the only option since the Kyuubi inside him refuses to allow Fukasaku
to fuse with him. Fukasaku tells Naruto to stop because what
he is trying to achieve is physically impossible to
accomplish. Naruto sees Jiraiya’s code still
scribed into Fukasaku’s back and says that he sees it as a
personal message from Jiraya to him telling him never to give
up. He is Jiraiya’s apprentice, and if
that message
is his master’s “way of the ninja”, then
Naruto can’t afford to allow himself to simply give
up. Fukasaku recognizes that although Naruto is stubborn, his
pure tenacity to
never give up is a key quality needed to become a
great Sage. Konohamaru is torn as to what to do. He is still near where Hell Realm Pein is, and watches helplessly as Ebisu is trapped in the same situation that the previous two Leaf ninja were in. Pein asks Ebisu to tell him where Naruto is 
or else he
will kill him. Ebisu remembers back to when he first heard
the name Naruto. Back then many of his fellow ninja protested
when the Third Hokage allowed Naruto to become a ninja. They
doubted Naruto’s role when Team Kakashi successfully returned
from their first real mission after defeating Zabuza Momochi.
It wasn’t until the Chunin Exam finals when Naruto single
handily defeated Neji Hyuuga that everyone truly began to
see Naruto in
a different light. As Naruto proved himself time and time
again, such as defeating Gaara during the Invasion of Konoha and
helping to convince Tsunade to become the Fifith Hokage, the villagers
began to see Naruto as a rising star of the village and a hero to look
up. Even when news of Jiraiya’s death reached
Konoha, Naruto proved again that he has the will to keep going forward,
carrying on Jiraiya’s will.
