Naruto Shippuuden #133:

In Konoha, Tsunade was commenting on the continuous rain and Shizune tried to reassure her that Jiraiya would return safe and sound. Tsunade betted using her past experience of poor luck that Jiraiya would not return. She thought of the words Jiraiya last spoke to her about her duping him and could not resist a smile. She prepared to give him a beating back to his old self when he returned.

In the Country of Rain, Jiraiya was shocked to see Yahiko having Nagato's Rinnegan eyes as well as five other people. Pain told him that together, the six of them were Pain. Jiraiya had difficulty fending them off and managed to drag one of them within a toad's body. Within the toad's boundary, Jiraiya managed to hit the opponent with rasengan but was accidentially stabbed by his strange rod that disrupted his Chakra flow. At closer distance, he was shocked to see the opponent a past enemy met during his trip in his younger days for ideas to his novel. Despite the two elderly toads' warning, he decided to check the real identity of the other four Pains. Jiraiya called Ma toad to escape as he went into the open. Pa toad promised to return home for dinner with Jiraiya.



Out in the open, Jiraiya was attacked by all the Pains and he was aghast to see all of them (excluding Yahiko) people he had met during his younger days' journey. His throat was crushed and his body stabbed by all Pains. He thought of his past failures of being rejected by Tsunade, failure to save Sandaime and Minato, failure to outshine his life and suddenly recalled Minato commenting Jiraiya's gallant novel and life. He also thought of Naruto who never gave up.

With a sudden surge of energy, he wrote his last words on Pa toad's back. As Pain dashed to crush them, Jiraiya fell into the water and Pa toad managed to escape. In the water, Jiraiya decided to name his last novel - Uzumaki Naruto scroll and finally understood that Naruto was the Child of Destiny.

In the woods, Naruto was leaping from tree to tree when he sensed Jiraiya touching his shoulder but when he turned around, there was no one behind him. In Konoha, Tsunade thought she saw a toad looking at her as she looked out the lake. Out in the sea, a toad was floating towards a direction.
