🧭 Beginning of the Conflict Jiraiya invades the Rain Village, unaware that he will face six bodies controlled by Nagato (Pain). Initially, only three bodies—Animal, Preta, and Human—appear, using the Rinnegan with shared vision. 💥 Phase 1: Sage Mode Jiraiya activates Sage Mode, summons the toads Fukasaku and Shima, and uses techniques such as the Goemon and the gigantic Chō Ōdama Rasengan. The Preta Path absorbs the attacks, neutralizing their power, prompting Jiraiya to retreat and reevaluate. 🎶 Toad Genjutsu With the help of the toads, he casts a sound genjutsu, simultaneously incapacitating the three Paths and eliminating them—believing he has won the battle. ⚔️ The Fatal Twist The Asura Path attacks Jiraiya from behind, severing his left arm even while Sage Mode is activated. The three defeated Paths resurface via the Naraka Path, revealing the Six Paths of Pain. Jiraiya recognizes the Deva Path as his former student Yahiko, realizing that the true enemy is Nagato. Severely injured, he is unable to use ninjutsu. ✍️ The Final Sacrifice In his final moments, Jiraiya engraves a cryptic message on Fukasaku's back with crucial information about the six Paths, to alert Konoha and help Naruto. He dies after being struck by the Paths' chakra rods. 🧠 Lessons and Meaning Jiraiya fought with intelligence and strategy, eliminating three Paths even without knowing their enemy's full power. Many fans consider his performance masterful, especially considering he was unaware of the existence of the six bodies. While some say he would have won if he had known about the six Paths, it would still have been an extremely difficult battle. 📌 Final Summary Stage What happened Beginning Surprise at finding only three bodies Sage Mode activated Attacks with support from the toads Successful genjutsu Defeats three of Pain's Paths Deadly turn Attack from behind and loss of arm Final Legacy Vital message that changes Naruto's fate ✅ Conclusion #JiraiyaVsPain #NarutoShippuden #Naruto #SageMode #Rinnegan #SixPaths #Akatsuki #EpicBattle #Anime Jiraiya demonstrated great power, cunning, and sacrifice.
