   A few days later, Electra was still in Tsunade's office, changed into her old ninja uniform that Kakashi had brought her, and was sitting on her bed rubbing her face as toads littered the room and they waited for Naruto and Kakashi to show up. Hiro was playing with a stuffed wolf Itachi got for him, babbling on the bed behind her. Naruto walked in confused as everyone turned to look at him.

"So this is Jiraiya boys student, is it?" One of the small older frogs asked.

"Yes. This is Naruto Uzumaki. The child of prophecy you spoke of." Tsunade responded monotone.

"What's with the geezer frog? Who's he?" Naruto said with disgust.

"Pipe down. Watch your mouth Naruto. He's one of the two great sages of mt. Myoboku, Lord Fukasaku. He traveled all the way here just so he could speak with you." Tsunade scolded.

"Well to be more accurate, I'm a Great Sage Toad, but nevermind that. It doesn't matter. Answer me this, are you really Jiraiya boys student, or aren't you?" The toad asked.

"Jiraiya boy? A boy?! Don't treat the Pervy Sage like a kid!" Naruto said upset. "Who does this geezer frog think he is anyway?"

"I told you already, watch your mouth!" Tsunade scolded.

"Naruto, he's the one who taught the Sage Jutsu to Lord Jiraiya." Shizune informed him. "He's Jiraiya's master."

"Huh?" Naruto asked with wide eyes. The toad busted out laughing.

"So you call him the Pervy Sage? I've never heard a name more fitting for Jiraiya boy." The toad said amused.

"What does this geezer Sage want? What did he come so far to talk to me about?" Naruto asked impatiently.

"I'm not exactly sure where to begin this...but let me see. I suppose the most important thing is I'm afraid Jiraiya boy has died in battle." The toad explained. Naruto couldn't believe his ears. "I know that this is very sudden, so I understand if you don't believe me. For some time now, some rumors have been circulating that the leader of the Akatsuki was operating out of the village Hidden in the Rain. So, Jiraiya boy went there in person to verify whether these rumors were true." He explained.

"The leader of the Akatsuki was in the Hidden Rain village?" Sakura asked shocked.

"As I recall, that village is difficult to infiltrate. It's entirely closed off from the outside world." Sai said with his fingers holding his chin.

"Yes. But Master Jiraiya was exceptionally skilled in infiltration and espionage tactics." Kakashi told them.

"Yes, exactly. Jiraiya boy encountered Pein, the leader of the Akatsuki. However— Pein was a former student of Jiraiya boys from many, many years ago." The toad told them.

"He was a student? What do you mean by that?" Sakura asked confused.

"I don't know the particulars, but Jiraiya boy called him Nagato." The toad said, Electra's blood ran cold. Her leader had killed someone she cared about and now it was resurfacing.

"But to defeat a shinobi as powerful as Jiraiya— how did this Pein accomplish such a feat?" Kakashi asked curiously.

"Pein possesses the Rinnegan." Electra said, sharing a look with Tsunade.

"What did you say?" Kakashi asked sounding afraid as his eye went wide.

"Rinnegan?" Sakura asked noticing everyone's fearful expressions.

"It's an ocular jutsu said to have been possessed by the father of all shinobi, the Sage of the Six Paths. But I believed that it was nothing more than a legend." Shizune said lost in a daze.
