Pain's goal is to get the 9 nine tailed fox so he wont waste anytime in Konoha. He'll go to Myobukuza, w/e u call it, and confront Naruto there.
i was hopin for a fight against Tsunade but... haysss... it will not happen. thanks to Shizune who juz had to get caught. -_-
1.) Myobukuza is supposed to be impossible to find. Jiraiya was destined to accidently find it, since the old old prediction toad was waiting for him.
You'll get at least some fighting. Tsunade is angrier about Jiraiya's death than at least Dan since I think the two flirted much of their life since the day they met. She wants revenge badly.
Pein will attend to other matters, probably try to get a spy, and wait for Naruto's return.
2.) Right now it's possible that one of Pein's bodies is making Shizune a sleeper spy with his mind techniques, which are similar to Ino's clan. She'd make a great spy given she's the only person besides Kakashi and Tsunade he's talked to that know where Naruto is. Think of Sasori's technique on that Sand village captain.
3.) ANBU don't seem as good as they should be. They can't sense Pein's movement, but shinobi like Kakashi and Yamato were in ANBU, so I'm trying to reconcile that. Tsunade doesn't have team 10, 7, ... protecting her but them. They also dropped the ball protecting the third.
4: Konohamaru, Rasengan, and solid clones:
a.) Konohamaru used two hands (poor chakra control) and it was a small rasengan (lack of immense chakra)
right now. I think that the size matters, which is why Naruto made Rasengan his own when he made the two-handed oodama Rasengan, which was huge. The crater formed by each of these would differ. Jiraiya didn't use ultimate Rasengan just to look cool against Pein.
b.) Many shinobi can make short shadow/water/bug/etc clones or a few of them, this is far different than using loads of them like Naruto does. Recall when Ebisu was talking to Naruto as his tutor before the chuunin finals in the Ramen shop about how many clones Sasuke and Sakura could perform with the same amount of chakra (about 5), while using the same chakra Naruto could barely make 1( i.e. he's wasting chakra making them, but he still made 1,000 twice pre-time-skip). I'm not surprised Konohamaru can make some.
c.) Konohamaru will be fine (I've said he may be Hokage), but he's never going to be Naruto (Naruto is not Minato). Let him grow into his own shoes, he's not ready yet to take on the world yet. They will ultimately have different styles. Unless Konohamaru gets a great teacher, not Ebisu (more like Naruto at some point), then I doubt he'll become Hokage. Everyone that became Hokage or considered had a great teacher. History repeats itself.
1/2->3rd->Sannin->Minato->Kakashi->Naruto (with both Kakashi [if he lives will be Hokage] and Jiraiya[offered 5th Hokage])->Konohamaru(Ebisu+...)? (really the only ninja of his generation we've come to know.)
5.) I don't mind if FRS is both close-combat as well as throwable. I just hope he improves his ability to control chakra to reduce clone usage. When he was practicing that secret jutsu there was only one clone with him, maybe for elemental, and he's got regular Rasengan down.
Footnotes:
* Pein must have immense chakra reserves, and if he is inferior to Madara, damn Madara is gonna be hard as hell to kill.
*I think I heard Sasuke saying he could see the clones with his Sharingan during his fight with Naruto at VoE pre-time-skip. I would expect the Rinnegan to be capable of that since it's the ultimate doujutsu, and if it can, eye-techniques can't underestimate people.
*Konohamaru is Naruto's rival like Kakashi and Guy, not like Sasuke and Naruto.
*If Naruto gets the Sharingan with MS, he would be so powerful with Sage mode, Kyuubi, Rasengan variants, summonings, shadow clones, MS techniques, it would be too much.
*If Sasuke fights 8-tails again I hope he skips to Ameratsu with Madara nearby so he doesn't spend 10 manga fighting pointlessly while the 8-tails does a rope-a-dope.
*I'd get a kick out of Madara yelling at Sasuke like the Emperor does to Vader on Robot Chicken (must watch by the way).
