"Naruto! It's time for me to ask you a few questions." Jiraiya exclaimed.

"What happened to Nagato?!" He questions, seeing Naruto's eyes being purple and having the ripple pattern... the Rinnegan.

"Ah yes, there was such a fellow once wasn't there? But he died a long time ago..." Naruto responds, a solemn expression on his face, dressed in his Akatsuki cloak, with piercings reminiscent of Pain's Deva Path.

"Naruto? What happened?" Jiraiya asks once again, not liking where this is going.

Suddenly Naruto places his palm on the floor and a poof of smoke erupts. Once the smoke clears everyone sees Nagato as a child.

"All I wanna do is protect those two... no matter what kind of pain I may be forced to endure." The Nagato Copy says, while tears stream down his face and his blood red hair covers his eyes.

Then the copy vanished in another poof of smoke, as if that's all the explanation that's needed.

A look of understanding comes over Jiraiya's face. "I understand." Jiraiya responds, a downcast expression on his face. "What happened to you? The old you would never..." Jiraiya questions.

"Nothing happened..." he responds eyeing Hinata while he says this. "Nothing except for the war, and my betrayal. Too many people died in that land, all that Pain forced me to grow up." He explains eyeing the remaining rookie 10 (Naruto left the village, Sasuke is with taka)

"What does that mean?" Jiraiya asks once again, confusion written on his face.

"That even innocent and foolish children will grow up in the face of Pain, until their ideas and beliefs are the same as adults." Naruto explains once again staring down his former sensei and father figure.

"But abandoning one's love for his friends and fellow man... is that really what it means to become an adult?!" Jiraiya asks.

"Oh sensei, you are still merely a man. However I, mired in endless Pain have matured and become much more than a man." Naruto responds a stoic expression on his face.

"What're you saying!?"

"Yes, I've grown from a man...

To a GOD"

"And since I'm a God all my thoughts and ideas are absolute. Poor sensei, you're still only human it's not your fault that you don't understand what I'm saying."

"Have you really become that twisted?!"

"Things that I couldn't see when I was human are clear to me now that I'm a God, and being a God I realized that there are things I can do that mortal men cannot even dream of..."

"Oh yeah! And what exactly are the things you can do now!? Cause last I checked you were still a loser Naruto!" Screamed Kiba.

Naruto narrows his eyes on the young Inuzuka "How absurd... UNIVERSAL PULL!" Suddenly, Kiba is pulled toward Naruto by a seemingly invisible force, resulting in Naruto grabbing Kiba by the throat.

"Kiba Inuzuka, were I not looking to avoid conflicts at the moment I would crush your throat." Says Naruto in a monotone almost bored tone.

Kiba who was turning purple due to the grip Naruto had on his throat just nodded.

"Good. I'm glad we understand each other... Almighty Push." And just like that Kiba is thrown back to his friends.

The foolish Inuzuka decides to push his luck with Naruto though. "You're still just mad that Hinata chose me over you aren't you Naruto." Kiba says with a smug look on his face.

Naruto decides to ignore Kiba's comment.

"Just what are you planning, Naruto?" asked Jiraiya, trying to stay on topic.

"What was our dream, Jiraiya-Sensei? What did we spend countless nights discussing? What did you decide to pass on to me?" inquired Naruto.

Everyone looks to Jiraiya for answers. It seems no one knew how deep Jiraiya's and Naruto's relationship went. However the two viewed each other as father and son respectively

Jiraiya thinks for a moment... suddenly he understands. "No way! Naruto are you doing all this for that!?"

"Yes sensei. At last I'm going to put an end to this war riddled world. I will bring peace to this world, just like we discussed all those months ago..." Naruto says.

"Is this why you are gathering up all the tailed beasts Naruto!!?"

"Yes sensei I will use them to develop forbidden jutsu, capable of destroying entire countries." Naruto explains.

"Naruto... no that's not true peace! Those jutsu will simply increase conflict amongst nations!!" Jiraiya exclaims

"The world is already full of conflict, so what's the quickest way to get nations to stop fighting each other Jiraiya-sensei?" Naruto asks.

"That's what I'm asking you, so answer me!!!"

"To each one of the warring nations I will hand out a forbidden jutsu weapon. For once they possess such a power then they're bound to use it..."

"Wait! What are you saying!!" Jiraiya exclaims in a panicked voice.

"Just think. Tens of millions of people will die instantly, and all mankind will quake in terror. All of humanity, all the nations will learn what Pain truly is. Fear would breed a strong aversion to war, conflicts would cease. It can be said that this world is still in the process of maturing, that its still on the path to stability. Pain will make the world grow up. Just like it forced me to grow up. In order for the world to develop to the point where it can think and walk on its own, it needs the help of a God's hand. This world is still but a child you see." Naruto explains

"You want to teach the world pain in order to make it grow up, is that it?!! Do you really believe that this is your mission?!!" Jiraiya yells.

"I do. I believe in this fully because i am a pacifist God." Naruto says in a matter of fact tone.

"Well I see you kept your sense of humor... Naruto."

"Oh I'm not joking. Far from it. My vision is too important."

"Naruto... don't do this please!" Jiraiya pleads.

"It's too late for that sensei, were I still that foolish child intent on becoming Hokage, I might have listened to you. However I've experienced too much Pain..." says Naruto.

"Naruto! What about you? What will you do about the 9-tails?!" asks Tsunade, speaking for the first time.

"Ahhh Lady Tsunade..." Tsunade flinches with the tone Naruto uses on her, no longer calling her "Grandma"

"I will do whatever it takes to achieve peace Tsunade, even if I have to sacrifice myself..." Naruto explains.

"Naruto... no..." says Tsunade.

"Wait what does the Kyuubi have to do with Naruto? The 4th Hokage killed it!" asks Hinata.

"Ahh so you've yet to tell them the truth have you, sensei, Tsunade?" asks Naruto

"What truth?!" screams Sakura.

"I'll tell you all, it doesn't matter anymore anyway..." says Naruto. "Almost everything you've been told about October 10th has been a lie... the 4th Hokage was not able to kill the Kyuubi as it isn't killable, it's a mass of chakra. So the 4th did the only thing he could do... he sealed the demon..." explains Naruto.

"Naruto don't! They don't need to know!" says Jiraiya.

"It's over sensei, I'm done with the lies. As I was saying, his only option was to seal the demon. However, he needed a newborn baby to do so, as any other child or adult would've died. Coincidentally his child was born on the day, known only by sensei and Lord 3rd. So he did the only thing he could do... he sealed the demon within his child, sacrificing both their lives in the process, the 4th sacrificed his life to the God of death, while he sacrificed his son's to the world, to protect this village from the demon. His final wish was for his child to be viewed as a hero. However his wishes were ignored..."

"Naruto! Stop!"

"I was that child. I am the container of the 9-tailed demon fox. Son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki." says Naruto.

"Liar! There's no way!" exclaims Kiba.

"Fool." Naruto then removes his cloak as well as the chainmill shirt underneath, showing everyone his seal.

"This is the seal that contains my demon" explains Naruto.

"So that's why..." says Hinata "That's why everyone hates you Naruto-kun!" She says, tears streaming down her face.

"Save your tears for someone who cares. Don't any of you feel bad now, it's too late for all that." says Naruto while putting his cloak back on. "My visit here is over..." says Naruto while levitating off the ground.

"Wait Naruto-kun!!" says Hinata "I will pass on one more message for you and the rest of the Hidden Villages however..." Naruto says while slowly going higher into the air.

"Feel PAIN

Contemplate PAIN

Accept PAIN

Know PAIN"

"Wait Naruto! Come back!"

"THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW PAIN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND TRUE PEACE!"

And with that Naruto vanishes in a swirl of air.

"How did it get to this point..." says Jiraiya.
