In this chapter, I introduce Pain's other bodies, I know they're hard to keep track of. If you look up, "what are the names of the paths of Pain?" on Google, you'll be able to find a handy answer on Quora. Just bare with me here, they become easier to distinguish, the more you read.

Thanks for your time!

"So, you say you had no involvement in the destruction of either Hot Topic?" said a local police officer.

"No way, I totally tolerate Hot Topic," said Pain.

"Mhm, and what was your name again? Mr..."

"Pain, and don't call me mister, it makes me sound old."

"Right." The police man sketched a few things in his notepad. "Come with me, would you sir?"

Pain let out a groan. "Like, okay, I totally didn't have anything else to do."

They stopped off at the charred building. "Alright, so, here's the first exhibit we're going to be taking a look at."

"So what, it's a burnt down Hot Topic, isn't that normal?"

"Not by a long shot buddy. Now, I need an opinion from you." He pulled out a phone. "This video was taken by a passerby at the scene of the crime."

"Yeah, and?"

"Well, as you can see here. All of the arsonists caught on camera, are wearing the same piercings and have the same hair as you."

"Like, no way, they totally don't. Those piercings are all in different places, that's not the same at all. And look at that one, that's a girl. Do I look like I have boobs?"

"While that may be true, the similarities do make one think of illicit gang activities."

"Whatever, those posers are just jacking my style."

The police man paused the video. "Here's you walking out of the Hot Topic."

"It's all blurry, that could be anyone. It could even be that poser Orochimaru."

"Hm, and this Orochimaru looks just like you then?"

"No, but he could if he wanted to. That sick freak. He took my Linkin Park CD's and never gave them back!"

"Animosity towards a man named Orochimaru, highly petulant and aggressive," muttered the police man as he jotted down information.

"Can I like, go now?"

"Hold on, there's one small issue remaining."

"Yeah, what? Get it over with already."

"You rule over a place called the 'Village Hidden in the Rain,' correct?"

"That's right, we're all cool over there, unlike you happy go lucky conformists."

"And, would you say it rains there a lot?"

"Yeah, of course it does. I make it rain with my awesome rain powers, it's totally poetic."

The police man adjusted his pants. "Alright, that's all I needed to know."

"Can I go now?" Pain huffed impatiently.

"I'm sorry Mr. Pain." He circled around and grabbed Pain's wrists. "I'm afraid I have to place you under arrest."

"No way, that's lame. I could like, totally sue you for false imprisonment."

The policeman sighed. "Frankly, I'm a little sick of dealing with you." He snapped the cuffs on. "Let's go."

"I'm going to be so mad when the rest of me finds out about this."

Meanwhile, across town at a local spa.

"The Shurado path got arrested," said the Ningendo path.

"Who cares," said the Chikushodo path as she got her nails done. "That loser called us posers, besides, he's the one who has a conformist name."

"Yeah, what kind of a name is Yahiko anyway?" said the Jigokudo path "If I had a name, I'd wanna be called Frank."

Everyone glared silently at the Jigokudo path.

"What, what is it?" he said.

All of them except Jigokudo cleared out of the building, Chikushodo leaned back in before closing the door. "Poser."

As everyone else left, Jigokudo cried himself to sleep in a spa chair. He was later carried out and tossed into the gutter.
