Jiraiya had tried to close in on the Six Paths of Pain through rapid maneuvering, hoping to defeat his former prized student. But he soon realized that each of the six bodies possessed vastly different abilities. Most troublesome were the one that could absorb various ninjutsu and chakra, and the ones that wielded powerful repulsion and attraction.
"Does the Rinnegan really have these abilities too? Old man, have you ever heard anything about this from the old sage back home?!"
Since the start of the battle,
the two Toad Sages had been perched on Jiraiya's shoulders.
Shima stared at the Six Paths of Pain above them in shock and spoke in an extremely solemn tone.
The legendary Rinnegan.
It was the symbol of the Sage's Eye.
Shima knew that the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku had once spent time with the true Sage of Six Paths. In theory, their Great Toad Sage should have known all about the Rinnegan's special abilities.
"Old woman, show the Great Toad Sage a little respect."
After his customary retort,
Fukasaku kept his hands in a Hand Seal and shook his head slightly before continuing.
"The Rinnegan abilities the Great Toad Sage once spoke of are different from the ones this Pain is using. But perhaps that's because the eyes are different? It's probably normal for the same dōjutsu to develop different abilities. The important thing is, little Jiraiya, we have to take out the Pain that can revive the others first! Otherwise, this battle will never end. Even if the two of us can hold out, your body won't be able to maintain Sage Mode for long!"
Repulsion and attraction.

The special summoned beasts.
Could they really be more difficult to deal with than the Tailed
