VerifiedThe most accurate way to show us the origin of the kids of the rain village. We can understand a little bit Nagato's vision and I think Konan's vision too. but the main is Madara beeing the worst person ever
ikkaku_iron
Tobi having an extra sharingan just to use izanagi felt like total plot armor because Konan actually outsmarted him and should have won that fight
ash_ketchum
I really thought Konan was going to take him out with that paper bomb ocean because she calculated every single second of his teleporting. It feels like such a robbery that he could just rewrite reality to survive after she spent years planning that trap for him. Seeing her finally rest with Yahiko and Nagato was the only part that felt okay
nanami_nexus
Seeing Nagato with his red hair in the flashback made the Uzumaki connection so clear and it makes his bond with Naruto feel even more important now
epona_265
The original trio from the rain village had such a tragic ending and Konan died protecting her friends dreams just like a hero
isekaibro
That flashback to Jiraiya and the kids in their old hideout felt so bittersweet; it reminded me of all the simple moments before everything got so complicated. When the red paper finally turned white, my heart ached knowing it wasn't just his death, but the end of his last, precious hope for peace.

I can't believe Konan lost after that huge paper bomb sea and she had the perfect plan but Tobi just cheated with that eye power
professor_kukui
600 billion bombs is the most incredible thing ever and Konan really almost had him if it wasn't for that izanagi stuff
connie_comrade
My heart actually broke when they showed the little frog tiles at their old house, it was such a simple way to show they finally made it home together
sharp_279
I was absolutely fuming watching Konan pour her heart and soul into that fight, all for Nagato and Yahiko's memory, only for Tobi to cheap out with Izanagi. It makes me wonder just how desperate he truly was, that he'd resort to such a dirty trick when she had him dead to rights with those paper bombs. I felt so cheated for her.
diana_376
Dude, when Konan split the ocean and revealed that insane pit of paper bombs, my jaw dropped. I genuinely thought she had Obito beat for a second there; it was such a desperate, last-ditch move that really highlighted her unwavering loyalty to Nagato, which I honestly didn't fully grasp until that moment.
simon_the_digger_185
I seriously can't believe Tobi would try to claim he was behind Yahiko starting the Akatsuki; it just felt like such a transparent lie designed to mess with Naruto's head and undermine everything. My gut tells me he's always trying to twist history for his own sick satisfaction, which is infuriating.
rubeus
Konan calling Naruto the "bridge to peace" totally brought me back to the Land of Waves, and man, it just broke my heart thinking she won't ever get to see him actually build that bridge. Her faith in him is so strong, but it's such a tragic irony given her fate.
impa
I was honestly so convinced Konan had him with those six hundred billion paper bombs; my heart just sank when Obito popped back up like nothing happened. Seeing her blood stain that paper frog, thinking of Yahiko and Nagato, really reminded me of how much she sacrificed for their dream, and it just felt so unfair.
raijin_rider
That chilling Rinnegan, staring right at me from Tobi’s new mask after Konan’s struggle, made my blood run cold. I just kept thinking, how did he even get that, and what fresh hell is he planning with all that power? He’s truly become something terrifyingly inhuman.
subrosian_292
When the rain finally stopped in the Hidden Rain Village, I genuinely felt a sense of calm wash over me, only for Konan to then sacrifice herself protecting Nagato’s eyes and her friends. I was really holding onto hope she’d make it, but her deep devotion to Nagato and their shared past clearly meant more than anything to her, and that realization just gutted me.
garou_gusher_121
Dude, when Tobi just casually dropped that Nagato's an Uzumaki, my mind was blown, like, it makes so much sense now why he was such a powerhouse, and it really makes me think about how much hidden power exists in that clan we don't even know about yet.
sunekosuri_slayer
Oh man, seeing that paper frog turn red and show up back at their old hideout just wrecked me. It's so messed up that the only way for the original orphans to finally be together again is like this, after everything they've been through.
kaguya_sama_161
After watching Konan outsmart Tobi so completely with that insane paper bomb sea, I was genuinely cheering for her victory, she had him dead to rights. My jaw just dropped when he pulled out Izanagi to survive, it really felt like such a cheap move and totally undermined all the brilliant strategy she poured into that fight.
robin_reader
Konan's desperation with that six hundred billion paper bomb jutsu was absolutely wild; I was genuinely convinced for a solid minute that she had actually wiped Tobi off the face of the earth. The sheer scale and relentless explosions just felt endless, and honestly, I was rooting for her so hard after everything Tobi did to Nagato and Yahiko.
