There was not enough Intel, Jaraiya would still be alive today if so, after all, I believe he was the most powerful Shinobi that ever existed, surpassing Minato as well and Hashirama and Tobirama. In fact, with the correct Intel, Jaraiya could have not only taken down Minato and Tobirama simultaneously but he could have as well taken down Hashirama and Obito, all by his lonesome, we all forget that Jaraiya as well has one of the highest IQs in the Shinobi world, hidden sage art and a massive arsenal of strategy after decades of combat. Even Shikiamaru would have had to submit quite hurriedly in a one on one. Afterall, Toad Sage was capable of much more than what we've all seen in the anime, in fact, I do believe Jaraiya was one of the only Shinobi Madara was truly afraid of, thus, he had the most powerful squad delete him before things spiraled out of hand, because trust me... had Jaraiya had all the Intel he needed before he invaded the rain village, Pain, Kisame, Itachi and even Konan would have lost their lives up against Jaraiya's genius undoubtedly. Third Hokage would not have succeeded neither, nor Orochimaru but perhaps the snake would succeed in escaping, one of Orochimaru's top moves. Cowardice in the face of a greater enemy.
And let's not ask forget, Lord Jaraiya was Nagato's sensai, with the correct Intel our Lord Jaraiya would still be Hokage this day. He hides his will of fire, but it was always stronger than any Shinobi who entered the 3rd great Ninja War. Had he been around during the 4th, the Shinobi world would be a different place today. Long live the king: Lord Jaraiya, one of the Three Only Legendary Sannin as well as one of the most powerful human Toad Sages alive in his time and prime.
In order for peace to be established, first there came the pain, for what are we without feeling alive every now an then, even if through chaos,
Man is incapable of peace alone, one needs the help of a much greater power to achieve such a goal, nevertheless the day approaches more and more rapidly to us, where there can be peace and freedom for 10,000 years and the lands and vasts shall expand as the creator should will it, perhaps manifestation of a larger earth, slowly growing and expanding,
Truly we know not the outcomes of anything, but the key is to stay focused on the thing that drives us. Rain, sleet snow, hell be there to fulfill that duty you acquired for yourself at any cost.
Win the battle over and over and as you conquer the secrets of the mind.
We may be mortal men but even in this instant that we live we are capable of millions of creations and we continue to grow and succeed to perform even more sufficient tactics in order for the survival of humanity throughout the contenuem of time.
It is no longer about one country at this point, it's about us all coming together and attempting to solve the true problems of this planet. Why must we act evil purposely, I can see it in the faces of the masses daily. Yet the reasons are weak and clouded, uncured and fueled by unhealed trauma and emotions.
It's possible for man to bring peace, yes, but the Holy One blessed be his name, is the one and only One truly capable of deciding bringing about the halt to Pain and returning this earth back into something that would succeed into a glorious nation as one and solve the true issues of which we all suffer from, for instance: Russia has obtained the cure for cancer? Free to all elderly civilians I hear, incredible. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems the Russian nation is in fact very determined to obtain their image of respect and seem dedicated to only uplifting their own nation to a glorious power in order to succeed in all history and traits of their culture, perfecting, observing, keeping to the shadows. Who's land was it before the great blue and yellow country came to be? Questions yes, but my people are Red White and Blue and shall always be.
Vladimir Putin: "Betrayal is unforgivable" Thus he performs his duty to keep his nation safe at all costs.
Lord Pain of the Hidden Rain Village:
One of most powerful Shinobi to walk the face of the earth. Capable of destroying entire battalions of Chunin and Jonin alike within minutes. Capable of taking down Lady Tsunade one of the supposed legendary Sannin of the leaf.
Peace was his goal, but to get there Chaos was his Solution.
The prince has risen from his slumber.
