Tsunade has indeed seen them.
After Jiraiya received the scroll, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring closely at the portrait on the scroll: "Is this... Konan?"
The moment Jiraiya saw Konan's portrait, he immediately recognized Konan's outline, which should be one of the three disciples he took in during his time in the Land of Rain.
Moreover...
Konan specializes in the Paper Release Secret Technique.
It's just unknown why Konan, who was thought to have died in battle, is still alive and has joined the notorious Akatsuki organization.
Jiraiya's expression changed slightly, then suddenly revealed a cheerful smile: "Although Konan has grown into a very beautiful woman, it's still possible to see traces of the past. Her personality seems to have changed quite a bit!"
After all, the Konan in the portrait showed no hint of gentleness, only cold and indifferent eyes, just like the other members of Akatsuki that Jiraiya had encountered.
Apathetic.
Ruthless.
Devouring people.
"Hmm? Konan... wasn't she the one in the Hidden Rain Village..."
Tsunade's expression also changed, she quickly looked up at Jiraiya: "If I remember correctly, they were supposed to have died in the chaos!"
Tsunade recalled hearing Jiraiya mention them.
Jiraiya stayed in the Land of Rain for three years, teaching and caring for three orphans, to be precise, those three children were Jiraiya's first batch of disciples.
Unfortunately, during the Third Ninja World War, Jiraiya received news from a message toad that those three children died on the battlefield, which left Jiraiya depressed for a long time.
"I don't know either..."
Jiraiya sighed and shook his head.
Aside from the three-year bond of a master-disciple relationship, Jiraiya believed one of the children with the Rinnegan might be the Child of Destiny he's been searching for.
The Rinnegan is the legendary Sage Eye.
Just then, Jiraiya received news of the Rinnegan, as he slowly opened the scroll sent from the Hidden Mist Village, his face became even more grim.
"It turned out to be Yahiko..."
Jiraiya subconsciously tightened his grip on the scroll in his hand, he immediately recognized Yahiko's resemblance, and also recognized the Rinnegan in Yahiko's eye sockets.
Jiraiya's fingers slowly relaxed, placing the scroll down on the table, his face became incredibly grim: "How did Yahiko get Nagato's Rinnegan... if Yahiko and Konan are alive, what about Nagato?"
The first thought in Jiraiya's mind was that Yahiko killed Nagato and took his Rinnegan.
No, it might be another situation.
After Nagato's death, Yahiko transplanted Nagato's Rinnegan, after all, Yahiko's personality is quite similar to Uzumaki Naruto's, he wouldn't be the type to harm a comrade.
This situation might be closer to the truth.
If Nagato was killed by someone else, and Yahiko, to avenge him, transplanted Nagato's Rinnegan and joined Akatsuki with the attempt to destroy the Ninja World.
This might be the most believable scenario.
"Ero Sage, Grandma Tsunade, do you know these two people?"
Uzumaki Naruto walked over, curiously looked at the two portraits on the scroll, rubbing his chin, he said: "Were they ninjas from our village before?"
"No."
Jiraiya shook his head, glanced again at the portraits of Pain and Konan, and said in a deep voice: "They are ninjas from the Land of Rain, during the Second Ninja World War, after the war ended, I took them in as disciples in the Land of Rain..."
After saying that, Jiraiya suddenly looked up at Tsunade, speaking in a low voice: "A few years ago, when Orochimaru invaded Konoha, Shimura Danzo coerced Uehara Naraku to assassinate the old man, promising certain conditions..."
"Among them, one clause."
Tsunade's face also darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "It was to ask Konoha to assist and support the Hidden Rain Village in eliminating Akatsuki, but later Uehara Naraku decided to cross it out to maintain the independence of the Hidden Rain Village and prevent the chaos from spreading."
"Hehe..."
Jiraiya chuckled lightly, shaking his head, he spoke in a low voice: "According to the analysis proposed by Uehara Naraku and the information we obtained, after Akatsuki and the Hidden Rain Village broke off, the Land of Rain was plunged into internal turmoil until Hanzo led the Hidden Rain Village to completely expel Akatsuki;
while before they broke off, Akatsuki was originally established with the support from the Hidden Rain Village. Back then, Uehara Naraku even actively recruited members for Akatsuki, so he must know Konan and Yahiko! After all, they are ninjas of the Land of Rain."
After taking a deep breath, Jiraiya slowly looked up at Tsunade, his expression gradually turned gloomy: "That kid Uehara Naraku has been hiding information about Konan and Yahiko, he has never shared any intelligence on these two with us!"
This means that the Hidden Rain Village has never genuinely cooperated with Konoha. Uehara Naraku has visited Konoha several times, often participated in allied talks, but has never mentioned Akatsuki has two hidden members.
"What do you think the purpose of the Hidden Rain Village hiding them is?"
Tsunade's fingers gently tapped on the table, lightly furrowing her brow: "Among the various ninja villages that participated in the siege against Akatsuki, the Hidden Rain Village has always been the most active, also thanks to Uehara Naraku, who saved the Fifth Kazekage."
Tsunade lowered her head to look at the scroll again, speaking softly: "Before our last siege against Kakuzu, Uehara Naraku once mentioned wanting the treasures on Kakuzu's body for Hanzo of the Salamander's longevity, could the Rinnegan have a similar functionality?"
