Hes known Pein since before he left akatsuki so the time won't match. I am very curious as to how this will work out. No one but Jiraya and Naruto are currently up their to battle the rest of the Akatsuki and I have grave doubts about Naruto. Mandara was on the 1st hokages level, and the rest aren't that far behind.
It's cheap in my opinion , really shows how the Author has begun to shark jump. Personally I would have made the akatsuki Leader his Fahter out of sheer Irony.
yup. his original body would be minato{if it is minato's soul or not i dunno} only covered in PAINful piercings. the one where he is referring to jiraya as sensei is diedara's body{who he also pierced}. dunno. maybe the 4 shadow stages of the kyuubi{or 5} fused with minato's soul in their fight and gave rise to a darker minato who needs/understand the power of the jinchuuriku and wants it for himself. or maybe the death god's power is contributing to minato's strength. his original body certainly LOOKS like yondaime with piercings in it.

There is no need to think when Naruto's father has been confirmed.
As for Tobi I still think he's Obito but he's sitting on Madara's head, and talking about watching Sasuke develop which makes me think he isn't Obito at all but I don't think he's Madara either. Unless Orochimaru learned his body-stealing jutsu from Madara because it couldn't be the other way around since Madara would be dead long before Orochimaru made it.
actually it was almost definately diedara. it isnt the body pain has normally been using thats for sure. pain had yondaime type hair before. it doesnt look like diedara because the expression changed along with the face{so many new piercings} and pain's unique eyes take the place of diedara's so it looks like sum1 else. but im sure its diedara's body. it certainly isnt the body he was using before.

i have a theory. the bodies we saw in pain's lair are the ACTUAL bodies of all the akatsuki{or most of them}. they are either dead/preserved or sedated/paralysed. through these machines pain can put their souls in other bodies he chooses with his jutsu. and thus they are bound to pain for sustainance and his will{wud also explain why he can contact them telepathically in a way}. that is why they serve him and do his biding. and he chooses bodies he wishes to enter as he pleases. perhaps death is a necessary criteria for this{the death of the actual person} perhaps not. so in reality diedara clone died and pain took his body. pain prolly needs other bodies to survive like urochimaru.
or consequently the bodies in hybernation in pain's lair cud be clones he made of the original, only special clones with 100% abilities as opposed to less than 30%.
reguardless theres a large possibility that pain is in diedara's body.
