Pain and Jiraiya in “Unfinished Business”

Pain

Nothing happened. Nothing except for the war. Too many people died in this land. All that pain forced me to grow up.

Jiraiya

What does that mean?

Pain

That even ignorant, foolish children will grow up in the face of pain until their thoughts and beliefs are the same as adults.

Jiraiya

But abandoning one's love for his friends and fellow man? Is that really what it means to become an adult?

Pain

Oh sensei, you're still merely a man. However I, mired in endless Pain, have matured and become much more than a man.

Jiraiya

What are you saying?

Pain

Yes, I've grown from a man... to a god. And since I'm a god, all my words and thoughts have become absolute. Poor sensei, you're still human. It's not your fault if you don't understand what I'm saying.

Jiraiya

Have you really become that twisted?

Pain

Things that I couldn't see when I was human are clear to me now that I'm a god. And being a god, I realize there are things I can do which mortal men can never dream of. Or to put it more simply I have evolved beyond that.

Jiraiya

Just what are you planning to do?

Pain

At last I'm going to put an end to this senseless war riddled world. This will be my sacred deed.
