Who is Pein and Who is Konan?

Pein and Konan are two of the Akatsuki members which we have waited to be revealed for long. At first they hide their names and we tried to uncover it. After we know Pein’s, we tried to learn about who he was before he became the Akatsuki Leader. So far we’ve know him a bit with Jiraiya’s investigation. Then Konan’s name was revealed later on. And so far, we got no information about this lady, yet. It just proves that they haven’t been revealed yet at all.

Then what is this being showed in Manga chapter 371? Pein called Jiraiya his ‘Sensei’ and it seems he was. And when Jiraiya met Konan, he seems that he knows a lot about her. He sees a different Konan from before. They must have been together for quite long if he knows a lot of Konan. And when he meets Pein, he’ll certainly recognize him. Is it possible that Pein is not his real name?

This gives me a hint that Pein and Konan have been parteners even before they join the Akatsuki. And they trained under Jiraiya-sama. Now, what made them join the Akatsuki? Was there something Jiraiya did that made them decide to walk away from the village? These questions make me think a lot of what’s about to happen. Of what’s to be revealed.

This also makes me think that Pein and Konan were Yondaime’s teammates before. Very possible, it seems. And it gives me another idea that Konan is a medical ninja like Sakura and Tsunade are. And Pein is a strong and smart guy like Sasuke is. These really make sense.
