Ryūsui

is from Amegakure, though he has a scratch through the village symbol on his headband to indicate his loyalty to Pain. He and his partner, Yūdachi, are captured by Jiraiya. When they refused to tell Jiraiya any information on Pain, even after tickle torture on his partner, he transformed Yudachi into a frog, which cowed Ryusui into divulging/giving info about Pain. Jiraiya then tries to control Ryusui in an attempt to find Pain, but is found by Konan. Ryusui is able to escape.
