It's Not Johnny wrote: @Jason They appeared because Jiraiya had defeated the 3 Paths of Pain. They were trying to attack him when he was convinced of victory. That makes sense but it's just speculation right? as it wasn't made clear. Another way to look at it is that Nagato got affected by the audio genjutsu as well, seeing as how he was unable to snap the paths out of genjutsu even though he was the one who was controlling their movements.He see what they see and hear what they hear.

The Paths were affected by an audio Genjutsu, not a visual Genjutsu. And even if one of them is caught, then it doesn't matter as the other ones can break it out utilizing the Partner Method. The partner method won't work in this case seeing as how they have the shared vision lol, they will all be affected. Hitting 6 birds with one stone.
