What episode of Naruto does the Rinnegan first appear in?


The wiki says it appears in the episode 135 of the original series, but I
can't see it anywhere. What episode does it appear in? Because I need to see
it.




It is in fact in episode 135 "[The Promise That Could Not Be
Kept](https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/The_Promise_That_Could_Not_Be_Kept)"
(alternatively, episode 35 of season 3), as can be seen here (taken from the
end of the episode, sorry about the bad quality):

> [![Screenshot of a single Rinnegan, looking straight at the
> viewer.](https://i.stack.imgur.com/m3ENB.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/m3ENB.png)

You've to remember that in the earlier episodes, we did not actually see Pain,
we just saw these images of the Akatsuki members. But the Rinnegan was seen
already back then.
