Pretty cool fight, Pain having a "medic" or sorts, as well as summoners and the like, adds a nice bit of strategy to the fight. I'm not sure if it was exploited as much as it should have been, though. Also, I would have liked if Shikamaru and some others could have helped. Naruto may be having trouble, but if he ends up winning by himself I think he will be overpowered.

Also, and I may be underestimating Pain, but he himself doesn't seem overly powerful. I think that if the Konoha ninja got together, they could beat him since alot of his tricks are known at this point. As it is Kishimoto is in danger of making all of the Konoha ninja not named Naruto look weak, imo.

Not saying this isn't an interesting fight, I'm actually really enjoying it and I like what it has done for Naruto himself, I am just stating my concerns at this point. I could very well be wrong.

Yeah you'll just have to see what happens moving forward. Their is plenty of great moments coming up. I am not sure i quite understand this comment though.

Well, the other Ninja haven't done much so far and have gotten beat pretty handily. I like to think people like Shikamaru or Kakashi could do something if they knew Pain's strengths and weaknesses but as it is seeing Naruto *possibly* beat all Six Paths of Pain single handily just rubs me the wrong way. What worries me is that the series could go the Dragon Ball route and have Naruto completely leave everyone in the dust. In a series that has, imo, a pretty solid cast of characters, that would be a shame.

Now, understand I am leaving Tsunade out of this. Her summo obviously was instrumental in keeping people alive as is the case for medical ninja in general, I guess. Thinking about it, though, maybe Naruto just lucked out in gaining the knowledge everyone else didn't know in their battles.

The clone idea was pretty damn smart, now where do they go from here though?

Having Sage Mode in reserve ain't such a bad idea!

Finally a decent fight scene in Naruto where he actually uses his brains and has a truly formidable opponent.

Pain is still going strong.

Naruto's shadow clones accumulating the senjutsu chakra was hella smart.

I never expected that from Naruto! That was a clever strategy to preserve two clones in sage mode! This episode is great!

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

The sage mode was a very good solution, I knew he would do something with clones, like last time with the rasenshuriken. Also the strategy to hit Pain who can revive teammates, was great, although a little strange that they didn't look up, it would have been even more effective if it was an underground attack, like when he fought Neji.

all is well and good but i do not understand the logic of standing and staring at a giant shuriken of chakra coming at you instead of dodging. rest all the analogy was on spot about using shadow clones as storage for sage mode, best part would be the rasengan barrage inside the mouth of gamabunta lol the face he made later, that was so goofy.
