i just had a thought... what if naruto REALLY grew up from all his training. what if when he comes back to kohona he sees all the damage and all the hurt people and gives himself up? something like naruto agrees to go with pein peacefully if pein stops his assault on the village. naruto's true intent is only to get pein away from the village so that when they fight nobody else is around to get hurt. kohona would of course plan to save him.
on second thought i suppose naruto could just send a shadow clone to lure pein away from the village. eh, whatever...
