Did Naruto Really Beat Six Paths of Pain?

[HiruzenSwag]

Can we say that was a fair fight?​

After using a massive Shinra Tensei (ST) to destroy the Leaf, Nagato had already used A LOT of chakra (as seen via the fact that Nagato had to shut down the other paths, and couldnt use another ST for several minutes

So the 6 paths of pain and naruto go at it, with nagato operating at about 50-75% of chakra. We all know what happened next. Naruto lets Kurama run wild and then the latter he resealed thanks to Minato (another factor of the unfair fight)

So to conclude, was the fight a little unfair? Nagato kinda had the disadvantage, and naruto recieved help from Kurama. Just a theory and wanted to know what NB thought!

 

[Kuroh]

plot no jutsu did

 

[Naruto D Luffy]

No

That shit was fair as ****. NO ONE had any Chakra problems during the WHOLE ENTIRE FIGHT.

This tread is stupid as F-uck!

Nagato isn't an idiot, he knew full well when he used Shinra Tensei that he wouldn't be at "optimal" strength. He was fully prepared to take on the 9-tails jinchuuriki with all the info that he had on him. It was eventually SM that surprised Nagato, and so I say Naruto won the fight fairly. . .as far as fairly until plot no justu goes.

How can you say that when Nagato wasnt running at full power? in theory that is. The ST he used was HUGE, so big it shortened Nagatos lifespan. Youre saying that after using a move like that, then going into a full on battle is fair? i dont think so

 

[Narutofan4203]

Plot no Jutsu, and he didn't lose much.

this definitely wasnt a fair fight.plot no jutsu interviened

 

[BlackBison]

Nagato knew naruto wasn't in konoha so he decided to destroy the village. How was he to know that right after naruto would just pop right back into the village. He was kinda caught off guard and yet he still managed to eventually pin naruto down. Thats were their fight ended because soon after the nine tails took over and started fighting pein not naruto. Officially the fight counted as naruto win but theoretically naruto lost that fight.

Ok. so you are saying, FROM THE BEGINNING, when SM Naruto poofed into the leaf village, Pain couldve used his super ST on naruto and easily end the fight at that instant?

 

[Early Man]

yes?

no i think theres a misunderstanding here. Its because that super ST that Pain wasnt at 100% which is what im arguing in a sense.

Im saying that basically the fight was naruto at 100% vs Pain at most 75%

 

[Harry Balzac]

He did beat the 6 paths of pain, each and every single one of them 1 by 1. And yes he had help from Kyuubi but so what? He's a jinchuriki. They use bijuu powers, it's what they do.

 

[Guilty as Sin]

Naruto wasn't exactly in perfect fighting form either. He had just immediately come back from training and didn't fully master the sage mode he fought Nagato with. He had the two frogs fighting with him, and had three summons he didn't have before.

I'd say that's a very even fight. If anything, Naruto was at a disadvantage and it as unfair towards him, and I'll tell you why:

Nagato's six paths of pain count as six separate people. Naruto isn't fighting Nagato directly. In fact, you might say he is not even fighting Nagato at all. Nagato is a shadow of his former self, plastered to a machine. He was manipulating corpses who do not feel, who have, by some means, implanted Rinnegans, and have extremely powerful abilities in and of themselves (Sure, each path has a distinct ability, but they are still capable ninjas in their own individual rights).

Take the path that can revive the other paths. This is ridiculously and unimaginably overpowered: If you think about it, Naruto had to defeat 8 people, not 6, after the paths he destroyed were revived.

Now, this is not to say that Naruto won because he was better. Naruto won in part because Nagato wasn't trying to kill Naruto, he was trying to capture, which is extremely more difficult.

But I'm not here to debate whether Nagato should have won or whether he was trolled. All I'm trying to say is that, if anything, Naruto was at an unfair advantage, not Nagato. That's what made his victory that much more amazing.

Nagato fought a lot differently against Naruto than against Jiraiya with all 6 Paths

Against Jiraiya:

You always see at least the 3 offensive Paths (Deva, Asura, Preta) go after Jiraiya, if not all 6 (or 5 since 1 died). Even when Jiraiya was half dead and most likely certain his heart stopped, he still sent 3 Paths to finish him off.

Against Naruto:

Throughout the whole fight, Nagato has been sending one Path at a time to fight him, even though he's supposed to surpass Jiraiya. Naruto ends up defeating them one by one because while one steps up, the others stand there and watch.

Actually, the only tag team move in that fight was this:

The reason is simple. He was allowed to kill Jiraiya, but because Naruto is a Jinchuriki, he can't risk unnecessary killing, or it will mess up his big plan (big weapon, big boom, world peace).

So its not that Nagato was chakra drained or anything, his intent to kill was severely lower to the point where he changed his battle style, and he was beaten easily.

 

[Solo]

Don't spew bull about "Ohh.. He had knowledge."

Pain had knowledge of Sage Mode and the Frog Song.

 

[Voltron]

duh, why would naruto still be alive otherwise?

 

[PretaPath]

No it wasn't a fair fight.
Pain goal was to capture Naruto, not kill him
Before that he exausted his chakra destroying the village
And even considering all of this, he still won the fight, but hinata then interfered
He could have killed Naruto easily after he pinned him down. Yet he didn't.

 

[KidGamer65]

Naruto beat him, that's a fact, but whether it was fair or not doesn't really matter since Pain was the one who had to capture Naruto alive, giving Naruto an advantage.

Pain went into the fight knowing he would be at a disadvantage..
