First off read 419 to 440 because Im a lazy **** and will only paraphrase what I've come to understand.
im making this thread to clearify that sage naruto was still on par with mangekyou sasuke kage summit arc
Pain is way stronger than naruto and saskue before the kage meet, he's the only one to have shown all the abilities of the rinnegan and has abundance of charka due to his heritage. but did Naruto really defeat him... well on his own at least. The ones' (plural) that did defeat pain are the kohoha elites (excluding anbu ), jiraiyas' code which was later solved by kakashi in exchange for his life, 9T , and Fourth hokage.
Entering the battle with Naruto pain had exhausted a good amount of charka that he was on CD, he then later could not finish sealing the 9T, and in the end was talked no jutsu.
Edo nagato could have easily recked 9t and 8t but for further reference for the solo king itachi, he stopped him in one chapter.
