1) The whole point of my post was to prove that the fox did not save his ass, in fact, kurama did more harm than good by giving pein an easier opponent, l2read what i'm quoting next time.
2) nagato could not have controlled all the paths of pein and also been in the battlefield and fought Naruto, It took a lot of control and he had to be hidden and out of the way to do that. So don't confuse Nagato with pein. Yes he is the final path so to speak, but he is not a character that can fight alongside his paths (maybe in his prime, but thats long ago), especially at the point in the manga we are discussing now. (pein arc)
3) U mad that Naruto had 3 Sm clones, and his toad summons? Thats part of his arsenal..thats like saying oro or kabuto can't include edo tensei in their fight. Seriously, your just mad that something that seems cheap, is a legit weapon in his arsenal.
4) the hinata/minato/kurama Saved him argument is invalid. i'm saying "If that never happened" To quote me directly "If he had not run out of SM chakra" and continued fighting the final path.
5) Deva path, Regardless of how much it was affected by other it, at prime. Would have still lost.
6) critical info... (so he got some information, you have 1 valid point to the fact that he had an edge, but regardless that the argument that kurama's peace with naruto, allowing them to fuse with ma and pa, would be OP as shit and if we see it, will blow old school SM out of the water.
Balls in your court mate...
