Talking about balance, the way i see it, Naruto actually balances the power that Pein showed in the manga. When Pein came in the village, he was way too powerful than any/all of the shinobis of Konoha. No one can stop him and it's way too easy for Pein to do what he liked. Then came Naruto. Like you said, he was able to beat the Pein bodies, at least five of them, without that much effort. If Naruto was not able to do that, who would have? Who would save Konoha from the overwhelming power of Pein? Another thing, if Naruto won't be able to beat the Pein bodies, how in hell will he be able to beat those other overpowered villains out there (Nagato, Madara...)? For me, it would really be a disappointment if a shinobi, other than Naruto, will be the one to beat those guys. He can get some help but ultimately, it would be his glory to beat them. He IS the main hero. This is why for me, the fight is where it should be. Let's just wait and see what happens next manga now that it's one on one with God Pein with his powers back full. This would be interesting...
I too agree with u man....whoever says that they've made Naruto too strong is wrong....naruto right now is just perfect. He can take on six bodies of pain and though ppl say he's stronger than Sasgay they're wrong....i think he an Sasgay will be equally matched now....
And btw these are the possible things that will happen in next chapter:
1 Naruto will know and kill the real pain
2 Naruto will use a new jutsu ( but maybe this is impossible)
3 Naruto finnaly use the 9-tails chakra
4 Naruto will use the key at the scroll that jiraiya left for him to control 9-tails chakra
5 Naruto Finally use the third sage mode and success kill all pain
6 Naruto will die...and tsunade use tensei jutsu (revive jutsu) to bring naruto back alive
7 The gai team will come on time when naruto need help.
8 Yamato and sai will come to help naruto
9 Killer bee will come and help naruto
10 The konoha allies (Suna-gakure) will come and help konoha
And also....Now that GOD PAIN has got all his powers
1 he is now going and merging with all the pains
2 Naruto will bust the PAIN into pieces but unfortunately he will walk out of 3he repair machine.
4 Gamambunta uses the oil to burst out the machine but is unable to.
5 Uchiha sasuke suddenly appears out of nowhere and kills the PAIN that is under the hood.
6 Sasuke secret is unveiled in the episode as he was actually tricked upon by PAIN himself and it was made as if that HITACHI was supposed to kill as Konoha had asked. It was actually PAIN -- who is controlled but uchiha madara.
7 Naruto and all are shocked to see him. Naruto then burst with anger and several Rasen shurekens to kill all the pains.
8 He uses body jitter technique and then puts the rasens near all the pains...
I saw these from a couple of websites.... what do you guys think???
