K this might be kinda late and it really doesn't matter to the storyline or anything. It's just Naruto's choice of action confused me. Check out this page of the manga:
This is right after Naruto has his natural chakra sucked out of him by Preta Pain and Preta turns into a toad statue. Why didn't Naruto just absorb some more natural energy to become a sage again? Deva Pain was just standing there amazed so Naruto would have had plenty of time to go back into Sage mode before breaking free from Toad Preta statue. Then he could've made a Kage Bunshin quickly to snatch Fukasaku from Bansho Tenin and with his real body he could've landed a solid punch to Deva Path's face since he was already using his power and wouldn't have been able to blast him away with Shinra Tensei.
I guess it was just a stupid way to get Naruto subdued so he and Pain could have a conversation and also so Hinata could confess her love. But I still think it was retarded.
