I hope not.. Sasuke always saves Naruto somehow and I'm getting tired of it. =\Sasuke will show up as Naruto is about to be defeated and save him..
Lol yeah.. Naruto is capable and i do hope he does it alone, would be another kick in the nuts for Sasuke finding out that Naruto took down one of the strongest members of the Akatsuki aloneNaruto won't need any saving this time around. He's fully capable of beating the crap out of Pain. Sasuke may help him, but then maybe turn on Konoha once more.
