In Which Episode Does Naruto Fight Pain?

The iconic showdown kicks off in Episode 163, titled “Explosion! Sage Mode”. But it doesn’t end there – the battle lasts a whopping six episodes! The end comes in Episode 169, “The Two Students.”

In this arc, Naruto’s got his game face on and is ready to show off his Perfect Toad Sage Mode. He’s got a few tricks up his sleeve, including the power of the nine-tailed fox and his inherent smarts.

But this isn’t a fight about who can throw the biggest fireball jutsu. It’s a battle of ideologies – Naruto’s belief in peace and forgiveness versus Pain’s desire for control and domination.

In the end, Naruto emerges victorious, but not just because of his ninja skills. He convinces Nagato, the real Pain, to sacrifice himself to revive everyone who was killed in the battle. It’s a touching moment that earns Naruto the respect of his fellow villagers and brings him one step closer to his dream of becoming the Hokage.

What Chapter Does Naruto Fight Pain?

The fight begins in chapter 430, named “Naruto Returns!!” because, let’s face it, things always get crazy when Naruto’s around. And it doesn’t end until chapter 450, titled “The Joyous Village!!!”

These chapters are also adapted into episodes 163 to 169 of Naruto Shippuden respectively, so whether you prefer manga or anime, there’s something for everyone.

Get ready for some serious ninja action as Naruto unleashes his full power against Pain.

In Which Episode Does Naruto Master Sage Mode?

Naruto’s transformation into a master of sage mode starts in episode 154, fittingly titled “Decryption”, since Sage Mode is like cracking a secret code.

After the tragic loss of his sensei Jiraiya, Naruto goes on a journey to Mount Myoboku to train in the mystical art of Senjutsu. He learns about the delicate balance of natural energy and the dangers of overindulging in it (kind of like how we feel after too much pizza).

Naruto manages to figure it out, though. He ultimately masters Sage Mode in episode 156, named “Surpassing the Master” – this guy is all about breaking limits. And his training doesn’t stop there. He also masters Frog Kumite, a technique that lets him hit his enemies from a distance with taijutsu.

All of this leads to one of the most epic entrances in anime history as Naruto faces off against the Six Paths of Pain in episode 162. So, get ready to witness the rise of the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto Uzumaki!

In Which Episode Does Naruto Fight Pain as Nine Tails?

Naruto goes all out with his inner beast from Episode 166, “Confession”, to Episode 168, “The Fourth Hokage.”

As Pain wreaks havoc on Naruto’s beloved village, his anger levels are off the charts. So he transforms into the Nine Tailed Fox mode to protect his home, making him look like a fiery demon.

In Which Episode Did Naruto Meet Nagato?

Naruto met Nagato in episode 169,“The Two Students”,  and continued the talk in episodes 172 to 174, named “Tale of Naruto Uzumaki.”

After breaking free from the Nine Tails’ control, Naruto tracked down Nagato – not to kick his butt, but to talk things out like civilized people. But in order to do this, Naruto had to use his Talk-no-Jutsu to persuade Nagato to trust him and work towards true peace.

As an unexpected result, Nagato decided to use the rest of his chakra to revive everyone who died during the war with his Outer Path — Technique of Heavenly Life Samsara. That’s one way to win a conversation, eh?

In Which Episode Does Kakashi Fight Pain?

I dare you to find an episode more aptly titled than 159, “Pain vs Kakashi”! Kakashi put up a good fight against the biggest threat the Hidden Leaf has ever faced. Even at a disadvantage in numbers, Kakashi refused to throw in the towel.

It was a real treat to see the Copy Ninja take on someone stronger than himself. And if Kakashi had known what he was up against, he probably would have brought a whole squad with him. Unfortunately, he met his untimely demise in the battle. But thanks to Pain’s heavenly life technique, he was brought right back to life afterwards. No permanent harm done!

So, there you have it, folks! Another thrilling battle in the world of Naruto. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and until next time, keep your kunai sharp and your jutsu sharper!
