I am not 100% sure if these spoilers are accurate, so if they are not please dont bite my head off

From: Silverblade of Narutocentral Forum

The chapter opens up to Naruto facing Pain.

Naruto: Let’s do this.

Pain: Very well then, Jinchuuriki.

Summoner Pain steps forth with an array of summons. (Those crazy dogs, a beetle, a bird, a dragon and a panda.)

All the frogs prepare for battle. Tsuande and Anbu are shocked.

Naruto: Gamaken, Gamabunta and Gamakichi NOW!!!

All three toads shoot oil on the summons except the bird.

Gamaken: I missed one. My aim is bad.

Gamabunta: Shut up Gamaken four is good enough.

Naruto: Sage arts! Katon: Wildfire technique!

A powerful eruption of flames and fireballs spew forth from Naruto’s mouth burning the summons to a crisp. Leaving a thick smoke behind.

Pa Toad asunder the bird with a wind technique. The bird explodes into white smoke.

Naruto spots the summoner within the smoke, then he takes off at lighting speed and vanishes in the smoke. The Summoner body is seen flying out the smoke spiraling into the ground with a thud that leaves a billow of dust behind.

That leaves God Realm, Hungry ghost, Hell Realm and Human realm left.

God Pain: You’re tougher than i thought.

Naruto: *thinking This guy is like my kage bunshin jutsu. All replicas, but not real. I know!*

Naruto smirks with a kage bunshin handseal.

Does no one else doubt those pics? For example, look at the first pic here of Naruto using a fire jutsu, but look at pages 10 and 14 of ch389 and you'll see where those panels came from (and were just edited). The second pic here doesn't even look like Kishimoto's art (probably another edit)... I also read the scipts were fake, which I believe after seeing the edited pics (I also don't believe Naruto will be using any fire jutsus). DarkNataku, you're not at fault here, since you did state "here are some POSSIBLE pics and summaries", I'm just letting everyone else know not to get their hopes up based on these.

Naruto asks Gamakichi to evacuate everyone.

He asks Tsunade about Kakashi. He can sense chakra of everyone in a village with Sennin power, but he can’t sense Kakashi’s.
Tsunade becomes silent.

The chapter begins with a far view of pain and Naruto looking at each others.

Pain says: The time has come to finally get the last piece of the puzzle.

Pain do some weird hand seals and the earth begin to shake. The ground start to collapse under Naruto’s feet and suddenly a big amount of air pressure push Naruto into the air.

Two summoned giant dogs jump to catch Naruto while hes falling but 2 clones of Naruto intercept them with 2 huge Oodama Rasengan and make them K.O.

Naruto says: I won’t let you have it your way. You’ll pay for what you’ve done.

The frogs start to grab their weapons and are ready to attack while Naruto shout of them and tell them to wait.

A flash back during Naruto’s training take place..its while hes training in sage mode at Fuuton Rasenshuriken
in secret.

Naruto says: It’s good for nothing if i harm myself as much as my opponent..there’s probably a way with this sage mode I should be able to solve that.

As for this pic above:
Pain: Should've been able to dodge that...

Fukasaku: Kawazu Kumite (Frog-fu) makes use of the surrounding natural energy. The energy becomes part of Naruto's body and attacks Pain.

Fukasaku: Under Sennin mode, the sense of danger and the range of attack complements each other.

It goes back to the present and Naruto is concentrating more sage chakra.

Pain says: You are really not how i expected but i presume your out of chakra now..why do you stand there for?

Last picture finish with Naruto looking with avenging eyes and he says: This time i’m gonna take out all of you.

That start to the battle was intense. He took out the fodder and knocked out one more Pain. About Kakashi though... it's definitely not looking good for him since Naruto said that he could feel everyone's chakra in the village... but then asked if Kakashi was out on a mission. After receiving no answer, he understood immediately.

And also... that summary... is off. Naruto has no flashbacks.:| He just goes in and pwns. Pain says nothing about Naruto being out of chakra. What he says on the last page there is something like "so dodging will only lead to that..." *as he looks over at fat Pain's limp body*. What Naruto says is something to the effect of, "With my new jutsu, I'll end this in one shot."

Naruto looks like he's gonna open a can of whoop-*** on Pain but I'm still PO'd that Kakashi died so easily. He used up his chakra for the sharingan but he shouldn't have died at the mercy of a nail. On top of that, he's left in the rubble like he's trash. What a way to kill the characters, Kishimoto.

Naruto and Pain are on a very high level. But it's still a Sasuke-Itachi match... Pain is much stronger than Naruto.

Naruto is assisted by all those frogs that he did not summon by himself, and he got Katsuyu to tell him about Pain. Also, Pain is not allowed to kill Naruto, and Pain have wasted a LOT of chakra destroying Konoha...

But I don't complain. To me, it's cool that Naruto is fighting a superior foe.

DarkNataku

January 16th, 2009, 06:23 AM

Pein let his emotion get in the way and he destroyed Konoha, even after learning Naruto's location bc it was his justice. Itachi was way above the level of Sasuke, his will was broken when his last attacked failed to kill Itachi. And so what is Naruto is using Summons to dispatch Pein's summons, he is on a time limit that is why he wants to end it already. I wonder if when the attack is about to hit God Realm will Konan step in to save him.

My post at 5:31 was from seeing 6 pictures around 8 I found 12 but not in order but I had a good feeling it would be out soon.

Nice action, Naruto is kicking major butt.

If his next attack is going to be the throwable-can't-hurt-myself Rasenshuriken (I called it back in october btw), then I sure hope it hits at least one of the Pein bodies the first time. This can't be another Kakuzu incident, where it misses first and he has to do it again.

And yet again, things aren't looking good for Kakashi. I'm hoping his chakra is just so low it's practically undetectable, but he still has a glimmer of hope to be saved. For Kishimoto to kill him off the way he did, that's just wrong.

Siendra

January 16th, 2009, 08:45 AM

If Tsunande dies and Naruto becomes hokage I will drop this manga FOREVER. There is no way he is ready for such a huge responsibility.

Loved the chapter though 1337 haxs and all. I just really hope Pain dies and Kakashi somehow comes back.

Even if Kakashi is dead (And Tsunade is most liking going to kick it soon), there's still Gai. Actually, where the heck are he and his team? They showed up at he village gate and then vanished.

Buicovo

January 16th, 2009, 12:09 PM

I'm hoping the new jutsu isn't a throwable Rasenshuriken, if only because when have we ever seen a shuriken or any other thrown attack work in Naruto? Its like a joke when someone throws something an opponent.

I think its very likely that its a throwable Rasenshuriken and most plausable, however I'd just like it to be something completely new...Maybe another one of the 4ths jutsus...

Great chapter though I for one want to see Naruto beat the crap out of Pain, regardless of how assisted Naruto is and how handicapped Pain is and I think he should do it as well.

As much as I'd like to think Kakashi's chakra is just so low that Naruto can't detect it, I would think with Natural energy he would be able to detect any amount of chakra no matter how minuscule. Either way, I'm not going to be convinced Kakashi is dead until we see his body being put into the ground...

The title of Hokage is given to the strongest ninja in the village if they accept it. Naruto is now easily the strongest ninja in Konoha. According to the frogs, he's surpassed Minato and Jiraya, which would make him one of the strongest ninja ever. Pain may be fighting with a handicap right now, but did you see Naruto just pwn three summons and two Pains without breaking a sweat? He frickin' STOPPED the rhino summon and THREW it! And TWO giant rasengans?! Naruto is on a whole new level of ninja, deffinately Kage level.

Now, I don't see Naruto becoming Hokage this early. I do see him being offered the title and turning it down for the time being. I am nearly positive Naruto knows he's not ready, but he almost is. Jiraya's death really did a number on his immaturity, he's starting to understand that he's the best now, especially with his new powers. He grew up really fast in a short timespan.

P.S. Naruto lols at Sakura's "Super Stregnth". XD

I don't think it's strongest, just best. I'd say the Gai is stronger if not at least even to Kakashi, and yet both Tsunade and Jiriya agreed that Kakashi was/is the ideal candidate for the next hokage. Naruto may be the strongest Ninja in the leaf now, but he isn't the best.

The reason Kakashi would be a pick for Hokage after Tsunade is because of his personality and skill combined. While Gai's very strong and a great ninja, his personality is deffinately not one that could be accepted by Konoha as their leader. Also, Kakashi said himself after Naruto used Rasenshuriken on Kakuzu that Naruto had surpassed him. Plus, like I said before, the frogs have stated that he has surpassed Jiraya and Minato, both of which were Kage material. (Jiraya turned down the offer and Minato WAS the strongest Hokage) In terms of skill as a ninja, Naruto would be the obvious choice if Tsunande was to die, even if Kakashi lives.

Naruto has jumped from Genin to Sennin in one fell swoop, because (according to Fukasaku) he has mastered the Sage Arts. Naruto has one element under his belt (maybe more, who knows) and Sage/Nature Chakra. He knows multiple high-class jutsu and has a nearly unlimited chakra reserve, discluding Kyuubi's chakra. He's incredibly fast, strong, and skilled. I don't know what more you want out of a ninja. It's obvious at this point that Naruto is the most powerful ninja in Konoha, we just saw him pwn face without even getting his clothes dirty. If Tsunade did die, Naruto would undoubtedly be a candidate for Hokage.

I'd also like to add that people have been saying that because the frogs are there, somehow Naruto is not as strong. Did he not just decimate three of Pain's summons in a matter of seconds and leave the frogs clean up duty? IMO, the frogs are there to make sure Pain doesn't resort to any drastic measures with all his summons, Naruto appears to be handling things on his own quite well enough. The only frogs that have done anything combat-wise are Fukasaku and Ma, who used the Frog Song to stun the two summons for a bit. If you want to call evening the odds "being weak", then sure, I guess Naruto was a bit of a weakling there for a bit.

Mc Pain

January 16th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Naruto is not weak... He is EXTREMELY powerful. But Pain is still stronger.

Listen up, yo, Kakashi couldn't even scratch one Pain body on his own... So that Naruto can't defeat all 6 of them is understandable.

Pain lost a lot of chakra, so he is weaker now. Also, he is not allowed to kill Naruto, so he is holding back a little. And Naruto got info on him from Katsuyu, aswell as those frogs assisting him that he didn't even summon himself...

This is like Sasuke vs. Itachi... The weaker maincharacter fights a more powerful character, but that character got conditions against him, so the weaker maincharacter wins.

January 16th, 2009, 06:01 PM

Of course when you fight a new enemy it takes time to get used to his attacks. GR 5 second interval between his attacks took a lot out of Kakashi. He used Chidori/missed, used Chidori Dog/missed, used Lightning Clone left him at half chakra level, used MS twice just to find GR secret.

Naruto not knowing Puppet Pein's abilities jumped in and killed him. Summoned 2 clones form Rasengan attack the summons Naruto kept going to attack Fat Pein and KO him. Now Pein is weak after taking out most of Konoha, but so what Itachi gave something to Naruto and wasn't at his best according to Zetsu. Sasuke had MS and Oro and still only one because Itachi's illness finally caught up to him.

Jiraiya took out 2 out of 3 Peins using Pa and Ma to cast a Genjutsu. And so what if Naruto takes all 6 out there is still the original body and who knows how many spares.

Sasuke had MS and Oro and still only one because Itachi's illness finally caught up to him.

Actually, he didn't have the MS during that fight. Also, Itachi wanted Sasuke to win, which is why he didn't go all out, but far enough that he would push Sasuke all the way to the edge in order to rid Orochimaru from Sasuke's body.

There's still someone else who wants Hokage, and that's Danzou. I see him sweeping in and assassinating certain shinobi after all is said and done between Naruto and Pain. Unless he was blown away by the Pain Storm.

January 17th, 2009, 03:17 PM

So let me see if I got this right, after Pain, the only villians left are:

Liquid Ocelot...oops er...Kabuto/Oorochimaru
Danzo
the 2 Hidden Leaf Village elders (forgot their names)
Konan
Madara Uchiha/Tobi
Zetzu
Kisame
Sasuke's goons and possibly Sasuke.

did I get it right?

So, if Tsunade dies, then that just leaves Guy and Kakashi as prime canidates for Hokage.

If/ when either dies/retires: the only Hokage canidates are:

Shikimaru
Sasuke (if he comes back)
Sakura
Hinata
Neji
Naruto

I do not understand where this Gai being a choice for Hokage is coming from, he's not Kage material at all imo. People seem to be forgetting that the title of Hokage is supposed to belong to the most powerful ninja in the village if they choose to accept it. Everyone in Konoha (save Konohamaru :P) has been getting spanked by Pain. Naruto is the only person who's done some serious damage against Pain. As for the future Hokage list; Hinata and Sakura? Really? A) Sakura's a loooong way from Kage level. B) Hinata, Hokage? Really? No.

Until Pein and Naruto's fight is over don't make too many assumptions. As I see it now, Pein is trying his best to test Naruto's abilities and from his response was not expecting him to be nearly that powerful. Pein still has QUITE a few tricks left.

I agree completely. This fight is undoubtley going to reveal to us what Pain and Naruto are capable of, I don't want to get to frustrated with this discussion until then.

SonRyu

January 19th, 2009, 07:17 PM

This should turn out to be a great fight, but when/if Naruto can take out all of the Pein bodies, there's still Nagato himself somewhere to worry about. As I hypothesized once before though, Nagato may be plugged into some kind of chakra supplying device (which then amplifies his ability to control the bodies over great distances), and by himself is no big threat (he may have the Rinnegan, but I bet he can't utilize all of the techniques to great effect by himself). Without Nagato/Pein though (ie, when he's dead), will Akatsuki still be able to use the statue that is sealing the tailed beasts? Heck, we still need to know what Madara/Tobi's real relationship with Nagato/Pein is. Maybe Madara is the one somehow supplying Nagato with the chakra/ability to control the bodies? I don't know why he'd take orders from Madara otherwise.

maybe idk you should try to re-read my first post to see if i even mentioned sasuke in it... i mean you dont have to call people stupid you know its just a forum, did you call me stupid because i said hell? which right there makes people take the tone of my question the wrong way. idk but for future reference dont call people stupid. no one was being mean to you :)

i just dont understand why he would be thought of as a consideration, if you could explain that would be nice
