When — Does Pain Fight Naruto

Hinata intervenes to protect Naruto, leading to a heartbreaking confession.

After regaining control (thanks to the spirit of his father, Minato), Naruto defeats the final body of Pain. He then seeks out the real controller, Nagato. Instead of killing him, Naruto engages in a philosophical debate about peace and pain, ultimately convincing Nagato to sacrifice himself to revive the villagers he killed.

It explores the "Cycle of Hatred" and whether true peace is possible.

The fight is roughly 7 episodes long and follows these major stages: Pain's Assault (Arc) | Narutopedia | Fandom

Naruto appears in a custom red cloak, carrying a giant scroll, and standing atop Gamabunta.
