Naruto solo'ed Pain. Remove anyone of those supporting roles, and Pain still loses. Remove Naruto and Pain wins. I get that you're about the we're all a team thing. But that doesn't change the fact that without Naruto that fight was lost. Utterly lost. He's directly responisble for the summoning of the three Giant Toads. That's a technique that he used. and Kurama can't get credit for deciding not to die, as long as he's in Naruto he counts as a part of Naruto. Their interests are too tightly aligned. I know Kishi says his greatest power is Friend no Jutsu. But it's not, it's probably his ability to just learn world crushing techniques and spam them.
