Synopsis
As Hinata is being healed by Sakura, Naruto defeats the Deva Path with a Rasengan. Naruto pulls out the chakra receivers out of the Deva Path and then he heads over to the real Pain. Team Guy feels as though they should go with Naruto but he doesn't want any back up. As Naruto approaches Nagato and Konan, Nagato sends a rod into Naruto only for Naruto to use the fox's chakra to disturb Pain's chakra. Naruto then asks why Nagato and Konan are a part of the Akatsuki, and he ends with telling Naruto that they have to go back into his past.
