Natsu

Madara and Pein: the Ultimate Challenge

Pein. Pein, a very mysterious and powerful shinobi, is a very unique villain in the Naruto series. Pein isn't commiting villianous deeds for selfish reasons. He believes that what he is doing is right. It's important to understand why.

The once believed to be Akatsuki Leader, for most of his life, was caught between what happens when governments of the shinobi world clash, war. His experiences have involved grisly tales of battle and and death (You have no idea what happened to use after you left, Jiraiya-sensi~Konan) It is for this reason that Pein believes that the only way to prevent war is by destroying the many villages that make up the Naruto world and instilling fear in the few that remain.

Pein has made himself a sworn enemy of Naruto because he killed Jiraiya. The clash that these two will have will not only be a physical fight but a war of words as well. Pein believes that, like Zabuza, he has risen above feeling any means of emotion. Ofcourse, Naruto will put his words to the test.

Before I further explain how Pein will play a role in giving Naruto a chance to rewrite the way of the shinobi, Madara's role in the plot must be understood.

Ah, the great manipulator Madara Uchiha. Like Pein, Madara has experienced a past of warfare except he encourages this eact. That's Madara's underlying goal now other than to unlock the power of the Sharingan. He wants to the shinobi world to break out into war again and intends on using Akatsuki and Sasuke as his tools in order to help him accomplish that goal.

Originally, he was willling to sacrifice Uchihas just so that the Senju did not get more power than himself. When they did, Madara bitterly made it his goal to destroy Konoha, a goal that he has dreamt of accomplishing for almost one hundred years.

It's obvious that when Sasuke lauchnes his attack to destroy Konoha, one of two things will happen:

a. He will turn against Madara
b. He will learn some unrevealed truth that will make him realize that Madara is the true enemy.

When this happens, Naruto will be there to join forces with Sasuke and together, even if not right then and there, they will both have the same goal in mind. That is to overcome the threat that is Madara Uchiha.

-------------

Imagine when the shinobi world hears that Naruto defeated Pein, saved Sasuke, and participated in defeating Madara Uchiha. They will rever him as a hero. How do I know this? Sasuke received an incredible amount of recognition after defeating Orochimaru.

With the world at his whim, Naruto will remember what war did to Pein, Danzou's harsh role, Itachi's sacrifice, how Sasuke was a victim of Danzou's plan, and so much more. It is then that he will consider that perhaps the way of hte shinobi should be rethought so that these horrific events can never happen again.
