Naruto Shippuden: Set 13

Naruto Shippuden Uncut Set 13

Naruto and his friends successfully decipher the code Jiraiya left behind, but it's not enough to solve the mystery of Pain. For Naruto, Jiraiya's passing is more than enough to inspire him to follow Fukasaku to Mount Myoboku, where he begins his training in Sage Jutsu. But will the antsy Naruto ever be able to sit still long enough to achieve Sage Mode? Back in the Leaf Village, disaster strikes when the Six Paths of Pain attack the village, and those dearest to Naruto are thrown into the chaos of battle!

]]> These episodes cover most of the "Sennin Training" and "Konoha's Destruction" arcs, which ran at the end of season six and the beginning of season seven of Naruto Shippuden in Japan. The ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Toad Spirits finally decode Jiraiya's final message: "The true one is not among them." But how does it apply to defeating the six evil warriors known collectively as "Pain"? Naruto travels to Mount Myouboku to undergo training in the powerful Sage technique from Lord Fukasaku. Determined to avenge his beloved teacher, "Pervy Sage" Jiraiya, Naruto applies himself with unprecedented discipline, and it's incongruous to see the rambunctious ninja meditating. But while he's training, the six Pains attack the Hidden Leaf Village with unprecedented ferocity. All the shinobi, Kakashi-Sensei, and even Lady Tsunade seem powerless to stop them, although the Hidden Leaf researchers discover that the metal rods piercing the ears and noses of the Pain ninja are chakra antennae that enable them to share power and perceptions. Naruto returns from Mount Myouboku with several toad-warriors to challenge the Pains. The filmmakers crank up the action as Naruto unleashes a barrage of new jutsu in his battle with Tendou, the leader of the animated corpse-warriors the real Pain manipulates from a distance. Pain proposes to bring peace to the Ninja World through the terror of a super-weapon using the power of the multi-tailed demons, an idea Naruto rejects. But is he powerful enough to defeat Pain and his puppets when the others failed? Much of season six focused on others: Naruto is back at the center of the story where he belongs, reminding audiences just how engaging a character he really is.
