I watched Naruto's fight with Pain the other day, and I don't quite understand
how Naruto managed to land a Rasengan on the Deva Path in that sequence of
attacks which started with 2 Rasenshurikens.

This is what I have understood so far: Pain deflected first shuriken, then he
jumped to dodge the second one flying towards his blind spot. As he landed, he
was attacked by numerous Naruto clones, who were camouflaging as rocks with
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique), and he deflected all of them with
Shinra Tensei yet again. After that, I completely lost track of what was going
on and how he managed to land that Rasengan eventually.

Can anyone explain what happened with respect to the five-second interval and
how Naruto managed to beat Pain?

How did Naruto land the finishing Rasengan on Pain?


The answer is simple. Naruto is in Sage Mode. When you are in Sage Mode which
taught and learned by the toads, the advantages afforded include:

  * The user's physical strength, **speed** , stamina, **reflexes** , **perception** and durability dramatically increase.
  * The user's ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu become more powerful.
  * The user can harness the natural energy surrounding them, turning it into an extension of their body, which increases the reach of their attacks.
  * The user gains the ability to sense Chakra around them.

As I emphasized the speed and reflexes, Naruto can react in a split seconds
and took advantage the 5 secs interval and make it work.

What happened is as follows:

  * Naruto throws first shuriken, Shinra Tensei deflects it.
  * Naruto throws second shuriken, Pain dodged.
  * Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique attempts to attack Pain with all the clones, Shinra Tensei deflects them all.
  * Naruto, taking advantage of the 5 seconds it takes him to recharge, flings himself with the aid of 2 clones, and lands the Rasengan straight at him before he can use Shinra Tensei again.

Still not clear? Tell me in the comments :)

After coming out of Pain's Chibaku Tensei, Naruto first snatched a chakra
receiver from the Deva Path, and stabbed himself momentarily to track down
Nagato's location using his Sage Mode.

He then created two shadow clones and then a Rasenshuriken using these clones.
He also used two smoke bombs for deception. He had already used this trick
previously during the battle, when he had first sent a real Rasenshuriken and
then his real self disguised as a Rasenshuriken.

Pain began anticipating the same thing to happen. As expected, Naruto sent the
first real Rasenshuriken, which pain promptly deflected using Shinra Tensei.
However, this time, the second Rasenshuriken was a real one, hidden under the
first one as a shadow shuriken. Naruto's two shadow clones also emerged, but
Pain was prepared having already seen this trick before (or so he thought). He
stabbed the two clones with his chakra receivers, and also dodged the
Rasenshuriken.

The purpose of this part of Naruto's plan was to force Pain to use Shinra
Tensei, to take advantage of the five second interval during the next part of
his plan. It is now revealed that Naruto had previously used the Mass Shadow
Clone technique, and then transformed those multiple clones into boulders.
Naruto undoes the transformation, aiming to attack Pain with these shadow
clones.

However, this doesn't work as expected since Pain's ability returns at the
last moment, and he uses the Shinra Tensei to push away Naruto's shadow clones
before he can land a direct hit on Pain.

Now Naruto switches to a backup plan, wherein he uses the mass shadow clones
as a support for the main body to oppose Shinra Tensei's push. Having used the
Shinra Tensei, Pain's five second interval kicks in _again_ , during which
Naruto finally lands a direct hit on Pain using his Rasengan. Having defeated
the Deva Path, he proceeds to meet the original Nagato.
