yes because he is much nicer and (SPOILER) agrees to let him live
I believe Pain is past Naruto in training because I do believe he is older then Naruto. Plus Pain took down Naruto before the nine tails cloak kicked in. He was also trianed by Jiriah so I would say Pain is much better than Naruto.
Naruto is definitely better than Neji. Naruto defeated Pain, the akatsuki leader which proved that at this time he is the most powerful in the leaf village.
Naruto Fghts Pain At 162?
naruto, obviously
Naruto kills the final pain in chapter 443
Naruto Shippuden Episode 114
pain and naruto have the the same teacher jiraya
If you are referring to family relations, no. Naruto and Pain are not related.
Yes, he does get defeated by Naruto.
well pain attacks the leaf on episode 157, but naruto actually naruto fights the real pain in episodes 162-166
When Naruto Shippuden brings in all the flashbacks and fillers, so after Naruto defeats Pain, but it gets better again once the Fourth Great Ninja War starts.
Naruto Shippuuden does not have "Seasons". It has Sagas (like all Anime series') The Saga in which Naruto defeats Pain is called the "Pain Invasion Arc".
