When it comes to Naruto villains, there are five that stand out the most.
Only Pain and Obito remained as the two people who could be Naruto’s greatest enemies.
Here are the reasons why Pain is Naruto’s greatest enemy:
5. Destroy the Leaf Village
The destruction of Konoha will always be Naruto’s climactic event in the eyes of many.
4. Kill Jiraiya
When Jiraiya alone penetrated the rain village to learn about and destroy the leader of the Akatsuki organization, he met his former student again.
This was a landmark action for Pain, one that made him Naruto’s immediate enemy.
3. Pain’s past
Pain, also known as Nagato, was once Jiraya’s disciple.
In particular, Pain’s past and how it shows that Konoha wasn’t always a village known for its good side was great.
2. Pain’s ability
Pain once declared himself a god and became the leader of Rain Village after the country ended its bloody civil war.
In the final battles, even Madara’s skills pale in comparison to what Pain demonstrated.
1. Leader of Akatsuki
Obito under the false name Tobi is the one behind pulling the strings for all the actions of the Akatsuki organization, but Pain is the one who orders and takes the initiative in everything.
