A 3 year time skip occurred and Naruto didn’t even know what a chakra nature or kekkie genki was! Kakashi taught him the steps to create his own jutsu in a week and to master wind release and the wind chakra nature, Fukasaku taught him Sage mode in less than a week. Killer bee helped him control the 9 tails chakra and chakra arms and bijuu bombs in less than a week. Naruto is actually quick at learning because he’s a hands on learner and not a (by the books) learner. I’m a shocked that his progress was that low during all that time with Jiraiya. While it’s true Jiraiya was a father figure. He wasn’t a good teacher in general. Naruto learned almost nothing. Jiraiya by his own admission said Minato trained himself due to being a genius and prodigy. Nagato having the rinnegan gave him all five chakra natures and learned faster. And Jiraiya didn’t teach konan origami jutsu that’s a skill she honed on her own.

Naruto Series
Pains only goal was to capture Naruto and not to kill him. If pain had fought with the intent to kill and not held back the fight would’ve ended a lot sooner. Pain was also nerfed during the fight. And obviously, we all know Naruto had plot armor which every MC has but this is a special case were Naruto had 10 advantages.
Before Pain started his fight with Naruto, Pain had literally fought everyone in the leaf village and defeated them. The Deva Path destroyed the entire village with one Jutsu to the point it was an unrecognizable wasteland.
The Almighty Push was so Destructive, the deva path lost of a lot of chakra and had to recover which gave Naruto a huge advantage.
Naruto had intel on all Pains abilities. Which heavily assisted him. Unlike those before him that died for this intel.
Naruto also had the support from the Toad Sages and all of Mount Myobuku. Gamabunta, Gamaken and Gamahiro being the most prominent. Each of these guys being strong enough to partially fight off a tailed beast.
Naruto also got help from Hinata which may not seem like a big deal but after watching her “die” by pain. Naruto completely lost it and let the 9 tails take over his mind. Kurama fighting for him also helped him in the long run. Pain managed to fight off the 9 tails in V2 state and all the way up to the 8th tail. Pain also tanked a bijuu bomb at point blank with minimal damage. This bijuu bomb had enough potency to nuke a large portion of the village.
Pain used planetary devastation which in size scale is also another attack that could’ve totaled the village. Nagato could have even made this on an even larger scale to truly seal the 9 tails.
Naruto also got help from the 4th hokage. And his father Minato namikaze. Who repaired his seal and put him back in the fight. After using almost all of his power Pain was very weakened at this point. But still managed to fight off another use of Sage mode from Naruto.
Nagato with pretty much no chakra left decided to hear Naruto out and told him his story and related to him. Pain entrusted the future to him and sacrificed his life to revive everyone in konoha he had just killed. Konan even stated if he had enough chakra he could have survived the jutsu. Which speaks for how much life force an Uzumaki actually has.
So just how powerful was Nagato?
Just Updated
Nagato is the 7th Pain and is the strongest, if his body had not been crippled he would’ve been unstoppable and later on we see just how powerful Edo Nagato is.
When Edo Nagato was revived he almost defeated Killer Bee and KCM Naruto instantly. It took the efforts of 3+ kage level ninja, Itachi, Naruto and Bee just to defeat a version of Nagato with no mobility and not in control of his body. Nagato had massive chakra reserves, not even Obito or Sasuke could handle the power of two rinnegan. Nagato is also the only wielder of the rinnegan shown who can utilize all the abilities simultaneously. Which means a Healthy Full Power Nagato would be incredibly powerful. I would argue Nagato is Top 20 in the series. Even amongst the otsutsuki clan and into the Boruto era. Especially considering we never seen him at full potential.

Why didn't Obito use his Wood Release: Cutting Jutsu through his own body during the Fourth Shinobi World War? He used it through the Ten-Tails, and he also grabbed Naruto with some branches on his own, but I think that was it. Without the Ten-Tails, he didn't do some of the crazy things he did when he slaughtered the Bloody Mist ninja.
I'm sure Kishimoto needed him nerfed, but what could be the in-universe reason?

The Sage of Six Paths traveled to a land called Redaku in search for finding a cure for his chakra illness. A meteorite struck the earth and hagoromo split it in half, he was showered with silver particles that not only instantly cured his illness but amplified and doubled his strength. His chakra also expanded to a higher limit. These particles were named Ultra Particles. Naruto suffered from the same illness and sought answers, he managed to receive half of these particles which cured his illness but didn’t give him a chakra boost like hagoromo. The Sage wanted to stop those who would come after this grand power and hid Both half’s of these ultra particles in a metaphorical way, he placed one half in "the sky that fell to the earth," and the other half in "the star that never strays." On top of already being the 10 Tails Jinchuriki, Hagoromo got a chakra amp that doubled his chakra volume. Hagoromo in his Prime is more powerful than we could’ve ever imagined because of these Polar Particles.
Did you know Hagoromo has another Powerful Ninja Tool? The Sage of Six Paths created a Legendary Weapon called the Shuigu in the Land of Redaku. It’s a golden staff with a ring at the end. This weapon allows the user to draw upon INFINITE WATER…yes Unlimited Water. And the staff is indestructible. This tool can make an entire country produce rain fall, create rivers or produce flash floods. It also has no determined limit. The water can shape whatever the wielder wants, even ocean serpents. It’s strength depends on the wielder so it’s full power is unknown. The Sage of Six Paths created this weapon just to casually help a country that had no water during his travels. He is incredibly Powerful. This is from the Story of Kakashi the Six Hokage and the Failed Prince Novel
The anime adapted these novels almost a year after both of them released. These are the Massive Changes the anime studio did which are not canon to the manga or novels.
#1 Obito didn’t kill Izumi, I repeat Obito did not kill Izumi. Itachi that put her in tsukuyomi they lived an entire peaceful lifetime together in a genjutsu and she passed away and thanked him. Itachi figured if he can kill the girl he loved first then there was no turning back and he would proceed with everyone else. He eventually got to his family last. After he dealt with certain members of the police force.
#2 Fugaku never had the mangekyo sharingan I repeat fugaku never had the ms. It’s not canon to the manga or novels. Though we see it in the anime, even the design is in Boruto (anime) but it’s not canon. The MS was not apart of his plans in the novels
#3 Itachi didn’t kill a single innocent child or women. Not because of morality but because Obito suggested he deal with them first because kamui would be fast enough to prevent the screams. (as terrible as that sounds). Itachi only killed ninjas, the police force and his parents. While Obito dealt with ninja, police force, men, women and children. (P.S Which is probably why he has so many sharingan eyes)
#4 Shisui was poisoned by an aburame clan member named sagaru who used a mosquito that had the poison of a scorpion/spider. Which is Just an analogy of how subtle yet strong the poison was, shisui was so paralyzed he couldn’t even physically move and danzo just casually walked up to him and took his eye. Shisui shook the poison off a bit and used body flicker slightly before he could get the second eye. It wasn’t as big of an L as it seemed. Danzo and sagaru had been spying on shisui and planning this for quite some time

Kakashi The Six Hokage and the Failed Prince Novel
Kakashi is a master of all five chakra natures and proclaimed he is significantly more powerful than he was during the 4th great ninja war with one sharingan. Kakashi continued to train. His Taijutsu is so good he knocked out base rock Lee in pure Taijutsu and could predict his movements without the sharingan. After He had lost the Sharingan he couldn’t use Lightning Blade anymore but had invented many more powerful jutsu to replace it. And after losing the Sharingan his chakra reserves had “grown by a magnitude”. Kakashi is strong enough to make an earth style wall large enough to encircle an entire village and hold it for 2 days which requires enormous amount of chakra. The earth style mud wall is so powerful kakashi can crystallize it to better its defense. Kakashi also invented a Jutsu called Purple lightning which is a replacement for the Lightning Blade. He also invented a Fire Style Mist Jutsu that shoots a fire phoenix bird that moves at Light Speed. Which is a jutsu strong enough to rival a tool invented by the Sage of six paths. Kakashi is actually way more powerful after losing his sharingan eye.
People assume Sasuke was stronger in part 1 because Naruto lost the fight but in reality Naruto not holding back would beat Sasuke every time. Let me explain
#1 Sasuke got lucky Naruto didn’t summon gamabunta. Let’s be honest Gamabunta was strong enough to fight a tailed beast. What would Sasuke have done?
#2 Sasuke got lucky Naruto scratched his headband instead of delivering the final hit. Naruto made Sasuke a bet. Naruto could’ve attacked anywhere on Sasuke’s body and won the fight
