Another Moon

== Summary ==
Naruto wakes up and is told by Shikamaru that Sasuke is nowhere to be found, and that the Anbu they were fighting retreated. While Tsunade updates Minato on the shinobi Sasuke attacked when he left the village, Shizune arrives with news someone infiltrated the village. Pain arrives and talks to Tsunade, vowing to cause the village pain. Pain attacks the village with a gigantic Chibaku Tensei. Naruto and the others arrive in the morning to find a crater where Konohagakure was supposed to be, with the Chibaku Tensei floating above it. Neji confirms the chakra of the villagers is inside it with his Byakugan. Naruto meets up with Sakura, who was away on a mission and is also puzzled by what happened. Sakura begins healing Naruto's injuries, and Naruto uses the time to mould senjutsu chakra. Inside the Chibaku Tensei, Minato discovers he can't teleport outside. The Chibaku Tensei begins compacting, and Shikaku and Inoichi begin coordinating a strategy to protect the village from being crushed. Minato asks Hiruzen, Tsunade, and Kushina to help him set up a Four Red Yang Formation to counter the attack and buy some time. The Six Paths of Pain confront Naruto, who releases a shadow clone, and enters Sage Mode. Naruto manages to take out five of the six paths, but is pinned down by the Deva Path. Hinata then comes to his rescue, but is struck down by Pain, causing Naruto to transform into the six-tails form of Nine-Tails. However, Pain traps Naruto inside another Chibaku Tensei.

* The fight between Naruto and the Deva Path far more closely resembles chapter 438 of the manga than episode 167, which was mostly anime original and had many of the scenes from the manga altered.
