Just realized that Sasuke and Pain never met, and honestly that’s such a missed opportunity. I feel like an interaction between the two would have been very interesting.

I know Pain is supposed to be a “Naruto” who lost his way, but to me, I feel like he’s actually so similar to Sasuke. For one, they both wanted revenge on the Leaf village, they both go screaming out to Naruto that he can’t understand their “pain”. And out of everyone on the show, Sasuke and Pain share the most similar ideology and plans. Sasuke wanted to unify the world through fear using himself as the target. And Nagato wanted to unify the world through Pain. At their core, they’re actually very alike.
Now I want this solely because I want to see who would out emo the other.
Yeah this would’ve been awesome. The most we got was Pain mentioning Sasuke’s name to Naruto.
Would’ve been funny to see Sasuke show up in Konoha after the giant Shinra Tensei instead of Naruto.
Pain: “All Mighty PUSH!”
Sasuke: “Universal Pull!”
Pain: O_o
I think they really avoided it rather than ruin the moment (if they can’t write the scene perfectly)
The ramen guy is just Naruto if he never became a ninja
There are so many what ifs that this didnt even cross my mind!
Sasuke would have gone under Pain’s wing, or tried to recruit him, which wouldn’t work lol he’d get blasted. And the Sasuke Retrieval Overarc would end right there.
Maybe he would share his chakra reserves.
Too much powerrrrr
Like how jiraiya and madara never met????
I doubt it would be that interesting considering at the time those two were ‘if you don’t have anything for me I don’t care’ type of characters so I’d assume they would barely acknowledge each other probably just “so that’s itachis brother” for Pein and “so that’s the rinnegan” for sasuke and then both would just carry on about their business let’s not forget that sasuke has no regard for authority and wouldn’t won’t to appear like his is under anyones command….at least it’s what I feel would happen
Probably not that interesting
Reanimation Itachi interacted with both of them (Nagato, not Yahiko) within the span of, I dunno, minutes. A narrow miss, really.
Such a wasted opportunity indeed. I agree OP.
YES. Atleast Sasuke would have known how to use his rinnegan properly.
In a perfect world the whole Naruto/Sasuke drama would have been resolved early on in Shippuden and they + Sakura would have teamed up to take down Pain, not Kaguya.
It would have been a nice way to end the series.
Too much emo
My head cannon is them walking opposite directions, watching each other as they pass sizing each other up, nothing said between them. Maybe a “that guy’s strong ‘ on another level” to a third party or something.
