Great plot exposition in Naruto this week (or should I say last week). The chaos of the previous chapter has been resolved, and there will be no more internal contest over who will control Naruto; his dad, the 4th, restores his seal, allowing him to suppress the burgeoning nine-tails. We are also informed that Pain/Nagato (not surprisingly) is one of Madara Uchiha's (mask guy's) pawns, and - in all likelihood - the real and last villain of this series - or at least part II of this series - will be Madara, who Sasuke will hopefully battle and take out in time.
So...Sage Naruto returns at the chapter's conclusion, and it looks like the end is nigh for Pain. Nagato's on his last leg and the chances that he will be able to escape from - much less win against - a restored, resolved Naruto is very unlikely. While this battle has been great (undoubtedly one of the best in the series), it's time to be done with Pain and to move the plot forward. There still is a good chunk of Akatsuki to take out, and therefore more chances for other characters to have their moment of glory; we've seen what Naruto can do, now let's see what the rest of (former) Konoha can do.
