Konan could be really interesting. In some fanfictions, she might have a different backstory or motivation that affects the Naruto vs Pain fight. For example, she could be secretly trying to stop Pain from going too far in his destruction of the Leaf Village.
It's hard to say for sure. If the fanfiction focuses on Hinata's growth, she could potentially defeat Pain through her own skills and some unexpected twists. But Naruto is also likely to be a major factor, so it could be a combined effort of both of them that overcomes Pain.
In this fanfiction, Naruto might be extremely enraged seeing Hinata in danger against Pain. Hinata, on the other hand, would likely show her newfound strength and determination. Maybe she'd manage to land a few surprise attacks on Pain before Naruto fully jumps into the fray.
Well, the Naruto vs Pain fight in the original series is epic. Fanfiction allows fans to explore different scenarios and what - ifs. Maybe they want to see different character developments during that intense battle.
Maybe in the fanfiction, Naruto loses his chakra early on in the fight against Pain. But then he discovers a hidden power within himself that is not related to chakra, like a spiritual power from his Uzumaki heritage, which he uses to turn the tables on Pain.
There are many out there. A really good one might focus on the emotional reactions of Team Minato. For example, Minato might be proud of Naruto's strength and how he overcomes Pain. Kakashi could be in awe at Naruto's new techniques. Their reactions can enhance the overall viewing experience in the fanfiction.
The Konoha 12 would likely be in shock. They've seen Naruto grow, but this fight against Pain is on a whole new level. Some, like Shikamaru, would immediately start analyzing the battle strategies. Sakura might be worried sick about Naruto's safety, while Kiba could be cheering Naruto on loudly, impressed by his power.
The plot should be engaging. It could add new twists to the Naruto vs Pain battle. Maybe introduce some new jutsus or strategies that make the fight even more exciting. Also, good fanfictions in this category usually have a good balance between action and the emotional aspects of the characters.
The outcome in this fanfiction could be a draw. Naruto and Hinata would put up a great fight against Pain. Naruto would be all fired up, using his Rasengan and other ninjutsu. Hinata would be there, protecting Naruto's blind spots with her gentle fist techniques. But Pain is no pushover. His ability to control gravity and rain down destruction could keep Naruto and Hinata at bay, leading to a situation where neither side can fully defeat the other.
One of the most dramatic moments could be when Naruto first takes a really hard hit from Pain. The Konoha 12 would gasp in horror, and Sakura might even try to run out to help. Another moment could be when Naruto taps into a new level of power. The expressions of shock and awe on the Konoha 12's faces would be quite something.
