Well, my favorite Naruto arc without a doubt was the Pain arc. For starters we have a former student that Jiraiya taught that is Nagato, and on the other side we have the current disciple Naruto. It all starts with Nagato's family who, because of the consequences of the war, ended up being one of the victims of the Fives. Great Countries. In this arc, his past is shown, his disappointments, pain and suffering, anguish for not being able to do anything to save his family... He felt weak and powerless. Which is quite interesting, understanding about the motivations and perspective of this character and what brought him to that point.

Later in the story he meets Konan and Yahiko, his great friends who shared the same suffering that the war caused. As the war progressed, it turned out that they had their destined crusaders with who would be their Sensei who would teach them taijutsu and ninjutsu. Skipping that point, let's talk about the fight between Jiraiya and Pain. Jiraiya didn't have any advantage and he knew that, there was an enemy that could absorb ninjutsu, another that made summons very difficult to deal with... But the most incredible thing of all is that even in the pressure of that fight he realized the connection between the "Pains ” And that, was what allowed him to defeat one of them. Fortunately... Not without his death. In the end, Jiraiya remembers that the once-child of the prophecy he thought was Nagato was actually Naruto. With that, he passes his hopes to his student, recording the message that spoke about Pain's power, giving the knowledge that Naruto would need to defeat this enemy giving the last breaths of his life.

I'm not going to talk about Naruto and Pain's fight, but I'd rather talk about the ending. Naruto after talking to Nagato and understanding each other's point of view, somehow manage to understand the "pain" that each one had. Naruto for being the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the one that almost caused the destruction of the village, and took the lives of many people. That's why all the villagers hated him. Already Nagato lost all his family, and his precious friend Yahiko. With that discussion over, Nagato decides to use one last jutsu that revives the people who were killed in the village's destruction. For soon after, dying due to being too weakened. Now, for the most beautiful scene of all, surely it was when Naruto was received with applause, recognition and respect from everyone in the village, even those villagers who once despised him... Now they treat him with respect and admiration. Naruto at that moment, must have felt that everything he's been through was worth every second if it were to get to that moment. It was perfect! By far the best arc in history.
