A Saiyan only becomes a Super Saiyan after accumulating enough S-Cells from experiencing intense sadness or pain in Dragon Ball Z. While Naruto certainly has a lot , immense power derived from pain is a surprisingly common trope in anime. Meanwhile, the Uchiha’s Sharingan is only awakened when the wielder experiences intense pain or sadness. Jūgo also struggles with intense power driven by rage and pain, making him incredibly dangerous without Sasuke using his Sharingan to hold him back. The show’s titular character both willingly and unwillingly unleashes the Nine-Tails’ powerful chakra and violent whenever he’s backed into a corner, as he was when facing Orochimaru.
While the Six Paths of Pain is a dark ability, it’s not the only pain-oriented jutsu in Naruto.
