Danger! Sage Mode Limit Reached

Danger! Sage Mode limit reached pushes Naruto's senjutsu to its breaking point against the Paths. The episode is the cost of the power: Sage Mode's time limit bleeding away, the clone-relay system that feeds Naruto natural energy under attack, the boy who arrived like a hero suddenly racing his own depleting strength. Pain exploits the weakness ruthlessly. It's the canon arc's tension crank, Naruto's hard-won power revealed to have a clock, the fight against the six Paths complicated by the very art that gave him a chance.
