Which Episode Shows Naruto Die And Then Get Revived?

Okay, let me sort through the fuzzy bits with you: I’m pretty sure there’s no single episode where Naruto is killed and then resurrected like a one-off miracle. What gets mixed up a lot is the Pain arc in 'Naruto Shippuden'. Naruto fights Pain in the village, takes massive hits, and there’s a powerful scene where Nagato (Pain) ultimately sacrifices himself to bring back everyone he’d killed. That mass revival happens in episode 175, titled 'Hero of the Hidden Leaf', and a lot of people misremember Naruto as being the one revived because he’s central to the whole emotional climax.

Another thing people confuse: Naruto is knocked out, buried under rubble, and appears motionless during several fights — those moments look death-like in the animation. Jiraiya’s death (episode 133, 'The Tale of Jiraiya the Gallant') is also burned into people’s memories, so memories jumble. If you’re seeing a clip where Naruto literally dies and comes back, it might be an edited AMV, a filler episode gag, or a non-canon OVA. If you tell me whether the scene had Hinata confessing, or Nagato apologizing, or huge black chakra, I can narrow it to the exact episode and timestamp.

Sometimes my brain mixes scenes too, so I totally get the question — but here's the clearest thing I can give: Naruto never actually dies permanently in the canon series. Fans often conflate a few intense moments where he’s knocked out, appears clinically dead, or large-scale resurrections happen around him. The biggest one people point to is the Pain arc in 'Naruto Shippuden' (roughly episodes in the 160s–170s). During that arc Naruto takes huge damage, Hinata throws herself in front of him, and Nagato (Pain) does something huge: he sacrifices himself to revive all the villagers he killed. If you’re thinking of someone coming back to life en masse, check episode 175 in 'Naruto Shippuden' where Nagato uses the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to reverse the damage.

If your memory is of a moment where Naruto seemed to die and then was miraculously healed, that’s probably what you saw — not Naruto literally being revived by someone, but the town being brought back and Naruto getting up after a brutal fight. There are other heavy scenes too (Jiraiya’s death in episode 133 of 'Naruto Shippuden' is famously emotional), and later near-death events in the Fourth Great Ninja War, but none are a canonical permanent death-and-resurrection for Naruto himself. If you want, tell me whether you remember Hinata showing up, or a white-eyed bloke monologuing, and I can pin the exact episode scene better.

My quick take: Naruto doesn’t actually die and get revived in the official storyline. The likely scene you’re thinking of is the Pain arc in 'Naruto Shippuden' — Naruto gets brutally hurt and the emotional high point is Nagato bringing back the villagers (check episode 175). People often conflate that with Naruto being resurrected because it’s such a dramatic turnaround. There are other near-death moments later in the Fourth Great Ninja War and plenty of powerful resuscitation-type scenes (and some fan edits), so if the clip looked like a straight-up death-and-return it might not be pure canon. If you want, give me one or two visual details (Hinata, big orange chakra, or a raining red sky) and I’ll zero in on it.
