During Pain's invasion of Konoha he confronts several ninja inquiring about the location of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, eventually leading his Поиск to Iruka. Iruka refuses to reveal anything and is about to be killed. Какаси intervenes, telling Iruka to leave with the injured ninja. Какаси then confronts Pain's Deva Path, but despite his methodical tactics, Pain proves too powerful for him to land a single blow due to his body's special abilities. He quickly summarizes the bodies and their strengths and weaknesses. Какаси is later joined by Choji and Choza Akimichi. After a long battle, Choza is defeated and Какаси is left with barely any chakra. Какаси orders Choji to go and tell Tsunade about Pain's powers, and activates his Mangekyo Sharingan to save Choji from a fatal blow, knowing fully well that using it in his current state would very likely lead to his death. As he feels himself losing consciousness, he begins thinking about his dearest Друзья Obito and Rin. Какаси then finds himself in an area surrounded by darkness approaching a campfire with his father waiting for him, and asked him about himself. Meanwhile, Какаси and the Asura Path are both rendered incapacitated. Later, when Choji arrived at Tsunade's location, she ordered Choji to get Какаси and his father to a hospital, making no Комментарий when Choji asked if Какаси was okay, hinting that he is in a critical state if not already dead.
