Kakashi is designed by Masashi Kishimoto as an easygoing, independent, and confident ninja who relies on his personal skill more than the skills of his teammates. Kakashi afterward goes to meet Naruto and carries him back to the village, where Naruto is embraced as the hero of the village. He receives a detailed account of Naruto’s return after his death, his fight with Pain, and his subsequent victory. Kakashi’s revival from the dead surprises many who were aware of his death. As Kakashi returns to the plane of the living, Sakumo thanks him for providing him with the peace he needed to move on to the afterlife, and they part ways. Consequently, Kakashi being one of the victims of his attack on Konoha is brought back to life. Pain decides to put his faith in Naruto’s solution of peace and ceases his attack on the village.Įntrusting Naruto to actualize his dream, Pain uses his chakra at the cost of his own life to cast an ability that brings back to life everyone that had died during his invasion. Naruto rejects Pain’s ideology toward peace and poses a better way for him to create a peaceful world. Their reunion is however cut short by a light enveloping Kakashi that signifies his revival.Īfter Naruto returns to the village, fights Pain, and defeats him, he holds a conversation with him in a bid to understand him better. As Kakashi concludes narrating his life story to his father, he tells him that he understands the choices he made when he was alive and declares he is proud to be his son. Sakumo was an exceptional ninja, but his life choices caused him to die as a disgraced ninja. Curious to know more about his son, Sakumo requests Kakashi to tell him about his life. After Kakashi dies, he goes into limbo, a plane between the living and the dead, where he finds his father Sakumo Hatake waiting for him. Does Kakashi Revive?Īlthough Kakashi dies from chakra overuse, he is revived. He successfully warps it away, giving Choji enough time to escape, but this exhausts his chakra energy and results in his death. One of Pain’s bodies notices this and fires a missile towards a fleeing Choji in an attempt to stop him, forcing Kakashi to use his Rasengan again to warp the missile away from intercepting Choji. When Choji regains consciousness, Kakashi sends him to deliver an urgent message to the village leader after having deciphered Pain’s intricate abilities. However, Kakashi deceives him by playing dead, as he is able to use his visual ability of Rasengan to warp the nail away just before it reaches him.

Perceiving that Kakashi is too dangerous to be left alive, he uses a nail as a projectile to kill Kakashi and leaves. This changes the tide of the fight and Kakashi begins to struggle, but their clash attracts attention and Kakashi receives reinforcements from Choji and Choza, his fellow ninjas.Ĭhoji and Choza subdue the Deva Path’s reinforcement, leaving him alone to fight the three, but Deva Path turns the tables on them, effectively defeating Kakashi’s reinforcement and trapping Kakashi in a pile of rubble. Kakashi eventually tracks one of these bodies named Deva Path and corners him with the intent to incapacitate him, but Pain realizes he is a dangerous opponent and redirects another one of his bodies to back up Deva Path. Kakashi’s perceptive nature enables him to pick up on this, and he decides to track the bodies gathering intelligence. Through this, he assigns the different bodies to different tasks, with some drawing attention to themselves by engaging in combat while others secretly gather intelligence on the whereabouts of Naruto. One of Pain’s abilities is distributing his unique abilities into six different bodies that all share the same chakra and vision through a visual ability named Rinnegan.

During one of these encounters, Kakashi and Pain meet and a fight inevitably ensues, which leads to Kakashi’s death. Using his vast abilities, Pain interrogates any villager he encounters by employing torture to coerce them to reveal the location of Naruto. Kakashi and everyone in the village come to Naruto’s aid as Pain destroys the village in search of Naruto.
