To try and catch it during this window, Kakashi sneaks up on the Deva Path. He is repelled, but Chōza and Chōji attack when its vulnerable. Their attack is too late and they are repelled, but in doing so they are able to restrain the Deva Path. Kakashi tries to finish it off but the Asura Path uses itself as a shield.

Kakashi finds his father, Sakumo, waiting for him after death. Sakumo asks him to tell him about his life.

The new Animal Path attacks their location, which Inoichi recognises as the dead woman he saw in the memories of the Amegakure prisoner. He and Shizune retreat to figure things out, leaving the fight with the Animal Path to others.

Naruto refuses to give up on using Sage Mode, trying to find some alternative to fusing with Fukasakuso that he doesn't let Jiraiya down. Meanwhile, Konohamaru watches the Naraka Path's interrogation of two Konoha ninja about Naruto's location. He tries to leave unnoticed to avoid being captured, but accidentally draws attention to himself. Ebisu steps in in order to buy time for Konohamaru to escape and is quickly defeated.

Soon after he leaves, the Deva Path confronts Tsunade.
Chapter 428

The Naraka Path captures Konohamaru. It asks where Naruto is but he refuses to answer, instead taking the Pain's preoccupation with his interrogation to hit him with the Rasengan that Naruto taught him. Meanwhile, Tsunade recognises the Deva Path as Yahiko. It tries to convince her that protecting Naruto is only preventing world peace. She does not tell him where he is, but adds that Naruto doesn't need protection. Elsewhere, Inoichi and Shizune theorise that a master Pain conciseness is controlling the Six Paths of Pain from some remote location. Before they can go looking for whoever this is, Shizune is captured by the Human Path. It reads her mind and learns that Naruto is at Mount Myōboku.
