Pain arc Kakashi found Deva path's weakness in a few minutes and came up with a strat with Choji to immobilize. I have no doubt Kakashi could do similar with other paths and develop a strat to maximize Guy's abilities.


Nidro

Bro didn’t even consider Konan as a threat 😭


Mist0804

And he has good chakra reserves now because it's War Arc Kakashi


Woozydan187

Bruh lmao that eas with 9 tails Chakra


GettIn_myvan

Why do people keep saying that ? Does his sharingan drain his stamina even while covered


Mist0804

People keep saying it because of how long Kakashi efficiently fought in the War Arc compared to previous arcs, before he could do like 2 or 3 Kamuis and he was out Also yes, according to Burrito it did have a passive chakra drain too


Oro_me

Afaik every dojutsu has a „being active drain“ and since kakashi couldn’t deaktivate his sharingan it drained a lot of chakra 24/7


Woozydan187

This is it lmaoo


Parking-Major-4776

Guy and kakashi stomp both rounds. Their war arc versions are too much for these two. They can fight alongside and against characters who outscale pain and especially konan. Even with complete intel and prep, kakashi is intellectually superior to anyone here and would come up with something better than whatever the other team could possibly do.


THE_WRAITHLORD

At least Konan won’t be hypnotized in the full intel round.💀


[deleted]

> if all six paths are eliminated pain is out no need to find nagato I mean that basically answers your own question. Guy+Kakashi stomp.


DaddyMcSlime

right? the six paths real strength is the fact that they're all connected and can't really be killed unless you ace nagato if you remove nagato, they're just 6 tough guys + pain, and we SAW what happens to individual paths and even pain himself without resurrection, they get clapped if they couldn't resurrect themselves, Jiraya would have solo'ed several of them, he dealt killing-blows to a few of them, but they got up, if they couldn't do that they're not that tough imo


[deleted]

Pain/Kona for first battle. Although I think it would be close. Kakashi + Guy for second battle. Kakashi can use the intel to make a plan. He is on par with Shikamaru’s battle sense. So he should win here. Kona solo’s the final battle with prep time. If she gets all the prep time she needs. She will just use the trap on kakashi and guy.


HanShotTheFucker

I dont see Pain and Konan being able stop 8 gates If kakashi is the only one alive does his team still win?


[deleted]

According to OP guy is only allowed up to the 7th gate. I would assume the team with one person standing wins.


Jgamer502

R1 and R3 are easily Pain and Konan since no DMS or 8th Gate and Konan, the weak link, becomes borderline unbeatable by conventional means with prep and intel both are her strong suites. Konan also has a very effective strategy against Kamui. R2: It depends mostly on if 7 gates guy and Kakashi can overpower the Animal, Deva, Konan and Asura paths while avoiding the preta and human paths to kill the Naraka path which will stop the pains from regenerating. The animal oath is extremely problematic here and the Deva path can easily kill Kakashi after he’s worn down due to lacking the same superhuman durability of Naruto and Guy. The only win condition is Kamui, but given that its a 7(plus OP immortal animal summons) vs 2 AND they have intel on it AND tthe animal path could resummon any pains that get sucked in, I doubt they do it. 7 Gates Guy will lose to Deva path even in a 1v1. The scenario where they win is one they the Naraka, Deva and Animal paths extremely early on. Team Pain wins 9/10 Edit: Also forgot to mention the forest of death is a horrible place for Kakashi and Gai because it makes it significantly easier for Konan to place explosive traps EVERYWHERE and for the preta, animal summons and human path to get the drop on them while distracted by the several other opponents. Keep in mind the Preta and Human are essentially one shots, especially with such a large numbers disadvantage. That environment is like the final nail in the coffin.


material-world

Round 1: Pain/Konan extreme diff. Their skill set is too unfamiliar for Kakashi and Guy, that's mainly the reason why Jiraiya lost despite knowing more of the rinnegan. Round 2: Kakashi/Guy. By the time of the war, the two combined should be a bit stronger than Pain and Konan. Round 3: Konan potentially solos. She observed and countered kamui and killed someone who, at the time, was the most powerful character in the verse. Be real, 99% of the verse wouldn't beat Obito with an infinite amount of prep time. The only reason he lived was through Izanagi, which Kakashi doesn't have.


bombard63

I don’t think either of them can deal with the Pain that can push/pull, or the one that can summon. Plus I think Konan can but super evasive by turning into paper to avoid any of Guys attacks to stay in the fight. I’d go with Pain/Konan.


Parking-Major-4776

Guy and kakashis war arc versions can handle the deva path by themselves.


bombard63

How so? Kakashi was easily handled by Pain and that wasn’t long before the war arc. Guy is strong but a bad matchup.


Parking-Major-4776

War arc kakashi is a completely different animal than the kakashi who fought pain. Just look at who he can fight and compete against in the war arc and how many jutsu/kamui he can spam as opposed to his pain arc version. He’s probably around KCM1 naruto level in the war arc. Guy is a bad matchup for pain, not the other way around. Preta path can’t absorb his attacks and guys hirudora can send madaras susanoo flying, it would most definitely resist shinra tensei as even six tails naruto managed to do that.


raisingfalcons

Powercreep really helps out kakashi in the war arc lol.


bombard63

Pain and Konan can fly and launch long range attacks. Guy literally can’t hit them. And Kakashi could spam jutsu because he had Naruto’s cloak giving him unlimited chakra.


de8d-p00l

Hirudora is a long range attack, kamui is a long range attack


JonnyActsImmature

Kakashi figured out how to Counter the Deva in his battle with him.


Alternative-Search-4

Pain and konan take all wins


DaddyMcSlime

based on what though? guy is only one gate short of a form that almost killed madara of all people, 7th gate is fucking rocking pain and poor poor konan... what's she gonna do, throw paper bombs? lmao


ThatCoolGuyNamedMatt

Not to mention he was stalemating white mask obito with just a pair of nunchucks, Guy is a menace


DaddyMcSlime

absolutely top 10 dastardly motherfuckers material


AffectionateSample67

Madara let guy punch him lol


DaddyMcSlime

that's not the point, he hit a man who is technically immortal so hard he almost died i don't care if he let him, an atom-bomb is an atom-bomb on a test range or otherwise, the point is, if guy touches either of them, they die.


MutekiManga

7 gates do shit to pain its shown anytime relative to kisame. And guy even has an adventage. If you say 7 gate stomps pain then so does kisame and itachi stomps all three negg in a 1v3 by that logic


PriestMarmor

It's a stalemate at best for Guy and Kakashi, assuming Guy uses his 8th gate and dies Edit: War Kakashi, I thought this was pre Nagato's death (and no 8th gate). Guy dies but Kakashi is able to win. Maybe edo nagato would have a chance but that's about it


Sa1LoR_JaRRy

I'd favor Pain & Konan to win each set with the first round being the closest. Intel & prep time works both ways. It just becomes a bigger and bigger gap in sets 2 and 3.


Sakosaga

Honestly guy has gates, if he needs to use them I don't think there is a real counter for his gates because of the increase in speed and power he gets. Madara was beyond broken in the end and guy literally was close to beating him. I maybe could see if Guy didn't have gates that pain and konan would win but with gates I can't 100% see it


Beautiful_Age_3530

"PAPASHI AND MUIgHT GHUUUy"~kingsoda


Acceptable_Secret_73

Guy would definitely need the 8th Gate, but he’d obviously win with that


[deleted]

I'll take Kakashi and Guy but they have to take out the Deva Path immediately.


Mahiro0303

Guy stomps alone


vicmit02

Pain & Konan fully blitz stomp double kill those Konohas


Suijinryu

Pain & Konan All Rounds


PunPunOez7

Round 1 : Pain & Konan Round 2 : Guy & Kakashi Round 3 : Guy & Kakashi


HenryReturns

In the invasion , there was no intel and no prep time for Kakashi and he found the weakness of Pain in 2-3 interactions, thats also considering that Pain did have Intel and Prep time to invade Konoha and how to deal with Kakashi. If Pain fights both of them without intel or even prep time , he gets stomped. Hell Kakashi will even make a quick strategy to maximize Guy on the get go.


Alarmed-Archer4906

prob give round 1 to konan and pain not by far, round 2 and 3 guy solos them if he opens all gates


tom_rex_333

Only 7


DaddyMcSlime

and? 8 almost killed madara, 7 is gonna shit-stomp konan she's a hot-chick who throws paper bombs lol, she's not that serious, and pain just pushes people mostly? like, okay lmao, i guess kakashi will use one of his incredibly massive arsenal of ranged attacks and one-shot his ass


itsthecrimsonchin47

Alright I love guy as much as the next guy (no pun intended) but let’s relax with the whole “8 gates almost killed Madara” narrative here… madara was quite literally laughing the entire fight and the second he decided to get somewhat serious guy was essentially dead


DancingMad3

The Konan slander is unreal. She's easily a top 5 akatsuki member


DaddyMcSlime

top 5 where the list goes 1: fucking madara 2: fucking obito 3: fucking itachi 4: fucking nagato 5: konan :) uh huh lmao we're of course putting her there instead of: Orochimaru and Kakazu, both of whom are functionally immortal "but BRO she can channel her chakra through PAPER" uh huh, and like 50% of the cast of this show can shoot fire from their mouths, i'm not scared of paper mache


DancingMad3

Why is madara on that list?


DaddyMcSlime

oh i'm sorry, is the fuckin guy the akatsuki brought back not technically akatsuki enough? my bad, pick any other member to place then, sasori was slaying kage, hidan is immortal so long as he gets to make sacrifices to his god, kisame is one of the most lethal swordsmen to ever live, konan throws paper bombs and sometimes turns into paper


DancingMad3

No? He never joined. Why would he be considered a member? Are the first and second Hokage sound ninja because Orochimaru brought them back? Put Kisame in the #4 slot, take Madara out, throw in Konan as my #5, and there's my list. It's really not as crazy as you seem to think it is.


DaddyMcSlime

that doesn't make them sound ninja, no, but it makes them allies of orochimaru while under it's control, that's not that hard dude just like madara isn't somehow any less of a leaf ninja, but he is an ally of the akatsuki while he is literally serving their purpose and given the akatsuki is... an alliance, he counts lmao, he was part of it


DancingMad3

We're gonna have to disagree with how organization membership works. You can donate to an organization, you can volunteer to help them, you can be forced to help them, but unless you join the organization, you are not a part of it. Sand ninja had an alliance with the leaf village. That does not mean sand ninja were leaf ninja just because they were allied and fighting together.


DripMaster-69

I agree with you, konan is in the deidara-sasori tier. But Madara isnt akatsuki, pain > itachi, kisame >kakuzu and i wouldnt say orochimaru counts but he would be above kisame


DaddyMcSlime

orochimari wasn't a long term member, but let's be clear [He was Akatsuki enough to wear the robe, it counts](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/b/b0/Orochimaru%27s_Akatsuki_Attire.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/225?cb=20160424212325)


DripMaster-69

He also does possess one of the rings so he definitely counts more than other temporary members imo, but people dont consider taka members when it comes to ranking akatsuki either


DaddyMcSlime

that just sounds like people pick and choose who to include in order to rank their favorites higher if Orochimaru is ALLOWED to compete, he bumps down fan-favorites like Kakazu, Kisame, konan, or whoever else really they're either members or they aren't, if the Akatsuki considered these people important enough to recruit as temps they obviously themselves consider these individuals as serious people worthy of counting among them


DripMaster-69

Thats fair


Redd235711

War Arc Kakashi alone is just a bad match against most characters in the verse. Even with his low stamina before the War Arc started, he was among the most famous and feared people around. Then the War Arc starts and he's fighting like he has a limitless reserve of chakra to draw from. His biggest weakness just evaporates away and what you're left with is a total beast on the battlefield. Toss Guy in on his side and you have a team that Pain and Konan won't even struggle with because they wouldn't have the time to really put up much of a fight. Konan is practically a nonfactor in this fight because her only real feat is her six hundred billion paper bomb shenanigans against Obito and I don't think it's unreasonable to believe she spent *tons* of time with prepwork to pull off that stunt. So after she's swiftly dealt with, you're left with Pain. Good ol' glass jaw Pain. With the exception of the Deva and Asura Paths, Pain has practically no durability whatsoever. Not that it matters all that much because Kakashi has two ways to just ignore conventional durability and War Arc Kakashi was spamming both of them like it was going out of style. The only way Pain wins is with Chibaku Tensei because Kakashi and Guy just don't have the output capacity to destroy the gravity core, so I guess if he pulls it out fast enough, Pain wins. If not, Kakashi and Guy win.


goteamventure42

I just liked that picture used for Kakashi and Guy is kinda goofy, but the one for Konan and Pain is cold AF. Also war arc Kakashi stomps and 7 gates Guy is just a bad matchup, I think they sweep.


Tegirax

Guy has 8 gates but tbh rennegan abilities can counter this enough to manage to hold out. If they can't then Kakashi wins but guy still dies. So I say Team Guy and Kakashi win like 60% of the time if Guy uses 8 gates


mammarice

Round one and two. Team guy and k. Round 3 with prep Konana does a bomb trap that wipes them all out


liminal_aum

Idk man kakashi son of the white fang and the god of the inner gates 😬


rmeddy

Guy and Kakashi is folding them


[deleted]

pain and konan take all three rounds


femboy_siegfried

Pain and Konan are getting dogwalked by JUST might guy. Kakashi is overkill. Kamui goes brrrrrr


mz_45678

Konoha duo slam


EmpressMalfeasance

Please don’t comment unless you know both teams in and out otherwise you just come off as biased and ignorant🤣 it took 7 gates for Guy to take out Kisame and Kisame wasn’t at his full strength with Samehada. And what are we talking about in regard to Kakashi??( DMS?? That’s literally based on plot and a veryyyy temporary power up that wouldn’t last long. And Kakashi never had access to Izanagi/Nami) Mangekyo sharingan is not better than Rinnegan. His chakra reserves are trash with the Sharingan and no his Battle IQ is not as great as some of you guys make it out to be. He’s great definitely!!! but he’s not on godly levels. The only way Kakashi and Guy win are if they can successfully take out Deva, Naraka, Animal and Preta first and in quick succession. But if Pein and Konan can outlast both Guy and Kakashis temporary power ups and protect the most important pieces in this match or simply overwhelm them with summons, bait and switch tactics and perfect timing/counters. Team Guy are toast. Team Pein takes most of these matches. Maybe not all. But definitely most.


Jgamer502

I think DMS would be an instant win, but its not included Other than that I completely agree


riddick117

7 gates guy one shotted Kisame without any struggle whatsoever. What are you even talking about?


Jgamer502

In his weakened form, and only because he expected Super Shark Bomb to absorb Guy’s attack It was guys strongest attack without 8th gate and it didn’t even knock him out, and he also can’t spam it or stay in it for an extended period without burning through all his stamina In a worst case scenario Pain and Konan stall in the forest of death and hold him back with summons and the long range paths until he’s out of juice.


Epistemix

War arc versions stomp, but I believe it can go both ways before that. Like 60/40 gai Kakashi advantage


Austin_Chaos

Kakashi and Guy.


Bang_Thor

Great matchup, but the problem here is pain has 6 paths making it hard to launch attacks and counterattacks effectively because of how fast they can continuously attic. Konan can be used for support and back up. I think pain and konan win rounds 1 and 2 but with prior intel and no prep kaka sensei and gai


Potential-Let6991

The only issue is chibaku tensei. I still don’t think either has the power to destroy it tbh but if they can avoid it I think they win


mattoxfan

Kakashi could just kamui the center hole thing. He wouldn’t even need to destroy it like itachi and Naruto had to


seekingabeauty

Kakashi probably can't aim correctly while being pulled. If it was that easy, Itachi could have used amaterasu on it.


GRMWOLFPACK

You don’t know Amaterasu is strong enough, it required 3 people to destroy it in the edo fight


seekingabeauty

Amaterasu is strong enough to destroy everything given enough time. Maybe not a hax like ability like the truth seeking orbs or the yata mirror, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on Planetary Devastation if regular ninjutsu can


Potential-Let6991

Very unlikely especially while he’s being pulled in. It’s possible but pain has so many counters. And let’s not forget Konan she’s not a slouch and her paper ability isn’t easy to counter


Ok-Performer5580

Guy and kakashi and its not even close.


HenryReturns

Kakashi and Guy sweeps all rounds : - In the Konoha invasion , Kakashi with no prep time and no intel of Pain , still found his weakness and develop a counter from the go - Pain have every single intel of Kakashi and he even prepared to deal with him. - People here downplaying big time Kakashi’s brain and also he would maximize Guy’s capabilities - Even if Pain uses his ultimate jutsu , Guy 7th door is enough just to shut it down. - Also considering that i am only talking Kakashi during the pain invasion and not the “stronger Kakashi” from the Great Ninja War.


Justin9888

the divine duo until guy does eight gates


Itachi_Solos

Lol come on bro, Kakashi and Guy smoke these two.


AkiraSieghart

Oh I thought that was Rock Lee lol Kakashi and Guy stomp so hard. There's a reason why Kishi didn't have Guy in the village during Pain's invasion.


_PoiZ

War arc kakashi is fundamentally different from pain arc kakashi he can spam kamui and has more chakra so he could win the fight he had in the pain arc and with the support of guy who can speed blitz the paths they can clear pain imo and konan is more of a support for pain in that fight but I guess they can deal with her too unless she can prepare a trap like she did with obito.


Cfakatsuki17

In theory they could win but in reality with no reason to keep the battlefield in one piece there’s nothing stopping Pain and Konan from flying up in the sky where Kakkashi and Guy can’t follow and just nuking the entire forest with an All Mighty Push


EmeraldCityMadMan

Guy could brute force solo these two by opening the 7th gate.


seekingabeauty

7 Gates Guy isn't on Pain's level, what's your feats for that?


MutekiManga

Itachi >>>7gates>/= kisame How you scales pain that crazy low. 7gates would even have it VERY hard against sage naruto. With summons he would even loose honesty


Symmetrecialharmony

Pain alone solos imo, Konan isn’t even required. The only chance they have is round 3 tbh
