Pain Invasion arc
Inoichi was part of Ibiki Morino's Investigation team and tried to read the mind of Pain's henchmen Yūdachi. Tonbo Tobitake, Shimon Hijiri and Mozuku assisted him, but the mind of the henchmen seems to be protected by some sort of powerful genjutsu. He manages to break through the genjutsu protection barrier and go straight into his mind, but he was interrupted when his daughter, Ino, tells him about Konoha being under attack by Pain. Two of Pain's bodies then attacked the pair, but were confronted by Ibiki himself while Inoichi and his daughter fled to safety with Shizune.
