Why didn't Kurenai help at all during the Pain invasion?

Not saying she could have stopped him, but she's a jounin and the village was being invaded. The least she could have done was cast a genjutsu or throw a kunai or something rather than act like a frightened little housewife.

Just cuz she was pregnant doesn't mean she can't cast some genjutsus? Besides, its a known fact that when you are pregnant you should be getting 30 mins of exercise per day anyway. The paths were all split up over various parts of the village, so she could have tried to genjutsu them one at a time and have some of the other people finish them off. again, not saying she could have done much, but she's the village's top genjutsu expert and a jounin she could have at least tried to do something.

i guess she doesn't have the will of fire.

She won't risk her baby would she?

Hmm, because she's a worthless background fodder character Kishi doesn't give the slightest shit about; thus she wasn't shown. Wasn't hard, was it? What's more is that she can't do jackshit against Pain anyway. Case closed.​

She wasn't strong enough to fight with a path of pain in the first place, let alone while she was pregnant..

Do you seriously expect a pregnant woman 2 go stand out on the battlefield?

She was shown. But I agree with everything else.

even pregnant kurenai as a jounin and top genjutsu expert should have been more useful than the majority of fodder ninja who fought pain. konohamaru even fought pain... i guess kurenai doesn't have the will of fire.

Well yeah Konohamaru fought Pain, but he had rasengan as an ace in the hole 0.o Without it, he'd have died though v_v Steamrolled woulda been more like it lol. Could she have done something? Yes. Would she do something while pregnant? Not a chance.
