Obito was named Genin (apprentice ninja) during the Third Great Ninja War. He
formed a team with Kakashi Hatake, a child-prodigy who became his rival and Rin
Nohara, a young girl he fell in love with; under the tutelage of the legendary
Minato Namikaze, one of the most powerful ninjas to ever live. He became Chunin
(normal ninja) the same day Kakashi became Jonin (master ninja).
One fated day, Minato's team was tasked to destroy a bridge in the enemy
territory to hinder the opposing forces. During this mission, Obito and his
teammates got separated from their teacher and Rin got abducted. Disgusted by
Kakashi's willingness to abandon Rin, Obito resolved to rescue her alone.
However, they managed to work out their differences after Obito helped Kakashi
to solve his personal issues, and went together to rescue their comrade. After a
short skirmish with enemy ninjas, during which Kakashi lost an eye and Obito
awoke the Sharigan (his clan's eye-power), they managed to find Rin. However,
one of their enemies caused a cave in and Obito got crushed under boulders while
saving Kakashi from falling rocks, with the entire right side of his body being
destroyed. Obito gave his remaining Sharingan to replace Kakashi's lost eye and
made him promise to watch over Rin for him. Seconds later, the cave collapsed
and Obito was presumed deceased and hailed as a hero.

underground lair was located near the collapsed cave. Madara rebuilt the
destroyed half of Obito's body with a vegetal organism grown from the cells of
the late First Hokage Hashirama Senju. Obito at first wanted nothing to do with
Madara and trained very hard to regain his peak condition, striving to reunite
with his friends, but he could not escape Madara's lair. During this time, he
was watched over by Zetsu and his clone, Spiral Zetsu.

Nagato, better known as Pain, is the apparent leader of Akatsuki
and the lord of Amegakure (the Hidden Village of the Rain), who served as a
major antagonist in the Naruto series. While he seemed to control the
organization, he was in fact Tobi's second-in-command. He is a member of the
scattered Uzumaki Clan, making him a distant relative of the series' primary
protagonist Naruto Uzumaki.

History
BackgroundNagato as a child
Added by Becky1991Nagato was
born in a village near Amegakure, living a difficult life during the Second
Shinobi War. By that time, Nagato found by Madara Uchiha who transplanted his eyes into the
boy without him realizing it. One day, two Hidden Leaf Ninjas broke into their
home looking for food, unaware that the place was still inhabited. Nagato's
parents, believing them to be enemies, got themselves killed attacking the two
so their son can escape. This event, memorized as the first of his three
greatest pains, causes Nagato's Rinnegan to manifest as he unknowingly killed
the assailants. Soon after, accompanied by a dog named Chibi, Nagato wanted the
country while begging for food.Nagato with Konan and Yahiko
Added by Balthus Dire
Eventually, Nagato was found by Konan as she and Yahiko accepted him into their group. Soon after,
hearing Yahiko's dream to conquer the world and make it better, Nagato is
inspired to make it a reality. The day Chibi died in the crossfire from the
fight between Amegakure's dictator Hanzo against the three Hidden Leaf ninja he
christened the Sannin, Nagato and his friends came apprentices until one of the
three ninja: Jiraiya. Witnessing Nagato's Rinnegan killing a ninja from
Iwagakure in self-defense, Jiraiya resolved to help Nagato master his powers so
he can achieve world peace. Three years later, Jiraiya returned to his homeland
while the orphans became full-fledged Amegakure ninja. However, Nagato and his
friends encounter a strange man calling himself "Madara" and his traveling
companion. Though the unconvinced Yahiko took Nagato and Konan
away from him, the former curious by the stranger's knowledge of the Rinnegan,
the figure promised to wait for Nagato until he and friends understand his way
of thinking.
In time, Yahiko gathered followers who shared their philosophies for peace to
create the Akatsuki. However, Hanzo viewed the organization and it's three
leading ninja as a threat to him. With aid from Danzo Shimura, Hanzo lured Nagato and his friends
into an ambush with Konan held captive and the only way she would be saved is if
Nagato murders Yahiko. Not wanting Nagato to make a choice, Yahiko impaled
himself on his friend's kunai while believing he can save the world like Jiraiya
believed him to do.
With the death of his friend memorized as his second greatest pain, Nagato
snaps as his Rinnegan fully manifest while he subconsciously summons the Demonic
Statue of the Outer Path. Becoming frail and emaciated as the staute attaches
chakra rods on his back, Nagato slaughters Hanzo's men and the accompanying ROOT
agents before Hanzo escapes using a paper bomb that crippled his enraged pursuer
from the waist down. Though his rage subsided, Nagato came to the realization
that the only way the world can be at peace is for it to suffer. Soon after, he
becomes the new leader of the Akatsuki under the name of Pain.
However, due to his condition requiring him to be in a walker, Nagato devised
a means to transfer a sixth of his power into a corpse which he can control
remotely as an extension of himself. That corpse was Yahiko, through which the
powers of the Deva Path are used through. With a mobile body, Pain causes a
civil war that ended with him killing Hanzo and taking over Amegakure while
solidifying his rule by systematically killing anyone who had ties to the former
lord. Soon after, Nagato added five more corpses to serve as his remaining
vessels to use the power of his other Paths through. Nagato later meets the
figure once more, now going by the alias Tobi as he manipulates Nagato to serve under him
as a figurehead of the reorganized Akatsuki.
Using Yahiko as his usual vessel before the other Akatsuki members, Nagato
oversaw the organization's agendas as Pain with only Konan and Tobi aware of his
true body. Shortly after Deidara's death, Tobi instructed Pain to capture
Naruto Uzumaki to obtain Kurama the Nine-Tails. However, Pain detected Jiraiya
infiltrating the village before he could depart. Sending Konan to distract
Jiraiya before he arrived in his Animal Path body, Pain confronts their old
master while revealing his intentions with the Tailed Beasts to create a weapon
of mass destruction to force all nations to unconditionally surrender. When
Jiraiya activated his Sage Mode, Pain eventually uses all of his Path vessels to
battle Jiraiya.
<
Recognizing his opponents as ninja he met before, Jiraiya is fatally wounded
when the Paths all lunged at him and impaling him multiple times just as he
realized Nagato's method of controlling the corpses. However, with the last of
strength so the Hidden Leaf learn of his finding, Jiraiya sent a coded message
and an unconscious Animal Path to Konoha. After Jiraiya sank into the depths of
the sea, Pain held a moment of silence in respect for his former teacher. Soon
after obtaining a replacement for the Animal Path, as shown in the anime, Pain
captures the Six Tails Jinchuriki Utakata before he and Konan are deployed to
capture Naruto.
<
While Nagato hid away, he sent his Paths and Konan into the Hidden Leaf,
where they slaughtered various ninja including Kakashi Hatake. Using his Deva
Path, Path confronts Tsunade and attempts to force her into revealing Naruto's
locations. But when Tsunade refuses and calls him a terrorist, Pain decides to
educate the Hidden Leaf in suffering by using a Shinra Tensei to obliterate the
village as Konan and the other Paths withdrew while Tsunade overexerted herself
to exhaustion to minimize the damage by the time Naruto arrived.
Though having gained Sage Mode, destroying the other Paths, Naruto finds
himself outmatched by Pain and his Deva Path abilities before Hinata Hyuga
attempted to fight Pain and got herself killed as Naruto, learning of her true
feelings for him, was consumed in Kurama's power to the point the Nine Tails
almost broke free. This forces Nagato to get Yahiko's corpse closer to him so
Pain can have a better chance of winning. Fortunately, a failsafe of the seal in
the form of Naruto's, the fabled Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, took effect.
Reflecting on the earlier lecture, after defeating Pain, Naruto tracks Nagato
and finds him as he attempted to take control of his body. Despite hating
Nagato, Naruto held his ground and asked how a former student of Jiraiya could
have strayed so far from their master's teachings. Hoping that Naruto would come
to agree with his solution for peace, Nagato told him of the tragic past he
shared with his childhood friends.
Although Naruto agreed with Nagato's conclusion, he rejected it for differing
with Jiraiya's ideals. Believing that peace would come by "breaking the cycle of
hatred", he decided not to kill Nagato, as that would only lead Konan to seek
revenge, and in turn, lead others to seek revenge. Amazed by Naruto's resolve
and remembering Jiraiya's teachings, Nagato decided to put his faith in Naruto's
method and sacrifices his own life to revive all the Konoha citizens he killed
during his invasion.
In the aftermath, Konan encased Nagato and Yahiko's bodies in paper and took
them back to Amegakure for burial. She leaved Akatsuki and pledged Amegakure's
allegiance to Naruto and Konoha on behalf of Nagato, giving him a bouquet of
origami flowers as a memento. However, while brought back to life by Kabuto Yakushi using the Reanimation Jutsu, Tobi
ransacked the memorial in Amegakure to take Nagato's Rinnegan eyes and implant
one into himself.
As the Fourth Great Ninja War commences, still unable to walk, Nagato is
paired with Itachi as they discussed the the fact is that
they are both pawns who are valued for their eyes. Shortly after, they engaged a
fight against Naruto and Killer Bee, while he was pleased to see the former
again. Due to immobility, Nagato uses his Animal Path powers to summon mounts to
fight.
During the fight, Nagato manages to absorb Gyuki's chakra to rejuvenate his
body back to its peak condition and fight at his full power. However, Itachi
manages to free himself from Kabuto's control and help the Jinchuriki in
defeating Nagato by sealing Nagato with his Susanoo. Before Nagato's undead
corpse crumbled to dust, he bade farewell to Naruto and hopes for him to
win.
Nagato himself doesn't appear in the spin-off in person, he appeared most likely
in his Deva Path appearance, still using his Pain persona & is still
portrayed as Akatsuki's leader. He first appeared in the ending credits after
Lee unintentionally fell into their hideout, which annoys him & then orders
his teammates to attack Lee but is saved by Konoha 11. Later, Pain debuted in
Episode 38 wherein he arrived at his hideout alongside with Konan. Tenten was
shocked by his arrival. Much like his other teammates, he also mistook Lee as a
new recruit. After Konan gives her welcome gift, Pain steps by to introduce
himself but accidently trips from a small rock.
up and introduces himself and says he is a god, wherein Lee & Tenten thinks
he's nuts while Hidan starts to make fun of him, whom he gives a
Shinra Tensei. Later Pain explains to the group that he gathered them all here
to have a meeting but then decided to see Lee's abilities, wherein Hidan mistook
this for a Jashin ritual, whom he gives another Shinra Tensei. He decided to
make anybody to volunteer to fight him, Deidara steps up and volunteers to "fight" him,
actually to secretly help them escape, but was interrupted by a disguised Guy
and Neji. While the two are "fighting" using their same-styled attack, Deidara
was hit by the "fight" which starts a fight among the group, Kakuzu tries to payback Sasori for unintentionally dragging him but
accidently hits Pain, alongside with Hidan, much to his anger & fights his
teammates, thus destroying their hideout. Later after Tobi & Zetsu arrived and Sasori blames him for
"recruiting" Lee & Guy, Tobi admits the truth about them. Upon hearing this,
he angrily ask Tobi why didn't he told them in the first place. The good boy
explains that Deidara bribed him. Upon learning the truth, he alongside with the
rest of Akatsuki beats up Deidara for not telling Lee was a spy.
In Episode 51, Sasuke teams up with Akatsuki to destroy Konoha. Pain is seen
with Konan and Kakuzu fighting Team Asuma. Konan and Kakuzu are shown to be
defeated but his fate is not shown.
Nagato used to be a kind, emotional and sensitive boy, who was prone to
crying and could not stand the idea of killing others, even to save his friends.
He regarded his friends and his master as examples and worked hard to emulate
them, displaying a strong dedication in his training. He admired Yahiko's
strong-will and determination, and he called Konan his "angel". Due to their
lifelong friendship, Konan became his right-hand woman and was the only Akatsuki
member that addressed him by his name or his alias.
As Pain, his personality was very different, having become dead-serious,
calm, aloof, stolid, melancholic and detached. He believed that the traumas he
experienced had enlightened him to the true meaning of suffering, and made him
evolve beyond his human condition, as he considered himself a deity. (He
proclaimed himself a "God of Peace" who must guide the world through pain.) He
destroyed all opposition and murdered anyone whom he regarded as an obstacle,
showing no moral qualms about his actions. (To the point of willingly killing
Jiraiya, who no longer meant anything for him.) Finally, he felt that no-one
could understand true peace unless they understood "true" pain, something Yahiko
believed, and took this philosophy to an extreme, making sure that anyone he
spoke to would see what they hold dear destroyed before their very eyes. He
seemed extremely sensitive when it came to talk about pain and violently reacted
whenever someone claimed to know about it, or criticized his ideology.
Because Konoha was partly responsible for the tragedies in his life, he held
some form of animosity for the village. Although Jiraiya's influence improved
his opinion of the village during their time together, he eventually came to
believe that Konoha profited from the tragedies of others and grew to fully hate
it. He was especially irked by their patronizing discourses about peace,
considering it a permanent agression.
Nonetheless, "Pain" was quite respectful, particularly to the fallen and the
dead. He often restrained the frequent bickering in Akatsuki's ranks and
encouraged better relations among its members. He even suggested that they mourn
for their fallen comrades, reprimanding those who made fun of their
memories.
After redeeming himself, Nagato turned back to his childhood dreams. His
respect for Jiraiya returned tenfold and he embraced Naruto's ideals of breaking
the chain of hatred. He also developped a melacholic side, contemplating the
errors of his ways and going as far as calling himself a "failure".
Powers and
Abilities
Nagato was an extraordinarily powerful shinobi, even above the five Kage.
(The lords of the five greatest Ninja Nations, known as the most powerful ninjas
in the world.) He was not only one of the mightiest ninjas of the series, but
the one with the largest array of abilites, making him versatile and
unpredictable. His powers were so great that he could effortlessly kill Hanzō
and Jiraiya, two exceptionally powerful ninjas feared worldwide. (Although he
stated he might have lost if Jiraiya knew the secret of his power.) It has also
been noted at several points in time that Nagato possessed an unusually large
amount of exceptionally strong chakra.
Nagato's incredible might stemmed mainly from the legendary Rinnegan, a
originally possessed by the Sage of the Six Paths, though his eyes were given to
him in secret by Madara. The Rinnegan's abilities enable Nagato to physically
see chakra, to use the five elemental natures of chakra and to master any normal
technique he came across. More importantly, the Rinnegan granted him six
fearsome special powers created by the Sage of the Six Paths. Nagato could
alternate between each of these powers and even use two of them simultaneously.
It also allows him to summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
titanic, otherworldly statue is the first and foremost summon available to the
one who wields the Rinnegan.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was first seen serving as a motionless
container, used to extract the Tailed Demons from their Jinchurikis (human
hosts) and to store them within it. It could also be summoned for warring
purposes. Its was first seen unleashing many dragon-like spirits that rips out
the soul of anyone they touch and absorb it, killing the victim. The Statue also
recently displayed the abilities to fight like a humanoid warrior with
astonishing strength, to unleash devastating, blasting shockwaves or huge bolts
of energy that rain down on its targets.However it was reavled that the Demonic
Statue is actually the vessal for the Ten-Tails.
Six Paths of Pain
Nagato's most dangerous and most used technique was the Six Paths of Pain. It
allowed him to divide his consciousness between six separate corpses, which he
animated and remotely controlled through the numerous chakra receivers, modeled
as body piercings of various size and shape on each corpse. Each of these Six
Paths were impervious to physical pain and wielded one of Nagato's special
powers, which gave it its name. In order to use this technique, Nagato needed to
be close by, and ideally at the highest possible point, so he could have the
best possible range to transmit his chakra to the corpses.
While controlling them, Nagato used the alias "Pain", yet still regarded them
as separate entities from himself. The Elder Toad Fukasaku stated the best way
of fighting Pain was to take out the paths one at a time as they were most
formidable when fighting together in combos. Indeed, they could simultaneously
use and combine Nagato's powers to increase their efficiency. Nagato was even
able to see through their six pairs of eyes simultaneously, rendering them
unable to be caught by surprise as long as they fought in formation.
Each body was named after one of the six paths of Reincarnation from the
Buddhist mythology: Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Preta, and Naraka. The only
common feature shared by these bodies was their bright orange hair and their
Rinnegan. They also had a vast number of body and facial piercings of various
shapes, sizes, and patterns.As Stated By Konan Nagato can use all the Six Bodies
powers as they were orginally his this was demostrated when he was revived by
kabuto he used all the rinnegan abilities against Naruto and Bee it was also on
a higher level than the corpses use.

showing no moral qualms about his actions. (To the point of willingly killing
Jiraiya, who no longer meant anything for him.) Finally, he felt that no-one
could understand true peace unless they understood "true" pain, something Yahiko
believed, and took this philosophy to an extreme, making sure that anyone he
spoke to would see what they hold dear destroyed before their very eyes. He
seemed extremely sensitive when it came to talk about pain and violently reacted
whenever someone claimed to know about it, or criticized his ideology.
Because Konoha was partly responsible for the tragedies in his life, he held
some form of animosity for the village. Although Jiraiya's influence improved
his opinion of the village during their time together, he eventually came to
believe that Konoha profited from the tragedies of others and grew to fully hate
it. He was especially irked by their patronizing discourses about peace,
considering it a permanent agression.
Nonetheless, "Pain" was quite respectful, particularly to the fallen and the
dead. He often restrained the frequent bickering in Akatsuki's ranks and
encouraged better relations among its members. He even suggested that they mourn
for their fallen comrades, reprimanding those who made fun of their
memories.
After redeeming himself, Nagato turned back to his childhood dreams. His
respect for Jiraiya returned tenfold and he embraced Naruto's ideals of breaking
the chain of hatred. He also developped a melacholic side, contemplating the
errors of his ways and going as far as calling himself a "failure".
Powers and
Abilities
Nagato was an extraordinarily powerful shinobi, even above the five Kage.
(The lords of the five greatest Ninja Nations, known as the most powerful ninjas
in the world.) He was not only one of the mightiest ninjas of the series, but
the one with the largest array of abilites, making him versatile and
unpredictable. His powers were so great that he could effortlessly kill Hanzō
and Jiraiya, two exceptionally powerful ninjas feared worldwide. (Although he
stated he might have lost if Jiraiya knew the secret of his power.) It has also
been noted at several points in time that Nagato possessed an unusually large
amount of exceptionally strong chakra.
Nagato's incredible might stemmed mainly from the legendary Rinnegan, a
originally possessed by the Sage of the Six Paths, though his eyes were given to
him in secret by Madara. The Rinnegan's abilities enable Nagato to physically
see chakra, to use the five elemental natures of chakra and to master any normal
technique he came across. More importantly, the Rinnegan granted him six
fearsome special powers created by the Sage of the Six Paths. Nagato could
alternate between each of these powers and even use two of them simultaneously.
It also allows him to summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
titanic, otherworldly statue is the first and foremost summon available to the
one who wields the Rinnegan.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was first seen serving as a motionless
container, used to extract the Tailed Demons from their Jinchurikis (human
hosts) and to store them within it. It could also be summoned for warring
purposes. Its was first seen unleashing many dragon-like spirits that rips out
the soul of anyone they touch and absorb it, killing the victim. The Statue also
recently displayed the abilities to fight like a humanoid warrior with
astonishing strength, to unleash devastating, blasting shockwaves or huge bolts
of energy that rain down on its targets.However it was reavled that the Demonic
Statue is actually the vessal for the Ten-Tails.
Six Paths of Pain
Nagato's most dangerous and most used technique was the Six Paths of Pain. It
allowed him to divide his consciousness between six separate corpses, which he
animated and remotely controlled through the numerous chakra receivers, modeled
as body piercings of various size and shape on each corpse. Each of these Six
Paths were impervious to physical pain and wielded one of Nagato's special
powers, which gave it its name. In order to use this technique, Nagato needed to
be close by, and ideally at the highest possible point, so he could have the
best possible range to transmit his chakra to the corpses.
While controlling them, Nagato used the alias "Pain", yet still regarded them
as separate entities from himself. The Elder Toad Fukasaku stated the best way
of fighting Pain was to take out the paths one at a time as they were most
formidable when fighting together in combos. Indeed, they could simultaneously
use and combine Nagato's powers to increase their efficiency. Nagato was even
able to see through their six pairs of eyes simultaneously, rendering them
unable to be caught by surprise as long as they fought in formation.
Each body was named after one of the six paths of Reincarnation from the
Buddhist mythology: Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Preta, and Naraka. The only
common feature shared by these bodies was their bright orange hair and their
Rinnegan. They also had a vast number of body and facial piercings of various
shapes, sizes, and patterns.As Stated By Konan Nagato can use all the Six Bodies
powers as they were orginally his this was demostrated when he was revived by
kabuto he used all the rinnegan abilities against Naruto and Bee it was also on
a higher level than the corpses use.
