One of the most iconic, troubled, and complex villains of Naruto is easily Nagato, the selfless orphan turned warped criminal mastermind. Though his beginnings were humble, he was doomed the second Madara Uchiha planted his Rinnegan in him. He would never have been able to have a normal life. Nagato tried his best, though, with his best friends Konan and Yahiko. However, that turned out to be just as doomed as he was.
By the time Naruto fans meet Pain, he has turned into the ultra mysterious leader of Akatsuki, the ninja organization that wants to make a better world by destroying the one that exists. Some extremely notable members include Orochimaru, Itachi Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha. This organization collected good people gone bad.
However, all of Nagato’s troubles began with his anatomy. After all, if he never got that Rinnegan, he would never have begun a target for Obito’s corruption. Perhaps without all of that power he would have been far better off. The Rinnegan is hardly the only thing interesting about Nagato’s body, though.
With that said, here are the 25 Strange Details About Pain’s Anatomy In Naruto.
25 His Mind Is Crippled By Grief
Pain grew up as Nagato, the son of healers during wartime. However, Konoha shinobi struck his parents down when he was very young. This loss broke part of him, but he regained some normalcy by joining up with the other Ame oprhans and creating their own little family. Between his friends and Jiraiya, he could endure.
When Yahiko fell, though, Nagato lost the brightest light that led his way. His gentle selflessness quickly warped and twisted itself into something aggressive and violent. Though he was a great ninja and a brilliantly effective leader, Pain lost his mind then.
24 He Has Naturally Strong Chakra
Fans eventually find out that Nagato is not only a major adversary, but also a member of the scattered Uzumaki clan. Their signature red hair gives him away. His mother was his connection to the powerful clan.
His Uzumaki heritage means that Pain has innately strong chakra and chakra reserves. For any villain, that’s a dangerous natural ability. Pain’s willpower and Rinnegan only make him more powerful. While having deep, powerful chakra is intimidating enough, Pain’s ability to use it on adept, rare powers is all the more frightening. This is what leads to his Six Paths and things like his enormous Chibaku Tensei.
23 He Was Reincarnated
During the Fourth Shinobi War, Kabuto went on a rampage reincarnating powerful ninja who he could use and control — and one of them was Nagato. After his life ended, though, he felt great remorse for the terrible things he’d done and only wished better for the world and Naruto. He and the other reincarnated ninja worked to counter their puppet-masters and help Konoha win the war.
Though Nagato didn’t have control of his body, he used his voice to warn his combatants for as long as he could. Life may have ended poorly for him, but in the afterlife, he regained his sanity and showed off his gentle soul.
22 He Was Corrupted By Tobi
Tobi, who was actually Obito Uchiha in disguise, was already a disillusioned young man warped by Madara into fulfilling his dream of an ideal world. Pain, on the other hand, was warped by Tobi.
Nagato already was struggling with the state of the world when his best friend Yahiko fell. Though that twisted his mind, it was Tobi who corrupted him and turned Akatsuki into a force of destruction. When heartbroken and lost, Pain became a shell of himself. Obito capitalized on the vulnerable Nagato and made a monstrous puppet out of the once powerful and kind ninja.
21 He Became An Orphan At A Young Age
The Second Shinobi War was devastating for all parties involved. Villages were destroyed, many lives were lost, and good people did very bad things. During this terrible time, Nagato and his parents kept each other safe and helped the wounded.
When Konoha warriors broke into their home looking for food, the little family tried to sneak out. They were caught, though, and Nagato’s parents tried to attack the intruders so that he could escape. Though the ninja quickly overpowered them, they didn’t realize these were only civilians until it was too late. After that, Nagato was an orphan. Finding Konan and Yahiko was the only thing that saved him from growing up alone.
20 He Mastered Yang Release
There are two nature transformations that aren’t elemental: Yin and Yang Releases. These releases are connected to life forces and energy. Yang Release, in particular, can breathe life into form — it is creation.
While Pain is a master of the style, his signature moves don’t come from this Jutsu. During his childhood, it was more impressive that he could dabble in Yang Release, which was something few adults could even do. However, he does use moves like Chibaku Tensei adeptly, which might draw refinement from his Yang Release abilities. Overall, Nagato’s body was impressive then and his capabilities remain impressive to this day.
19 He Can Perform Shinra Tensei
The Shinra Tensei is the signature power of Pain’s Deva Path. Furthermore, it can only be used by ninja that can use all of the basic nature transformations.
When the ability is activated, the user creates a repelling force which acts as a shield around them pushing everything away. Understandably, that means it’s most often used as a powerful defensive move. It can repel even forces like the Amaterasu. However, it can also be destructive, decimating anything it’s directed towards.
This ability is entirely based on chakra, so it’s understandable an Uzumaki would find strength and ease with it. When Pain uses it too forcefully, like when decimating Konoha, it can shorten his life.
18 He Spent Many Years Underground
For a long time after leaving the Ame orphans, Jiraiya heard from other travelers of their heroic exploits and was proud. However, at a certain point, he stopped hearing about them at all. He assumed his beloved orphans had been slain and accepted that. That was hardly close to the truth, though.
After Yahiko’s passing, Pain and Konan simply went underground and turned their organization secretive. When they were so open, they lost their leader, Yahiko, after all.
Years later, after building up quick a system and an army, the orphans resurfaced. Jiraiya may have thought their bodies and souls passed on, but instead they evolved into something far more horrifying.
17 He Was A Child With A Sensitive, Selfless Heart
Despite his later exploits, Nagato was once a shy, kind-hearted child. he was powerful, but he wasn’t a leader. Yahiko, the most charismatic, idealistic orphan did that. Though more guarded, Pain was dedicated to Yahiko and they were like brothers. He planned on fulfilling his plans, no matter what.
Overall, regardless of being a villain or hero, Nagato did everything for the sake of someone else. He chased Yahiko’s dreams for him. Pain brutally took care of Amekagure, even it ended with cruelty.
Mix a warped, corrupted mind with a desperation to help others, and Nagato became a dangerous, relentless foe.
16 He Had Painfully Frail Legs
After Yahiko’s life ended terribly, Nagato desperately fought against the man at fault: Hanzo, the new leader of Amegakure village. After all, the monster caused his best friend’s passing and still held his other best friend, Konan, hostage.
Pain decimated Hanzo’s forces and got Konan back, but Hanzo still crippled his legs and got away.
Because of this, his real body stays frail and ill, hidden somewhere else, while his Six Paths acted as his bodies. His control of them lets him be a leader and weapon. After All, his broken body wasn’t his best option.
However, in a sense, losing his legs is exactly how Nagato became a nearly invincible, mysterious “god”.
15 His “Paths” Are All People Jiraiya Knew
When The Six Paths of Pain starts to become a threat to Konoha and the surrounding lands, Jiraiya is quick to confront him. Particularly since the leader of them, the Deva Path, was his old student Yahiko. The Six Paths of Pain, once all working together, overpower the legendary Sannin and defeat him. As he draws his last breaths, he realizes he’s met all the different paths in his travels, all powerful people from different villages.
Nagato hypothesized if Jiraiya figured out the secret to the Six Paths of Pain that he could defeat them. Though he lost, the seconds of his life were spent writing a message that helped Konoha shinobi discover the truth.
14 He Is Legendary Puppeteer
Many puppeteer ninja can control bodies, dolls, objects, the like. However, with the help of his Rinnegan, Pain is able to control the Six Paths of Pain simultaneously and use their bodies as if they were his own. Because of this, he’s easily one of the most powerful and legendary puppeteers to have existed. Bringing back six corpses and choreographing their movements effectively is impressive.
Even better, he does it all from his base, where he lies crippled, and uses those bodies as his mask. He’s not a short-term puppeteer, he’s in constant control of these six bodies and doing all he can with them to fulfill his motives.
13 He Is Nearly Invincible
While Nagato’s body is broken and frail, between his Six Paths of Pain and his secrets, he’s nearly invincible. After all, even if the bodies he’s using fall, then he can just make more and come back stronger as long as his enemies don’t find him.
This means that, unless an opponent infiltrates his organization and figures out his secret, he can keep coming back indefinitely. Losing a fight would not destroy him. However, Pain is very protective of his Deva Path. He’s more likely to sacrifice other bodies and save that one. This hardly makes him easier to destroy, though. At best, he just becomes more determined.
12 He Is The Son of Healers
For someone who eventually became so dangerous and destructive, it was surprising for fans to learn that Nagato was the son of healers. His parents went out of their way to help save others and not cause more damage. The couple did instill a kindness and selflessness in their son, but losing them only made him wary of the evils of humanity.
Growing up with his parents, Pain would have had a better shot at being a heroic, kind ninja. He could have ended up a medical ninja. However, without them, he was put on the path of pain.
11 Some Believed Him To Be A God
Members of the Akatsuki saw Pain as a sort of god. Even when Yahiko was leading and not Nagato, he was the savior. Yahiko just was the man with the plan. Once Nagato adopted his plans, he became their prophetic figurehead, covering all the bases.
Even though Pain’s plans became a warped combination of Yahiko’s and Madara’s, his followers were still endlessly dedicated to him. The goal of making a better world through destroying the current one didn’t deter them. Using a mask of charisma, Pain drew people to him and made them believe in his strength and wisdom. His subordinates would have followed him anywhere since he meant everything to them.
10 Hanzo Broke His Body
During their young lives, the Ame orphans were taught by Jiraiya and then went traveling on their own to make the world a better place. However, when they came back to their old town, which was rebuilt and under new management, things didn’t go well. The new leader, Hanzo, abducted Konan and told Nagato that he had to slay Yahiko to save her life.
Though Nagato was against this, to save Konan, Yahiko threw himself onto his best friend’s blade. Nagato then decimated Hanzo’s forces and took Konan back. However, in the process, Hanzo had destroyed Nagato’s body and fled the scene. Hanzo crippled Pain for the rest of his life. He only got his revenge many years later, when he turned Amegakure against the cruel man.
9 He Can Detect Probes
One of Pain’s largest advantages involves detection. Though he’s terribly strong and powerful, being able to detect opponents is vital in a fight, especially for his Six Paths of Pain. After all, since they are hyper-aware of their surroundings, the six are much stronger alone or as a unit.
For example, Pain uses the Rain Tiger At Will technique to monitor all movements within Amegakure. He can also pinpoint locations of specific people across large expanses. He can even still detect others through barriers meant to keep people and probes out.
8 He Can Use Chibaku Tensei
Chibaku Tensei is an intimidating ability, but Pain’s is completely gargantuan. Using the ability, he can create a large asteroid in the sky. With it, he can trap enemies, threaten villages, and deconstruct the earth around him. Just based on looks alone, it’s terribly looming.
The only person to ever break free from his Chibaku Tensei was Naruto, who was, of course, the person who finally defeated him. Pain’s ability to use a technique on a large scale is a testament to his chakra reserves and the incredible strength of his Rinnegan.
7 He Treasure Yahiko’s Body The Most
Of all of his collected corpses, Yahiko’s is the one that Pain treasures the most. The other bodies were chosen because of their unique strengths. While Yahiko was strong, his most important value to Nagato was what he represented. Yahiko’s body represents peace and strength.
Losing Yahiko was likely the most difficult moment in Pain’s life, and he honors that loss by keeping Yahiko as the leader of his own organization. Most importantly, though, he is willing to sacrifice any of his other paths to keep Yahiko’s corpse intact. After all, the other paths are replaceable since they’re just vessels to him. Yahiko isn’t.
6 He Uses Charisma As A Mask
Nagato was never very charismatic. He was the muscle, while Yahiko was the leader. However, after Yahiko’s passing, he was determined to keep his friend’s ambitions alive. By using Yahiko’s body, Pain became the new figurehead. Nagato used his old friend’s body to become the charismatic, effective leader that the Akatsuki needed.
Though brilliant leadership never suited his real personality, he made himself into whatever the group needed. This reflected his selfless, determined personality, no matter how warped and corrupted he ended up becoming before the end of his life.
5 He Was The Adopted Son Of A Sannin
After losing his parents, Nagato spent all of his time with his new family, the Ame orphans. Though they took care of themselves most of the time, they did have a father figure: Jiraiya. He was the closest thing the orphans had to a father.
Jiraiya stayed with the orphans for three years to train them. He also ate with them, cared for them, and played with them. All three children loved him dearly and used his teaching to try to make the world better. However, by the time Jiraiya and Pain met again, he had become too heartbroken, corrupted, and warped to love his old foster father. Instead, he took his life.
4 He Was Related To Naruto
Initially, Pain comes into Naruto as a mysterious and ominous figure. However, over some time, the show slowly reveals his machinations and history. One of the more surprisingly unknown aspects of his past involves his genetics. He is a member of the Uzumaki clan.
This means that, at least in some capacity, he is related to Naruto. This gives Pain the incredible chakra that propels his powers and his Rinnegan. Like most Uzumaki, though, he didn’t have a fantastic childhood and faced many hardships.
3 He Was Though To Be The Child Of Prophecy
Soon after Jiraiya began training the Ame orphans, he thought that Nagato might be the legendary child of prophecy. After all, Jiraiya was supposed to teach the child, which would impact the fate of the world. However, when Jiraiya heard that the orphans went missing later on, he assumed that his hunch was wrong, for a second time.
At first, he believed that Minato Namikaze was the child of the prophecy, who eventually became the Fourth Hokage and father of Naruto. Coincidentally, this meant that the real child of prophecy had something in common with both of Jiraiya’s hunches: he was an Uzumaki and a Namikaze.
2 Madara Gave Him A Rinnegan
When Nagato was a young child, Madara snuck into his home and gave him his Rinnegan. This way, he’d have powerful ninja to influence when it was time to enact his plans. In the form of Tobi, Obito approached an older Nagato in hopes of teaching him more about the Rinnegan. However, what he really wanted was to corrupt him.
Eventually, the passing of Yahiko and Tobi’s influence set Nagato on the path of Pain, and everything was going to plan until Naruto ended Pain’s life. During the Fourth Shinobi War, Madara and Kabuto worked together to reincarnate Pain. Instead, though, Nagato fought them at every point and their plans failed.
1 Nagato Created The Six Paths Of Pain
Pain was in a weakened state when he took his new moniker. Because of this, he also used his powers to adopt several bodies and make himself stronger. Naming these bodies the Six Paths of Pain, Nagato used each one as an extension of himself and became the leader of the Akatsuki.
Each path had a different speciality. Narak Path specialized in interrogation and restoration, Preta Path could absorb a lot of chakra, Animal Path’s main function was summoning, Human Path was best at reading minds and taking hold of souls, and Asura Path was body augmentation. Most important was the Deva Path, who was the face of Akatsuki and was used the most.
