Nagato
Nagato, also known as Pain was the leader of the Akatsuki. He was a sad and complicated person in the Naruto series. Nagato was born in the Land of Rain which was a place that was always at war. When Nagato was very young his parents were killed by ninjas from Konoha. This made Nagato very sad. It also made the legendary Rinnegan appear in him. The Rinnegan was put in him by Madara Uchiha, who had a plan.
Nagato was all alone. Then he met Konan and Yahiko. They became like a family. They helped each other to survive. Later Jiraiya found them. Taught them how to be ninjas. He also taught them that peace is very important.
Nagato and his friends were very inspired by Jiraiya. So Yahiko started the Akatsuki with Nagato and Konan. They wanted to make the Land of Rain a peaceful place.. Then something very bad happened. Hanzo and Danzo attacked them. Yahiko died saving Konan. This made Nagato very sad and angry.
This sad event changed Nagato. He started to hate war. He wanted to make sure that no one else suffered like he did. So Nagato became Pain. He wanted to make peace by being in control and making people fear him.
Nagato created the Six Paths of Pain. These were bodies that he could control from far away. He used his friend Yahikos body for the Deva Path. For the paths he used bodies of ninjas that Jiraiya knew.
The Six Paths of Pain were very powerful. Each body could do something
- The Deva Path could control gravity. It could even make a meteor.
- The Animal Path could summon animals.
- The Human Path could read minds. Take out souls.
- The Preta Path could absorb attacks that used chakra.
- The Asura Path could use machines. Make the body stronger.
- The Naraka Path could summon the King of Hell.
Nagato had a lot of chakra so he could control all six bodies at the time. Nagato thought that the only way to have peace was if everyone felt pain. He wanted to make a weapon to show the world how bad war is.
Then Nagato met Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto was like Nagato when he was younger. Naruto believed in peace. This made Nagato think again. Nagato did not want to hurt anyone
