Why did Madara give his Rinnegan to Nagato?

[Sanguis]

I don't know if I have missed something in the Manga but why Nagato? is it because he was a Uzumaki? Surely there could of been better candidates then him, right?

[Uchiha Hinrik]

He had powerfull life force that could withstand the rinnegan and he also suffered a traumatic experience when he was a kid so he was easy to manipulate.

[Odd One]

Uzumaki kids can handle the rinenngan. That's why.

[badoera]

uzumaki have a huge life force + he must've seen 'something' in that kid I guess, some talent? i dont know

[Senpai1507]

senju lineage

[LssJBroly]

Nagato was best option.

[Carlhens]

Maybe he saw the same thing in Obito

[Kira was Righteous]

Nagato has huge chakra reserves,hatred of the hidden leaf and is descended from the Senju

[SoulKiller]

Because he can

[muutobirama3rdraikagemizu]

Senagato is part senju

+ only 1 after madara who could handle gedo mazou good.. said by obito or madara can't remember..

[deyoers]

probably madara already knew that uchiha and senju came from one lineage. SO6P was an uzumaki, and he was able to wield the rinnegan. that was why when he had children, some became the senju, some were uchiha. when madara found out, he met this kid, nagato, who suffered a traumatic experience, he knew he would be easily manipulated. he then entrusted his rinnegan to him.

No it is because nagato is from senju linage

[lucky3able]

Dude didn't u c how the guy handled that power? He used his anger as power plus he was an uzumaki

[vVTensaZangetsuVv]

am i the only one that knows that Madara implanted those eyes when Nagato was a BABY??

[dirklyn]

Enough said ppl, his question is bn answered a lot time ago...

[Piratefish]

He was geentically capable of handling the eyes, plus, he wasn't a Senju. Madara hated Senju's, and they hated him. Stealing a baby from them would have been harder, too.

[sindi1997]

Its because nagato was the only one with big enough chakra reserves to summon gedo mazo and on top off that he was uzumaki he has absolute life force which makes hims almost imposible to kill he revived most of konoha with the last remening part of his chakra imagine all his chakra at full O.O and because he is from the uzumaki makes him a senju too since uzumaki and senju are distanced related along with the uchiha eyes he could not only summon gedo mazo but even control it he was perfect

[lsgteam]

Obito seems to be a good candidate for the Rinnegan as well, why didnt Madara give his eyes to Obito? That was way safer
