PreludeBasic Information Name: Uzumaki Nagato Nickname: Pain (ペイン, Pein), God (神, Kami), Child of the Prophecy (予言の子, Yogen no Ko), Saviour of this World (この世の救世主, Kono Yo no

.Looks:
Nagato was a fair - skinned man with chin - length red hair (a colour which is a trademark of the Uzumaki clan) with his most noticeable trait being his Rinnegan eyes. As a child, his hair would regularly hang off his face blocking the view of
his eyes; his normal eyes are never seen.
Personality:
Nagato was a sensitive, kind boy, prone to crying, and was traumatised by the idea of killing others, even if it was to save his friend Yahiko. Scared and unsure of his place in the world, he desired to help those he cared about, but never knew how. He was consistently respectful and kind to Konan, who he claimed to be his "angel" in Amegakure. He was shown protecting her, without request or hesitation from Jiraiya before his battle with his former teacher. Apparently, she was the only Akatsuki member that addressed him by name. He was
aware of Konan's feelings towards Yahiko and left them alone to have personal time together. Because Konohagakure was partly responsible for the tragedies in his life, he held a great deal of animosity towards 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 hated it and his former teacher.

..Background Info. History:
Nagato was a descendant of
the Uzumaki clan. During the Second Shinobi
World War, Nagato lived with his parents in a
village somewhere near Amegakure. One day
two Konoha shinobi broke into their home,
looking for food, unaware that the place was still inhabited. Nagato's parents, believing they
were going to be killed, attacked the two so
that Nagato could escape. Having mistaken
them to be enemy ninja, the Konoha ninja killed
his parents. In his grief, Nagato awakened his
Rinnegan for the first time and killed the assailants. He came to consider this incident as
the first great pain of his life. With his family gone, Nagato wandered the
country, going from house to house asking for
food. In time he met a dog named Chibi and,
later, met Konan and Yahiko, who began
travelling with him in his search for food. One
day, Chibi was killed in the crossfire from Hanzō's fight with several Konoha shinobi.
Nagato and the other orphans later mourned its
death. When the war ended, the three orphans
ran into the Sannin and after hearing Yahiko's
plea, rather than return to Konoha with his
team-mates, Jiraiya decided to teach the three how to look after themselves. Soon after Jiraiya
began living with the orphans, Nagato and
Yahiko were attacked by an Iwagakure ninja.
Nagato reactivated his Rinnegan to defend
Yahiko, killing the ninja. When Jiraiya found out
about this, he decided to train them in ninjutsu. Nagato was very emotional about killing the
ninja, and asked Jiraiya for help so he could
protect Konan and Yahiko. Jiraiya's response
was for Nagato to grow up and to use his eyes
to find the peace that they both desired for
the world. Three years later the orphans had become competent ninja, so Jiraiya returned to
Konoha. Over the years, news of the three's exploits
would reach Jiraiya which often consisted of the
death of someone who opposed them;
eventually he received word that they had all
died. In truth, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko began
a quest to find peace, by forming the organisation Akatsuki with Yahiko as its leader.
They became full-fledged Amegakure ninja and
gathered followers who shared their
philosophies of an end to war. Hanzō, the leader
of Amegakure, viewed the group as a threat to
his rule and schemed with Konoha's Root to eliminate them. Claiming to want to discuss
peace, Hanzō lured Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan
to an ambush. There he forced Nagato to
choose between killing Yahiko or Konan. Not
wanting to force Nagato to make the choice,
Yahiko impaled himself with a kunai that was placed in Nagato's hand. With Yahiko's dying
breath, he told Nagato to survive, because he
believed in Jiraiya's words that Nagato would
become the world's saviour. This incident would
become the second great pain of Nagato's life.
Devastated, Nagato retrieved Konan and Yahiko's body and launched an attack on Hanzō's
men. With the Summoning: Demonic Statue of
the Outer Path he was able to kill all but Hanzō.
History Pain vs Jiraiya
Jiraiya, Nagato's former master, enters the
village through a frog. The moment Jiraiya fully
releases himself from the frog, Nagato feels a
disturbance in the rain. Nagato then orders
Konan to search for the intruder, and stops the
rain. As Konan transforms into many pieces of paper, and folds herself into butterfly-like
figures, Nagato switches from the Deva Path to
the Animal Path. Nagato then searches for
Jiraiya as well. Jiraiya, now hidden inside of a
body, heads more into Amegakure, and Konan
catches him. Jiraiya comes out of the body, and begins to battle Konan. Konan ends up being
covered in oil; unable to battle. Nagato comes
to Konan's rescue and cleans off the oil with
foam with his Summoning Technique. Nagato
then summons a chameleon, and camouflages
himself. Jiraiya sets off the Barrier: Canopy Method Formation, after summoning the
"clumsy" toad: Gamaken. Nagato summons again,
but this time, a multi-headed dog. Jiraiya has a
very hard time fighting these as it would
escape most of Gamaken's attacks, and
somewhat regenerate. Jiraiya finishes off the dogs by trapping them in a toad's stomach and
digesting them. Nagato then summons a drill-
beaked bird. The bird follows Jiraiya and makes
many attempts to kill him, though fails and ends
up getting burned. Nagato then summons a
rhino, though it quickly gets finished off by Gamaken. Nagato then summons a giant ox, and
manages to hit Jiraiya. The shield set off by
Jiraiya self-destructs, sending the ox flying.
Soon after defeating the ox, he completes his
Sage Mode activation and summons Fukasaku
and Shima. They both easily dispose of the chameleon, revealing the Animal Path. The Preta
Path and the Human Path are both summoned,
in order to face Jiraiya. The Human Path
attempts to kill Jiraiya, though it gets blinded
by Jiraiya's kick to its head. Jiraiya then
attempts to burn all three Paths with Sage Art: Goemon, though it gets absorbed by the Preta
Path. Jiraiya then uses Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan,
though it also gets absorbed. The Human Path
attacks once again, and blinded, blocks Jiraiya's
punch. The Animal Path gets distracted by a
toad, and gets attacked by Jiraiya's Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon. The Animal Path blocks the
attack by summoning a giant panda. Jiraiya
analyses their attacks, and escapes into the
pipes. While in the pipes, he concludes that
genjutsu will give him an opening against the
Rinnegan. The Paths then followed Jiraiya, and while doing
so, get caught in genjutsu. Jiraiya then kills the
paths. As Jiraiya leaves, he lets his guard down.
One of the Paths manages to sneak up behind
him, and removes his arm. The other paths come
together, including the ones that got killed (which were rejuvenated by the Naraka Path).
Jiraiya manages to kill the Animal Path, though
ends up being brutally killed by Nagato, through
the Six Paths of Pain. As Jiraiya sinks into the
deep depths of the sea, Nagato holds a
moment of silence in respect for his former master. Capture of Utakata In the anime, after getting a replacement for
the Animal Path, Pain is shown to have been
assigned to capture the Six-Tails, which was
sealed within Utakata, a missing-nin from
Kirigakure. During his search, the Animal Path
had his Giant Multi-Headed Dog scout the area, where it found and killed a group of Kirigakure
hunter-nin led by Tsurugi. When Utakata later
sought out Tsurugi and his men to turn himself
in, he instead found Pain; Pain told Utakata that
he would be needed to create his world, and
informed the jinchūriki that he would be taking the Six-Tails. The Six Paths of Pain quickly
captured him.
Invasion of Pain
With only the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails
remaining, Pain and Konan set out for Konoha.
After eliminating the border guards upon their
arrival, they infiltrated the village and
dispersed, with each of the six Paths having a
specific task: the Asura, Preta, and Animal Paths served as diversions, while the Deva,
Human, and Naraka Paths looked for Naruto, with
Konan aiding the latter team. While exploring
and laying waste to the village and its
inhabitants, the Deva Path was confronted by
Kakashi Hatake. The Asura Path came to its aid and together they overwhelmed Kakashi and his
allies, but the Asura Path was destroyed. Across the village, the remaining Paths
continued their tasks, fighting whatever Konoha
ninja they came across. The Deva Path met with
Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, who refused to
reveal Naruto's location. Elsewhere, the Human
Path used its unique interrogation technique on Shizune to learn that Naruto was at Mount
Myōboku. Declaring that he would teach
Tsunade the pain that Konoha had been so
ignorant of, Nagato had the Deva Path use
Shinra Tensei to obliterate the village while
Konan and the other Paths withdrew. As the smoke cleared, the Deva Path found that
Naruto had returned with his toad allies. In
retaliation for the village's destruction, Naruto
swiftly crushed the newly-restored Asura Path
and began his fight with the remaining Paths of
Pain. The Animal Path called upon its summons to attack Naruto, who parried them with the aid
of his toads and proceeded to defeat the
Preta Path. Soon afterwards, Naruto eliminated
the Human Path with his Wind Release:
Rasenshuriken, and then teamed up with
Gamabunta to defeat the Animal Path. With four of the Paths gone, the temporarily
powerless Deva Path protected the Naraka
Path, which restored the Preta Path. The Preta
Path absorbed a second Rasenshuriken, but it
had only been a diversion to give Naruto an
opportunity to finish off the Naraka Path. The Deva Path, its power returned, detained Naruto
so that the Preta Path could capture him and
absorbed his chakra to immobilise him. Doing so
caused it to absorb senjutsu chakra, which had
the side effect of turning it to stone. Naruto
escaped its clutches, but was seized once again by the Deva Path, who pinned him to the
ground with chakra disruption blades. The Deva
Path lectured Naruto about the chain of hatred,
pain, suffering, and war that the ninja system
brought to the world, and how he planned to
use the tailed beasts' power to achieve peace and end conflict. He asks if Naruto can think of
a better solution, but Naruto does not
respond.Before the Deva Path could take
Naruto away, Hinata Hyūga came to his defence.
When she is apparently killed, Naruto became
enraged and entered his six-tailed form, with which the Deva Path could not compete in its
current condition. The Deva Path retreated to a
location closer to Nagato, who had secluded
himself nearby in order to control the Six Paths
of Pain. This allowed the Deva Path to use
Chibaku Tensei, trapping Naruto in a massive orb of earth and debris. This victory was short-lived,
as Naruto soon progressed to an eight-tailed
form and broke free of the Chibaku Tensei.
Realising that he would have to make the
sphere larger, it suddenly began to crumble and
Naruto, reverting to his normal form, emerged from the ruins. Reflecting on the earlier lecture, Naruto
demanded an opportunity to speak with Nagato,
but was denied and attacked by the Deva Path.
After failing to use Wind Release:
Rasenshuriken twice, by taking advantage of the
five second gap between the Deva Path's ability, Naruto was able to defeat it with a well-
timed Rasengan. He removed one of its chakra
receiver and inserted it into his skin to track
the signal back to Nagato. Naruto goes to see
him, but when he arrives Nagato fires another
chakra receiver at him to try and control him. Naruto resists it despite his close proximity to
Nagato. Although angry with Nagato for killing
Jiraiya and destroying Konoha, Naruto asks how,
as a fellow student of Jiraiya, he 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 his past,
of his two great sorrows and how he came to
believe pain would save the world. Although
Naruto agreed with Nagato's ultimate
conclusion, he rejected it for differing with
Jiraiya's ideals. In doing so, he answered Nagato's earlier question about how to attain
peace: by "breaking the cycle of hatred". He
decided not to attempt to kill Nagato, as that
would only perpetuate the cycle of revenge.
Amazed by Naruto's resolve and remembering
Jiraiya's teachings, Nagato decided to put his faith in Naruto's answer. Nagato used the Outer
Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to
revive all the Konohagakure citizens that had
been killed during his invasion.
Other
Water: Due to his high affinity for All Elemental tech, Nagato is able to use all elemetal jutsu with faster handseals handseal.
Chakra Rods: Nagato mainly uses chakra rod(s) as weapons. They can easily slide from his
sleeve (cloak) and into his palm.
"Those in the ninja world who break the rules and regulations are called filth, but those who don't care about their companions... are even lower than filth."
