Nagato and the Six Paths of Pain

Born as a member of the Uzumaki clan in the war-torn village of Amegakure, Nagato received Madara Uchiha’s Rinnegan eyes. Orphaned after Konoha ninjas killed his parents, he awakened the Rinnegan and befriended fellow orphans Yahiko and Konan. Trained by Jiraiya, they founded Akatsuki to end war. Betrayed by Hanzo, Yahiko died, leaving Nagato disabled. He controlled Yahiko’s body and five corpses as the Six Paths of Pain, killed Hanzo, and seized Amegakure. As Pain, he led Akatsuki to capture the Nine Tailed Beasts for a weapon to enforce peace. He killed Jiraiya, attacked Konoha for Naruto, but was defeated and redeemed by him, reviving his victims before dying. Later revived as Edo Tensei by Kabuto, he was defeated again by Naruto.
