Character Description: Pain
Pain's true name is Nagato, and he originates from the Village Hidden in Rain. As a boy, he possessed a kekkei genkai called the Rinnegan Eye, which is a form of Doujutsu that allows the possessor to perform any ninja technique. When he was just a genin, Jiraiya came to his village to help the them prepare for an upcoming war. Jiraiya took a liking to Nagato and his two teammates, Konan and Yahkio, so he helped them train. Jiraiya had also seen that Nagato had the special Rinnegan Eye ability, and helped him develop it as much as he could.
Jiraiya had been under the impression that Nagato was the child destined to change the world, but when Jiraiya left the village, Yahiko was killed, and Nagato came to desire bringing peace by educating people in the suffering that results from war. And thus, he adopted the name "Pain". He then proceeded to gather a few other Rain ninja, including teammate Konan, and started a war with a man named Sanshuoo no Hanzou.
After killing the village leader, Hanzou, and all of Hanzou's friends, family, and associates, Pain became the new leader of the village. To further the image of being god-like, Pain used the jutsu he created to animate six corpses, Yahiko's among them, to serve as his acting vessels, the "Six Paths of Path". Each Path was a master of a form of Jutsu used by Ninja, allowing a decripitized Pain to hide in the shadows and manipulate his puppet bodies.
After a while, Pain and Konan go to Madara Uchiha, the current leader and founder of the Akatsuki Organization. They become members of the Akatsuki, and eventually Pain becomes the leaderhead of the organization.
Shortly after receiving orders from Madara to go after Naruto, Pain encounters his old mentor, Jiraiya, though he does so in the form of his old teammates body, Yahiko. Needless to say, Jiraiya is shocked when he faces Yahiko. Unfortunately, Jiraiya has to take on all six of Pain's bodies, and it is too much for him. With his dying breath from fighting all six powerful opponents at the same time, Jiraiya sent what he learned and Animal Pain's immobilized body to Tsunade to study.
Once animating a new corpse, Pain makes his way to Konoha to start a war with the Leaf Ninja. He kills many before Naruto arrives. Then, after Naruto manages to take out four of the six bodies, Pain attempts to make Naruto understand his ideology by critically injuring Hinata. Nagato nearly succeeded in having Naruto be consumed by the Nine-Tailed Fox and know his pain, but the scheme fails with the death of the last Path (Deva).
In the episodes and the manga it's said that he uses the rain to sense his opponent's chakra or presence.

Um actually. this "Hanzo" guy was the real culprit behind the war. when Yahiko, nagato and Konan formed a sort of group and became well known in the village, he was afraid that he might be beaten by the three. Yahiko was the leader of the group at the time. Hanzo then offered to make a peace treaty to the group and told them to come to a certain place in ame, but when the group arrived, hanzo aztually kidnapped Konan before and he told them that if Nagato doesnt kill yahiko, he will kill Konan who was a hostage. Konan told them to go and Nagato could not decide on what to do. so Yahiko placed a Kunai onto Nagato's hand and killed himself to save Konan.
after that Nagato saved Konan and killed hanzo. then Nagato and Konan formed a new team along with the dead Yahiko. Nagato used his body as a vessel for his deva path and together with konan, they created the akatsuki. and this all happened after jiraiya left them. he became the leader of ame of course.
and during the war between the leaf and akatsuki. Pein gave up to Naruto and agreed on Naruto's dream for peace of the word. nagato gave up his life to resurrect all those that he killed, as a form of apologizing for his sins. Which explains that Shizune was alive after that, although Jiraiya being alive was not revealed. So in short, Nagato is actually a good guy and Konan respects him because he saved her and they had been together for a long time now...(I really love this pairing........).
the article is not exactly clear, and i hope you can change it and specify that Nagato is actually a good guy and that it was hanzo's fault in the first place. thankies!!! for more references regarding Naruto characters, please visit naruto(dot)wikia(dot)com
Thank you very much. ... show more »
