Naraka Path

The anime depicts him in life as a tall, thickset figure with grey hair and grey eyes, dressed in a green poncho-style garment over trousers of the same shade. Like the Kusagakure shinobi who also became one of the Six Paths, his skin was distinctly darker while he still lived. Once he was made into the Naraka Path, his hair took on an orange dye and piercings covered his body: a ring stud across the bridge of the nose, a slanted line of studs on each cheek, three spike piercings in each ear, and a stud near the neck on each shoulder. The Rinnegan filled his eyes as the sign of Nagato's control.

In his priestly life he urged his followers toward prayer and struck those around him as calm and even-tempered. Devotion to his faith defined him, and he carried himself with the steady composure of a genuinely religious man.

He tended a village that had been reduced to ash, and it was there that Jiraiya crossed paths with him during the search for the disciple of prophecy. Long afterward, Nagato took possession of his body to give form to the Naraka Path within the Six Paths of Pain. According to his Naruto Mobile profile, he had in life led an unknown cult and worked as an intelligence gatherer and support element for the Six Paths, and in his reanimated role he could push chakra into a target through contact to trigger an explosion.

As part of that formation, the Naraka Path served many purposes across the years. Together, all six Paths were turned against Hanzo to overthrow and kill him. When Jiraiya slipped into Amegakure seeking intelligence on Akatsuki, the Naraka Path fought him and helped bring about his death. In the anime it aided in capturing the Six-Tails, and during Pain's Assault it fought alongside the other Paths before Naruto Uzumaki defeated it as he did the rest.
