He is highly sensitive about it and dislikes when someone criticizes his beliefs, or believes in something else. He makes a point in teaching suffering to anyone he speaks to, making sure that they would see what they hold dear destroyed before their very eyes. He believes that no-one can understand the value of peace without first experiencing first-hand the horror of war. More importantly, Pain made Yahiko’s principle of the “understanding of suffering” into the very core of his philosophy. He is often seen paying respect for the fallen, ally and enemy alike. He genuinely praises his foes’ merits and shows a real appreciation for his subordinates, stepping in to stop squabbles and disrespect among them.

Despite this, he always speaks courteously even to people of the Great Nations. He heavily despises the five Great Ninja Nations, for building their prosperity on the tragedies they inflicted on smaller nations like his own, and cannot stand their speeches about peace, which he considers as a patronizing aggression.

Due to the tragedies he has suffered, he has grown heavily disillusioned, and openly scorns Jiraiya’s ideals of mutual understanding as a pointless delusion. Moreover, he mercilessly destroys all opposition and obstacles, killing thousands without batting an eyelid, even when said obstacle is his former teacher. He is extremely composed and indifferent, barely showing surprise even when Naruto drove him to a corner. He believes that the suffering he experienced enlightened him, making him rise above humanity toward godhood. He regarded his friends and his master as examples and worked hard to emulate them admiring Yahiko's strong-will and determination and calling Konan his "angel".Īs Pain, he has become serious, aloof, cynical, brutal and relentless. Due to his past, he had a strong distrust towards Konoha ninjas, but would form a close bond with Jiraiya. He heavily disliked the prospect of killing, even to save his friends, but wanted nothing more to protect them and to make the world a better place for everyone. Nagato was once a kind, emotional and sensitive boy, very quiet, withdrawn and prone to crying. But just because you understand them doesn't mean you can come to an agreement. If you don't share someone's pain, you can never understand them. Their bodies and face are covered with black, piercing-like Chakra Receivers that Nagato uses to transmit his chakra to them, and to perceive what they see and hear. The Six Paths of Pain all look like the people they once were, but they all share Yahiko’s ginger hair, Nagato’s Rinnegan eyes and the Akatsuki black cloak covered with red clouds.

He uses a six-legged walking machine for mobility, he has many Chakra Rods implanted into his back, and many smaller Chakra Receivers into his arms, which he keeps his forearms in a device in his walker to transmit his chakra toward long distances. Getting crippled at the hands of Hanzō, and subsequently summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, left him horribly frail, skinny, emaciated and shriveled. His most noticeable trait is his Rinnegan Eyes, of purplish grey colour, with several circles around a small pupil. Nagato was once a well-built man with pale skin, chin-length hair of the Uzumaki clan’s trademark dark red colour, clad in long dark cloaks.
