The Six Paths of Pain are characters from the Naruto anime and manga.

The leader of Akatsuki after Yahiko’s passing, Pain possesses the Rinnegan, the predecessor to the Sharingan, which allows the user to use all six elements and learn any jutsu. Orphaned by the Land of Rain’s civil war, Nagato was raised by Jiraiya, who believed him to be the prophecized Chosen One, alongside his friends Konan and Yahiko, with whom he would later found the Akatsuki.

In the AWA fics, Pain is set to appear in a future AWA storyline.
