Changes: Animal Path

Revision as of 11:51, 10 September 2014

This article is about information on the ability. For information on the characters, see Animal Path. For other uses, see Animal Path (disambiguation).

The Animal Path (畜生道, Chikushōdō) grants a Rinnegan user the ability of summoning various animals and creatures to aid it in battle. These creatures appear to be immortal, as they were killed and later summoned again. Worthy of note, summoning creatures through the Animal Path require no blood sacrifice or hand seals. The Animal Path can also summon people; that of which requires hand signs, as in the case of Nagato's Paths and Konan. Tactics wise, the Animal Path's primary role in battle appears to consist on overwhelming multiple opponents with a barrage of summons.

In the case of Nagato, having originally channelled the Animal Path through the corpse of a Fūma clan shinobi and then the corpse of a young woman in life, the creatures summoned appear to have undergone the same modifications as his Paths of Pain, having chakra receivers embedded in their bodies. As they also display the Rinnegan, the creatures serve as extensions of Nagato.^[1] During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Nagato used his summons for transport before being rejuvenated to move on his own power.

Summons

Influences

Buddhists believe that animals inhabit a different dimension separated from humans not spatially but mentally; an unhappy plane of rebirth which revolves around fear, instinct and survival of the fittest, suffered by those animals that work for humans and, above all, by those ignorant to what is happening to them.

-This body belonged to a [[First Animal Path's Former Body|member]] of the [[Fūma clan]], due to this many citizens of Amegakure believed Pain to be from the Fūma clan. The first Animal Path, like all of the Six Paths, possessed Nagato's [[Rinnegan]]. It had orange hair, which was a light green colour while it was alive, tied back in a long ponytail with a fringe hanging down from the right side of its head. It had a large bridge piercing through its upper nose which was attached on each cheek with a circular stud, one stud on its upper nose, six studs around the bottom of its face, and one stud on each ear. It does not have eyebrows. While being examined by Konoha, the body was shown to have multiple piercings on its chest and legs as well.
-=== Second Animal Path ===

-The body of the second Animal Path belonged to a [[Second Animal Path's Former Body|young girl]], making it Pain's only female body. Like the first Animal Path, it possessed Nagato's Rinnegan. It had orange hair tied together in a sort of onion-like bun at the top of the head, with spikes of hair protruding out of it. It had one stud above the nose, studs on either side of the neck, a row of studs vertically down each cheek, a stud below each stud on the neck, two studs on each forearm.
-=== Abilities ===
-The Animal Path's main abilities revolved around [[Summoning Technique|summoning]] various animals and creatures to aid it in battle. Each creature served a different purpose in battle, much like every Path of Pain was also different from the others. Each animal summon also has the [[Rinnegan]] and as such Nagato is able to see through their eyes as well.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 551, page 6</ref> Each animal had various body piercings as well, suggesting that they too were under his control.

-Tactics wise, the Path's primary role in battle appeared to be overwhelming multiple opponents with its summons. In addition to that, both bodies used for this Path were of a smaller stature than the other five, which, coupled with Pain's tendency to use his Asura Path to throw the second Animal Path in order to reach far off locations and infiltrate Konoha, as well as Pain's decision to first confront Jiraiya with the first Animal Path body, suggests that it acted as both a scout, as well as a way for Pain to move around the battlefield quickly through summons. Worthy of note, the Animal Path requires no blood sacrifice or hand seals when summoning creatures, but uses hand seals to summon the other Paths. It can summon Konan as well. The second Path possessed some ability with taijutsu, able to clash with [[Naruto Uzumaki]] for a short time despite him being in [[Sage Mode]].

-* The second Animal Path is the only Pain to have a different voice from the other one's, due to it being female.
