Changes: Asura Path

Revision as of 23:32, 17 July 2014

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

The Asura Path (修羅道, Shuradō) grants the user the ability to summon mechanised armour, augmenting their body with extra limbs and various mechanical weaponry.^[1] In life, Nagato channelled the Asura Path through the body of a ninja puppeteer.

Usage

Through the Asura Path, the user is able to form up to four additional arms and two additional faces, as well as a folded, serrated blade-like sash around their waist. These additional appendages, as well as the user's body as a whole, are augmented with a variety of mechanical weaponry, which they can access at will. The user can fire their forearms as long-range projectiles or pull them off to reveal and fire a cluster of segmented missiles at targets. They are also able to protrude a set of flexible blades and drills or a series of mechanical tendrils from their arms, as well as quickly propel themselves forward by emitting a burst of chakra from holes in their feet. The user can also release a powerful chakra blast, which is capable of destroying numerous buildings at once, either by transforming one of their hands into a cannon or by opening the crown of their head.

The body through which Nagato channelled the Asura Path displayed enough raw physical power to rip Jiraiya's arm off and crush his throat with basic taijutsu, as well as to throw the Animal Path all the way into Konohagakure from the outskirts of the village. Additionally, the Asura Path was able to survive otherwise fatal damage due to its mechanised insides. All of these abilities befitted the "warring demon" name that the Asura Path held, whilst giving it a considerable degree of versatility.

Mechanisms

Influences

In Buddhism, the Asura realm is the plane of semi-divine warring demons which people are reincarnated in due to actions based on jealousy, struggle, combat or rationalisation in a previous life. Following a common depiction of Asura, this ability allows the user to possess six arms and three faces, each of which display a different emotion. Like Deva, Asura are also a race of supernatural beings. They are featured in Hinduism as a type of demon and are known to live a life pursuing power. Both depictions play in the abilities of the Asura Path.

+== Usage ==
-This ability grants the user mechanised weaponry and abilities. The user gains six arms and three faces, and had a folded, serrated blade-like sash around its waist. It could also protrude a similar set of flexible blades from one of its arms. It could [[Flaming Arrow of Amazing Ability|fire one of its left forearms off as a long-range projectile]], and could [[Flaming Arrow Missiles|pull out his arms to reveal and fire a cluster of segmented missiles]] at its targets. It could [[Chakra Propulsion|quickly propel itself forward with a burst of chakra from its boots]], and could protract multiple blades and drills from its right arm in combat. Also, it could [[Chakra Explosion|open up the crown of its head to release a powerful chakra blast]] that was capable of destroying numerous buildings at once. Its physical raw power was enough to rip Jiraiya's arm off and crush his throat with basic taijutsu moves, as well as to throw the [[Animal Path]] all the way into [[Konohagakure]] from the outskirts of the village. All of these abilities befitted the "warring demon" name that the Asura Path held, whilst giving it a considerably higher degree of versatility than the other paths had (aside from the [[Deva Path]]).

+The body through which Nagato channelled the Asura Path displayed enough raw physical power to rip [[Jiraiya]]'s arm off and crush his throat with basic [[taijutsu]], as well as to throw the [[Second Animal Path (character)|Animal Path]] all the way into [[Konohagakure]] from the outskirts of the village. Additionally, the Asura Path was able to survive otherwise fatal damage due to its mechanised insides. All of these abilities befitted the "warring demon" name that the Asura Path held, whilst giving it a considerable degree of versatility.
-In addition to its immense offensive power, the Asura Path's body was incredibly resilient to damage. It survived the detonation of a [[Lightning Release Shadow Clone]], a massive punch from [[Chōza Akimichi]], and a direct hit from Kakashi's [[Lightning Cutter]]. When weakened but not completely disabled, the Asura Path was still dangerous. Kakashi noted that he did not have enough chakra or stamina to completely destroy its body and it wasn't until Naruto attacked it with a [[Rasengan]] while in [[Sage Mode]] that it was rendered totally incapacitated. Despite being used frequently to provide heavy firepower, the Asura Path was readily sacrificed to protect the even more powerful Deva Path, acting as a human shield against [[Kakashi]]'s Lightning Cutter.

-During Naruto's battle with Nagato, a set of the Asura Path's arms appeared on Nagato's body, possibly alluding that Asura Path's structure may be its actual powers rather than it completely being body modifications. One of the arms could detach to reveal a set of mechanical tendrils to restrain an enemy, while the other would transform into a small arm-mounted cannon.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 551, pages 6-7</ref>
