This ability is primarily defensive in nature as it is capable of absorbing chakra from an individual through physical contact.

When he was alive, the Preta Path belonged to a [[Preta Path's Former Body|large, bulky man]] from [[Kusagakure]]. The anime showed that he was both a ninja and a farmer who'd failed to cultivate the land for his family due to his participation in the [[Second Shinobi World War]]. The Preta Path, like all of the six paths, possessed Nagato's [[Rinnegan]]. It had orange hair tied in a short ponytail. It had small spike piercings covering its entire bottom lip, two vertical spike studs on the front of his nose, two spike studs (one on each cheek), a metal spike going through each ear, and a stud on his shoulder, one on each side, close to his neck.

This path's "[[Blocking Technique Absorption Seal|Chakra Absorption]]" ability was primarily defensive, since it was capable of absorbing any ninjutsu-related technique, thereby nullifying its effect. This technique could also take the form of a barrier around its body, allowing it to absorb attacks from all directions.

During the [[Fourth Shinobi World War]], Nagato used the Preta Path to absorb [[Killer B]]'s chakra while he was in his Version 2 form. He then apparently used the chakra to revitalise his body to its state before it was emaciated by the [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]]. It also restored his hair colour back from white to red, as well as the damage done to his legs. However, presumably due to loss of [[Wikipedia:Muscle memory|muscle memory]], he was not able to use the legs completely.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 550, pages 17-18</ref>

In addition to its defensive properties, this body's ability had also shown offensive capabilities, as it could absorb all the chakra out of any person that it touched or grabbed.

This article is about information on the ability. For information on the character, see Preta Path.

The Preta Path (餓鬼道, Gakidō) grants the user the ability to absorb chakra in any form. Pain channelled the Preta Path through the corpse of a Kusagakure shinobi.

This ability is primarily defensive in nature as it is capable of absorbing chakra from an individual through physical contact. In addition to this, the Preta Path is able to absorb ninjutsu-based techniques that are pure chakra or chakra based, thereby nullifying their effect. It doesn't absorb physical attacks, like Gaara's sand, but does drain the sand's chakra.[1] This is done by forming a barrier around the user's entire body, allowing them to absorb attacks from all directions.

Although the ability is able to absorb senjutsu chakra, the user is still vulnerable to the effects of turning into a stone statue from absorbing too much of it.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Nagato used the Preta Path to absorb Killer B's chakra while he was in his Version 2 form. He then apparently used the chakra to revitalise his body to its state before it was emaciated by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. It also restored his hair colour back from white to red, as well as the damage done to his legs. However, presumably due to loss of muscle memory, he was not able to use the legs completely.[2]

The Preta are humanoid creatures which are perpetually hungry and thirsty, but are unable to satisfy themselves, living lives similar to those of hopeless addicts trying to appease their unyielding hunger. In appearance, the Preta are deathly pale, emaciated figures, which contrasts with Pain's Preta Path's hefty stature. In Hinduism Preta could also mean ghosts this also relates to the technique the Preta path uses.
