The Jutsu works even if the user is physically restrained or observed by characters as observant as Sharingan or Sage Mode users.

Additionally, the King of Hell is invisible to everyone other than the victim)

Attack Potency: Varies (Pain's power varies depending on how many bodies are active at a time and how far they are from Nagato) from Large Mountain Level (Even with 6 bodies active and being far away from Nagato, Pain can easily overpower Kakashi, Chōza, and Choji with his Shinra Tensei. With less bodies active, he was able to trade blows with base Naruto, although he wasn't at full capacity yet. Passively manipulates the rain in the Rain village choosing when it should fall (his chakra is imbeded into the droplets]) to Island Level+ (Casually caught a punch from Sage Mode Jiraiya. SM Jiriaya admitted that the three Pains he was facing could kill him if he fought them simultaneously. The Animal Path could stab and wound Sage Mode Jiraiya. He easily dissipated Sage Mode Naruto's FRS with 3 bodies active, and later replicated the feat with one body active while exhausted.), At least Large Island Level with Chaotic Shinra Tensei (Far stronger than his regular attacks; destroyed the entirety of Konoha), Country level with Chibaku Tensei (Strong enough to seal away KN7 Naruto before he went into the 8 tails form; Should be able to easily capture and seal weaker Biju like Matabi) | Country level (Easily overpowered KCM Naruto and Killer B, who needed Itachi to save their lives. Naruto stated that Nagato's power and Jutsu were far greater than Pain's because he wasn't acting through six bodies anymore), far higher with Chaotic Shinra Tensei, at least Country level, likely Country level+ with Chibaku Tensei (took the combined power of Naruto, Killer B and Edo Itachi using their strongest attacks to destroy it)
Speed: Varies from Sub-Relativistic (Can keep up with and overwhelm Kakashi in terms of speed), up to Relativistic+, possibly FTL (can keep up with KN6 Naruto who should be at least comparable to V2 B) | At least Relativistic+, likely FTL (Able to react to and capture Killer B. Reacted to Kcm Naruto)
Lifting Strength: At least Class G (Comparable to Sage Mode Naruto) | At least Class G (Stronger than the Six Paths of Pain)
Striking Strength: Varies from Large Mountain Level (He was able to stab Kakashi. Traded blows with base Naruto) to Island Level+ (easily defeated Jiraiya; He then easily overpowered and stabbed base Naruto, who was previously capable of trading blows with him when more Pains were active, can fight V2 Naruto) | Country Level (Far more powerful than the Six Paths of Pain. He was overpowering KCM Naruto in a soul tug of war, and easily held down Killer B)
Durability: Varies from Large Mountain level (Scales from his striking strength and his peak, where he could somewhat withstand his own Shinra Tensei) to Island Class+ (The Human Path survived a kick from Sage Mode Jiraiya, albeit his eyes were permanently injured, and later on casually caught a punch from Jiraiya. The Preta Path momentarily caught Jiraiya's Chou Odama Rasengan before absorbing it. He withstood a kick from Sage Mode Naruto while having 3 bodies active, though he was sent flying, took a punch from V2 Naruto; He withstood the recoil of his own Shinra Tensei, and even the explosion of Six Tails Naruto's TBB. He later withstood a kick from SM Naruto while extremely low on chakra and fatigued) | Country level (Withstood the initial impact of V2 Bee Lariat before absorbing it)
Stamina: Very high (Has a large reserve of chakra. Has virtually unlimited stamina under the effects of Edo Tensei)
Range: Standard melee range. Several dozens of meters to thousands of kilometers with ranged attacks.
Standard Equipment:
- Black Receivers

Weaknesses: Each body only has a handful of abilities- they're weaker if they're isolated from the others. Deva Realm has a 5-second window between repels. Shinra Tensei drains Deva Realm, and Chou Shinra Tensei temporarily disables all of his bodies, the energy required taking off a portion of Nagato's lifespan. Chibaku Tensei uses up a lot of chakras. | None Notable.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Rinnegan (Saṃsāra Eye): Said to be the most powerful of the Three Great Dōjutsu, the Rinnegan is admired as being able to bring forth all ninjutsu. The holder of these eyes can completely master all five fundamental nature transformations that form the basis of ninjutsu. It also allows the user to use all of the six paths techniques, as well as the seventh path - that is "beyond life and death."
- Rikudō no Jutsu (Six Paths Technique): The power granted by the Rinnegan to manifest the various abilities of the Six Paths. Nagato created the Six Paths of Pain to utilize these techniques through the use of six separate corpse bodies implanted with chakra receivers. These chakra receivers, which take on the appearance of piercings, allow Nagato to control the bodies of Pain freely and utilize a single path ability per body. Each figure has been given its own set of Rinnegan eyes, linking its vision to help eliminate blind spots.
- Tendō (Deva Path): This path grants the user the ability to manipulate gravity to repel or attract objects, using their body as a center point. These techniques cannot be used in quick succession, however, and require a recharge time equal to the power of the previous attack.
- Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push): Deva Path emits a large shock-wave of gravity capable of large scale destruction. If Nagato cuts off chakra to all of the other bodies and focuses it through the Deva Realm, this technique is capable of city-level destruction. The normal Shinra Tensei has a five-second cooldown, while the city level version has a much longer one. The full-powered Shinra Tensei shortens Nagato's life, however, as it causes a massive strain on his main body.
- Banshō Ten'in (Universal Pull): This ability allows Deva Path to manipulate the force of attraction of an object by controlling its gravitational pull. As opposed to Shinra Tensei, which pushes objects away, Banshō Ten'in attracts objects towards the caster.
- Chibaku Tensei (Celestial Star Bursting from the Earth): Deva Realm launches a dark-colored gravity-generating sphere into the air. The orb tears up the local landscape and forms the rocks, dirt, trees, etc. into a mountain-sized ball around it, trapping and crushing anyone who was standing on the scene. If the spherical body at the center is destroyed, the technique will be canceled.
- Chikushōdō (Animal Path): This path gives the Rinnegan user the ability to gather various gigantic immortal creatures into battle. This summoning technique doesn't require the blood of the caster. Each of Pain's summoned creatures has the Rinnegan as well, granting them a shared vision.
- Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique): Animal Realm can summon various giant creatures, including a chameleon that can turn invisible, a dog that multiplies when attacked, a rhino, a bull, a bird, and a panda with high durability properties. He can also assemble all of the Pain bodies, and even subordinates such as Konan at any time. Nagato himself can also convene the Gedo Mazo.
- Ningendō (Human Path): Grants a Rinnegan user the ability to read the mind of a target by placing their hand on the target's head. As a result of this ability, the target's soul is ripped from their body, killing them.
- Kyūkon no Jutsu (Absorption Soul Technique): A soul-sucking technique that rips the soul out of a target's body once Human Path places his hand on the victim's head. Ideal for gathering information as it reads the target's memories; however, the target is killed during the process.
- Gakidō (Preta Path): This path grants the Rinnegan user the ability to absorb chakra. This power can suck the chakra out of ninjutsu, thus rendering such forms of offense futile.
- Fūjutsu Kyūin (Blocking Technique Absorption Seal): An advanced sealing technique unique to Preta Path. This path can absorb all forms of chakra manipulation including nature transformation, and can also drain the chakra out of a target's body by coming in to contact with them. Edo Nagato was able to absorb stolen chakra into his body, which regenerated his withered and weakened state, restoring him to his prime.
- Shuradō (Asura Path): The abilities of this path give the user robotic and cyborg-like qualities. Described as a summoned mechanical body, these augmentations allow Asura Path and Nagato to make use of various advanced weaponry. The machine-like attributes granted by this path allows the user to further transform their body, such as growing additional limbs.
- Chakra Propulsion Cannon: The Asura Path allows the user to transform a part of their body into a laser cannon. Asura Path can open up his head to reveal a laser apparatus which can destroy an area at least as large as a city block. Edo Nagato can use this ability to transform one of his arms into a laser cannon.
- Asura Path Missiles: Asura Path stores various missiles throughout his body, such as a dozen in his right arm and one located near his back. Once fired, these missiles can lock on to a target via a homing mechanism, and can cause massive building level explosions once detonated.
- Arm Cannon: Due to his body augmentation attributes, Asura Path can detach his lower arm and fire it with incredible force and speed. The power is enough to level a large building, and the detached arm can be called back and reattached via chakra.
- Mecha Augmentation: The mechanized portions of Asura Path allows him to transform his body into a shape best suited for combat. This path can grow up to six arms and three faces, plus a two-meter long razor blade tail with serrated edges.
- Jigokudō (Naraka Path): A path in which its powers allow the user to call forth the King of Hell. The entity known as the King of Hell takes the shape of a large head surrounded by dark flames, and also sports the Rinnegan, giving it shared vision among the rest of Pain's bodies and summons.
- Mind Violation Judgment: To initially cause the King of Hell to appear, Naraka Path must first grab his target. Once the King of Hell is in the presence of the victims, they will then succumb to paralysis, leaving them open to interrogation, pulling out their life essence in the shape of an elongated blob. The King of Hell will open its mouth and extend a long, tentacle-like arm that will proceed to grab on to the victim's life force and pass judgment.
- Naraka Path Revival Technique: Naraka Path can repair damage to any of the bodies of the Six Paths of Pain, which have been rendered unusable. The damaged body will be ingested into the King of Hell's mouth and restored over a short period.
- Gedō (Outer Path): The seventh path, an ability granted to a wielder of the Rinnegan, allows the user to control the flow of life and death. The user can also perform the Mazō no Kusari (Demonic Statue Chain) technique, which manifests extraordinary chains made out of chakra that is powerful enough to bind several tailed beasts. The most exceptional ability of this path is the Rinne Tensei no Jutsu (Saṃsāra of Heavenly Life Technique), which can resurrect the dead.
- Rinne Tensei no Jutsu (Saṃsāra of Heavenly Life Technique): This ability merges the crossroads between life and death. Using the power of the King of Hell, the caster can infuse life force energy into the bodies of beings who have passed on. It does so by summoning souls back from the afterlife and placing them back into their physical bodies. This technique requires a massive amount of chakra to perform. Weakened Nagato activated this Jutsu after his long battle against Naruto and died shortly after its casting due to severe physical strain.
- Tendō (Deva Path): This path grants the user the ability to manipulate gravity to repel or attract objects, using their body as a center point. These techniques cannot be used in quick succession, however, and require a recharge time equal to the power of the previous attack.
- Suiton (Water Release): One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allow the user to control pre-existing water, or create their own, by turning their chakra into water. It takes much higher skill to create the liquid than to manipulate what is already available and expel it via the mouth. One of the most versatile of the five essential chakra natures, Water Release techniques can not only change shape but the state as well.
- Suiton: Mizurappa (Water Release: Wild Water Wave): The user of this Jutsu gathers water-infused chakra and expels it from their mouth. This wave takes the shape of a crashing waterfall as it is blasted towards the target.
- Futon (Wind Release): One of the five fundamental elemental nature transformations. It is performed by making chakra as sharp and thin as possible. Wind Release is mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques that combine brute force and keen precision to deliver cutting and slashing damage. Wind techniques are usually performed by generating air circulation and can be enhanced through this method as well. Wind-natured chakra can also be channeled into blades to increase their cutting power and overall range.
- Futon: Reppūshō (Wind Release: Gale Palm): Nagato can perform this technique by clapping his hands together, causing the air to compress and form a destructive gale. The force of this wind chakra can increase the effectiveness of ranged weapons such as shuriken and kunai by increasing their travel speed.
- Chakra Sensing Technique: A skill used by sensor type shinobi to detect a person's chakra signal.
