Personality: Nagato was a sensitive but kind boy, prone to crying, and was traumatized by the idea he had killed another man, even to save his friend Yahiko. Scared and unsure of his place in the world, he desired to help those he cared about, but never knew how. Nevertheless, he was a talented and gifted student, mastering every technique Jiraiya had taught him.
As Pain, his personality was very different, having become a calm, serious, aloof, and detached man. Apparently believing traumas he experienced in his youth had enlightened him to the true meaning of pain and suffering, he considered himself a deity, and believed he had evolved beyond a mere human being. He sought to show the world the meaning of pain by using an ultimate weapon to deter future wars, by means similar to "mutually assured destruction", and showed no moral qualms about his actions. He was also willing to kill his own teacher,
Jiraiya, in cold blood, and brutally executed all of
Hanzō's friends and family to ensure Amegakure's compliance to his takeover. He even went so far as to proclaim himself a "god of peace", that had to guide the world to maturity through pain. Finally, he felt that no-one could understand true peace unless they understood "true" pain, something his childhood friend Yahiko believed.
Minato Namikaze believed Madara Uchiha to have been using this philosophy in his favour, in order to manipulate Nagato.
Pain also held hatred for Konoha, because, during the war between
Konohagakure and
Amegakure, his parents died by the hands of two Konoha ninjas. Nagato's hatred was quelled when he met Jiraiya, who gave him a new goal in life: to protect his friends. However, when
Danzo teamed up with Hanzō and forced him to kill Yahiko, Nagato realized that his goal was worthless, and hated Konoha even more, to the point of losing his affections for Jiraiya.
Nonetheless, he was seen to be quite respectful, particularly to the fallen and the dead. Given the Akatsuki members' frequent bickering, he often restrained them, and encouraged better relations among members. He even suggested that they mourn for
Deidara after his passing, and reprimanded
Kisame for calling
Hidan and
Kakuzu the "Zombie Brothers". After his battle with Jiraiya, he held a moment of silence for his former teacher, out of respect for his power.
Pain was also very respectful and kind to his childhood friend, Konan, who he claimed to be his "angel" in Amegakure. He was shown protecting her, without request or hesitation, from Jiraiya, before his battle with his former teacher. Apparently, she was the only Akatsuki member that addressed him by his names, Pain and Nagato.
Clan: Fuuma
Bio: During one of the great shinobi wars in
Amegakure, two Konoha shinobi broke into Nagato's house looking for food, thinking that the house had been abandoned. His parents, believing they were going to be killed, attacked the two strangers so Nagato could escape. Thinking that they were enemy ninja, the Konoha shinobi killed Nagato's parents, prompting Nagato to awaken his Rinnegan and dispose of the intruders. He would come to consider this incident the first great pain of his life.
Having no-one left to call family, Nagato left his home after burying his parents, and began wandering aimlessly with nothing but a few supplies, along with meeting and befriending a stray dog, which he named 'Chibi'. He later grouped up with fellow orphans,
Konan and
Yahiko, and they looked after each other.One day, the three friends got caught in the crossfire of a battle between the Legendary
Sannin and
Hanzō, resulting in Chibi dying in Nagato's arms. This infuriated Yahiko, to the point of declaring that he would become a god to stop all madness, which eventually became Nagato's desire.
After the Great War ended, Nagato and his friends met the
Sannin, who at first were less than willing to help them.
Orochimaru even suggested to kill them, as they were orphans of war, and as such would only live their lives full of misery.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, decided that he would take care of them, to compensate for what the Sannin did.
One night, at dinner, Nagato cried because eating together with his master and friends reminded him of his family. Later that night, he ran away with Yahiko. The two were attacked by an
Iwagakure chunin, who injured Yahiko. To his horror, Nagato activated his
Rinnegan, and killed the ninja. When Jiraiya found out about this, he decided to train them in
ninjutsu.Nagato was very emotional about killing the ninja, and asked Jiraiya for help so he could protect Konan and Yahiko. Jiraiya's response was for Nagato to grow up. He also revealed the truth behind Nagato's Rinnegan: that his eyes might be the key to finding the peace they both desired for the world.
After three years, Jiraiya felt they were strong enough to fend for themselves, so he began to head home. Jiraiya believed Nagato to have later died with the other orphans under unexplained circumstances,but had told Konan that, whenever their names were mentioned outside their village, it was always about someone being killed when they opposed them.
In truth, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko began a quest to find the peace that they desired, just as Jiraiya had done. While becoming full-fledged Rain ninja, they followed their own path, and began gathering several supporters, with Yahiko as their leader. Unfortunately, then
Amegakure leader,
Hanzō, viewed Yahiko's gang as a threat to his position as leader and schemed with
Danzo and Konoha's
Foundation to eliminate them. Luring Yahiko's group into a trap under the guise of three-way peace talks with the
Land of Fire,
Land of Wind, and
Land of Earth, Hanzō took Konan hostage, and used her life as a bargaining chip to try and force Nagato to kill Yahiko. Faced with a horrible decision, and with both Konan and Yahiko showing their willingness to die for the sake of the other, Nagato struggled with himself, until Yahiko physically forced Nagato to kill him by placing the kunai in his hand and guiding it. With Yahiko's dying breath, he told Nagato to survive, because he believed in Jiraiya's words that Nagato would become the world's saviour. This would become the second great pain of Nagato's life.
After Yahiko's death, Hanzō ordered his shinobi to kill Nagato as well, but Nagato managed to unleash his
Shinra Tensei to repel their kunai. As Nagato rescued Konan, Hanzō captured him with
exploding tags, severely burning his legs and hands in the resulting explosion. However, Nagato continued to hold his ground, and returned Konan to safety, telling her to take hold of Yahiko's body. Nagato then performed
Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, despite Konan's pleas, and used the Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seal statue to decimate both Hanzō and Danzo's forces. The technique didn't kill Hanzō and Danzo, as they were able to flee. However, it left Nagato emaciated, with numerous chakra rods embedded in his back, which, along with the injuries from the explosion, seemed to necessitate his future use of a robotic transport. Leadership of the gang passed on to Nagato as he scratched through the symbol of his Amegakure forehead protector, presumably indicating both the origin of the rebellion that would lead to civil war, and the beginning of his teaching of enlightenment through pain.
Upon adopting the alias "Pain", Nagato led the rebelling forces in the Amegakure civil war, and took control of the village by assassinating Hanzō, then solidified his leadership by systematically killing anyone who had direct ties to the former leader. Pain and his faction then wore their forehead protectors with scratches through them (a practice shared by the members of
Akatsuki), to symbolize their rebellion, and continued to wear them even after gaining control of the country, despite no longer being labeled as
missing-nin, to symbolize their victory in the conflict.
