The Six Paths of Pain.

"Sometimes.. you must hurt in order to know. Fall in order to grow. Lose in order to gain, because life's greatest lessons are learned through pain." — Uzumaki, Nagato. Leader of the Akatsuki. » Selective. » Independent portrayal. » Mature themes / MDNI. » #MVRP • #NRP

"A god of peace, who serves justice."

"I'm looking for a man named Danzo.."

"The red clouds on our cloaks symbolize the blood spilled by the innocent people of our country during your wars. The Akatsuki will see them avenged."

"I have subordinates who depend on me. I won't abandon them."

"All is meaningless before overwhelming power. Over the many years the five great nations have proven as much."

"Akatsuki.. There's not enough money coming in."

"I have evolved beyond humanity."

"It seems Orochimaru continues to slither about.."

It's the Human Path's turn to serve and watch over the village today. The others will be given rest for now.

"In this shinobi world.. pain must become a necessity."

"Justice will be served, Konan, we will accomplish what Jiraiya-sensei could not. It is all that matters."

"I have yet to start. I didn't expect you to be interested, however.."

"Deidara.. My aim is to bring enlightenment."

"Konan... The heart of our organization."

"Deidara.." Pain turned his head to gaze at his fellow Akatsuki member, now eyeing him with his usual emotionless expression. "You've never expressed much interest in our true objective, I wouldn't expect you to be now."

"Now.. Who wants to learn about pain?"

Pain is out on a walk through the war-torn countryside surrounding the village. Taking in the grim sights as he goes which only further strengthened his resolve.
