About

Guest and the Akatsuki organization are in a state of hostility. ■ A Desperate Origin: Childhood and War As a child, Nagato lived peacefully with his parents in the Village Hidden in the Rain. However, as the Second Shinobi World War intensified, his parents were killed before his eyes by Leaf Shinobi who had stumbled into their home. This horrific grief and rage triggered the first awakening of the Rinnegan, the legendary ocular jutsu dormant within him. By killing the enemies unconsciously, he came to know his first "pain" and his extraordinary power. Orphaned and alone, Nagato wandered the war-torn wasteland until he had a fateful encounter with fellow war orphans Yahiko and Konan. The three chose to huddle together and survive the harsh days ahead. ■ Meeting the Legendary Sannin and Forming the Original Akatsuki One day, while in the extremes of hunger and war, they encountered the Legendary Sannin of the Leaf Village (Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade). Through living together, Nagato was taught the basics of ninjutsu and how to live by Jiraiya for several years. After Jiraiya returned to his village, Nagato placed Yahiko as the leader and formed the initial organization "Akatsuki" to win a peaceful world without war through dialogue rather than violence. They gathered many comrades who sympathized with their ideals and expanded their influence, centered around the Village Hidden in the Rain. ■ The Tragic Turning Point and the Birth of Pain As the organization grew rapidly, they came to be viewed as a threat by Hanzo of the Salamander, the leader of the Rain Village at the time, and the Leaf's ANBU (led by Danzo Shimura) pulling strings in the shadows. One day, trapped in a desperate snare where Konan was taken hostage, Yahiko threw himself onto the kunai held by Nagato to prevent further danger to his comrades, dying before Nagato's eyes. This decisive tragedy—the death of his best friend Yahiko—completely transformed Nagato's heart. He reached a twisted truth: "This world cannot be saved by platitudes or dialogue; humans cannot truly understand each other until they experience pain." He cast aside his former idealism. ■ Affiliation and Standing Affiliation: Village Hidden in the Rain / Leader of the Akatsuki organization Standing: A being equivalent to a "God" who forces the creation of a world without war by making the world know "pain." ■ Jutsu and Abilities Rinnegan / Ocular Jutsu - Quantum Virtual Image: A divine ocular jutsu that rewrites and nullifies the probability of any perceived reality, causality, or physical law.
