Shikamatsu (Done)

he Deva Path's main abilities revolved around manipulating gravity, allowing it to repel or attract objects or people. However, it could not perform these techniques in rapid succession, leaving it vulnerable for a short period of time after their use. This period of time between usages varied from five seconds to several minutes, depending upon the force of the repulsion or attraction that the Deva Path had used.[2][3][4] When performing a large-scale attack, Nagato had to first sever his connections with the other paths and then employ his chakra only to the Deva Path for the attack. However this is considerably risky as the other Pains were healing considerably sluggishly when the Naraka Path administered his jutsu. The Deva Path's Chibaku Tensei allowed it to release a black orb of energy that could attract all surrounding matter to form a huge makeshift terrestrial body.

In addition to gravity manipulation, the Deva Path could also inexplicably use a number of other miscellaneous jutsu, something none of the other bodies had been shown doing. It could use the Shapeshifting Technique to make body doubles of others with human sacrifices. It could also control rain, a possible throwback to Yahiko (who wanted to be able to stop the rain in Amegakure), which even allowed him to sense the chakra of everyone in Amegakure, making stealthy entrances by enemies impossible.

Another inexplicable ability of the Deva Path included the Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals, which Akatsuki used to seal the tailed beasts. The members would convene to forcibly extract the beast from its host's body over a three day period (depending on the number of people assisting with the sealing), and would then store it in a giant statue. He was not the only one who could use this technique, however. Madara Uchiha (as Tobi) and the remaining Akatsuki members have been shown to initiate the extraction without using the Deva Path when it was occupied with invading Konoha.

The Animal Path's main abilities revolved around summoning various animals and creatures to aid it in battle. Each creature served a different purpose in battle, much like every path of Pain was also different from the others. Each animal summon also shared Nagato's Rinnegan and had various body piercings as well, suggesting that they too were under his control.

Tactics wise, the path's primary role in battle appeared to be overwhelming multiple opponents with its summons. In addition to that, both bodies used for this path were of a smaller stature than the other five, which, coupled with Pain's tendency to use his Asura Path to throw the second Animal Path in order to reach far off locations and infiltrate Konoha, as well as Pain's decision to first confront Jiraiya with the first Animal Path body, suggests that it acted as both a scout, as well as a way for Pain to move around the battlefield quickly through summons.

However, no blood sacrifice has been made when performing a Summoning Technique.

During Pain's battle with Jiraiya, the Human Path's eyes were damaged and it was left unable to see. For this reason, it used only taijutsu during the battle. The Human Path was later shown to have the capability of mind reading simply by placing its hand over the target's head, and could extort any information or secret being hidden by the victim against his/her will. The most powerful and lethal ability possessed by the Human Path was its power to remove its target's soul by ripping it out of his/her body, thus killing the victim.

Despite its lethal ability, Nagato deemed the Human Path less important than Animal Path, as he sacrificed it to get the Animal Path out of Naruto's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken's radius, having the path ripped to bits

Preta Path is originally from Kusagakure but when he had crossed paths with Shika he had been killed and taken. It has said that from the chakra receivers located all over his body give him his ability which is to seen Chakra waves that are capable of knocking out opponents. His last ability is that he can use the Wood Release. It had also said that before he died he obtained the element of Earth and since Shika obtains the element of Water the combination makes wood. The down side of this effect is that he can't use water Release or Earth Release just wood[i]

Although it was physically strong enough to lift a man with one hand, the only ability exhibited by the Naraka Path lay in the use of summoning the King of Hell. The King of Hell is a large head which sprouts out of the ground surrounded by black flames and possesses the Rinnegan.[1] The King of Hell could fulfill two purposes: interrogation and restoration.

To interrogate, the Naraka Path need only catch hold of a person, causing the King of Hell to appear before them. With the victim seemingly paralyzed, the Naraka Path begins questioning them. After answers are given, the King of Hell will unzip its mouth to release tendril-like arms and would draw out the victim's life force energy from their mouth. The King of Hell then proceeds to pass its judgment. If the person was lying or refused to answer the questions, the King of Hell would remove their life force energy and consume it, killing them. However, if they told the truth, they would be spared, although left extremely exhausted.

The second ability the Naraka Path possessed is the ability to repair any damage. To do so the Naraka Path has the King of Hell ingest the damaged body with its tendril-like arms into its mouth. Then, after some time, the destroyed path will emerge from its mouth, completely healed and rejuvenated.

In all situations where Pain's bodies were shown in a combat formation, the Naraka Path always took a rear position with the others protecting it, behind even the Deva Path. This indicates that the Naraka Path's healing ability made it one of Pain's most important bodies. [i] It has said that when the chakra receivers were inserted into his body it gave him the element of Lighting which was given from Shika.
