Black Receiver

These are black rods that allows the user to transmit their chakra to it. They get hot whenever chakra is being transmitted to them. Nagato implanted chakra receivers into each of his Six Paths of Pain as body piercings. Doing so allowed him to transmit his chakra into the bodies and control them remotely as if they were his own body. The many animals summoned by the Animal Path also had a number of these body piercings, suggesting that Nagato controlled them as well. These receivers seem to be incredibly durable, as seen when Shizune was performing an autopsy on the first Animal Path and many scalpel were broken when taking a sample of the rod and later when Naruto attempted to destroy them it took quite some time for it crack slightly. The Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, when used, pierced many chakra receivers through Nagato's back which in turn allowed Nagato to control the statue.

Trivia

 * Nagato has also used modified versions of these receivers to act as blades, allowing him to disrupt his opponents' chakra flow by transmitting his own chakra into their bodies when pierced.
 * The main difference between this and the Chakra Disruption Blades is that these begin transmitting chakra to his Six Paths of Pain when they are activated. Nagato also seemingly went to some lengths to retrieve them. While the disruption blades are used in battle and only transmits chakra when Nagato wants.
 * It has been shown that Tobi also uses these receivers to control his six paths of pain as well.
