The is a body in Nagato's Six Paths of Pain. It was the body of a tall bald man with a very unusual body shape. It was destroyed twice: first by Kakashi, after which it was revived by Naraka Path, and finally by Naruto's senjutsu-augmented Rasengan.

Appearance
The Asura path is the body of a tall bald man with a very unusual body shape, possessing a very thick neck, a big square shaped jaw, with a large ring piercing vertically on his nose, six spike studs all around his head, three studs on the top and bottom of each of his arms, an enormous spike stud on his chin and two vertical spikes on each upper cheek. This body has a number of different faces that it switches to depending on its mood: happy, neutral, and angry.

Abilities
This body has received a number of body alterations; under his cloak the body is revealed to have completely robotic inner workings, possessing six arms and a folded serrated blade-like tail. He can fire one of his left forearms off as a long-range projectile, pull out one of his right arms to reveal a cluster of segmented cluster missiles, quickly propel itself forward with a burst of chakra from its boots, protract multiple blades and a drill from one of his arms, open up the crown of his head to release a titanic shockwave, and wrapped around his waist is a long and flexible saw-like blade that can be used to slice a target. All of these abilities befit the "warring demon" name that the Asura path holds, while giving it a considerably higher degree of versatility than the other paths have.

The Asura path is used as a shield to protect the Deva path from Kakashi Hatake. It survives Kakashi's attack but is later destroyed by Choza and Choji Akimichi. The Naraka path restores it, only for it to be destroyed again by Naruto moments after his return.
