Naraka Path

The is one of the bodies in Nagato's Six Paths of Pain. It was the body of a very tall stocky muscular man with a spiky mop of hair. It was incapacitated by Naruto using a Rasenrengan in a surprise attack from above.

This Pain's main ability is referred to as the "King of Hell", which takes the form of a large head surrounded by black flames. If somebody captured by this ability were to tell a lie they will be killed. The King of Hell can also be used to repair other Paths that have been destroyed or damaged in battle.

Appearance
The Naraka Path is the body of a very tall stocky muscular man with a spiky mop of hair, with triple bar ear piercings, a stud on his upper nose, a stud on his shoulders near his neck, and a row of studs diagonally down each cheek.

Abilities
This body's ability (referred to as the "King of Hell") seem to be a spiritual entity similar to the Death God, although he is physically strong enough to hold a fully grown man in each hand off the ground with no apparent effort. The entity takes the form of a giant demonic head, which protrudes from the ground close too him while shrouded in black flames. When he asks a question, and after an answer is given, the giant's mouth opens, releasing tendril like arms that force a stream of energy from the victim. If the person was telling a lie or refused to answer the question, their life force is completely removed and eaten, and they are seemingly killed. If they were telling the truth, they remain alive, though left extremely exhausted. Outsiders are unable to see the head, although Naruto in Hermit Mode apparently can. Another of this body's powers, most likely its main purpose, is to resurrect or "heal" other paths.

By summoning the King of Hell, Pain engulfs the body he wants to heal in it and the body comes out completely repaired.

Both times that Pain's bodies were shown in a combat formation, the Naraka path has taken the rear with the others protecting him (even behind the Deva path while its power was still recharging), implying that, like the Deva path, this body is one of Pain's most important bodies. It is capable of holding its own, as seen when it defeated three Chunin and Ebisu, a Jonin, using only hand-to-hand combat.
