Talk:Naraka Path

I think...
I think the assumption about resurrection in this article is going too far. Naraka Path never actually resurrected a being that was previously alive but later died, it only renewed the corpses from the Six Paths of Pain (repaired them so they can move/receive chakra again). This should be fixed, because we have no proof that King of Hell could resurrect people as used by Naraka Path (not counting Nagato himself). Xfing (talk) 10:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The flaw in your argument is that...well...to have a corpse you need a body that was previously alive but now dead.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know what you mean, but I think you know what I mean too. Being repaired by the King of Hell didn't make the Path alive in the strict sense of the word, it only made it functional again, as seen perfectly with Asura. From dead and mangled to dead and functional :3 Xfing (talk) 10:26, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * /shrug You're arguing semetics then, because a lot of times in the manga, the bodies were considered "alive" and "killed" by the characters. This is merely a semetic change however.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:29, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe it is, but still we are unable to tell if King of Hell could for example take Jiraiya and make him alive again, alive with his own consciousness. Calling the paths alive and dead is purely metaphoric for someone who knows how Pain works, but it doesn't mean Naraka can actually resurrect a deceased human being outside of the Six Paths.

 * I think the problem your having is that the article is going into to much detail on how the King of Hell itself works, and not the Naraka Path, which is a problem with the article.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 10:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not THAT detailed, just a misconception between actually raising someone from the dead or just renewing a corpse. Xfing (talk) 10:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Konahamaru
Didn't Konohamaru destroy this Path with the Rasengan?24.129.58.16 (talk) 20:47, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yes but then he was revived later then killed once more by Naruto-- Hohenheim ☯ Talk ☯  20:48, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

It wasn't revived Konohamaru only knocked it out.--Deva 27 20:51, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Healing Ability?
On the article it's mentioned that the Naraka Path can use the King of Hell to repair any damage. Though, the 4th databook makes no mention of this, pg 254. What source was used for this statement? Or is it only implied that the Naraka path can restore any damage? Ninja Of War (talk) 14:46, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * We've seen Nagato using it to restore his other wrecked Paths a couple times. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 16:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Yeah I know that, I specifically talking about the supposed ability to repair any damage and it's associated source. As we only see the King of Hell "repair" corpse Paths, isn't it a stretch to say that the King of Hell, via the Naraka path can restore any damage? Dead or living?


 * Is what's shown/implied in the manga enough to justify that? Ninja Of War (talk) 17:56, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Most I can think of is an ambiguous line from Kabuto that is referenced from chapter 551, where the restoring he mentions could restoring the bodies after hiding their souls. However, that is ambiguous, since he was talking about a path before, but the restoring could be him talking about using Edo Tensei. I think it's also possible that the healing aspect associated with the Naraka Path is actually a feature of the King of Hell in general, since the resurrection is something that is a bit in the Outer Path's wheelhouse.

 * Yeah, it's pretty ambiguous, I just thought that the article should reflect that it is unknown whether the King of Hell (via the Naraka path) can actually heal living bodies. And that "storing" souls and bodies separately within it does not necessarily mean resurrection/life restoring. Thanks for the feedback. Ninja Of War (talk) 22:32, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
