Preta Path (character)

He was a Kusagakure ninja Jiraiya met during his journey for his disciple. The anime showed that he was both a ninja and a farmer who'd failed to cultivate the land for his family due to his participation in war. His body was used by Nagato as the Preta Path.

Appearance
He was a stocky man with beady brown eyes. He had brown hair that was hidden by a bandanna-like forehead protector. He wore a tan-colored shirt with a black shirt underneath. His complexion was also noticably darker when he was alive.

While his corpse was being used as the Preta Path he, like all of the Six Paths, possessed Nagato's Rinnegan. It had orange hair tied in a short ponytail. It had small spiked piercings covering its entire bottom lip, two vertical spike studs on the front of his nose, two spike studs (one on each cheek), a metal spike going through each ear, and a stud on his shoulder, one on each side, close to his neck.

Abilities
By using the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal, it was able to absorb chakra either directly from a person it is touching or from a ninjutsu that it comes in contact with.

Itachi Pursuit Arc
Preta Path was one of the two Path's summoned by Animal Path and was used to absorb Jiraiya's Sage Art: Goemon and Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan. It was later caught in a genjutsu along with the Animal Path and Human Path, they were then killed by Jiraiya but they were revived by the Naraka Path so that all six paths could confront Jiraiya.
