Naraka path's main ability was the use of the King of Hell, which was a large head of a demonic being, sprouting out of the ground and surrounded by black flames. It was very useful in interrogation for Naraka path, as if somebody captured by this ability would to tell a lie, then he/she would be killed. Also, the King of Hell could repair or resurrect other paths of Pain, that had been destroyed or damaged in battle.

Appearance
The Naraka path was the body of a tall, stocky, muscular man with a spiky mop of orange hair. After his death and it's incorporation in the Six Paths of Pain, Naraka path possessed Nagato's Rinnegan eyes, and multiple body piercings, like having a circular stud on it's upper nose, a diagonal row of studs on each of it's cheeks, three spike piercings in each of it's ears, and a stud on each of it's shoulders near it's neck.

Abilities
In terms of physique, the Naraka path was perhaps the most intimidating of all the paths. However, it's greatest capabilities were spiritualistic, and not physical attacks. The basic (and the only) ability exhibited by Naraka path lay in the use of a demonic being, which was dubbed as the "King of Hell", which was a large head sprouting out of the ground surrounded by black flames and possessing Nagato's Rinnegan eyes. The "King of Hell" was basically used by Naraka path for two purposes, out of which one was interrogation. When Naraka path would have caught hold of a person and asked him/her a question, after an answer was given by the target, the King of Hell's mouth would open to release tendril-like arms that force out the life force of the victim from his/her mouth. If the person would have had lied to Naraka path, or refused to answer it's questions, then the King of Hell would remove their life force and eat it, thereby seemingly killing the target(s). However, if a person would have had told the truth to Naraka path, he/she would remain alive, though left extremely exhausted. Also, only those persons who were caught by Naraka path were able to see the King of Hell, and it was essentially invisible to other people, although, Naruto could apparently see it, while he was in Sage Mode. The second ability of the King of Hell was ressurecting other people and bringing them back to life. It could do so by ingesting any part of the deceased person's body with the tendril-like arms from it's mouth, and then after some time, the dead person would emerge from it's mouth, completely restored and healed.

At all times when Pain's bodies were shown in a combat formation, the Naraka path was always ordered to take a rear position with the others protecting it, behind even the Deva path, while it's own power was still recharging. This was because like the Deva path, the Naraka path is one of Pain's most important bodies, due to it's power to repair and resurrect other paths, while in battle. This idea of Pain's battle formation was cracked by Naruto, who tricked all paths of Pain to eventually destroy the Naraka path in a surprise attack from above with his Sage Technique: Rasenrengan.

Influences
In Buddhism, the Naraka realm, or "hell realm," is a plain of rebirth, based on strong states of hatred cultivated in a previous life or lives. The Naraka, imp-like humanoids, are continually tortured to death, and then revived, so that the torture can continue until their negative karma is entirely spent and they can reincarnate into one of the higher plains.
