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
In terms of physique, the Naraka path may be perhaps the most intimidating of all Nagato's bodies. However, its greatest capabilities are spiritual, not physical. This body's ability (referred to as the "King of Hell") seems to be a spiritual entity similar to the Death God, although it 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 to 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 apparently can while in Sage Mode. Another of this body's powers, most likely its main purpose, is to resurrect or "heal" the other paths.

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

Both times that Pain's bodies were shown in a combat formation, the Naraka path has taken a rear position with the others protecting it, behind even the Deva path (while its power was still recharging). This seems to imply that like the Deva path, the Naraka path is one of Pain's most important bodies, albeit for entirely different reasons. Despite being far more useful in healing than destructive force the Naraka path is perfectly capable of holding its own in combat, as seen when it defeated three Chunin and Ebisu, a Jonin, using only hand-to-hand combat.

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 kharma is entirely spent and they can reincarnate into one of the higher plains.
