Holy crap, lookit the spoiler pics of Nagato, apparently he's revealed in the next chapter and while I figured it might be the case that he was probably a cripple (in a manner of speaking), i was kinda pissed that they went for the moster-esque look instead of a more simple approach (which I think would have made for a cooler enemy and more formidable enemy). But I think nagato will go partially good or at least decide naruto's way is his only hope for peace when he's on his deathbed anyways.
I just aint into the whithered appearence, im hoping thats stemming from his shinra-tensei and not how he always looks.
Here's the link to where I first saw it.
