Edo Madara has Three of the Six paths's right now.

[The God of Wind]

I know for sure that natural energy will be a part of the last three, because natural energy mastery is proof of sagehood, like the great sage was saying. i dont think juubi was a path tho , but the juubi's power definitely enabled the sage to create The Six Paths

 

[The God of Wind]

i have a question for you. your saying that the first three paths are senju uchiha and pain. ok. by senju do you mean hashirama his ability or the clan.and when tobi called nagato the third he meant his rinnegan or the person, person being nagato?

Hashirama was the strongest of the senju, in other words he was the full power of his clan and practically the clan himself, same with Uchiha Madara.
Nagato was given just the rinnegan, he may have had the potential to unlock all his godly abilities from his Uzumaki heritage as they are related to one of the Paths literally
i think tobi meant the rinnegan was the third path

 

[Naruto hinata]

i say let the manga unlock it by the time it reaches there

 

[AlexRG23]

stop trying to close it out, explain the second image to me then, i think you have misinterpreted buddy

Ok fine, let's get this to the hottest thread section..... I'm not disagreeing with ya man, I said you brought up some valid points. Senju and uchiha, we know they derived from the two sons of the So6P, right?


Ok good, therefore it makes sense for them to be PARTS of the sage, only parts!

Now my point, where does Nagato fit in with sage? Other than the fact that he is part senju, and HAD the SAGE'S EYES. If that's the case, then he wouldn't be the 3rd path, he'd be the first alongside hashirama.

Now, I'm not done yet, but like I stated earlier, you brought up something very interesting, something that makes me wanna go back and research a little more. Cause you might really be on to something.

Nagato was only related to the Senju, he was an Uzumaki. The Rinnegan itself is a Path of The Sage. The powers it grants are from the Rinnegan itself. because nagato had them put in by Madara, he did not unlock them like Madara did, therefore all his powers were from the Rinnegan

 

[+PDatta+]

all those who has the traits of the Rikudo have been given the name of paths by tobi {hashirama could control kurama at will (like a boss), madara could summon kurama and control him with 3 tomme shagingan only, and nagato had the legendary eyes} [theory]

maybe naruto is one of the paths too because he unlocks the rikudo form when he tried to tame kurama's power... just saying...

I think it has something to do with the clans. Like the Senju clan is one path, the Uchiha is another path, and the Uzumaki clan is another path. I think there are probably 3 more paths too, all related to the s06p through bloodline.

I think when the s06p had his two sons, they each became a path. The Uzumaki clan is a relative of the senju, so they are another path. I bet the Hyuga clan is a path too since it's related to the Uchiha through bloodline as well. And there are probably two more clans we haven't been told about yet that are somehow related, one related to senju and the other related to uchiha. But this is a pretty baseless opinion so i'm really just having fun with it xd But it would be cool if it were right huh

The Uzumaki's were just blood relatives of The Senju who had similar traits to them, long lives and sealing jutsus. Possibly the strongest trait of all was the exceptionally strong chakra they had that could supress Bijuu's, Ex- Kushina.

But no, The Rinnegan is the Third Path.

Yea, I understand that, but they are not just powers.... They are PATHS, having the rinnegan grants you the control over the 6PATHS. That was the reason the sage was called the sage of 6 paths.

What tobi says, is entirely different, he is referring to the entirety of the sage, not just the paths of the rinnegan. In hindsight, you're right, Edo Madara currently is half way in becoming the REINCARNATION of the sage.

I feel like you are mistaking what tobi says though. He says that Madara and hashirama were both paths of the sage. But what I think is going on there, is that he says, "they are just 2 paths to becoming the sage"
But then again I can be wrong too lol

Think about it, cause tobi already has the rinnegan (which grants him the power over the 6 paths) but he is after more. He wants to become the complete reincarnation of the sage.

This is what I meant about you having valid points and bringing something to interest.
I believe that its a faulty translation, cause it happens a lot. But the rest you have going there is spot on.

so if the Rinnegan was the 3rd path Tobi was talking about with Nagato and not his bloodline, then what were the first 2 paths? I know the senju have the regeneration ability/physical body and beast controlling chakra. But what do the uchiha have other than the sharingan? what part of the path did they pocess? it can't be the sharingan since the so6p used rinnegan

The Six Paths of Pain were exactly that. They were Pain's Paths. But altogether, for example- Edo Nagato, was one single Path of The Sage.
Think about it, if Tobi already had all the Six Path's of The Sage then he would be The Sage of the Six Paths, but he is the same as Edo Madara right now, apart from humongous chakra reserves that the Edo Madara has, Tobi is the same thing.

The full power of the sharingan combined with Senju DNA turns the EMS into the Rinnegan. For the first two paths look at the second image.

Look, this topic has piqued my interest, but I feel I need to research more on it for a better debate. So I'm gonna hold back right now to go over some chapters, cause there is one (can't remember) where J-man talks about the paths of the sage. However, when im done I'll get back to you on it.

This will probably take 2-3 days at most, so at the moment, I have ceded the battle to you lol
Later xd

 

[The God of Wind]

So then I win! yay, my theory is the truth.

So then I win! yay, my theory is the truth.

your theory makes no sense its just too vague you lose. and the manga will prove you wrong.:flaw:
