Response to "u wanna die"

For info about the Six Paths/Realms, check out Wikipedia on Samsara:


I did some little research, and see what I found:

The Six Paths according to Samsara (Buddhism)

• 1. Deva Path/Realm

A realm populated by godlike being, they are full of wisdom and power.
Despite being gods, they can die of old age.

= Rikudou Sennin, Sage of Six Paths. Very obvious.

• 2. Asura Path/Realm, Realm of Titans

They are massive and titanic, they wield great strength and power.
In this realm, hate and jealousy causes rebirth of these Titans.
They are either depicted good or evil, but mostly evil.

= Uchiha Madara, the fact that his hatred against Hashirama made him "reborn" of himself.
Also a reference that Madara's Perfect Susanoo resembles a titan.



• 3. Preta Path/Realm, Realm of Hungry Ghosts

They are depicted as beings with a huge stomach, though empty, and a very dying looking body,
rather sick looking. They are best depicted as hurt, pain and agony.

= Nagato, interesting part is that Nagato's first appearance had the exact description above, he had a big
machine that resembled a big stomach, and his looks that looks very hungry and dehydrated.


• 4. Naraka Path/Realm, the Hellish Realm


This Realm is descriped as being hell itself, the beings here are fueled with battle, they have no ideal of
peace of love. They always seek revenge and tries to meet up with even greater evil power.

= This is Obito, because of what happened to him he grew into a type of Hellish Being, having no
ideals of peace and love.



There are 2 more paths, but I won't add them since they don't make any sense according to Naruto terms.

I hope this explained why Obito called Nagato the 3rd Path :)


Added;

Here are the other 2 Paths, they don't make any sense but you can try to think about it.

Animal Path/Realm


Beings in this realm are very ignorant and lazy, they avoid discomfort and unnecessary troubles, they also hate things they aren't familiar with.

Human Path/Realm


This realm could be Earth, beings here are peaceful, some filled with evil, and some not.
Beings here seek enlightenment and knowledge.

I'd try but it doesn't make sense, anyway I'll just add them.

Im pretty sure it is a mistranslation. See this thread, it will explain everything precisely:

They aren't part of a 6 paths. they are all the six paths, and they can use all the 6 paths. Nagato was able to use all 6 techniques, why would he only be denoted by one then? Kishi got the idea of rinnengan by the Buddhist religion, just like he got Amaterasu, tsukiyomi, Izanagi, Izanami and Susanoo (as well as others), from Japanese history.

There are 2 Types of Six Paths btw, the Six Paths of Rebirth and the Six Paths we know as Rinnegan's abilities.

But this Six Paths or Rinne is drawn out of the Japanese ideal of Samsara. I know Japanese

I don't think its a mistranslation, since Tobi mentioned the same thing in the anime

Hahah Megatolium, this theory is pretty awesome. I don't know who could possibly fulfill the roles of the last two. It could be reaching but it's still cool to think about. There have been plenty of what seemed like spot-on theories in the past but you have me keeping an eye out to see what happens with this one.
