[Theory] The Six Paths

[deluxhollatme]

Ok, let's review. Let's go back to the first time Tobi mentioned "The Paths" to Konan.

After this manga was released most people believed that the Six Paths were the Six clans which had descended from the Sage. Tobi mentions "The Paths" again when he finds Nagato.

With the discovery of Nagato being an Uzumaki, most people began to say that the next path would probably be a member of the Hyuga clan. The problem that I have with that theory is that Tobi never said that any clan was a path, in fact every time he identified one of the paths he was speaking about a person. " I am Uchiha Madara the man who obtained Senju Hashirama powers."(To Nagato) "You are the third of the six paths."

My theory: What if Tobi means the Six Paths to becoming the Sage? What Six things would a person need to attain that power? Well he'd need the Sage's DNA which was the combination of UCHIHA and SENJU. He'd also need the Sage's eyes aka the RINNENGAN and Sage's power source aka the JUUYBI.

So now you say, what about the other two paths? This is where the legendary artifacts come into play because I believe that the MAGATAMA jewel will be one of the paths and that the other may have something to do with the DEATH GOD. Please comment.

shoot i dunno but i know naruto is a path because when he took the power from the fox before naruto sealed it again the fox said he was the ridoku sage. plus naruto looks like him when he uses the kyuubis charka. most likely they will explain it just gotta be patient. what if all your saying is completely wrong

 

[nut4sport]

Interesting theory the big hole is your last two paths but i can see it play out this way or a lot of other ways also I can't wait to find out.

But Nice theory though

 

[Allan Hoshigaki]

senju hashirama is the 1st path. madara uchiha is the second path. nagato uzumaki is the third path. naruto is a path not sure which number. sasuke is a path not sure which number either. and the last of the path might be the juubi. who knows

 

[nut4sport]

I agree with you that Naruto and Sasuke are both probably paths and this whole war is probably just a distraction

 

[midexcess]

the last path is most definitely Gaara... in time you'll see

 

[walesage]

nice theory but d last 2 re somehow but kishi has a funny way of turnin things

 

[Spartan117]

I really don't think he means people to be six paths... It might be a translating error. Rethink do you really think that jubb was SO6P? Sage was powerful even before the jubbi!

 

[SageBase]

It is not confirmed that Naruto is a path. Naruto has the Sages physical body (Sasuke has the eyes), but no one ever said Naruto is one of the paths.

Interesting theory. A death god could be a path. Not sure about the jewel.

Nice theory but I'd have to disagree with the last two paths. You mentioned above that you think Nagato was a path because he possessed the Rinnegan. To that end, perhaps the last two paths are the Sharingan and the Byakugan; sound possible? If this is true, it is a little unclear as to why Madara can't be classified as two paths by himself. However maybe it is a requirement that a single person can only represent 1 path or maybe Madara has indeed lost his EMS and he needs Sasuke's to work into the equation. The juubi is definetly a path, as you mentioned and I think all three eyes are required in order for the ultimate eye to be reborn. Here is my proof:

I really don't think that Naruto is important to Madara's plans, besides for the restoration of the juubi.

true but it's most likely that naruto is a part aswell. Kyuubi did called him sage of the six paths right before he sealed his powers away and caged him back in.. And they way he looks is exactly the same as the SO6P AND he also has the same necklace..

what more proof is there needed ?
We got all our hints already.

And about Sasuke, since madara does need him somehow and really wanted him to transplant itachi's eyes and wanted to take sasuke on the path of revenge just like himself, sasuke might be just a bridge for madara to obtain another path but that just a thought of mine because i doubt that sasuke will be a path..

Then I'd just be wrong. Someone else on here stated that it seems Kishi is creating the mangas based off of the questions people are asking. Remember when everyone thought that Edo Tensei was unstoppable, then the next issue Kabuto explains how it can be stopped? So hopefully he'll see this one and explain what the paths are. It could be possible that the key Naruto used to seal the 9-tails is actually one of the paths to obtaining the Sage's powers.

Madara did say that he was two paths. Before he killed Konan he stated that "2 of the paths are now one being!" I don't believe that Nagato was necessarily a path. I believe that the Six things in bold are the paths to obtaining the Sage's powers. Since the sage didn't possess the Sharingan or the Byakugan I doubt that they will be paths.

Nagato was definitely a path; whether it was actually him that was considered a path or it was his rinnegan itself is yet to be seen. I really lean toward him having the rinnegan being the reason. Did you happen to click on my link? Yes you are right, the sage did not possess all 3 eyes, but he possessed the perfect eye; and if you look at that image it is a combination of all three. It has the Rinnegan lines, the Sharingan tome and has the trigram circle thing in the center that is similar to a Byakugan ability. The rinnegan as Nagato possessed it and as Madara has now is not the same eye as the sage had, it is quite inferior. Remember Madara said Danzou possessed an incomplete izangi having spliced the 1st's DNA into himself. That means that Madara possessed a complete Izangi having learned how to control it better. But we know for a fact that the sage housed a PERFECT Izangi and was able to create things from nothing indefinitely. We don't know for certain of course, but I think that all 3 eyes as they are today are required to make the perfect one, or at the very least, a fully developed sharingan and rinnegan are required.

And where are the 6 things in bold you mentioned?

nice theory

I had a similar theory a while back. The paths are the things that made the sage unique. Here's what I think the first 5 paths are:

1) The sage's body (Senju clan DNA)
2) The sage's spirit (Uchiha clan DNA)
3) The sage's eyes (the Rinnegan)
4) The sage's technique (Izanagi)
5) The sage's power source (The Juubi)

I don't know what the last one could be. It could be something like "The Sage's philosophy, the Will of Fire" or something like that. I think you are right though, the paths are not clans but are specific traits that Madara is trying to collect so he can be as powerful as the sage.

nothing to commet your on the right path

 

[Ramen Sage]

Nice theories but I disagree with sasuke being a path. If anything he's needed to start up trouble and sync with the statue. Up until this point sasuke hasn't really done much to show he even belongs in the conversation. Madara is uchiha enough for the equation, he stockpiles eyes. If he needs chakra he has beasts. It just hard to really see what sasuke brings to the table other than weakening naruto to the point where madara can take advantage and or syncing with the statue.

 

[Maxpaynner]

I still think Madara's going to grab himself some Hinata byakugan. 3 dojutsus + tailed beasts + the 'body' (senju dna) + the 'spirit' (uchiha dna) makes for 6 paths.
