[Theory] The Six Paths

[Naike]

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.

Yeah I think the dojutsus have to be of a certain level to be able to be considered a path, which could be why he gave Nagato the rinnegan to progress the eye's abilities. But I disagree that Uchiha DNA is one of the paths because everyone, except Kakashi, that has had the sharingan has had Uchiha DNA - Kakashi would've still possessed Uchiha DNA in the eye however.

I think the sharingan has to be at EMS and byakugan would have to be at a new level that hasn't been introduced yet

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?

1)The link you posted only proves my point further. While the eye in the background possesses those qualities, the eyes of the Sage are definitely the Rinnengan. And what else is highlighted in that picture? The MAGATAMA jewel around his kneck which leads me to the Six Paths...
2)UCHIHA DNA
SENJU DNA
THE RINNENGAN
THE JUUYBI
THE MAGATAMA JEWEL
AND THE DEATH GOD
Once again it is my theory that the Six Paths are meant to represent the six things one would need to obtain to become the Sage of Six Paths.

what the heck sasuke is not a path he does not even have signs of him being a path only naruto and madara are the only paths so far

...I'm pretty sure that's a translating error.
If you're right, it would just be six things that made up the Rikudo Sennin's powers; The Body, (Senju or Uzumaki) The Eyes (Uchiha) and then I imagine various other things as well. I wouldn't find it too hard to believe that these Six Paths are just clans that are decended from the Rikudo Sennin and have a fraction of his power. The Juubi won't be part of it, something tells me.

lol paths aren't people to whoever said Sasuke and Nagato were paths

Byakugan could be one of the paths. Danzo used the 1st DNA and Uchiha eyes in order to use Izanagi. Both the powers of Senju and Uchiha in one but he was also after the Byakugan.

"It has been rumored that the Sharingan was somehow derived from the Hyūga clan's Byakugan. "

Spirit Items are probably another path, mainly the Magatama jewel.

There's also Yin and Yang powers of So6p which gave birth to Izanagi. I suppose Yang = Senju and Yin = Uchiha?

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.

Good theory but I don't think the Juuybi is one of the paths nor the death god, however, it doesn't stop them from being possibilities.

If Naruto has the necklace and supposedly, it was a path... If he obtained a Sharingan and Rinnegan, he'd have 4 paths. Is Kishi setting up a race scenario of who would become the so6p first? Naruto vs. Tobi? Remember, so6p appeared during an endless war to bring peace.

The Paths are abilities, I guess..

 

[thai sage]

hi new to the forums, been using this site to watch naruto for awhile but just recently decided to join, i disagree with the comments that naruto and gara are paths, i think paths are more like powers that the original sage had that needs to be collected, hashirama had the ability to control tailed beast, he himself has a sharrigan, he needs the tail beasts to be another path, and then probably needs a byakugan as another path, he already has the rinnegan which im guessing is one of the paths. the other 2 i have no idea, it cant be naruto or gara cause their suppose to die once the beast is removed from them. eh... i dunno i guess we'll have to wait and see

 

[MarBellarke]

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.

i definitely agree here

 

[Tanker]

There's a possibility that Naruto and Sasuke were part of that "Path". First of all Both of them possesses the Characteristics of the "Sage of Six Paths". Naruto with the physical and Sasuke with his eyes. Who knows what will happen, it wud be better if we find out for ourselves.

WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING UCHIHA REPRESENT HIS EYES!?!?!?!?!?! The Sage Of Six Paths had the RINNENGAN! The Byakugan and Sharingan have nothing to do with the paths. Uchiha and Senju are the bloodlines which came from the Sage and so COMBINED they make up his BODY. The EYES are the RINNENGAN!!! Also, UZUMAKI is a branch of SENJU. When Tobi spoke to Naruto before Naruto told Sasuke that they'd fight Tobi told Naruto that he is SENJU!!!

Most failtastic quote ever. The eye's of the sage, yes they where rinnegan's but the eldest son had the sages eye's and somewhere down the line they became the uchiha clan and the rinnegan morphed into the sharingan. The earliest point of the sharingan was the ten tails who had a 9 totem sharingan. This was i assume someone connected with the sages DNA and mixed with he swimmer's ( Sperm ) and was a dominate gene in the eldest son yet a secoundary gene in the youngest. So the Uchiha eye path is correct as it is just a morphed and weakened rinnegan with less strength and a different power as it has evolved ( In this case devolved )

I think that the paths are

1) Senju/Uzamaki

2) Uchiha/sharingan

3) The Ten Tails

4) Maybe the buakugan But its to weak at its current stage, maybe if we saw its like errr.. EMS verison EMB

5) God-like items that the sage possessed

6) The Sages will. The will of fire!

I agree with you. Especially with the part of the Byakugan being a path, plot wise it makes a lot of sense. You can see that there is something Kishi is planing there between Hinata and Naruto, I'm not saying they're going to be a pairing, but there are certain clues in the manga that hint that their relationship, romantic or otherwise, is going to play a big part in the plot.
If Madara needed the Byakugan, Neji would be immediately out of the question, as would every branch family member since the cursed seal destroys their eyes upon death. Hiashi is far too guarded, so is Hanabi, but by targeting Hinata, he's also attacking Naruto emotionally. And come on, wouldn't it make for a great plot element for Naruto to promise Hinata he would get her eyes back from the main vilain?

 

[sinbad]

keep posting we will all be wrong because we almost know nothing about so6p beside there is alot of mistakes in the manga translation. but the i belive the key to this is why madra gave the rinningan to ngato or how he did it
