what the **** is all this paths stuff

[Punk Hazard]

ive seen people saying nagato was called the third of six paths what does that mean? its the only thing from the manga i still dont get

 

[Shinryu]

I think Tobi meant by that that Rinnegan is the third power, cos Tobi already posesses Hashirama Senju's cells, first path, and sharingan and uchiha cells, second path

 

[Iruka]

I'm also quite mystified by this actually. People say that the paths refer to aspects of the SO6P but that's quite vague.

Woah was not expecting what I saw upon clicking on your tag.

The things needed to become the so6p is my guess. Rinnengan, uchiha, senju have all been confirmed as paths. There is probably 3 more. The last 3 is completely in the air for grabbing.

Lol just posted something about this in that other thread, having Senju DNA and the Sharingan leads to Izanagi, which is a path I believe, some say that the 5 tools of the Sage are also a path.

Kishi does like to take his time to explain things like the power Itachi gave Naruto...it was years later that we actually saw it.

There is a thread like this but I will post what I posted over here

The sage of 6 paths strength did not only come from the rinnegan but he also had a strong life force and body,juubi chakra,spirit items. The paths that Tobi could have been referring to was the other sources of the sages power.

 

[Baka Sennin]

they're the sources of the sage's power

1. senju bloodline: longevity, lifeforce, physical energy
2. uchiha bloodline: the powerful chakra, eyes, and something else which i've forgotten
3. the rinnegan
4. his 5 treasured tools
5. probably the juubi
6.?

Most likely mistranslations. There seems to be different translations.

• Some translations say that Nagato is the 3rd of the sixth paths. Click

• And other translations say that Nagato is the 3rd Sage of the Six Paths(SO6P). Click

I personally believe the second translation to be the best translation.

But in the end of the day the only way to be absolutely sure is by buying the official English vision of that chapter. If there's any one out there that has managed to buy chapter 510 already. Could you please do us all a favor and clear this up?

it was a bad translation the guy above me is correct
he meant that nagato was to third person to become the SO6P
first SO6P is the legend
second madara
third nagato
