About Pein

Pein is the leader of Akatsuki and the partner of Konan, appearing in the form of six entirely different bodies that share the same mind, referred to as "The Six Paths of Pein". Rinnegan is Pein's jutsu. It is a unique eye technique characterized by a number of concentric circles around the pupil, allows the wielder to utilize any ninja ability. Pein uses it to share visual information amongst all six bodies, giving them the ability to coordinate offense and defense as if they were a single entity. Each body possesses a unique skill; the body with a large ponytail, for example, can summon a wide array of creatures, while the fat body is able to absorb attacks as a form of defense.
