After hurrying back to a temporary Akatsuki Organization base, Obito didn't stop for a moment. He immediately found Zetsu and had him relay the news that he had captured "A" to Nagato, who was currently in the Land of Iron.
Upon receiving the message, Nagato didn't dare delay. He immediately rushed to the temporary base where Obito was staying.
As before, it was the "Deva Path" who appeared. But this time, he wasn't alone. Besides Konan, who was always at his side, there were five newly made "Five Paths of Pain" behind him.
Unlike the previous ones, however, these newly made "Five Paths of Pain" weren't cold, lifeless corpse puppets. They were living people, each with a ruddy complexion and steady breathing.

The new "Five Paths of Pain" not only possessed the abilities of the Rinnegan that Nagato had bestowed upon them, but also retained their abilities as Jinchuriki. Their strength far surpassed that of the previous generation of "Five Paths of Pain," which Nagato had
