Asura Path "Shuradou"

In the anime, the Asura Path was shown to be a wandering puppeteer with insight to the world. His body was used by Nagato years later as the Asura Path.

In the anime, when alive, he showed the ability to control a puppet with threads made out of chakra.

As part of the Six Paths of Pain, the Asura Path is used for a number of different purposes over the years: all six Paths are used to overthrow and kill Hanzou; when Jiraiya infiltrates Amegakure in order to find out more about Akatsuki, the Asura Path fights him and ultimately contributes to his death; in the anime, Asura Path assists in the capture of the Six-Tails; it participates during Pain's Assault, and like the other Paths it is defeated by Naruto Uzumaki.
