YMMV / Naruto – Invasion of Pain Arc

• Magnificent Bastard: Nagato, better known as the alias of "Pain", is the most visible leader of Akatsuki. Deciding that the world must known pain in order to know peace, Nagato has the Akatsuki corner the war market in time of peace with Akatsuki acting as mercenaries in order to strengthen his group and weaken the military power of the villages. Secretly leading a rebellion in his home village of the Rain, Nagato conceals his victory and projects an air of mystery and power so as to be seen as a god. Secretly plotting to merge all the Bijuu into a superweapon to terrify the world into peace, Nagato kills his former mentor Jiraiya and proceeds to attack Konohagakure with a series of ruthless, brilliant tactics that leave the village all but helpless against him. Finally facing Naruto, what truly saves the Leaf Village is Nagato acknowledging his former idealism and sacrificing himself to revive the villagers. With unmatched charisma and drive for his version of peace, Nagato remains one of the most memorable and driven villains in the series.
