First Animal Path’s Background

On the verge of the Second Shinobi World War, he demolished a tranquil town on the edge after receiving information that a shinobi had infiltrated there. The Fūma member attacked Jiraiya with his shurikenjutsu when he learned about the village, which resulted in them battling and Jiraiya getting a cut across his forehead. Years later, Nagato turned his corpse into the Animal Path.

First Animal Path’s Appearance

When he was alive, his hair was pale green in color and pulled back into a long ponytail on the right side of his head. During a run-in with Jiraiya, which was blocked by the Animal Path’s forehead protector, he sustained a scar on his forehead.

The Animal Path’s hair had been orange-dyed like that of other corpses. It had one stud in its top nose, six studs across the bottom of its face, one stud on each ear, and a big bridge piercing through its upper nose that was joined on each cheek with a circular stud. It lacks brow furrows. The body was examined by Konoha, who discovered several piercings on its legs and chest. Its eyes took in the appearance of the Rinnegan as a sign of Nagato’s dominance.

First Animal Path’s Abilities

Not much of his abilities are known but he managed to single-handedly wipe out a peaceful village, which indicates his great strength. As a member of the Fūma clan, he was skilled in the usage of giant shuriken.
