Nagato is the first user of the Rinnegan in naruto
Chat with our AI personalities
he is the first shinobi to get it,he then gave it to nagato for some unknown purposes; maybe it was part of his scheming of world domination. the way he got it was pretty simple in theory: as it is said in the story the sharingan,the mangekyou sharingan and then the rinnegan are the strongest and the most noble of doujutsu. so after getting his eternal mangekyou sharingan he was able to unlock this rinnengan thus becoming as powerful as the rikudu sennin.
He was born with it. The Sharingan is a family trait passed down to some members of the Uchiha Clan.
After Konan died Madara (Tobi) found Nagato's body and he transplanted Nagato's rinnegan into his left eye.
The Rinnegan is the strongest of all the eye techniques. The Byakugan- can see everything from almost any angle. The Sharingan can see what attack that your opponent is going to do next, copy your opponents then use it against them, see through other people's jutsus, and can unleash the Mangekyo Sharingan. Anyway, the Rinnegan is the most powerful eye technique. The clan that bore the Rinnegan was all murdered just like the Uchiha clan has been. The Rinnegan is so legendary because it can raise someone from the dead (impossible!), sense someone's chakra and absorb it all which kills them, read minds, see from any angle, see through other people's Rinnegans, kill someone if given eye contact, learn ONE of the Pain's unique jutsus (if strong enough), can control the minds, bodies, and souls of other people, can release someone's soul, haunt someone's body forever, take away all the opponent's chakra natures and keep them as your own... There are more to be found! The best doujutsu (ocular jutsu) that exists...only two people ever possessed it nagato (pain) and the sage of the six paths (rikudo sennin) [its that rare]...at current there is no one in the manga that is known to have it cuz as of now both of them i mentioned above are DEAD. The rinnegan gives the user the ability to control all six elemental types (fire, earth ,wind....everything) making it possible for the user to use virtually ANY jutsu. It could see chakra (just like the sharingan) and it can see the seventh path (the path to life and death)...it can bring ppl back to life...
Pein possesses the rinnegan and the founder of the ninja world also possessed the rinnegan. No one..at the moment right now in the manga..506..there is no living person with it..only two ppl known to have had it..nagato (pain) and rikudo sennin (sage of six paths) [and founder of ninja world]....both DEAD...the way the manga is leading btw...naruto might possibly have rinnegan eyes waiting to be unlocked.. After Madara kills Konan, he takes the Rinnegan from nagato and does something with it. It is unknown what he is going to do with it, but it can't be good. I am sure that Nagato is not the last we see of the rinnegan.
