Although Orochimaru intended to kill the children to put them out of their misery, Jiraiya decided to remain in Amegakure to teach the trio how to protect themselves. As the war was nearing its conclusion, the three orphans encountered the Sannin themselves. One day, Chibi was killed in the crossfire from Hanzō 's fight with several Konoha shinobi, including the Sannin, with Nagato and the other orphans later mourning the dog's death. The three then began to search for supplies, often stealing them to survive. At first, Yahiko was reluctant to have another mouth to feed, but reconsidered having Nagato hang around due to both boys sharing the dream of a world without suffering. Eventually, Nagato started to starve and later collapsed, which lead to him being found by Konan, who gave him a loaf of bread before taking him to the hideout she and Yahiko had made their home. The orphaned Nagato wandered the country, travelling from house to house alongside a dog named Chibi, begging for food. Nagato would eventually come to regard this as the first of two great sources of pain in his life, only later realising that it was him who had killed the two shinobi. After witnessing his parents death, Nagato in his grief used the Rinnegan for the first time and killed the assailants. Believing that the shinobi were there to kill them, his parents died during the ensuing chaos in their effort to protect Nagato, as confused and shocked, the Konoha ninja mistook them for enemy shinobi. One day, during the Second Shinobi World War, two Konoha shinobi attempted to find some rest and food in their thought-to-be-abandoned home. Nagato lived with his parents in a village somewhere on the outskirts of Amegakure. When Nagato was a child, Madara Uchiha transplanted his own eyes into the young boy without his knowledge. Nagato is also a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, who are distantly related to the Senju clan. It was later revealed that he had secretly collaborated with Tobi, who acted as Akatsuki's main benefactor. Referred to as "Leader" by all Akatsuki members (except for his partner, Konan ), he directed the actions of the rest of the members and maintained authority over them. Nagato (長門, Nagato ), also known as Pain (ペイン, Pein ), was the recognised leader of Akatsuki and Amegakure as well as a major antagonist of the series.
