Six Paths Technique

The  is a technique used by Rikōmichi of. It is the exact same technique as 's , only Rikōmichi renamed it and added in his hunter-nin codename in place of "Pain", Nagato's own alias. It allows him to control six separate bodies, each of which are reanimated by his Rinnegan, and keep them mobile with his own chakra.

Use
Rikōmichi doesn't seem to have to use to control his paths, like Nagato did. He can simply transmit his chakra from a high point to use them, or he can travel with them and transmit his chakra close by.

Paths
The technique consists of six bodies, or "paths", that all share Rikōmichi's Rinnegan eyes. Due to being a member of, he was given six of the deceased 's corpses to transform into paths. Also, each body seemed to serve a specific purpose in battle, such as summoning, repair, and defense, rendering them open in other areas.

Like with Nagato's technique, Rikōmichi could see through the eyes of each of the paths, thus registering six fields of vision which could be used to coordinate the paths in anyway Rikōmichi wanted. At some point after the, Kirigakure obtained the and Rikōmichi, due to his large chakra and Rinnegan, was given the tools to incorporate into his technique. The Animal Path has the ability to the summon the tools, while the remaining paths actually use them in battle.

While not in use, the bodies were stored in a special chamber underneath Kirigakure. This chamber prevented the bodies from rotting further.
