Rinnegan is the blood inheritance limit of Rikudou sennin (Six Realms Sage) and his descesdants. Rikudou sennin was view as the original shinobi and his Doujutsu was regarded as the most venerable of the three great Doujutsu. As the original shinobi it was said he created modern ninjutsu. The Rinnegan was regarded as a God of creation when the world was racked with chaos and as weapon a destruction which could return everything to nothingness. Usage of Rinnegan was said to give the user mastery over all six forms o chakra nature manipulation.

The true extent of Rinnegan abilities are currently unknown. Rain orphan Nagato was an inheritor of the doujutsu, and use it uncounsciously when he was angry and afraid. He entered into a berserk state which allowed him defeat a much stronger foe. It maybe the same ability which allowed him to never lose a battle as "Pain", the leader of Rain village rebel faction and Akatsuki. Nagato in the guise of "Pain" also has the ability to control six different bodies, each o which acts as a "realm", Nagato's ability to utilize these bodies probably gives rise to the "Transmigration" name. This is a cycle of reincarnation and rebirth seen in Hinduism and Buddhism. There are six states of rebirth in the cosmology, representing all the good and bad possibilities of life. Each of Rikudou Pain bodies acts as one o these states.

The Realms are former corpses controlled by chakra receiving piercings place into their bodies. Upon being taken over by Nagato and joining the Pain personal, the corpse will regain "life" and bear the Rinnegan. Each realm has one area of mastery of utilizes that as their primary jutsu. It is unknown if this is limitation of their original body, or a side effect of the method of control. It is also unclear if this body ability is unique to the Rinnegan or simply Nagato alone.

Tendou, The Deva Realm is the body Pain uses the most. It once belonged to Nagato's friend Yahiko. This body has the ability to utilize Shinra Tensei, a jutsu capable of gravity manipulation. Nagato is able to donate some of his own life force to utilize a large scale version of this technique, which is capable of causing massive destruction. Chikushoudou, or the animal Realm, is able to summon creatures and other individuals. After Nagato's original animal body was killed by Jiraiya, Nagato reanimated a female corpse to become the new animal Animal Realm. Next is Ningendou, The Human Realm, a body which focuses more on Taijutsu. This reealm can also read the minds and remove the souls of enemies is grips. Jigokudou, The Hell Realm is capable of utilizing a spectral hell figure capable of judging whether one if telling the truth or not. This figure can also remove the soul of the one it judges. Shuradou, or the Asura Realm, utilizes the Ninja blasts. Finally is Gakidou, The Hungry Ghost Realm, who uses sealing techniques to neutralize most any incoming attack, both natural and elemental.

To use these various realms, Nagato himself will transmit his chakra from a distance away. From this controller position, he can utilize the sensory information of each body, as each Rinnegan host will share the same vision. Meaning what one realm views, all his other bodies also view, even if their vision is damaged. By increasing the number of Rinnegan host bodies on the battle field, Nagato will thus increase the number of viewing angles and eliminate any potential blind spots. The Rinnegan also has the ability to see invincible barriers, allowing Pain to avoid walking into traps or tripping alarms.
