Naruto Shippuuden

At the momentI saw Yahiko when he was just a little ninja from Rain village, I thought he was Pain because of his hair. Until Nagato saved him with his Rinnegan.

So what really happened to Yahiko? This question seems to have its answer very soon. For sure, it will be explained. Not only I but Jiraiya also noticed Pain and Yahiko’s similarity. Did the two merged voluntarily? I don’t think either of the two will force each other to merge. They have shown respect to each other based on the flashback and I don’t think they’ll take advantage of each other.

My idea is that they merged because they realized that they can be stronger when they do it. Yahiko is physically stronger than Nagato. He has a lot of courage but obviously, he lacks abilities. Nagato on the other hand has powerful eyes but it seems like he doesn’t have a strong body. So they thought they need each other to be much stronger.

Another idea I have is that Yahiko really died and because Pain wants Yahiko to be with them forever, he took his body and use it. But I still don’t think that Pain killed Yahiko.
