[Source] A manifestation of the Animal Path of the Rinnegan's power, the summoning centipede is dwarfed by its other summons, but outweighs them in tactical value. While its use by the Sage of Six Paths is mostly unknown, it was used by Pain to destroy a Hidden Leaf Village by summoning three simultaneously, with two being taken out by Sakura, and the other by Shikamaru respectively.
