The Rinnegan originally belonged to the _Sage of the Six Paths_. He then
divided his power between his two sons, which formed the Senju and the Uchiha.
For any human being to be able to activate Rinnegan, they need both the Uchiha
and Senju DNA. Uchiha Madara, in the last days of his life, was able to
activate it, as he already had the _Eternal Mangekyo_ and Hashirama's cells
(Senju DNA), making him similar to the Sage.

But the question is: how was Nagato able to re-activate it? Yes, it was Madara
who had implanted his Rinnegan in him at a young age, but then, even though
the eyes were implanted, Nagato neither had the Uchiha DNA nor the Senju DNA
to be able to re-activate the Rinnegan. How was he able to do it?

And as a continuation to it, let's assume he was able to re-activate the
already awakened Rinnegan (Madara awakened it originally), how was he able to
use it so well and control it without his body taking a toll? He belonged to
the Uzumaki clan who may have been the distant relatives of Senju, but that
doesn't justify how he was able to control it so well as he did not have any
trait of the SO6P, unlike Madara who could now be compared to the Sage (with
both DNAs and the Rinnegan).

An example to highlight this is of Kakashi. He got a Sharingan from Obito. But
since Kakashi wasn't an Uchiha, his body would take a huge toll on him
whenever he used it and had to cover his Sharingan when not using to save
Chakra. Though later he trained and excelled at it, he still was a non-Uchiha
and thus, his body used to take the toll, though, only after excessive usage.
Similarly, since Nagato has no traits of the Sage, his body shouldn't have
been able to take the toll of Rinnegan activated full and controlling his 6
Pain paths, and all.

Can somebody please give a detailed explanation of how Nagato was able to
awaken and control the Rinnegan?

How was Nagato able to re-awaken and control the Rinnegan?


Nagato did not need to awaken the Rinnegan. Madara already did that part for
him (waiting for the Senju DNA to manifest and combine with the Uchiha DNA in
order to awaken the Rinnegan). Since Nagato is an Uzumaki, which makes him a
distant relative of the Senju, he can control the Rinnegan. All Nagato needed
to do was activate the Rinnegan. (Senju relative + evolved Uchiha eye = Able
to use Rinnegan)

The important part is Madara had the awakened Rinnegan and gave it to Nagato.
Note that since Nagato received the Rinnegan and activated it, he never
reverted back to normal eye form or Sharingan form. The best explanation for
this is simply because Rinnegan does not cause eyestrain like the Sharingan
and Byakugan. Rinnegan is the perfect eye form, and thus does not take a toll
on Pain's body.

As for activation, we know that Nagato activated it upon the death of his
parents. Keep in mind that these are Uchiha eyes and Uchiha has been known to
have a stronger passion for love than Senju. Thus the activation of his eyes
were out of love for his parents as he watched them die.

For control, the only requirements for Rinnegan is both Uchiha DNA and Senju
DNA(the uzumaki clan were infact relatives of the Senju, sole holders of
Sealing jutsu, to smoothen further ties and relations to the senju, and this
point konoha, the 1st hokage married Uzumaki Mito, to further strengthen blood
ties) which Nagato had. In general, mastering control comes with practice,
just like with every other jutsu.

We know that Pain did not have full mastery of the Rinnegan as he didn't
master the Outer Path. In order to use the Outer Path, Pain had to sacrifice
his life when he revived everyone in Konoha.
