<p>When Kabuto asked Tobi for alliance he showed five Akatsuki members' corpses, and one of them is Nagato's. But then Tobi encountered Konan to get information about Nagato's Rinnegan. Why was Tobi looking for Nagato's body when he already has it? Or is there something I'm missing?</p>

Where is Nagato's body?

The [Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Summoning:_Impure_World_Reincarnation) needs only some of the DNA as it says in the wiki:

> Before this technique can be performed, the user must first acquire some of the DNA of the person they intend to reincarnate. Kabuto remarks that this basically amounts to grave-robbing, although blood stains or organs salvaged after the target's death also work.

So [Kabuto](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Kabuto_Yakushi) found some DNA or some bloodstains and he was able to bring back [Nagato](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nagato). It's never explained how he brought all of his summonings.

But Tobi wanted his [Rinnengan](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rinnegan) and to have it he needed to find [his real body](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Nagato_and_Yahiko%27s_Shrine).

A little summary, about what happened and why [Tobi](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Tobi) wanted to find Nagato's real body.
