<p>The Rinnegan user is bestowed with the Six Paths power. And weirdly, there are seven paths:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>1. Deva Path:</strong> 
  Allows one to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces.</p>
  
  <p><strong>2. Asura Path:</strong>
  Grants the user mechanized limbs, weaponry and armor.</p>
  
  <p><strong>3. Human Path:</strong>
  Gives the ability to remove a soul and so, read a person's mind.</p>
  
  <p><strong>4. Animal Path:</strong>
  Lets the user summon a wide variety of creatures.</p>
  
  <p><strong>5. Preta Path:</strong>
  Which can absorb all forms of chakra, including most ninjutsu.</p>
  
  <p><strong>6. Naraka Path:</strong>
  Through which one can summon and control the <em>King Of Hell</em>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>7. Outer Path:</strong>
  Through which one rules over both life and death.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>As Nagato was crippled, he used the Outer Path to manipulate the six corpses (the Pain who fought Naruto &amp; Jiraiya), and channeled other Paths through the Chakra Rods.</p>

<p>And so, by using the Human Path, Pain can read other people's minds.</p>

Are you referring to the [Human Path](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Human_Path)?

And so, by using the Human Path, Pain can read other people's minds.
