Whilst Nagato has shown the ability in the anime and even more complex derivatives in both manga and anime, Obito hasn't shown the ability at all.

Edo Nagato was being controlled by Kabuto, so he did not perform as well as he could have. Nagato was even fighting himself. And to be honest, Nagato wouldn't even need shadow clones to take on Itachi, Bee and Naruto. If he was under his own control, he would have been an absolute monster.

How is the Naraka Path thing uncertain? Think about it. Why would it only work on dead things? Was the Rinnegan designed to have a handicapped user? Don't think so. It was shown to heal bodily distortions such as missing arms and legs, and stab wounds. Nagato most likely couldn't use it on himself due to the nature of his afflictions.

Obito doesn't have these chakra arms to hold his soul in though. If he is busy pulling his soul into his body, he wouldn't have any hands left.

I went on the Wood Clone wiki, and Obito isn't listed there at all. I think the best Obito would have is Shadow Clones, given that in order to graduate from the academy, you gotta produce at least one clone.

It doesn't matter if its a cloned Rinnegan or not. How could Itachi's clones cast genjutsu then? Shadow clones are CLONES for a reason. They are identical in every way.

I still think Nagato wins this match-up pretty easily. White Mask Obito is what would beat this Nagato.
