6 Asura Paths with their head-nuke explosion would do some serious damage to Konoha, and it seems like that type of explosion doesn't even inflict any backlash on the Asura Path bodies either, making the technique potentially limitless.

With a foe like Tsunade, it just depends on whether you think the Pain bodies with shared vision can react in time to dodge her attacks. Bare in mind, the responsiveness of the Paths of Pain were dulled significantly after Deva used Chaotic Shinra Tensei, so their reaction speeds would not be up to par with what they are usually capable of. If Tsunade misses a punch or a kick, she's basically screwed. The Asura Path/s would restrain her with their metal wires and limbs, and blow off her head with a laser, similar to what Nagato did to Killer Bee.

I feel like 6 Deva Bodies is an auto-win unless one Shinra Tensei interval applies to all 6 of them. If that's the case, then Deva will only pose a problem when its down to one Pain body.

6 Animal Path bodies would be a nuisance for sure. If Each Pain body has its own individual summons, then I honestly don't think Konoha would come out on top. Each of the Pain bodies would just fly ontop of the Bird summoning and maintain a defensive approach whilst the summons just wreak havoc. Only Sage Naruto and the Toad summonings were able to keep the summons at bay, and if Pain went all out with the summons, they'd be outnumbered for sure.

As for the other three Paths, I think Konoha would win for sure. These Paths are mainly defensive and are more suited for support roles for Pain, so pitting their power alone up against Konoha is minimal threat tbh.
