Which mean's he'll Susanoo the shit out of everything, like he usually does. Besides that, what does he have? Chidori, limited teleportation and Amaterasu. So far it looks like the Six Paths Yin Power just increases his striking power.

If Naruto can find a way to pull him out of it or somehow break through Susanoo's defense, he's golden. He's currently the fastest shinobi alive, in Kurama Chakra Mode. He also has the abilities of all nine Tailed Beasts, Sage Mode, Tailed Beast Mode, Six Paths Yang Power, Shadow Clone Jutsu and like 20 different Rasengan variations.

But, the most important part of this battle:

Naruto's beaten a Rinnegan user before. Nagato was the most skilled Rinnegan user we've seen so far: Obito just needed a new eye and Madara was just showing off. Sasuke almost died against Killer B, who, while good, isn't as well-versed in Tailed Beast Skills as Naruto is now. Naruto has never beaten Nagato bruh. Only his reanimated corpses. Even though Nagato was already in a weakened state when Pain and naruto fought. Didn't you see whut happened when nagato was fighting Naruto, Bee, and itachi? especially after being revitalised and despite not being mobile? And did you forget sasuke can create a sword out of chidori?

Yes he did defeat Nagato. beating the pain puppets is the same thing as Beating Nagato. the thing is sure he did not defeat Nagato in his prime but that matters not since he competed with someone more powerful than Nagato(madara) and legitimately beat someone more powerful than Madara(Kaguya) Nagato prowess of six paths has shown to better when he battles than using the bodies so its not the same thing. Its funny cuz we find out that Nagato can absorb chakra and become youthful making you think why he didn't been do that. Anyways secondly Naruto beat Pain with support and knowledge. I like Naruto but I don't like giving credit when credit isn't totally deserved.

they are on separate levels true but he still beat Nagato. you can not deny that. and the entire point of the Naruto series is that even if you defeat someone with the aid of others you still beat that person. and Nagato was only able to regain his youthful appearance when absorbed Tailed beast chakra and it was only because it was 8 tails or higher. the tailed beats are only as powerful as there tails
