I’m not sure why people are acting like Obito not showing any signs of being anxious means that he would bop all of those Akatsuki members. I’m not saying it doesn’t mean that, but its such a significant assumption for such a minor detail.

We know Obito, he is devious, manipulative and shrewd. He obviously could be bluffing in order to intimidate Kabuto, or believes that nothing could happen to him since he’d just teleport away. NOTHING insinuates that Obito would beat ALL of these Kage-level ninja, including Perfect Sage Kabuto, at the same time. Naruto, Guy and Kakashi were enough to pressure White Mask Obito, so what makes people think that the bulk of the Akatsuki and Kabuto won’t be enough for Orange-Mask Obito?

Also, this discussion involves a healthy Nagato. The Nagato that Obito saw was clearly emaciated and immobile.

This is from the Water Clone page:

Unlike the standard Clone Technique, these water clones are physically real, allowing them to interact with others and even perform the same jutsu as the user.

>>> The fact that it can perform the same jutsu as the user and is not limited to water style techniques shows its just as viable as Nagato’s potential use of Shadow Clones. And Nagato wouldn’t even stray far from his clones, his whole gimmick with the Paths of Pain involved being close together to pressure his opponents, and to exploit shared vision. So, water clones having limited range would not be a problem at all.
