He was also a sickly cripple for 16 years before he died. He is also not a special reincarnate like the Sasuke, who has had everything handed to him, he even had access to Itachi's eyes at his leisure, in order to get EMS. He was basically given the Rinnegan and was given half of Hagoromo's six paths chakra. Nagato had the Rinnegan before he was even 10 years old and he and his parents didn't even know he had it as apparently Madara had his eyes in their normal onyx colored state when he transplanted the eyes to Nagato, and Nagato had to re-awaken them TWICE to be able to keep it active and even use them from then on(he didn't know his eyes were different than the others and was shocked he had the Rinnegan, hence he must have had Madara's normal black eyes and the he awakened them to Rinnegan himself and that is why I believe he could handle both eyes and was so powerful with them, unlike Obito.. who also even though he was an Uchiha he could not switch back to Madara's EMS or Madara's Sharingan.. and which is why I believe he was the "3rd Sage of Six Paths") From there he had to learn everything from Jiraiya until he was 13-14, then he had to do the rest on his own and became such a monstrous ninja as he killed Hanzo who the three sannin together couldn't beat at age 18, Jiraiya and defeated Sage Mode Naruto(he was low on chakra and very sickly too btw) The severe underestimation of Nagato is just weird... The reason he was plot no jutsu'ed into death was because he would be too powerful an ally and too powerful too KEEP as an enemy, plus he served his purpose. Sasuke can turn enemies into the core of gravity for Chibaku Tensei, he had to use genjutsu because they might regurgitate the sphere. Sasuke is stronger than Nagato, just remember that once his Rinnegan becomes a nine tomoe eye then he will be overpowered. Nagato just has Rinnegan abilities and Sasuke has Rinnegan, Sharingan, and Six Paths' power.
