Though given the context and background info, my guess is it's a fancy way to say "enlightened", since in buddhism the six paths refer to the six planes of reincarnation, and if you've been to them all, you've basically understood every aspect of life.

I don't recall Obito saying this. Kakashi and Guy noted that he didn't use any of the abilities, and that he may not have wanted to (they were all figured out and all had known counters) or may not have been able to (due to the Biju) or both.

Maybe with his zombie edo tensei body, he could not use his absorption abilities, that's why he used Rinnegan's one. I don't think they are different things, i think he just uses Rinnegan to project it into a barrier. I guess you could compare it to Sasuke coating his Susanoo in Amaterasu, thereby combining the strengths of the jutsu.: Sure Madara can user barrier Ninjutsu and absorption independently, but combining them is simply superior. Indk21 wrote: I think it's not the point. Limbo and Shinra Tensei work completly diffrent. Shinra Tensei like other techniques of this kind (banshou tennin and chibaku tensei) use some kind of repulsive forces, propably gravity. The databook explains that TSB's are moved with the same "universal force" that gets mentioned in Shinra Tensei. On the other hand, both Shinra Tensei and Limbo have a similar function, namely invisible action at a distance. Sure Madara's is superior, but the principle here is the same.
