Nagato need to actively be able to react, in order to activate Shinra Tensei, which he won't be able to since, like I said over and over gain, Sasuke is immensely faster than him. Ameno + Chidori combo is literally all Sasuke had to do in order to kill Nagato. That's not all Sasuke can do in order to kill Nagato, though. There are so many other things he can do I'm saying Nagato will know Sasuke is attacking him from behind with his sensor skills, he just won't have the speed to react. However, assuming he can use Shinra Tensei instantly (and by that I mean like the time Minato beat Obito), he would be able counter the attack.

The second part of it, is that Nagato can spam. When Sasuke get knocked back, he can use Ameno again to strike. This would happen nearly instantly, still faster than Nagato could react. This means this entire thing happened faster than Nagato can take a step. Assuming Shinra Tensei is an expanding ball that has a radius of around 5 metres in this instance (it's obviously variable), the previous ball would not have dissipated. Can Nagato use another Shinra Tensei this quickly? If the answer is yes, then my Nagato wins 7/10 still applies. If the answer is no, then Sasuke will win with mid-difficulty.

Just to clarify, I will try to make a .gif tomorrow that shows that the answer of yes is stupid and ridiculous, but ultimately, it is not stated to be impossible in the series.
