@ItachiWasAHero Dude, no need to be harsh. It's really not appreciated and I deem just generally offensive, I'm trying my best to be civil here. I'm not going to get into a petty argument over this so I'll ignore like half of what you just said...

I don't tend to go by the info on this wiki during debates as this wiki can be (and often is) wrong, at the end of the day anyone can edit it. (The other day, someone put on the "Naruto: The Last" page that Neji was confirmed to be in it, and Nagato's page currently references non-canon stuff in the form of the "Mecha-Naruto special" when describing his intellect.

If you actually check the chapter, Obito says that the power of the Rinnegan was so strong (potent) that he almost lost himself. As in he might have lost himself to Madara's chakra in the eye, almost like being possessed. He never mentions that he didn't have the stamina to handle them both. It would explain Nagato's change in personality after obtaining the Rinnegan and his ability to control his own will at the end of the fight with Naruto was mainly due to Naruto's words.

Tbh, Nagato only using the Rinne techniques shows that he wasn't confident using any of his own abilities. And Obito didn't use them for himself as he knew how Naruto had already defeated those techniques. Hence why he didn't make the Edo Jinchuuriki use them all the time since they had unlimited chakra.

My arguments are always informed as I check source material to make sure I'm correct before posting, I'm not saying I'm perfect but no-one is, and there will always be an element of speculation to any debate, but I keep that to a bare minimum. Where is it ever stated that only sound Genjutsu works on Nagato anyway? He's never had any Genjutsu training.

I also never suggested that I'd make Nagato fight as a cripple, I am talking about Nagato in his prime.

I agree that Susanoo can be absorbed by Nagato, but the question is how quickly? Fast enough for him to not first get cut in half? Plus Sasuke can more than likely also absorb chakra as well.
