DB4 states that Ashura summons (as in, Kuchiyose) advanced weapons. Animal summons creatures, but also said to improve Nagato's mobility. It's strange that all animals have the same features as the Six Paths technique itself (Black rods and rinnegan), suggesting they're just dead animals Naraka ressurected.

Naruto's control over gravity and ninjutsu nullification (TSB's) suggests that Six Paths Power has universal abilities, and Rinnegan and SPSM simply specialize these.

E.g Human Path is simply an advanced Yamanaka clan jutsu (DB4 suggests that the act of mind-reading so fast naturally leads to the person dying). So: Deva Path is special application of Gravity Ashura Path is summoning of tools Human Path is mind reading Animal Path is summoning of animals Preta Path is ninjutsu absorbtion (special application of master of chakra) Naraka Path "beckons" the king of hell, which grants control over souls but doesn't seem to be needed explicitly. Hagoromo wasn't shown using it when bringing the Kage back to the impure world.

I wish that too, i would love to see a greater explanation of Six Paths power and all that and what exactly Naruto and Sasuke can and cannot do.
