Long post warning ahead. Let's start with facts. Nagato was multiple times stated to be an Uzumaki/Senju, not just Uzumaki. He had the Rinnegan since he was 5-6yrs old and started training to be a Ninja at LEAST at age 10, he died at age 35. He earned the title of Third Six Paths, Madara being the second. Either there is no chakra drain for Nagato, or his mastery of the Rinnegan is as good as an original Rinnegan owner and his chakra reserves are much, much more massive than we thought originally. Nagato himself can spam and simultaneously use all the techs of the Six Paths of Pain at at a much faster and higher level than the dead bodies. He could blitz across an entire field and surprise Hanzo, who took on and defeated all 3 Sannin. While not only having damaged legs, but being a weaker version of himself, an Edo Tensei.. he was able to nearly kill KCM Naruto and Killer Bee if not for Itachi's sneak attack and Sword of Totsuka(Kabuto didn't really know how to use Nagato for battle it seems..) He was also Kabuto's strongest Edo Tensei while he had bad legs, only behind an artificially enhanced Madara Edo Tensei. After fighting and killing Jiraiya with the dead bodies, he made his way to Konoha, killed Kakashi and Shizune, blew it up, fought and defeated Sage Mode Naruto(until Naruto went 8 tails and broke out of the Chibaku Tensei, which he was going to make an even bigger one) He then used Rinne Tensei to bring back everyone he killed that day in Konoha.. he did this while an emaciated dying cripple.. showing he has Massive chakra control and reserves and his mastery and usage of the Rinnegan is remarkable. He is also a master sensor type as he cannot be sensed by other Sensor types due to his ability to change his chakra signature and natures rapidly, yet at the same time he was such a masterful sensor that he was able to Sense Kabuto from a massive distance, and THROUGH a sensor proof barrier.. something the sensor division could never do. His taijutsu that his human path dead body alone showcased was able to go toe to toe in all aspects with Jiraiya in Sage Mode. Only Jiraiya's initial kick was able to touch it. Nagato was stated to be on a whole other level compared to the paths and that counts too so his Taijutsu, speed, and raw strength are incredible. Even while an emaciated dying cripple, Obito and Black Zetsu expressed shock and disbelief that ANYONE could beat the Six Paths of Pain and Nagato(Nagato was not beaten, he just sacrificed himself to bring everyone back, which is even further showing he was not defeated) Konan stated that if he was not low on Chakra, he would not die from using Rinne Tensei, showing further that his Chakra control, Rinnegan mastery, and chakra reserves are incredible. Nagato himself has never lost a single battle according to Konan in all his 35yrs, 1v1 or not. Through the Preta Path Nagato could even absorb Sage Mode chakra unaffected, showing he could balance and control it. Only when Naruto started massively gathering even more natural energy unexpectedly did the Preta Path turn to stone. Nagato's knowledge of jutsu and Konoha was learned through Jiraiya first and then later through his own experience and years. Nagato was explicitly called the Strongest member of the entire Akatsuki, while he was a cripple. Nagato can absorb any Ninjutsu and any chakra used against him no matter what it is, easily absorbing Sage Mode Jiraiyas "Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan (仙法・超大玉螺旋丸, Senpō: Chō Ōdama Rasengan).[3] Although it has not been successfully used in the series, it is said that its destructive power – were it to explode – would easily carve away an entire mountain.[1]" and Killer Bee's Bijuu chakra.

Nagato can also use Asura Path to grow extra arms and use all of the techs with the extra arms. Nagato can use the King of Hell tech to rip the soul of a person and store the soul and body in it, then restore the soul and body at a later time. He can use the King of Hell to repair and heal himself or his Six Paths bodies if he needs to, clothes and all.

Nagato can Summon the Gedo Mazo for assault purposes if need be, although initially he had to be synced with it to use it.

Nagato has invented and can use many powerful and useful Ninjutsu and other techs.

Such as

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Five-Seal_Barrier

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Genjutsu_Protect

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_Doorway_Technique

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Magic_Lantern_Body_Technique

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Mirrored_Sudden_Attacker_Technique

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Sealing_Technique:_Phantom_Dragons_Nine_Consuming_Seals

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Rain_Tiger_at_Will_Technique

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Shapeshifting_Technique

Essentially the only type of Jutsu he is never shown using are Genjutsu.

Going by how Itachi who is a genjutsu master, along with Kakashi who is very adept in Genjutsu did not attempt to use it on Nagato it can be assumed visual Genjutsu cannot work on him.

Only http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Frog_Song

has been shown to work on him, though it didn't take him too long to get out of it.

Nagato while a cripple and low on chakra, is able to use a large scale shinra tensei to level a place as large as Konoha. He can also hide in his chameleon and not even a KCM Naruto could sense or find him. With his Rinnegan Nagato can see barriers. Nagato can also produce Black Rods and use them as receivers or weapons. He can use them to immobilize his opponents by stabbing them throughout their body. Nagato can also absorb any Chakra or Ninjutsu related impact to his body, negating all damage at the same time. He also has connected vision to all of his summonings and to any of the Six Paths bodies he has.

I am positive I am missing some more, somebody feel free to add to this.

This is how I see this going. Nagato wins with high difficulty. He does not have bad legs here, he is not a cripple, he is healthy, and he is not an Edo Tensei and there is no plot here to protect Sasuke or limit Nagato. As shown with Ao looking at Shisui's Sharingan in Danzo's head, transplanted eyes retain their original owners chakra and chakra color so Nagato does indeed have Six Paths chakra in him, which is hinted to be needed to use the Six Paths techs...

Nagato has been limited and beaten by plot and plot alone in series. There is no plot protection here, and there is no plot here.

Nagato wins with high difficulty, thanks to the nuisance techs Complete-Body Susanoo and Amenotejikara, the battle drags on for a long time and keeps Sasuke in the run. But in the end Nagato has more chakra and has better mastery and usage of the Rinnegan so he outlasts and kills Sasuke.. thanks to his Sensory abilities Sasuke cannot catch him off guard or hide. This is not bias. This is what we have been shown about Nagato through databooks and manga.. if you disagree that is your opinion and speculation alone. Keep in mind the quantity of chakra and quality of chakra Sasuke had at his fight with Kaguya and Naruto were not his, but Hagoromo's super powerful chakra which he expended and no longer has.. he has his own Six Paths chakra just like Madara did in old age when he awakened his own Rinnegan, which is not the same quality of quantity as Hagoromo's by far. Sasuke does not have Senjutsu or Sage Mode, and he is not a Sensor type. Sasuke only has visual Genjutsu at his disposal and they were proven to not be as effective as you'd think considering he never even attempted to use them against Kaguya or Naruto. So in the end, as I have said.. only CB Susanoo and Amenotejikara keep him in this fight until the end when he loses.
