and how would be the soul-absorbing jutsu? ^_^

@Daniel8000

yeah, you are right, the path alone may not be able to restrain a opponent for to long, but if it can, it would have a great advantage for the whole battle ^_^ and i agree thhat only if someone can figure out the timelimit of the deva path, they could counter it, but it isnt such a small weakness either, a clone would force him to use a large scale version (maybe with a trap) and while the clone is attacked it would be possible to attack him while the person can only rely on his other abilities (if he doesnt have the other paths)... well, with the other pathhs, the asura path would give someone such a hugh advantage in close and middle ranges taijutsu-combat ^_^

@Aka Shi Crow

i agree, it is a plothole indeed, a bigger one is that if nagato was able to use the 7th path, he could have used it in order to revive his friend, furthermore, if obito simply brought Rins corpse to nagato, obito could have influenced him in reviving both of them (and it would work since madara was also resurrected, and he was longer dead than the other ones) ^_^
