Its odd that a normal smoke bomb can block the rinnegan's vision when sharingan can see chakra through solid rock. And Madara being able to see chakra points makes it seem like rinnegan would have some ability to see through a simple smoke bomb.

Theory: Nagato is never shown looking at chakra points and its said only a original owner of the rinnegan can use rinnegan to its full power. So maybe Nagato can't use the rinnegan's vision ability's as well as Sasuke and Madara can. Sasuke has access to sharingan power with his rinnegan that Nagato doesn't have.
