1) "If they werent as fast as he was then he wouldnt rely on them in vital situations like 554 where he uses it on 3rd Rai and even acknowledges that he knows how fast the Raikage are. " Just like when Naruto ran at the Ten Tails in Kurama Chakra Mode after finding out only Sage techniques work on it. Cause his judgement is always right, right? Show me one chapter. I looked at chapters and didn't see anything that states what you state.

2) "there is a lot of context behind that statement that you ignore and the only Uchiha known to anyone in the shenobi world to control Kurama was Madara." Chapter 551. He stated the Uchiha as a whole could control Kurama. The only known eye technique is Sharingan: Genjutsu, and Sasuke and Itachi both have it. So yea, I'll say it again, Manga > You. And as the wiki states this already, wiki > you. And why? Well same reason Obito didn't kill them all when he had every chance to. He could of spammed Ten Tail's beast balls before the Hokage even arrived to save them. Madara himself stated, Obito wanted to break Naruto's will. Obito himself stated he wanted to break him and showcase that he wasn't wrong on the path he chose since Naruto chose the path and ideals of a young Obito. So how will Genjutsu accomplish that? And for Madara, he merely tested his ability. Why didn't Madara just spam Meteors and kill them all or any of his other devastating techniques that could of ended them all before the Hokage arrived? Or why didn't he Shinra Tensei them all, or Chibaku Tensei, or why didn't he ever try to use Genjutsu on Naruto, Hashirama, or the other? Heck, that whole why statement can be used back at you. Why didn't Obito? He's already stated to have controlled a Jinchuriki like Yagura who was stated to have full control of his Tailed Beast. So why didn't he just personally control them all himself and take them? The answer is merely plot.

3) Not if he was interrupted and lost focus. So yea, just your interpretation, no two and two to put together. Anyone can interpret the Manga differently. I've given another reasonable interpretation. But yours and this one aren't fact unless stated to be so. And they're not.

4) Contact Preta has only been shown to absorb Chakra from a host in contact with them and not techniques. The barrier is what absorbs techniques. That requires hands to be raised. Once a Genjutsu from Itachi is cast, it will already instantly have Obito in the Genjutsu. Step 1) Obito recognizes the Genjutsu. Step 2) He activates Preta Path, raising his arms, and activating the technique itself. The absorption barrier is a technique. All techniques require the manipulation of Chakra to perform. One does not manipulate their Chakra, raise their hand, detect Genjutsu, and think instantly. Sorry, but in the Narutoverse, no one is faster than time. This isn't Dragon Ball. Finally, Step 3) Absorption.

4) Good for you. Too bad I haven't seen a reason to do the same. So oh well, get over it. This is still the wiki. If we are going to debate on this site, I see no reason why I can't use it as a source.

5) Lol. Do you argue for the sake of arguing then? Get that bull out of here. I clearly stated he required a hand raised to absorb techniques, since every user was shown to raise their arm. Which you butted in and said he didn't. That is how the topic on this started. You gave that incident as an example saying he was preoccupied with Human Path. I merely stated he used them in conjunction so he still had his hand raised. Now you're asking why we are debating it? Riot. Ask yourself why.

@Ninja of War

Though I respect your opinion, I disagree. The Rinnegan is always active, yes. But Preta Path is not. The steps are, 1) Recognize. 2) Activate. 3) Counter. He has to see he is in Genjutsu. Activate his barrier technique which involves raising his hands always, as shown. Finally absorb. None of this happen instantly since he still has to think, and instantly would mean Obito is faster than time itself, which is definitely not true.
