if Nagato tries to hide in his chameleon, Minato can use Sage Mode to sense it out like the Sage frogs did, he can enter sage mode practically instantly apparently. That sensing thing seems to be a Shima ability, not a Sage Mode ability, so hiding in the chameleon is still a perfectly viable option for Nagato.

And Nagato can use his Ashura enhancements to grab Minato, and he can definitely kill Minato here, because even with Minato's reflexes, he will still be surprised (something along the lines of :What he can absorb an entire ninjutsu???) and the extra limbs will be surprising too, as well as the hidden weapons. But I think 5 times out of 10, his superior reflexes can let him tag and escape. So if Minato survives the initial scuffle, he will go on to analyze and win. ' Cought by surprise or not Ashura Path wont be able to get Nagato the kill.

@LegionZero, do you have any proof that FTG barrier is short range? because wiki says all ranges and seems to get its info from databooks. He should be able to open the barrier anywhere in space (that he can see). Also, why would the gravity crush him if it didn't crush itachi or bee? Pein arc naruto was only trapped in chibaku tensei because in v2 mode he is mostly instinct and fury, not strategic, and also Pain created the space necessary to let the chibaku tensei build up. Minato is calm and analytical he will be able to FTG the core long before it becomes a big threat. In 520 Minato used it mid-range and ive looked up the databook and the only translation i found doesnt specify range. Regardless he has to be stationary for the duration of the jutsu and hasnt been shown to use it any other way. If throwing a kunai was how it worked he wouldnt have done so instead of teleporting the whole Alliance.

Also, Chibaku Tensei didnt crush Itachi or B because they werent near the center. Once 6 tailed Naruto made contact with the outer surface he was rendered immobile. Getting near the core no doubt crushes whatever is close.
