Nagato had it for at least 29 years, as his parents died when he was 6 according to DB4 and he then "awakens" it and uses it to kill the Konoha Ninja in a rage BUT he didn't even start mastering it until right after Yahiko dies.. Obito started to teach him everything that Madara taught Obito and Obito was 13 then and Nagato is 4 years older than Obito.. so 35-17=18 So Nagato has 18yrs of mastery with it which is why he was better with it than the other shown users.. also he was never taught Limbo or Tengai Shinsei so how could he use something he doesn't even know exists?? Obito taught him all the stuff he knows concerning Rinnegan when Obito was 13.. but Madara apparently never told Obito about Limbo or Tengai Shinsei. Therefor if Nagato knew Limbo and Tengai he would have used them.. besides Madara was in Sage Mode when he used all those techs, boosting them up a lot. Remember he stole Hashirama's Sage energy and used his Hashi face on his chest to enter and maintain Sage Mode? Madara was powered up a lot with Senjutsu when he did all that.
