I said that when Minato marks Nagato, it's pretty much over, and that Nagato does have the tools to postpone that for quite a while.

Considering he FTG'd Biju bombs, it's safe to say he could launch it as an attack in combination with FTG. I don't think Nagato could survive one point blank.

I mentioned specifically that it makes direct chakra absorbtion from the Preta Path utterly lethal. Remember that Naruto defeated Preta precisely by gathering Natural energy. No matter how you put it, fact remains that Minato can use attacks in Sage Mode. He's not terribly experienced at it, but he knows Perfect Sage mode, and that's all you need to prevent a Preta endgame tactic. Something, by the way, that Nagato could attempt and die from. Abilities like Frog Kata come almost naturally with it, greatly enhancing his Taijutsu against the Rinnegan shared vision. So he can always use Sage Mode if needed. I'm not sure what Minato means by "i can't use it for long". Naruto could also only hold it for 5 minutes (not very long) against pain yet he did fine. FTG+Rasengan is done in a second, and unlike against Obito he could go for an actual kill and Rasengan the guy repeatedly, which by the way he can do every other second or so (considering how fast he conjured said rasengan against Obito)
