The fact that Wood Release is a form of ninjutsu and is made up of chakra is what makes it futile against the Preta Path. Nagato may not recover chakra as a result of Wood Release's similar absorption and sealing properties, but Preta Path would still prevent the technique from doing any real harm. There's also the fact that the summonings could tank the hit for Nagato, especially the Panda and the Dog summoning.

But Nagato can't absorb it, Madara didn't (the wood dragon in particular)

I'd argue that Obito would have a tougher time touching Nagato than vice versa. Obito can't suck Nagato into Kamui and remain intangible at the same time, which means that all of Nagato's extended Asura arms, his real arms, his wires and his rockets are gonna be flailing around him causing him to go intangible often. The Soul Steal bluff was simply the last resort if the Asura mechanisms didn't keep Obito at bay.

Obito can also speed up the time at which he absorbs, like when he absorbed all the explosion tags mixed with Konan, and we don't know if Nagato can reach Obito from the distorted space, because nobody did, while they could've launched a kunai or something, giving that people that were not suked in were able to do that

Obito wouldn't be able to genjutsu a Rinnegan user as easily as he did to Fu and Torune, especially with the summonings granting shared vision. He'd deduce him being in a genjutsu easily.

I always thought that wherever Obito was in the Kamui dimension was "proportionate" (probably the wrong term) to the real world. So like, Obito travels in the Kamui dimension and then when he reaches his destination, he just shifts into the real world.

He doesn't have to genjutsu people to beat them in his dimension, I'm saying that he has control over his space, othervise swirling people into kamui in his figth with KCM Naruto wouldn't have been a good idea

I'm pretty sure it has been established that Izanagi lasts for one whole minute. If Obito still chilled in his spot, he would have still died from Konan's explosion. Izanagi has shown that the user can change their location as well, which is what Obito probably did. Whilst the explosion continued, he disappeared and reappeared somewhere close by and waited until the technique ended.

Ah yeah my bad, his Izanagi lasted longer because of half of his body being Hashirama cells, essentially. But either way, 1 minute and 5 minutes is still shorter than the 10 minutes of explosions, so the original point still stands.

I didn't say that it lasted 10 min, the paper bomb explosions lasted for that long, but Kamui lasts for 5 min, so he has Izanagi for the other 5
