But Preta Path =/= Blocking Technique Absorption Seal, each Path has been shown to have more than one technique, so Sasuke can seemingly only use Preta Path to absorb chakra, but he doesn't know how to use the barrier to nullify Ninjutsu

<p>I think we have enough information to say that Rinnegan techniques are not the same as power, and while Powers are immediate, techniques have to be figured out by the user.

Deva Path gives the POWER to control gravity, but it's techniques (chibaku Tensei, Shinra Tensei, Bansho Tenin) have to be learned.

Yep, I'm also sure it's Momoshiki's unique Rinnegan technique. Probably, it could be speculated that since Momoshiki's Rinnegan differs from the normal Rinnegan (placement, colour, absorption skills etc), his abilities must be different as well, but that's not what I think because Momoshiki has shown some techniques that are common for every Rinnegan user (black receivers, for example).

<p>I suspect the Rinnegan's basic Dojutsu power is Power over Chakra. It can see chakra, it can manifest will, it can easily learn elemental transforms and jutsu. The Purple Rinnegan is special in that it gives control over Six Paths Chakra (which itself is power over life and death) and so gives greater power and death-themed powers.
