I agree with the prep part, it's quite a dragging procedure enough to run away from. And although Nagato isn't stupid enough to waste so much chakra on Sasuke and use that Shinra Tensei, but even if he does, Sasuke has counters like MS Hawk and CS2. Also, Sasuke can take advantage of that extensive recharge time period to finish him off.
You've done your research about it about it quite well, I'm impressed. I never though about that, even though my brain works pretty good when it comes to developing Sasuke's counters.
Precisely. Almighty Push isn't a fast tech. It requires a lot of prep time. That is a large window for Sasuke to react, either to fly up or take out Pain himself as there is no path around to stop him.
There is nothing about Sasuke's character or skill-set that I don't know. :bdpf:
You're right, Hinata survives it = Anybody survives it. But there was one powerful one also which sent Gamabunta and two other toads flying towards the outskirts of the village, something to take note of. Sasuke surely will survive a repulsion with Susanoo of course, but the returning towards Pain's location will take more than 5 sec in which Pain's powers will be recharged for another shot. So basically Sasuke will act like a persistent bug which will tire the crap out of Pain.
Yes, there was that Gamabunta part. Hard so say why it happened. But it failed to do any decent damage to humans. Since we are only concerned with humans, then that example applies. For example, Pain's ST completely destroyed Kakashi large Doton attack, but nothing happened to Kakashi's bones.
Hinata was pushed so far into rocks that they poked out, yet, Hinata was still breathing. Probably fazed, as Pain still had to stab her to get the job done. Which means she was fine otherwise. ST is definitely not a killing tech, only Almighty Push is, which can be avoided through flight with ease or going for Pain himself.
Yes, if thought about, there are counters for Pain's Shinra Tensei as well. The only thing left is Chibaku Tensei. Got any counters for that?
No. Sasuke has to stop Pain before he launches it. Which should be easy as 1) paths are completely put out of commission, 2) Deva has to run to a location that is close enough to Nagato and 3) he has to build up a very large volume of chakra.
All of this can be easily detected by Sasuke and Sharingan. Not a problem. Since Sasuke can stop him before that, there isn't any need to do anything else.
P.s:
This base never stops being stupid:
1- Sasuke's Shuriken-jutsu is better than Itachi's:
Sasuke starts using Fuma-Shurikens here:

Then performs many actions in between:
1) He jumps up, 2) uses Chidori blade with one wing, 3) cuts off the Dragon's wing and 4) goes down:

And guess what? He was
STILL using Fuma Shurikens during all the above actions and pinned Deidara down as well, who was flying in air:

- Deidara, "
Are these the same Shurikens he threw a second ago!"
Shows a lot where his Shuriken-jutsu prowess lie, along with his reaction rate. Clearly superior than Minato's. But then again, all Uchihas have excellent Reaction Rate and Speed. So, no surprises there.
2) Kirin is Natural Lightning. PP can only absorb Chakra.
