A human with godlike powers and the greatest ninja in uchiha history. So yes. And its still your opinion which you think is the most plausible but do not have any proof to back them as always. While we know Madara has preta path and yet he still couldn't absorb the Lava RS. The argument that he was in a state of surprise that Naruto avoided his limbo is true but he couldn't absorb the RS because of that after being hit is just ridiculous.I think it's a vacuous presumption that Madara could judiciously react to everything simply because he's experienced just based on the sole principle that he's human.
That said, everything points towards my argument being more plausible as elaborated previously and you're honestly needlessly scrutinizing this feat. Do you honestly think Kishimoto sat down and said, "Well, are people going to assume Madara cannot use Preta Path even though he has a Rinnegan and has used it previously? Nah, probably not. He went with his head which is why the War Arc is an immense clusterfck.
Besides Madara already absorbed Naruto's RS once so why would Naruto throw another RS and waste his chakra needlessly. Its because its not the same basic RS but a much superior one.
So lets see what's plausible. Madara can use preta path and had absorbed Naruto's RS once. Naruto knows this. Madara was completely taken by surprise when Naruto avoided his limbo and his entire chain of thought was revolving around how Naruto did that. Naruto creates Lava RS knwoing Madara had absorbed his normal one once and Madara is still thinking about Naruto avoiding his limbo as per you lol. Naruto throws the RS and Madara is still thinking about Naruto avoiding his limbo again as per you. The RS hits Madara and he's still thinking about Naruto avoiding the limbo again as per you. Yeah that sounds real plausible....
