Nagato has the Rinnegan. He is the second Uzumaki with the Rinnegan, same as the Sage. Shouldn't that put him a cut above the rest?
Hashirama -
Preta Path > Ordinary Mokuton
Shinra Tensei would knock Shinsusenju down, especially from a healthy Nagato. Once Shinsusenju is down, I'm sure it would have a hard time getting up.
If that doesn't work then Bansho Ten'in + Human Path could end Hashirama right there, I don't see any counters to that.
EMS Madara -
Rinnegan > EMS, nuff said
In case someone decides to try and contradict the manga, Nagato has the ability to fly. Madara's PS slash only goes in a certain area, Nagato can fly under or above the slash allowing to dodge it. If the slight chance Nagato gets in the force of the slash then he can counter with Shinra Tensei. Once he gets close he would Preta Path the Susano'o, and Madara can not spam it over and over again.
And also Bansho Ten'in can pull Madara out of Susano'o, and followed with Human Path.
Obito -
The only offensive Obito has is to teleport someone, which requires close range and staying tangible, allowing Nagato to Shinra Tensei his ass to Mexico. There is also a theory that Shinra Tensei counters Kamui, but I'm not going to get into that.
Naruto -
Naruto is a walking chakra monster. All of Naruto's ranged attacks require chakra allowing easy Preta Path (Bijuudama, Rasenshuriken) and if Naruto tries to blitz, well...
That's why Nagato is the strongest ninja ever, and the only ninja who was ever called GOD.
