So I keep seeing that Animal paths summons will easily break out of Mokuton.
No but you have to understand that he would have to catch Animal paths strong enough to break thrrough buildings. One that can go underground. One that is super fast fly and throw bombs. Harishima would have to locate them and restrain them all at once while holding down Nagato. Not an easy task at all.
First of all you guys are utterly wrong. Hashirama fought to control several tailed beasts. He obviously used mokuton to gain control over them and any tailed beast would destroy all of pains summons (maybe except for low tailed beasts 1,2,3). And how is petra path going to protect the animals from getting knocked unconscience? his range only goes so far.
He used Mokoton to supreess their chakra because they are just masses of it. These animals are different from tailed beast. The spores is the only thing that can actually work to defend himself from the animals. However each of the beast are different and can't be effected to take on 8 at a time.
I keep hearing that he can use all of them at once.
Id like an example of a combo that Nagato would use that Hashirama couldn't counter. And Mokuton can do many things at once.
Easy while Hashirama is being attacked by 8 boss summonings. Nagato deva path is easily throwing him off. Causing him to be attacked by missles or any of Nagatos attacks.
People keep bashing bringer of darkness.
It stops eye sight which is needed to see chakra points. No eye sight means no seeing chakra points.

Now you people are questioning his intelligence?
He is a battle hardened ninja who has fought many powerful ninja.
Including Uchiha and Madara who was no push over. We can assume that he is much smarter than jariya or Naruto since they were not the most intelligent charaters ever. They managed to do an awful lot.
I'm not saying hes not smart. It's just theres no way to figure out the paths power in 1 fight. Without any intel not much he can do.
As for gedo mazo.
Nagato lost his ability to move after using it and it drained his chakra so much that it left him crippled. And you cant say that prime Nagato has Gedo mazo while it was powered by tailed beasts because thats BS. And mokuton could hold it down or hashirama can avoid it long enough to keep from getting touched and nagato runs out of chakra.
Nagato synced to Gedo Mazo to use the phantom dragon technique. Which in no way can be countered by Mokoton. You can read it here

The Statue is able to emit dragon-like forms of energy from its mouth. When these dragons come into contact with ordinary humans, the humans' souls are ripped from their bodies, killing them. The phantom dragon can easily run through solid object.
And remember that Hashirama Can bulid a forest which gives him full advantage over the area and more mobility than Nagato.
Nagato deva path ability is enough to push his wood aside without using Shinra Tensei. Note it was able to push back 3 boss summonings at once.
As for shinra tensai. He has a time interval between each use or he would have just spammed it during each fight. You cant say he uses a shinra tensai that destroys the whole forest and act like it wouldnt drain chakra or have an interval of time until he can preform it.
Ok
