Notice in the manga, he yells out whatever path he uses before he used it, there fore if I hit him with a jutsu before he can activate preta path, it is not absorbed.No,dear.
You classified Susano'o as chakra,Preta Path absorbs chakra.At this point there's no reason to believe Nagato was incapable of absorbing it eventhough the sealing had started.
''He was snapped into ''consciousness''??
Where did you get such BS from?
Next question please.
