Nagato vs. 5 kages

[Ultimatelifeform]

- What you forget is that in the beginning of the fight, A is not supposed to know that Shinra tensei has a weakness of 5seconds at least if he doesn't have knowledge before. So he will be wondering how he could pass this defense.
- Also another thing you forget is that the time he got shinra tensei, he will go far away, and at that time the seconds will pass. He must stabilise himself after that and have enough time to come back. So i'm not sure he can. It's not about the most fastest man here, but it's about the capacity to resist enough and have time to come back after this shinra tensei. Even if you're slower than Raikage but you can resist shinra tensei, you could come and crush Deva before him(example with the Kyubi, with Naruto clones). So if Raikage can't resist shinra tensei, i seriously doubt even with his speed that he can make it.

- Also don't forget shinra tensei is gravity. It doesn't attack from outside, but from inside.

Well, A doesn't know about Shinra tensei, Tsunade should know and since this post includes the 5 kages, I think it's possible that Tsunade would explain everything to A, otherwise I don't know why not. Shinra tensei can also possibly be withstood by focusing chakra to feet. As Tsunade and the other anbu did. I personally believe A can withstand it. Even if he doesn't withstand it, you say he'd go far away, I don't think he'd go so far to the point where he can't get him in five seconds, and I think A's resilient enough to get back on his feet quick enough to counter within 5 seconds (if he can't withstand it) But it seems YOU forget that deva path couldn't use shinra tensei until all of the other paths are immobilized, therefore it's possible that after Naraka path gets destroyed by any which Kage, deva path could be the second path that gets destroy and wouldn't even get a chance to do anything.

When after deva path fought Kakashi, it took some time before he could use shinra tensei again, my mistake.

Deva Path is the Path who is the most protected after Naraka Path. I seriously doubt he will be crush that easily. If Nagato sense that Deva is in danger, he would use another Path to interfer to protect Deva. With the number(6Paths)+summons(i don't know what they could do against the cerberus for example), that gives enough time to Deva to do all what he want. And if he uses CT, i don't know what they could do.

Nagato is not idiot to believe he could beat Kages that easily without even using all his power. Against all this opponents, he will prefer using CT with Deva quickly as well, if he sense there is a danger and i don't know what the Kages will do against that.

Going to have to go with the Kages win if they have knowledge on the paths. Without it, they lose against them. Either way they lose against healthy Nagato imo.

True because he used Asura path to protect him. Agree with the rest as well.

Hmm, I give this to the kages if they have knowledge. Katsuya saved villagers from Almighty Push fp .

When Pain used Shinra Tensei to destroy Konoha, Katsuyu surrounded all the villagers to protect them from the blast and heal their injuries.

And the Katsuya on Naruto survived Chibaku tensei.

After Hinata Hyūga was stabbed and Naruto lost control of himself to the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the division on him observed this and reported the events to all the ninja in the village. The division on Naruto survived his transformation, and told him that he had not harmed Hinata or any of the other villagers while under the Nine-Tails' control, which greatly relieved him.

So if each Kage has a Katsuya summon Deva path becomes less of a threat as Katsuya would be the answer to his two strongest techniques. Weaker forms of shinra tensei I think could be countered by storing chakra in your feet like Tsunade and the Anbu did. Even he did pull Tsunade forth he'd be signing his death warrant assuming he managed to stab her she'd just punch him while she's still skewered and put an end to Deva Path. Basically if any Kage forms there strongest attack as they are flying toward Deva path, he's done for. Asura path if it decides to use weapons loses. If tsunade hadn't used all her chakra protecting the village I see no reason she couldn't have punched or kicked it. Raikage could blitz him, Gaara, could crush it with Sand, Mei could over power it with water, or destroy it with fire, Oonoki could probably pit it against the rock golem and win or just use jinton. Asura paths rockets aren't very fast as Chouji was running from it which means dodging should be too much of a problem for any kage and Gaara should be able to protect the other kages with his sand. If the Sharingan cannot keep up with Raikage's movements I doubt Nagato and the paths will be capable of it either. Tsunade could also take Preta as she has naturally legendary strength augmented by her chakra. She has the natural strength to lift Gamabunta's sword. The best counter for Human Path is Gaara as he would be able to easily protect himself with the sand while attacking with the sand. Raikage would easily destroy Naraka path as it can touch him he'd just blitz him a few times and its over. Animal Path presents most problems, but rather than hitting the summons and making them split Mei could user her Lava in to destroy the summons (it's hot enough to melt Susanoo), She could also user her fire release, and boil release (acidic enough to melt Susanoo) and because she is a Earth user with boil release she should know how to lock an enemy within a room so that she can use boil release (similar to what happened to Sasuke but on a larger scale) and if the Kages can counter the moves of the paths, then as a collective group they can counter Negato. Especially if he's crippled.
