[Kagustuchi]

Conditions: Nagato is "Complete", Hashirama is alive

PoB: Valley
Restrictions: Sage Mode

Hashirama wins.

Preta Path is not a viable counter to Mokuton in any way, shape or form, as Mokuton are real trees, and unless Nagato can absorb trees (He can't) Preta is useless here.

Spoiler

Databook on Mokuton:

A unique secret technique that creates life, tearing through the ground!!

A legendary technique that turns chakra into a source of life.

Mokubunshin:

A clone created by altering one's own cells with chakra.

Databook 3 - Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu:

A technique that changes one's own arm into big trees. Using chakra, the cells are transformed into trees. Then, by activating the trees, stimulating them to grow rapidly, they lengthen at high speed and fork into many branches.

Databook 3 - Mokuton: Mokujouheki:

This technique uses chakra to activate the roots in the ground and...

Databook 3 - Mokuton: Shichuuka no Jutsu:

By sending chakra into the ground, the roots of the plants are converted into raw material

This is further supported by the life giving properties of the Kyuubi's Yang Chakra causing Mokuton to accelerate in growth multiple times.

As Hashirama has full intel, starting with something like Flower Tree World would cause Nagato to have to rely on his Chou Shinra Tensei in order to blow away the forest so he doesn't fall asleep. Once that happens he can't use Deva's powers anymore and ends up getting raped by Hashirama's Mokuton jutsu like, Wood God, Jukai Kotan, FTW, etc.

CT isn't happening as Nagato falls asleep to the pollen if he tries to start off with that, and once he blows the forest away, he loses Deva's powers for a while so still no CT. Then he gets finished off.

Hashirama low- mid difficulty. The PP isn't working against him, the CT is not enough against the SS.

Preta Path is the pivotal point of this match. If it works, then Nagato wins with relative ease. If not, Nagato stands little chance.
