Being weakened is something you can use as a counter, but being aware isn't. Obito got blitzed, that is really all there is to it. Not sure how him being unaware that Minato marked him changes his reaction timing. Minato teleported to him, attacked, and Obito couldn't react.
Even if Touken is wrong and striking speed is still a factor (Which it isn't) Obito failed to react after Minato marked him. Why would Nagato react? You might say that Obito was unaware, but how does that change his reaction timing? How does that even matter when Nagato won't be aware when he gets hit.
And Minato wasn't even trying to kill B, so that is a non applicable example.
Also for your Asura Path point, its also wrong. Nagato has NEVER shown the ability to change his actual body into mechanical parts. He's only shown the ability to create more mechanical parts. Not to mention you have shown no evidence for how your view on Asura Path's workings.
Nagato still wins, but if he gets marked, its over. He isn't going to remove the marking via Asura for the reason listed above, and because he can't react. And he's not going to react, at all.
Fair enough.
@Asura not changing the composition of his body. I didn't show evidence you are correct.

alone should make it obvious that his newly formed Asura hand is not the same as his regular hand. The same can be implied for any body part using Asura. Here are some examples of the differing compositions Asura can chose to take on to change his bodily composition or create differing external body compositions (do note real life logic doesn't always apply)..: [

There is no reason for me to believe he wasn't trying to kill Bee when he struck to kill against Ay, but ended up slicing the tail in half.
Anyways, I already stated around 5 times now that people are skipping everything that comes before tagging Nagato, yet another one comes and speaks about the same thing. My main argument was about how Minato's FTG kunai's will not be anywhere near Nagato, Toad summons die to one ST, and Minato will keep having to FTG 100's of meters away and using Hirashin to come back. CT ends him as well. There's no reason to debate if he can tank what comes after the tagging when the tagging will never occur in the first place.
