According to the databook, Preta Path can absorb all ninjutsu, regardless of its properties.

Edo Tensei is Ninjutsu. Therefore if a Rinnegan user comes into physical contact with an Edo Tensei body, they can absorb it.

Madara didn't absorb Hashirama simply because he needed to absorb the SM not the Edo Tensei.

I agree. If Juubito's jutsu (can't spell it) can do that then I don't see why Preta Path can't.

Well, er, same thing applies to alive shinobi too. If Nagato sucked all the chakra out of them, they'd die.

This only applies to complete Ninjutsu techniques. For instance, if the user uses an Earth jutsu, you can't absorb the land. Techniques absorbed with Preta Path need to use only chakra, and not an element. They can absorb cloaks, Rasengan, Kamui, etc. Chakra too. Edo Tensei can't really be absorbed, especially the Edo corpses, since they're not ninjutsu themselves, but made through it.

This, chakra in the Narutoverse is the makeup of people, so, apparently Rinnegan users can absorb people too.

But this is just hyperbole at the end of the day, if it were true, we would see Kakashi and Itachi capable of killing any and every shinobi in the Narutoverse.

So you think Preta could absorb Shinra tensei as well? How about Mokuton, Magnet release, Explosion release... the list goes on. It's good, but not perfect.

This is not correct. Jirayia's boiling oil got absorbed despite it being a solid jutsu that isn't pure charka.

Yes, they are ninjutsu.

It works similarly to Obito's Onmyoudon derived technique except it absorbs instead of nullifies and works against senjutsu.

You mean, they have to hold down the Edo tensei first.

Madara had to immobilize Hashirama and absorb/preta him via 4 black rods.

People make preta seem easier said, then it is actually done.

Preta Path eats up the chakra used in the jutsu so it breaks down or diminishes

It's not an automatic ninjutsu disabler like most people think

That can also be said about that Konoha's fodder shinobi right at the start of the Pain invasion when his Katon was absorbed. However, this can't work on Doton-like techniques. Especially not Edo Tensei. Also, absorbing a jutsu applied on you is more logical than absorbing a jutsu done on someone else. Don't think it works.

It was created through the use of Chakra, meaning that its base attributes where chakra. Edo Tensei doesn't use chakra as a base, they use human life.
