Minato is the only one that needs to anticipate it bc he can teleport his teammates due to kyubi cloaks. Plus KCM Minato is Edo so chakra not an issue
Only in Scenario 2. Which means this strategy fails hard in scenario 1. That and it just fails hard altogether based on this scan.

Doesn't matter, because Nagato can't detect Ay's position the instant he stops moving. He has no sensing feat that lets him do that. Ay stops for a second, and then he's off again before Nagato can say "Shinra Tensei"
Umm what? First of all Sensing allows you to sense someone's presence no matter where they are. Following their movements is a different thing altogether. Second of all we've seen how consistent Shunshin can be used and it doesn't align with any of this. Then we have the fact that Ay stopping at all means his position will be sensed. This has literally nothing to do with sensing feats. The reason why Nagato wouldn't be able to follow Ay is because he is moving. If he's not moving he'll sense his position. What you are saying is akin to me saying that Sasuke won't see Ay the moment he isn't moving because he's so fast.

lol)
Whether or not he can evade Shinra Tensei after stopping is the question here and you pretty much don't have any real evidence to support that being possible considering Ay can't predict Shinra Tensei, meaning he'll have to run indefinitely to avoid it, which is impossible.
Nagato "saying" Shinra Tensei isn't necessary and doesn't even happen on several occasions.
Yes really.
Nagato is very liberal with his use of Shinra Tensei. Does not take much to provoke him into using it
-repelled Amaterasu from his body w/ it when he could have absorbed it with Preta.
-Used it on Hinata multiple times when he could have handled her w/ taijutsu
-uses it for surprise attacks which have no defensive purpose [

Bad examples considering Nagato didn't have the support of two other people here.
All it takes is Ay or Gai to stop moving for a second and charge in. Nagato will see it as an opportunity to attack and use ST on them. From nagato's perspective he is safely inside Susanoo and can pick them off one by one so if he sees an opportunity he will take it, not realizing it is a feint. Or, Gai uses Hirudora and Nagato repels it. (Like you said, full intel does not mean that they know every detail of a tech. They don't know that Susanoo would tank anyway so why risk it?)
@bold: Itachi blocked a mountain destroying bolt of lightning with a Susanoo
inferior to his strongest one. He's not going to have Nagato expose himself for a giant mass of air pressure used by Gai. Literally no reason for Nagato to use Shinra Tensei to repel attacks that would bounce of Susanoo nor is there any reason for him to rely on Shinra Tensei when he has:
-Kabuto's
various attacks.
-Susanoo for close range attacks.
My argument never was for Minato to approach and tag Susanoo by himself so you wasted your time with this.
Except it really doesn't matter whether or not he approaches by himself. Nagato and Kabuto's justu make it impossible for him or the others to do anything and Susanoo prevents them from being hurt at all.
he contents of a bag will be physically touching the bag. We see that Susanoo must be made hollow on the inside in order to accomodate others inside Susanoo

Unless Nagato and Kabuto are literally touching the perimeter of Susanoo there is no reason they will be teleported away. A more accurate analogy is an eskimo and an igloo. Minato can teleport away the igloo but leave the eskimo inside.
No, all this means is that the inside of Susanoo isn't solid enough to prevent other people from being inside. It being hollow is one of the worst arguments I have ever heard. It is not an igloo. It is a bunch of chakra formed for defensive purposes. Why in the world would it be hollow? People can be in a tank of water and still be able to move around, yet the inside is clearly not hollow. Same thing with Susanoo. So no, there is no reason to believe that Minato can warp Susanoo but leave the people inside.

Not hollow. Not even close to being hollow nor would it have to be hollow.
-Minato throws kunai above them
-Teleports to the lake where he opens a portal
-due to the nature of gravity the water will flow through the space time barrier to another portal that he opens up above Nagato and Kabuto.
It's simple. Not sure what you don't understand here.
What is he going to do? Dive into the lake and open a portal? Because that is the only way this nonsense strategy is going to work. Not to mention this doesn't tell me how much water is going to be sucked in cons Not like it matters since the water will wash onto Susanoo and do literally nothing at all. If you are going to use unorthodox strategies they should actually do something in the end.
Susanoo is already teleported away you fool
According to what argument? Not yours.
Susanoo has already been teleported into the lake
:lol
What is so unreasonable about this statement. Teleportation takes zero seconds. He will also know in anticipation if his teammates get hit due to seeing his clone fly backwards and know ST is in use. And I am specifically arguing Scen2 anyways.
Minato's reaction to initiate each teleportation is not zero seconds combined with Pain/Nagato's ability to shift the trajectory of his jutsu so that they go towards the ground instead of being sent flying on a straight path makes this strategy a bust.

Where is your proof? Nothing suggests that using Shinra Tensei in a single direction is associated in any way with the amount of force Nagato chooses to use. Direction and strength are seperate elements of the jutsu that have shown no relation to each other. "Common sense" is not an argument. I'd actually like to bring up a quote of yours that I find very relevant right now
Except this is literally common sense. You not being able to see that has nothing to do with me or any of my oh so famous quotes. :lol Once again I have to question if you actually read a word I stated considering I stated what I'm about to state in literally a single sentence only for you to not read it and ask for proof of basic scientific fact.
More force in a single direction=More damage in that direction than there would be if there were less force.
Where did I state that using Shinra Tensei in a single direction makes it stronger than using it omnidirectionally? Nowhere. I said using the same amount of force in a single direction yields more damage than spreading that same amount of force in 4 directions. I could go into the physics of why that is true but that should be
common sense.
What's funny about this nonsense is that this is what everybody is referring to when they talk about area of effect attacks being "weaker" than focused attacks and when they refer to a "focused CST" but now for some reason you're sitting here asking for proof like you weren't just talking about a focused CST 3 posts ago. :lol
While I don't think that statement should be completely disregarded I am very skeptical of Naruto's authority on the subject. He had never seen Nagato in battle before that point so his statement that Nagato's power is "completely different" is at best, speculation. Also, you cannot quantify the amount of difference it would make to his jutsu to reach a conclusion that it would damage someone when it would not normally. That is like saying "Jiraiya's yomi numa was able to sink a large snake summon, so Sage Mode Jiraiya with a kyubi cloak would be able to make a swamp large enough to sink Manda II."
Lmao we're not going to do this. Statements like these are in the Manga for a reason and I will never understand why people on this site think they can get away with attempting to discredit said statement. Naruto fought against Pain and then fought against Nagato. Obviously he would know the difference in power between the two. Fighting Nagato beforehand is irrelevant, so this really doesn't even make sense regardless.
The rest is also a mismatched comparison. I never quantified the amount of difference. I only said it's a tier stronger, which is almost exactly what completely different would imply. The Jiraiya example is weak considering I never said Nagato went from doing X to doing Y. I only said his jutsu are much stronger.
I read your paragraph and it's wrong. How rapidly Ay can punch Susanoo is irrelevant because Susanoo cannot heal/repair itself. Same with how rapidly SS hit Susanoo. I can throw a baseball at a glass window and crack it badly. Then I can throw another baseball at the same spot on the glass window and shatter it. The time elapsed between the two baseballs is irrelevant, it could be five seconds or five hours later and the result would be the same because the glass window did not magically get stronger in those five hours.
Bold is irrelevant. Susanoo needing to repair itself is irrelevant because it doesn't take damage at all once again. Your example is literally 100% irrelevant because the window gets cracked. Susanoo does not get damaged, once again. Lmao do you mind actually addressing the above this time around? Because you clearly didn't read it properly.
Addressed, addressed, and an uneven surface obviously does not effect them because they can run on the sides of walls or upside down due to putting chakra on their feet. Spikes get blasted through and larger spikes they go around. They can still be close on the surface of the lake if your team remains on the beach, only if your team retreats into the forest will the lake not be an option.
Shunshin is a burst of speed. There is no changing direction unless they stop, meaning they have to stop each time they encounter something they can't run straight over. So yes, it does affect them.
Only Kimimaro has shown the ability to merge with his bones, Kabuto's body does not have the right skeletal structure.
Yeah, you made this up. Kabuto has Kimimaro's Kekkei Genkai which is what made his body like that. He also has every ability Kimimaro has ever displayed.
Okay, Kabuto's technique, Den'ien'ei (den-i-en-ei, to make the kana clear), says he infused himself with the cells of each member of the Sound Five, allowing him to use Attack of the Twin Demons; by infusing himself with their cells, he gained the ability to freely use their jutsu, talents, and kekkei genkai. It says that he uses Attack of the Twin Demons to manifest their upper torsos from his own torso, which allows him move independantly while unleashing their skills, so he can fight and move strategically at the same time. This gives him access to a stunning array of abilities.

Teleporting Susanoo? Uhhh that has been done in canon
You must be registered for see links
:lol Like I said, nothing but an assumption based on nothing. Susanoo was teleported and look what happened to it's contents. They followed suit. So where has this been done in canon again?
