If Tobi was more intelligent (or maybe if Kishi wasn't gonna reveal him in the next few chapters I guess xd ) he would've just used his rinnegan and absorbed all of Naruto's attacks.

Or maybe, he can't use the rinnegan. He hasn't shown any of the abilities of the rinnegan besides the linked vision. Even the Jinchuriki didn't utilize the rinnegan. Makes you wonder if you need both eyes for all the abilities similarly in the way that you need two mangekyou to utilize Susanoo.

Plot, Kakashi and Naruto have the upperhand. I guess that will end now.

Tobi could just Shinra tensei that gay clone

Because he hasn't passed the test for it yet so doesn't want to be arrested for Rinneganning without a license.

He has used Rinnegan from the start.


All of hes paths where controlled by Rinnegan.

Hes chain technique is Rinnegan Jutsu.

It was mentioned earlier that he couldn't use all his technique and still maintain control of the tailed beast.

I think at that point Naruto was too fast for him to react and use shinra tensei or preta path, he wouldn't have the skill of Nagato to be able to use it instantaneously and we all know how fast Naruto is.

when i saw the panel when tobi was like "shit" and it focused on his rinnegan i was really hoping he was going to suck up the rasengan or something using preta path.

I agree with aze , the fact that tobi takes the rasengan in his face , show us that he can't use rinnengan when he is in his dimension.
Absorbing ninjutsu is a easy jutsu for rinnenganers.

He could dodge the rasengan at end, just sayin'

too much chakra for the most advanced techniques, probably, since he did use his rinnegan (controlling the previous jinchuuriki, linked vision). but i guess he can do the basic stuff and not the more advanced. so, he prefers kamui which probably costs him less and does 'more'.

He doesn't have the Chakra to control the MS, Rinnegan, And The Paths of Pain. It makes perfect sense

no way absorbing chakra would be harder than making kamui .
Absorbing one little rasengan is not comparable to controling 6 bijuus .absorbing is really easy for him.
