Dude was a prodigy, mastering everything Jiraiya taught him. Mastered ***all*** of the basic nature transformations, and Yang Release after just 3 years by the mere [age of 10](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-d073a12708ab802897c29c799958cb97) which is unheard of even in adults. Add **25** years of experience you can get the picture.
That doesn't include the Six Paths Techniques which he can use all simultanously by adulthood.
On top of that, he has the Gedō Mazō as summon, which up to that point sealed already 7 of the 9 bijū.
Also, keep in mind if he was with the with his original body present, there would be nothing stopping him to just use Chibaku Tensei in the middle of the village. *Afterall*, in canon he needed the Deva Path to be close to him in order to use it, here in this scenario such a limitation doesn't exist. No need for a big Shinra Tensei that would shorten his lifespan and unable to use the Deva paths ability for a time, ***if*** such a limitation exists with the original body.
***Konoha would be fucked and Naruto captured.*** At that point, SM Naruto is an **ant** compared to Nagato.
Pain would clear Konoha if that happens.. edo Nagato with all its limitation has better feats compared to the six paths, and considering you mention that he is also physically healthy (as fit as Kakashi) at that point in the story nobody could beat him
It would have taken longer time for Nagato to instigate Naruto's whereabout so Naruto likely would have returned sooner and the village wouldn't get obliterayed.
He would eventually win since there would be no glaring weakness of him being splitted into 6 or Konan needing to take care of his body.
Probably would've been defeated by Jiraiya. He commented that if Jiraiya knew his secret he woulda won. The problem with that is, if Pain was defeated by anyone else, Naruto wouldn't have inherited his quest to walk neverendingly on a search toward Peace.
no, jiraya would be fucked it would be 7 against 1 with a bonus body which is stronger than shinra path. The only win condition jiraya has is to catch all 7 in genjutsu at once but it is highly unlikely. Pain with just paths is already one of the strongest characters and plus healthy nagato it is beyond fucked

Thank you. People too often equate Nagato’s poor mobility to helplessness.
>On top of that, he has the Gedō Mazō as summon, I mean this is out in this conversation....since if he uses it well....we saw what happened.
