My issue with this is that there's nothing but absolute conjecture making people believe Pain created the clouds and the rain. The only thing we see him do in the manga with a direct relation to what the databook states is Pain stopping the rain from falling. There are only 3 scans in the manga which shows rain clouds / rain forming here, here, and here, while Pain was a motionless prop in the background, only moving his head and body to face Obito. Konan's trailing question at the end is vague and has no structure, so using that as an argument is simply grasping at straws and a strong "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy.
There's no such conjecture. It's made clear that he creates the rainfall, both in the databook and in the manga. The databook then confirms the clouds are created with his own chakra.
You're bringing up irrelevant hyperboles such as lightspeed Light Fang to discredit clear cut statements.

Additionally, we all know storms were naturally occurring phenomena since Nagato was a child and Hanzo was still leader of Amegakure.
I've already addressed this. Yes, Amegakure is the Hidden Rain Village, so obviously storms occur often there. That doesn't mean anything when we see an instance of Nagato creating a non-natural rainstorm by
himself.
>
We never see him create a storm with a jutsu
Except, you know, when he used the Rain Tiger at Will.

Yes, we can agree its casual. However, Pain can be just as casual with almighty push. In fact, he uses it many times with incoming danger without even moving, to lesser threats. However, it is incredibly fallacious to assume that because almighty push is a powerful jutsu, that's the reason there's a minimum 5 second interval.
Yes, it's the reason. After Nagato used the Super Shinra Tensei to obliterate Konoha, he was unable to use the Rinnegan's abilities for several minutes as opposed to just 5 seconds. We know this was because he needed all the chakra he could get. It's implied that Shinra Tensei's power is the reason behind the cooldown.
>
Shinra Tensei being the "pinnacle" of rinnegan jutsu is objectively untrue and irrelevant. Translation of basho tenin and ST.
Yes it is.
Only those with all chakra natures can use Shinra Tensei and it's the perfect Rinnegan jutsu.
>
Except there are multiple scans of Pain being extremely casual multiple times with ST as well (more below). Untrue FRA.
Rain Tiger at Will scales below Shinra Tensei FRA.

With regards to the lore of the series, Kaguya is the source of all chakra on Earth, granted she wasn't in posession of all of it at the time of her ETSB. Regardless, how does this disprove that giant quantities of chakra (especially for use in a jutsu) doesn't automatically scale to physical abilities?
For the third time, I never said they did. That's you misinterpreting my argument.

The entirety of Gaara's key is based on him manipulating sand with chakra. Deidara and his clay bomb arsenal, Edo Madara with Tengai Shinsei and Susanoo, Konan and her 600 billion paper bombs (with exhaustion given it was intended to be a final attack), Hashirama + Madara with wood release, Jinton users, ST/CT/BT, etc. These are all people who can easily perform massive in scale, high tier jutsu vastly above their physical abilities.
Striking Strength is irrelevant to the original debate, already said it three times.
You proceed to list a bunch of feats of fodders surviving ST, which not only implies a belief on Nagato treating SM Naruto the same way he would random fodders, but also ignores the fact that my OP states in bold words that only
top-tiers would scale.
>
The context of that Pain slamming Naruto scan is entirely out of context.
Ignores the fact that most of Naruto's momentum would be nullified by him being stopped by Pain's palm before being slammed down.
>
Nagato being punted by SM Naruto
This belief that Nagato can be easily overwhelmed by Naruto is bogus at best.
>
7-A entire Narutoverse confirmed.
Way to take it out of context. Way to ignore the difference between a Kage and a fodder.

Lets pause the conversation on calcs, much of them are being revised. You're churning out 5 calcs every 2 seconds for the purpose of this thread, and I'm not discussing any of them here, its not the place.
Calcs that only support this even more...
