All-Out Chibaku Tensei!

"Chibaku Tensei!!!!"

Sure enough, Nagato had not chosen Super Almighty Push, but Chibaku Tensei. Super Almighty Push did indeed have an enormous range, but it was utterly useless against Hiko. Chibaku Tensei was far more direct, even if Nagato's Chibaku Tensei was a weakened version.

It felt somewhat like choosing between an area-of-effect skill and a single-target skill in an online game.

Fighting Hiko alone, using a technique like Super Almighty Push was indeed not worth the cost. It would only waste an enormous amount of Chakra.
