After sensing what had happened, Uchiha Akira immediately abandoned the idea of flying over in his spirit form and killing them outright.
The Preta Path of the Rinnegan was very likely to be a hard counter to spirit forms. Nagato was in perfect condition now, so rushing over might end very badly.
Turning his mind into a spirit did not make him invincible, nor could it ignore every obstacle the way the Flying Thunder God Technique could.
A spirit could be blocked by a barrier or trapped inside one.
Besides, the Rinnegan also had abilities that targeted the soul.
Surprising Nagato when he was unable to move freely would have a high chance of success.
But ambushing Nagato when he was quick on his feet, healthy, implanted with Hashirama Senju Cells, and in possession of powerful abilities? That was out of the question.
"Maybe I could try ambushing Uchiha Obito." As the thought crossed Uchiha Akira's mind, he felt a little tempted.
Uchiha Obito didn't have the Rinnegan, so a surprise attack might succeed.
"Forget it. Better to play it safe. His other Mangekyō Sharingan is in my hands anyway. With that eye, Uchiha Obito will fall into my grasp sooner or later." In the end, Uchiha Akira backed down.
He still wasn't completely certain he could kill Uchiha Obito. He could only use this trick once.
If it failed the first time, it would be difficult to try again.
So Uchiha Akira felt he had to use it at the right moment, when one strike would ensure his opponent had no chance to turn things around.
Now clearly wasn't the time.

He
