Shinra Tensei


 * Name: Viz "Almighty Push"
 * Type: Unknown rank, Supplementary
 * Users: Pain (Deva path)
 * Debut (Manga) Chapter 420

Shinra Tensei is the ability to manipulate gravity to repulse matter away from the user, with such force that it can easily shatter stone. By using this technique as a defensive measure, most, if not all, attacks directed to the user will be deflected, no matter the size or mass. The greatest example of its defensive might came from its ability to effortlessly deflect the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, a jutsu with power considered beyond S-rank. The ability can be used on individuals by directing the user's arm toward another person, or around the user in form of a perfect wave that repels all incoming attacks. The only downside to this technique is that there is a short period when it is unusable after being used, though only for roughly five seconds. The repulsion force of Shinra Tensei, because of its effect through air, can be resisted with enough force and contact to the ground. By focusing chakra at the feet, it is possible to partially resist minor repulsion and due to its raw power, Naruto's six-tailed form was able to resist and repel the effects of Shinra Tensei.

Also, Shinra Tensei can be used on a large scale for massive destruction. Pain's five bodies collapse (presumably to channel all available chakra through Deva path), and a massive gravity well is created above the target, crushing everything beneath in a titanic explosion. However, this technique isn't without consequences; in exchange for its incredible power, it evidently shortens Nagato's lifespan by a significant amount each time he uses it and leaves him too weak to perform its basic level for several minutes. Although this technique is risky, Deva path has been seen to use this jutsu on many occasions. Albeit powerful, Naruto has been seen to withstand the Shinra Tensei along with 3 of his clones giving the impression that it can be withstood, by using chakra to attach oneself to the ground.
