Chibaku Tensei

Chibaku Tensei is a special technique developed by the Sage of the Six Paths, who used it to create the moon and trap the Ten-Tailed Beast's body inside of it.

The user creates a dark black sphere of gravity that, when thrown into the sky, attracts objects from all directions and pulls them into the sphere, compressing them together. The surrounding earth, including forests and mountains, are collected into a single point, piling on top of one another until it creates a large sphere. A large crater is left where the earth has been collected from. The Deva Path had to be brought within close range of Nagato before it could use the technique, and performing it put a great deal of strain on Nagato. This strain eventually caused the technique to dispel, by which the large sphere, that was created by it, fell apart again.

Nagato noted that his technique was inferior to that of the Sage of the Six Paths but despite its admitted inferiority, it was still strong enough to both hold out against Naruto's Six-Tailed Fox Menacing Ball and incapacitate Naruto, trapping him in his six-tailed transformation. However, it failed to contain Naruto after he transformed into his eight-tailed transformation. Despite this, Nagato implied that he'll have to make an even larger sphere to compensate for Naruto's transformation.

Chibaku Tensei appears in ''Naruto Shippūden: Ninjutsu Zenkai! Chakrush!!'' as one of Pain's skills, renamed. In this variant, Pain generates a moderately sized sphere of debris overhead, then thrusts his arms downward, sending it crashing into the ground like a meteor. An enhanced, "Full Throttle" version of the technique called can also be performed.
