Chibaku Tensei

Chibaku Tensei is a special technique developed by the Sage of the Six Paths whereby he 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. This technique was used by the Sage of the Six Paths to trap the Ten-Tailed Beast's body and creating the moon.

This was used by the Deva Path during the Invasion of Pain arc to try to subdue Naruto in his Six-Tail Form. The surrounding earth, including forests and mountains, was collected into a single point, piling on top of one another until it created a large sphere. A large crater was left where the earth had 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 slipped into his eight-tailed transformation. Despite this, Nagato implied that he could create an even larger sphere to compensate for Naruto's transformation.
