Shinra Tensei


 * Name:
 * 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 was 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 arm toward another person, or around the user in the form of a perfect wave that repels all incoming attacks. The only downside to this technique is there is a short period of time where it is unusable after being used, but only roughly five seconds.

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 its consequences; in exchange for its awesome power, it evidently shortens Nagato's lifespan by a significant amount each time he uses it and leave him too weak to perform its basic level for several minutes.
