Chapter Five

The earth trembled.

The ground broke apart.

It was as if a catastrophic disaster was about to occur.

Huge chunks of earth and stone began to slowly flow up towards the sky. Rocks, soil and everything that was a form of matter were being pulled up towards a powerful magnetic force.

This strong magnetic force came from the small black sphere in the sky.

Chibaku Tensei. It was a sealing technique of the Rinnegan. The user would create a small black sphere that would act as a gravity core. Then, the black sphere would pull everything in its surroundings towards it to form a heavenly body. The size of the heavenly body would depend on the power and the control of the user.

Needless to say, Chibaku Tensei was truly a destructive Jutsu. The ground below had already been ruined beyond recognition. No wonder it was also known as ‘Planetary Devastation’.

This was Neville’s first time using it so there was no guarantee that it would work perfectly but Neville was confident that he could seal the black lion.

Under Neville’s clumsy control, the natural satellite began to grow larger and larger. Soon, it grew to the size of a small hill.

Neville was satisfied at the current rate it was growing. Then, he looked at the black lion.

The black lion was frantically struggling to escape while being pulled up towards the sky. It jumped from one big piece of rock to another trying to descend towards the ground below but it was to no avail. There were just too many obstacles.

“Let’s finish this!” Neville clasped his hands together and shouted loudly. The energy (chakra obviously) inside his body began to deplete rapidly.

Suddenly, the gravitational pulling force became incredibly stronger. Before it even knew what was happening, the black lion was sucked in towards the heavenly body.

The black lion slammed against the surface of the satellite. It realized that it could not move. The gravitational force was too strong.

Then, several big rocks came crashing towards it at an astonishing speed. The onslaught of rocks completely buried the black lion inside the heavenly body. Even then it did not stop.

It was only when the Chibaku Tensei became as big as a mountain that Neville stopped the technique. The Chibaku Tensei he had formed was not as big as the one Nagato had made nor was it a spherical shape but rather a cylindrical one.

Neville fell on his knees, breathing hard. Blood flowed out of his mouth and fell down on the body of the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird in small droplets. He felt completely exhausted.

Such exhaustion was not unexpected. After all, he had just used a technique that could literally create a small planet. The after-effects of using a technique of this scale would naturally be quite taxing.

Lying on the back of the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird, he took a long rest, allowing the energy (chakra obviously) in his body to slowly recover.

Two hours later.

Neville felt a lot better now. Most of the energy (chakra) in his body had already recovered.

He looked up at the sky. There was a gigantic heavenly body floating up there. Even Neville still couldn’t believe he had created it.

Now what should I do?

Neville could faintly sense that the black lion was still alive inside the heavenly body. However, its aura was quite weak. Its power had diminished greatly.

There were two ways to kill it. The first one was to launch a powerful jutsu to completely destroy the heavenly body along with the black lion. But forget about having such a type of jutsu, he didn’t even know an E-Rank jutsu.

The second method was to drop the heavenly body on the ground like a meteor. It would certainly kill the black lion. But the problem was that the resulting impact would also kill all the other creatures nearby. And there was also the possibility that some people living nearby or wandering by here.

Neville had just arrived in this world not too long ago. He did not want to be responsible for the mass genocide of living creatures or the death of any single innocent person.

Then, suddenly he realised something.

When he first attacked the black lion he had believed that he was in a dream. Only after his arm got slashed did he realise that was no true.

Before all of this, he and the black lion did not have any sort of problem. Neville had attacked first purely to indulge in his fantasies and the black lion, thinking that the human wanted to fight him, had naturally fought back.

Neville now knew that he was in the wrong. The black lion had done nothing but defend itself. Why should it die? It did not deserve this!

Guilt filled Neville’s heart and immediately he made a decision.

He chose to free the black lion!

Instantly he stopped the gravitational power of the black sphere. Without its gravity core, the heavenly body would no longer be able to hold itself together.

The heavenly body shook and crumbled apart in seconds with a rumbling sound. It broke apart into several pieces that landed on the ground, collectively creating a thunderous noise.

In the midst of the falling rocks and stones, the black lion also fell powerlessly downwards. It seemed as if it was devoid of strength.

“Shit!” Neville cursed. “Go!” With his command, the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird swiftly flew towards the black lion. Neville did not know if the giant bird would be able to support the huge lion’s weight but he had to do something. He could not let the black lion fall to its death.

But suddenly a violet energy shield appeared out of nowhere on the black lion’s body.

Neville knew what it was and immediately stopped in his tracks. There was no need for him to intervene anymore, he realised.

“Looks like it still has some strength left.”

With a crashing sound, the black lion fell hard on the ground, creating a large smoke of dust. When the dust cleared, it was standing there breathing heavily.

Although it was quite weak and tired at the moment, Neville could not see any serious injuries on its body. He sighed in relief.

Then the black lion looked at Neville. Neville also looked at the black lion. The two gazed at each other for a long time.

Finally, the black lion gave a powerful roar towards Neville. Then it turned around and dashed away. Its figure soon disappeared into the distance.

Neville smiled. “Perhaps we’ll meet again one day.”

After a while, Neville made the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird flow down on the surface. Then he got off its back and sent it back to wherever it came from.

“Phew. That was quite a thrill.” Neville said to himself.

He had been transported to another world and had the Rinnegan.

Now what?

As he was pondering over this, Neville suddenly felt dizzy. His body swayed back and forth. It seemed as if he was about to lose his consciousness.

“What the...”

That was when he caught a glimpse of his right arm.

It was still bleeding from the attack by the black lion. Neville had completely forgotten about it.

He had been losing blood all this time.

“Oh, fuck....”

Neville fainted.
