Judging by his reaction, my guess was correct.
This Uchiha Nobuhiko had already realized why he, as a Reincarnator, and I, as a transmigrator, existed.
Just as I thought...
Just as I thought. After reincarnating through so many lives, even the dullest person should have noticed something.
Fine!
That was fine too. It saved me from wasting a chance to meet the Sage of Six Paths for a deal.
Now, there was no need to make things so troublesome! All the predetermined conditions had been laid out before me.
The sensation of the Rinnegan in the wooden tube grown from his palm rolling down entered his senses without reservation. As the wind whistled past his ears, Chiba, with the last trace of haze fading from his mind, lightly clenched his teeth against the intense pain that felt as though his entire body were falling apart. A thought flashed through his mind.
Still, Uchiha Nobuhiko really had endured well. After awakening such powerful strength, he had not used it immediately. Instead, he had hidden it away as a decisive blow for a critical moment.
Honestly, if not for that power just now, I would probably have been sent to the moon already.
I had fallen into a misconception too.
Although Planetary Devastation was tremendously imposing, physically creating the feeling that it would crush someone to death, and represented the limit of the Rinnegan's control over gravity, it was actually a Sealing Jutsu. The sealed target's physical form would be preserved, but their Chakra would be completely locked away, and even their ability to move would be utterly restrained. It was not fatal, however.
I had thought I would be crushed to death.
But I had not expected an outcome even more terrifying than being crushed to death.
To be imprisoned forever
