Why didn't nagato just use "Chibuka Tensei" over the leaf village.

[EliteKage]

Wasn't that his goal? And you know an easy task?

 

[EPICMenma]

Nah, His goal is Peace...

 

[FleeOnSight]

His goal was to capture naruto. Once he found out naruto wasn't there he decided to trash the village. Shinra tensei did the job.

 

[-immortal-]

because he Used Shinra Tensei
#simply as that

 

[Lyke]

Chibaku* Tensei

 

[SeriousDogg]

He wanted Konoha to know ITAMI

slow rape, but he failed...

and it's Chibaku not Chibuka -___-

 

[Orochimaruofthesound]

Chibaku tensei cost too much chackra

 

[obito777]

It would have been an automatic win on pain's part

 

[SenseiMartian]

I think he probably just used Shinra Tensei because he had used it before, and often. Versus using Chibaku Tensei, which could possibly be countered (not likely, though who knows) and a technique that he is not as familiar with the use of it.

 

[~Naruto&Itachi~]

Or or chibaku tensei was for nine tails....it was his LAST resort to capture naruto if all else failed he would use that to make a moon just like SO6p

 

[TrollingSage]

Probably because Deva Path had to be closer to Nagato(away from the village) to perform the jutsu.

 

[Cursed Prince]

Shinra Tensei was much cooler

 

[bsims08]

His chakra would drastically drain plus he wanted them to be punishe and feel pain

 

[Jetapo]

Chibaku is more strenuous.
