Message toSend = new MessageBuilder().append("aa").build();
channel.sendMessage(toSend).queue();
message.delete().complete();
toSend.delete().queueAfter(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
The last line returns a NPE.

Message is being sent. If I try to delete it with TextChannel#deleteMessageById it returns a 400 saying "snowflake should be less than or equal to "

You can't delete messages from message builder, these messages have no ID assigned and thus cannot be modified or deleted.
You need to use the response message from sendMessage:
channel.sendMessage(toSend).queue( message -> message.delete().queueAfter(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS) );
