Capítulo 273: Chapter – 269 Surviving the Ritual
While Tsukihi was surprised, Hiruko did not stop and began to print the hand seals.
Finally completing the hand seals, Hiruko shouted, "Chimera Technique!"
With the crazy shout of Hiruko, the indigo-colored semi-solid gluey-leechy substance gushed out of the pentagram-shaped surface and rushed to swallow the five half-dead crucified ninjas.
This gluey substance was like an extension of Hiruko's body, it spread all over the five-pointed star formation, and seem to be acting as per Hiruko's orders swallowing the five ninjas that were crucified on the torture cross.
""""" Ahhhhhhhh...!!!""""""
At the moment when the gluey substance started swallowing the five ninjas with different Kekkei Genkai, these ninjas who were half-dead and unconscious let out a terrible cry of pain that seemed to shake their soul.
They put up an instinctive struggle but all they got was despair.
Their bodies also turned indigo-colored and soon began to melt bit-by-bit, their pupils disappeared, and only white sclera could be seen in their eyes, foam overflowing from their mouths, a lifeless look on their faces.
Hiruko opened both his arms and laughed frantically, "Cry all you want, feel the despair in your heart, then be swallowed by me to become a truly great being… a perfect shinobi!"
Looking at Hiruko, whose current state was nothing different from a monster, and the five shinobi melting and slowly integrating into Hiruko, Uchiha Tsukihi had a serious look on her face and muttered, "This approach is too… too forced!"
After the initial shock, there was only thought left in Tsukihi's mind.
In her view, the fusion method that Hiruko is using is really rough, unscrupulous, and forced.
'Is he not afraid of the hidden dangers he will have to face in the future by using such a forceful method? No… rather than worrying about the future what he should think about is whether he will be able to survive the complete fusion, the matter of the future comes afterward…' – Thought Tsukihi with a doubtful expression.
Tsukihi believes that Hiruko is not an idiot, at least he doesn't look like one, after all, he managed to develop the Chimera Technique, but the approach he is using right now is no different from suicide, which is utterly stupid. As such aside from shock, there are also some expectations to see if Hiruko has some follow-up plans to ensure his success.
With the bodies of the five shinobi completely melted, their chakra was steadily absorbed by the gluey substance.
Tsukihi thought, 'How will he deal with the souls of those five shinobi?'
The same thought lingered in the minds of Tendo Pain, Oto Yumie a.k.a. Orochimaru, Sasori, and Kakuzu.
Ningendo Pain of the Pein Rikudo grants the user the ability to forcefully read the minds of any target by extracting their soul. As such, it wouldn't be wrong to say that Pain is one of the few people familiar souls.
Even Orochimaru who has developed Fushi Tensei, and is probably working on Edo Tensei also has a very high degree of understanding of souls.
Then there is Sasori, who has recently turned himself into a puppet, which is impossible to do without having some knowledge of souls, so he has also touched the realm of souls.
And finally, there is Kakuzu, because of his secret technique 'Earth Grudge Fear,' every time he steals other's hearts, he has to have some way to reduce the influence of their souls on the chakra nature, as such, Kakuzu must also have some degree of understanding of Soul.
Shinno must also have some understanding of the souls because he is working on making Reibi.
As for Konan, and Shinichi, their understanding of Souls is worse compared to the rest, but neither of the two was ignorant.
And Konan being a sensor class, and Shinichi with the help of his Mangekyou Sharingan was able to notice that the Chakra absorbed by the gluey substance was not ordinary.
As such everyone had a frown and thought the same thing, 'Is he directly going to absorb that chakra?'
Just as various speculations appeared in the minds of everyone present, Hiruko directly controlled the gluey substance and sucked in the five chakra groups.
'He is really taking the reckless approach!' – Tsukihi was shocked, she always thought that each generation of Raikage is the second most reckless shinobi in this world but it appears that even Hiruko is not far behind.
Unlike Tsukihi's shocked expression, the others did not show many emotions, Oto Yumie even smirked,
Nobody here seemed to understand the true danger of completely absorbing other people's souls, even if they can see the essence of chakra that Hiruko was absorbing.
Tsukihi felt a bit of pity for Hiruko.
In her view, although, Hiruko might succeed even with his reckless approach, and there is even hope for him to become incredibly strong.
But he is also giving birth to hidden dangers that will show up sooner or later.
He does not have the Rinnegan, so it is impossible for him to absorb souls in a true sense, as such he will definitely suffer.
Orochimaru is the best example, the souls absorbed by Orochimaru using Fushi Tensei did not disappear, instead, they were sleeping like a cocoon in the depths of Orochimaru's soul, so not only is there a hidden danger of other's soul taking over but even the shape and signature of one's own soul will change, which is exactly what happened with Orochimaru, making him especially vulnerable to Genjutsu.
It is not guaranteed that the same will happen with Hiruko curtesy to the Sharingan but he won't be out of complete danger.
And as Tsukihi expected, the negative effects of absorbing five souls at once immediately became apparent.
"Ahhhhh...!"
His maniacal laughter ceased, and he clutched his head with both of his hands, hissing and suffering from severe pain, looking from his distorted expression it seemed as if something scary was raging in his mind.
At the same time, Hiruko's body also started to fall apart, pieces of his hands and legs separated, distorted. Tissues started to fall off of his body.
But the body parts that fell off were all caught by the gluey substance and put back little-by-little, repairing his body, stopping him from dying.
Now the success or failure of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual became a battle of collapse and repair.
Hiruko was obviously not able to withstand both physical pain and pain coming from deep in his soul, as such his current appearance was no longer the same, and was changed into a blob of flesh, bones, organs, vessels, and fluids, but because of the existence of the gluey leech, no matter how much his body collapsed or suffered it was constantly reassembled back.
But the pain is also insufferable, and definitely not something that people can bear.
Except for Konan who had her cold expression back, and Shinichi who had a look of disgust, everyone else's faces had a clear look of shock, even Tendo Pain's indifferent expression had slight waves.
At this time, the flashing curtain of green aurora in the sky started to dim.
As the curtain of aurora started to dim, the light rays and light particles falling from the sky also started to dim.
It was clear that the aurora was about to disappear, and as such everyone was clear, if the ritual is not completed before the disappearance of the aurora, then this Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual will be a failure.
And seeing that the aurora was about to disappear, everyone could only think that Hiruko would fail, but then something shocking happened.
At the moment just before the disappearance of the aurora, Hiruko's shouts abruptly stopped.
The blob of flesh contracted into a spherical core.
Immediately afterward, the gluey-leechy substance spread on the floor began to merge into the Spherical core which was Hiruko's body.
As the gluey substance merged with Hiruko's body, the violent chakra reaction also gradually stabilized.
Then with an exploding sound, the core expanded and turned into Hiruko.
'He was able to survive?' – Tsukihi was stunned, then thought, 'No, Hiruko is just an ordinary shinobi with no special traits, how could he survive the collapse and disintegration of his body? He must have used some other technique, besides the Chimera Technique. A technique which can repair his body, and increase its strength to be able to bear the pressure of Chimera Technique!'
After completing the ritual, Hiruko stood up on the ritual platform, he did not have any clothes on his body at this moment so he stood naked, but he was not bothered in the slightest, and his eyes fell on Uchiha Tsukihi and Oto Yumie…
