While Tsukihi is shocked, Hiruko does not stop and starts printing hand seals.
Finally completing the hand seal, Hiruko shouted, "Chimera Technique!"
With a crazy shout from Hiruko, a indigo-colored semi-solid leech substance gushed out from the pentagram-shaped surface and rushed to swallow the five crucified half-dead ninjas.
This sticky substance, like an extension of Hiruko's body, spreads throughout the five-pointed star formation, and seems to act on Hiruko's orders to swallow five ninja crucified on a torture cross.
“”””” Ahhhhhhhh.....!!!””””””
By the time the adhesive began to swallow the five ninja with different Kekkei Genkai, these half-dead and unconscious ninjas let out a terrible scream of agony that seemed to shake their souls.
They did an instinctive struggle but all they got was despair.
Their bodies also changed color to indigo and immediately began to melt bit by bit, their pupils disappeared, and only white sclera was visible in their eyes, foam coming out of their mouths, she said, and had lifeless expressions on their faces.
Hiruko opened her hands and laughed loudly, “Cry as you please, feel the despair in your heart, then be swallowed by me to become a truly great being.
Looking at Hiruko, whose current condition was no different from a monster, and the five shinobi who melted and slowly fused with Hiruko, Uchiha Tsukihi put a serious expression on her face and muttered, "This approach is too... too forced!"
"
"
After the initial shock, there were only thoughts left in Tsukihi's mind.
According to him, the fusion method Hiruko used was very rude, immoral, and forced.
'Was he not afraid of the hidden dangers he would have to face in the future using such a crude method? No... rather than worrying about the future all he has to think about is whether he will be able to survive the perfect blend, future problems come after him.’ – Thought Tsukihi with a doubtful expression.
Tsukihi believed that Hiruko was not an idiot, at least she did not look like that, after all, she had managed to develop the Chimera Technique, but the approach she was currently using was no different from suicide, the really stupid ones. Because of that in addition to shock, there was also some hope to see if Hiruko had some follow-up plans to ensure her success.
With the bodies of the five shinobi completely melted, their chakra continued to be absorbed by that sticky substance.
Tsukihi thought, 'How will he face that fifth shinobi soul?'
The same thought was echoed in the minds of Tendo Pain, Oto Yumie aka Orochimaru, Sasori, and Kakuzu.
Ningendo Pain of the Pein Rikudo gives users the ability to forcibly read the target's mind by extracting their soul. Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Pain is one of the few souls known to people.
Even Orochimaru who had developed Fushi Tensei, and was probably working on Edo Tensei also had a very high level of soul comprehension.
Then there was Sasori, who had recently transformed himself into a puppet, which was impossible without having knowledge of the soul, so he had also touched the realm of the soul.
And lastly, there is Kakuzu, because of his secret technique of 'Earth Grudge Fear', every time he steals the hearts of others, he must have some way to reduce their psyche's influence over the chakra realm, thus, Kakuzu must also have some level of understanding of the Soul.
Shinno also had to have an understanding of the soul because he was working on Reibi.
As for Konan, and Shinichi, their understanding of Souls was worse compared to the others, but both of them were not stupid.
And Konan as a sensor class, and Shinichi with the help of his Mangekyou Sharingan can realize that the Chakra absorbed by the sticky substance is unusual.
Therefore everyone frowned and thought the same thing, 'Will he directly absorb that chakra?'
As speculations rose in the minds of everyone present, Hiruko immediately controlled the adhesive and sucked up the five chakra groups.
'He really took a reckless approach!' – Tsukihi was surprised, he always thought that every generation of Raikage was the second most reckless shinobi in this world but it seems that even Hiruko is not much different.
Unlike Tsukihi's surprised expression, the others did not show much emotion, Oto Yumie even grinned, saying,
No one here seems to understand the true danger of fully absorbing the souls of others, even if they can see the chakra essence that Hiruko absorbed.
In his view, though, Hiruko might succeed even with a reckless approach, and there was even hope for her to become extremely strong.
But she also gave birth to a hidden danger that would appear sooner or later.
He did not possess the Rinnegan, so it was impossible for him to absorb souls in the true sense, therefore he would definitely suffer.
Orochimaru is the best example, the soul absorbed by Orochimaru using Fushi Tensei does not disappear, instead, they sleep like a cocoon in the depths of Orochimaru's soul, he said, so not only is there a hidden danger from the souls of others who take over but even its shape and the mark of its own soul will change, that is what happened with Orochimaru, making him extremely vulnerable to Genjutsu.
There is no guarantee that the same will happen with Hiruko for having the Sharingan, but she will not be out of total danger.
And as Tsukihi expected, the negative effects of absorbing five souls at once soon became apparent.
“Ahhhh.....!”.
His crazy laughter stopped, and he clutched his head with both hands, hissing and suffering from severe pain, seeing from his distorted expression there seemed to be something terrifying raging in his mind.
At the same time, Hiruko's body also began to disintegrate, the pieces of her hands and feet separated, distorted. Tissue began to fall from his body.
But the falling body parts were all captured by the adhesive and put back in bit by bit, repairing his body, stopping him from dying.
"
"
Now the success or failure of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual becomes a battle of destruction and refinement.
Hiruko was clearly unable to endure the physical pain and pain that came from within her soul, therefore her current appearance was no longer the same, and turned into a lump of flesh, bones, organs, vessels, etc, and liquid, but because of the existence of the sticky leech, no matter how much its body collapsed or suffered, it was constantly reassembled.
But the pain was also unbearable, and definitely not something that people could bear.
Except for Konan who came back showing her cold expression, and Shinichi who looked disgusted, everyone's faces looked clearly shocked, even Tendo Pain's indifferent expression had a slight change.
At this moment, the flashing green aurora curtain in the sky started to dim.
As the curtains of the aurora began to dim, the rays of light and particles of light that fell from the sky also started to dim.
It is clear that the aurora will disappear, and therefore everyone is clear, if the ritual is not completed before the aurora disappears, then this Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual will fail.
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 before the aurora disappeared, Hiruko's shout suddenly stopped.
The flesh clumps contract into a round core.
Soon after, the sticky-leech substance scattered on the floor began to merge into the Round core which was Hiruko's body.
As the sticky substance merged with Hiruko's body, the intense chakra reaction also gradually stabilized.
Then with an explosive sound, the core expanded and turned into Hiruko.
'He can survive?' – Tsukihi was stunned, then thought, 'No, Hiruko is just an ordinary shinobi without any special features, how could she have survived the destruction of her body? He must have used some other technique, other than the Chimera Technique. A technique that can refine his body, and increase his strength to be able to withstand the pressure of the Chimera Technique!’
After finishing the ritual, Hiruko stood on the ritual platform, she had no clothes on her current body so she stood naked, but she was not bothered in the least, and his eyes were fixed on Uchiha Tsukihi and Oto Yumie…
