Naraku's Cursed Seal Research
In no time, the Cursed Seal was fully injected into the seventeen death row inmates.
Naraku wiped the sweat from his forehead. Splitting so many soul fragments had Naraku somewhat exhausted.
"How did Orochimaru manage to separate soul fragments like this? His soul energy is weaker than mine, so how did he conduct the experiment? Could it be that ordinary Cursed Seal only enhance power and control without mixing in soul fragments? Or perhaps he only splits the soul into backups within the Heaven and Earth Cursed Seal?"
A question flashed through Naraku's mind: Naraku's implantation method was somewhat different from Orochimaru's, but the effect was the same.
Although the soul fragments are split by the palm, they are implanted into the recipient's body Cursed Seal Level 1, and the steps are basically simultaneous.
The Cursed Seal liquid in the syringe is a mixture of Naraku's Chakra and Jugo's bodily fluid enzymes, and it cannot be preserved for long. Over time, the Chakra belonging to Naraku will evaporate.
Before Naraku made some preparations. He went to the death row prison to conduct experiments, and his soul was implanted with both Cursed Seal and Chakra.
The glass containing seventeen fragments of his soul made Naraku visibly tired.
"Chief, please rest for a while and have a cup of tea!"
Uchiha Riki was standing nearby, offered a timely suggestion.
Naraku nodded, picked up his teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Li Jun, observe these seventeen people carefully. Results should be available within twelve hours at the latest. If the procedure fails, the outcome is death."
Record all possible scenarios for me, whether it's dying from an explosion, going completely insane, or the surgery being successful. Record all reactions on paper.
Naraku instructed Uchiha Riki, who was standing to the side.
"Yes, sir!"
Uchiha Riki nodded emphatically in acceptance.
"Yes, I'll come again at this time tonight. Don't be harsh on them; just consider it their contribution to Konoha."
"Clear!"
After Naraku looked around the prison bars and, seeing that nothing unusual had happened, nodded and left.
Night
Konoha Prison
"Chieftain!"
Uchiha Riki greeted Naraku respectfully. It was 10 PM, Uchiha Riki was still working overtime, waiting for Naraku.
"Hmm, how are those people doing?"
Twelve hours later, Naraku arrived at the prison on time.
"Chief! Five of them mutated and exploded, dying! The other four, after waking up, went berserk, banging on railings and walls, injuring themselves and falling unconscious."
He was still acting crazy when he woke up, and now he's unconscious again. Of the other eight people who underwent surgery, three have just woken up and are showing no abnormalities.
The five people woke up one after another. One of them had fallen asleep back in the prison and woke up two hours later without any abnormalities.
The time it took for the other four people to go from unconsciousness to awakening was 3 hours and 15 minutes, 3 hours and 28 minutes, 4 hours and 17 minutes, and 5 hours and 38 minutes, respectively.
These eight people showed no abnormalities; they were the same as before, with good appetites...
Uchiha Riki faithfully carried out the mission assigned by Naraku and assessed the situation very well.
Naraku nodded upon hearing this and said softly:
"Alright, thank you for your hard work. Observe those four who have gone mad for a while, and bring the other eight to the office."
"Yes, sir!"
Uchiha Riki personally went out to greet the staff and carry out the tasks assigned by Naraku.
Naraku closed his eyes, his Chakra surging.
"Twelve of my Chakra, four of which are chaotic, seem to be the crazy ones Uchiha Riki Chakra. The other eight have stable Chakra, so it seems we succeeded."
Through the connection between the Cursed Seal, Naraku sensed the condition of these subjects. The type of ordinary Cursed Seal injected was different from the previous version. The previous version used four Root members to test the Earth Cursed Seal, and two of them survived.
However, after Naraku to the village, he could no longer sense the location of the two people. But those two people were no longer of any reference value because the Cursed Seal had been improved and replaced by Orochimaru once again. The only thing that those Root members were somewhat meaningful was that Orochimaru's data was quite reliable.
The experimental results of these death row inmates are not far from the accuracy of the data provided by Orochimaru, showing a success rate of about 50% for ordinary Cursed Seal.
As for the other four crazy ones, we don't know what their fate will be; we'll need to observe them for a few more days.
After Naraku pondered for a while, Uchiha Riki arrived at the office with several Prison Division members and eight death row inmates who had successfully undergone the technique.
Naraku forward and examined the eight people. They looked the same as Cursed Seal, except for three peculiar marks on their shoulders.
Some have three points, some have three broken lines, and some have three waves; in short, they are all very symmetrical.
Naraku gazed at the shackles binding them and said calmly:
"Remove their shackles."
"Ah, clan leader, they all possess Chakra. If we don't seal them off with shackles, they might be in danger."
Uchiha Riki was somewhat surprised, and Asana Naraku some advice.
"Aren't there a few of you here?"
Naraku didn't take it seriously and put some pressure on several Uchiha Prison Division members.
"Yes!"
Naraku back down and watched as the Prison Division officers from the Security Department opened the death row inmates' doors one by one.
After the death row inmates' shackles were removed, they stretched out their bodies, their eyes meeting inadvertently as if in communication.
The Cursed Seal on a death row inmate's neck extended, his Chakra erupted, and he charged toward Naraku with incredible speed using taijutsu and Taijutsu- Body Flicker Technique, grabbing at Naraku's neck with his right hand.
Before Naraku a move, the Prison Division member on alert nearby also used his Taijutsu- Body Flicker Technique to rush forward and knock the death row inmate aside.
The other death row inmates also developed markings on their bodies, and they all surged into a rage, charging towards Naraku.
"If we can capture the Hokage, we can escape!"
Some of the death row inmates were arrogant. Those who commit capital crimes are mostly cruel, bloodthirsty, cunning, and ruthless. After being released from their shackles, these people even tried to kidnap the Hokage.
Three Prison Division members and Uchiha Riki also acted quickly, but they couldn't stop so many people.
"Chief! Be careful!"
Uchiha Riki shouted loudly, grabbed a death row inmate, his Three Tomoe eyes swirling, and used Genjutsu to subdue the inmate, pinning him to the ground and putting the sealing shackles back on him.
"Great power!"
A death row inmate with Cursed Seal markings covering half his face revealed a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, seemingly both surprised and delighted that the Cursed Seal could actually enhance his power.
This death row inmate may have some talent, as he was able to quickly use this power to rush towards Naraku and deliver a heavy chop to Naraku's neck.
However, the chop to Naraku's neck felt like striking steel; Naraku unmoved, calmly forming a hand Hand Seals with his right index and middle fingers together, and softly uttering a shout:
"Drink!"
The eight prisoners who had been rioting immediately covered the Cursed Seal on their necks and screamed in agony.
Wow!
"Spare me!"
"I was wrong!"
The Cursed Seal a yellow-red light similar to magma. The death row inmates, who had just been exuding a powerful aura, were now kneeling or lying on the ground, clutching their necks, seemingly enduring immense pain.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Now you've added another crime to your list: attacking the Hokage. Your original pardon is gone."
Naraku lowered his right hand, and the eight people in the arena who had been Cursed Seal seemed to have their pain lessened, panting heavily.
Naraku's words filled them with even more despair, and they began to regret their attack on the Hokage.
"You broke your promise! What kind of Hokage is that? Bah!"
Even among the death row inmates, there were some with backbone; one of them spat at Naraku.
Naraku the side, watching the prisoner.
"Heh, then I'll give you another chance. You like this power, don't you?"
I will strengthen you once more. If you can withstand even one move from me, the promise of forgiveness will still stand.
Naraku sneered, preparing to begin the experiment with Cursed Seal Level 2.
