The foreign structure began to collapse.
Its roots merged into his meridians.
Its energy nodes merged into his cells.
Chakra was no longer converted by the seed alone; it had become part of his body's metabolism.
The process continued until late into the following night.
At last, the final trace of resistance vanished.
The Chakra Seed completely fused into Lie Yang's body.
At that moment, every energy cycle within Lie Yang's body changed at once.
His flowing blood carried chakra.
His cellular respiration absorbed chakra.
His bones, muscles, nerves, and meridians became connected.
The foreign power that had once resided within a human body truly became a part of him.
From then on, chakra could no longer be taken from him.
Even if someone extracted it with Sealing Jutsu, they could only take away the energy temporarily stored within him. They could not touch the foundation itself.

Lie Yang could even interfere with the traces of chakra left behind by the caster.
When Genjutsu entered his consciousness, it was like breaking into a courtyard with its gates wide open.
Every path and every change lay under his control.
The consumption of ninjutsu was also greatly reduced.

This transformation lasted a full three days.
