Hiruko took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He began forming hand seals, his movements slow and solemn. Each seal drew on the chakra pathways in the formation, gradually lighting them up.
"Chimera Technique... activate!"
Humm-
The entire stone platform jolted violently!
The five containers at the edges of the formation burst open simultaneously. The cellular tissue inside floated up, turning into five streams of differently colored chakra that poured into the five kekkei genkai ninja!
"Aaaargh!!"
All five let out agonized screams at once!
Their bodies began convulsing violently, and black, veinlike markings appeared on their skin. Like living things, those markings spread madly toward their hearts.
"Stage one: activate the source of the kekkei genkai."
Hiruko stared intently at the five, his eyes filled with fervor.
Lin Ze observed calmly from the shadows, rapidly recording in his mind:
The jutsu formula forcibly draws out all the potential of the kekkei genkai holders, bringing their cellular activity to a critical point while introducing precultivated Demon Bud cells as a medium...
This method causes irreversible harm to its subjects. Even if they survive, they will be left crippled.
Just like in the original story, Hiruko has no regard for other people's lives.
On the stone platform, the five kekkei genkai ninja's screams gradually weakened.
The black markings had covered their entire bodies before finally gathering at their chests, forming five fist-sized black growths. Blood vessels pulsed on their surfaces, and they gave off nauseatingly cold chakra.
"Stage two: extraction!"
Hiruko formed hand seals again.
The five black growths split open simultaneously, and black, vinelike tendrils emerged from within. Their needle-sharp tips plunged into the five ninja's hearts!
Squelch!
Blood splattered!
Five differently colored chakra essences were forcibly extracted by the tendrils and surged along the formation's pathways
