Chapter 338: Admission Office is Still on the Move
After experiencing the familiar sensation where the world spun before his eyes, Hiruko found himself already in his base on Mount Shumisen. Despite not being his first time, he couldn't help but be amazed by Masked Man's teleportation ability. It was incredibly convenient.
However, Hiruko had just been reprimanded by Masked Man, so he realized that he couldn't confront the Masked Man directly at this moment. He had already angered him a bit earlier.
So, despite being curious, Hiruko didn't delve further and instead attempted a more indirect approach, trying to gather some information through flattery.
But Obito was extremely cautious. He didn't even trust White Zetsu, let alone Hiruko. So, he didn't buy Hiruko's flattery and didn't pay much attention to his questions.
Seeing that Obito ignored him, Hiruko gave up on trying to get information out of him and focused on preparing for the ritual.
The process of absorbing a Bloodline Limit through Chimera Technique was not as simple as placing a hand on it and directly absorbing it. Each Bloodline Limit had its own unique ritual, which allowed for the maximum absorption of their power while reducing the side effects of the Chimera Technique. In a sense, these rituals were the essence of the technique.
Hiruko even believed that he had developed a completely new type of Ninjutsu – Ritual Ninjutsu.
Of course, he didn't invent the ritual itself. He had discovered them in ancient texts from obscure cults that worshipped nameless deities. According to those texts, if performed correctly, these rituals could give minor artifacts or interesting abilities.
However, Hiruko had a vivid imagination. He decided to merge Chakra and rituals.
After extensive experimentation, he developed the Chimera Technique.
This time, the ritual was more gruesome than the previous one. Hiruko soaked himself in water and electrocuted himself with thunder before moving on to the final step: absorbing the Shinobi's Storm Release.
