At this time, whether it was the researchers around the ritual site, or Yakumo and Haku separated by a mountain peak, all had grave expressions.
They were not only nervously waiting for the result of the ritual, but also bearing the terrifying aura overflowing from the ritual site.
This aura was hard to describe; it was not how dense the chakra was, nor was it some kind of killing intent or obsession, but an aura in the literal sense. The shinobi around who felt this aura were just like prey sensing the aura of a predator, instinctively feeling unease and fear.
"Damn it, did it succeed or not? There is no reason for there to be so much smoke!"
Hiruko was somewhat anxious, because he was very repulsed by this aura overflowing from the ritual site!
Kabuto asked Ranmaru somewhat nervously: "How is it?"
Hearing this, Delta also looked at Ranmaru.
Ranmaru shook his head.
He had long activated his super Hogan, but the things inside the smoke were wrapped by a very special chakra, so even his Hogan could not see through it.
Beep beep beep...
At this time, an instrument suddenly let out a sharp alarm sound. Immediately after, the second one, the third one, and then almost all the instruments let out ear-piercing alarms.
The researchers operating the instruments looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally had to look helplessly at Amado.
Amado took a deep drag of his cigarette.
All instruments failed instantly, no, it should be said that all instruments reached their detection limit in an instant, which made him feel somewhat at a loss!
At this moment, all detection means malfunctioned, and all everyone could do was wait.
Whoosh...
A moment later, a strong wind blew past, blowing away the smoke, dust, and steam shrouding the ritual site, finally revealing the scene of the ritual site.
"Hiss!"
"That is..."
"A cocoon?!"
Either exclaiming, or gasping, or wondering, everyone who saw the scene in the center of the ritual was startled.
Because in the center of the ritual, which was the position Orochimaru was in before, there was no figure of Orochimaru. Replacing it was a huge colloidal flesh cocoon, standing there in the ritual site, and pulsating rhythmically.
Amado looked at Hiruko: "What is going on?"
Hiruko was also confused: "This situation has never appeared before!"
The fusion of the 'Chimera Technique' is very rough, there is simply no process of forming a cocoon. Among the two who had experienced the ritual, whether it was Hiruko or Ranmaru, both forcibly fused the sacrifices directly into their bodies, and finally successfully obtained the Bloodline Limit on the sacrifices.
Seeing this, Amado had to order the assistants beside him: "Record!"
"Yes!"
The researchers immediately started an all-around recording of the huge cocoon in the center of the ritual site.
Just as the researchers were busy recording all the details of the huge cocoon, with a crack, a cracking sound came from the colloidal huge cocoon.
Seeing this, the researchers retreated in panic.
Only then did everyone discover that the huge cocoon, which was originally colloidal and accompanied by rhythmic pulsating, had hardened into a jade-like texture at some point.
The cracking sound just now came from the jade-textured huge cocoon.
Amado narrowed his eyes and ordered the assistant beside him: "Record it down, our cognition was interfered with by the huge cocoon, maybe visual cognition, maybe cognition of time!"
"Yes, yes!"
The assistant hurriedly recorded it, cold sweat streaming down his body.
Undoubtedly, this huge cocoon was very strange.
...
There were clearly so many people around paying attention, yet not a single person noticed in advance that the colloidal huge cocoon was hardening; all of them only realized it after hearing the cracking sound.
With Amado's experience, he instantly judged that everyone's perception was interfered with by the huge cocoon!
As for exactly which kind of perception was interfered with, it was difficult for him to judge for a moment. In short, it was nothing more than visual perception, or perception of time.
Crack crack...
The cracking sound continued, and everyone could already clearly see that on the jade-like huge cocoon, one crack after another appeared.
Bang!
Immediately after, with a loud noise, the huge cocoon exploded completely!
Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure walked out.
Amado's gaze turned cold.
This figure walking out of the huge cocoon looked seventy or eighty percent like Orochimaru in appearance, but the temperament and chakra aura were like a completely different person from the previous Orochimaru.
Hiruko was also stunned: "Orochimaru?"
Orochimaru smiled: "It seems I got lucky and succeeded!"
Hearing Orochimaru's response, the crowd around secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least what walked out of the huge cocoon was not some monster.
Amado, however, did not relax his vigilance. He still stared fixedly at Orochimaru: "How does it feel? Did you obtain Shinjutsu?"
Orochimaru raised his arms: "I feel great. As for Shinjutsu, I cannot be sure yet, I'm afraid I need some time to explore it."
Amado nodded slightly.
This was also a normal situation. Back then, Eida and her brother Daemon also explored their Shinjutsu bit by bit. Even until now, Eida still hasn't been able to completely control her Shinjutsu.
However, he still did not let his guard down, saying: "If it is convenient, come over for a full body checkup, so I can report to the higher-ups!"
Orochimaru seemed not to notice Amado's veiled threat, and came to the instrument very cooperatively, accepting the full body checkup.
After a while, Orochimaru's checkup data came out.
Looking at the checkup data on the report, Amado couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
Judging from the data, Orochimaru's various indicators had all surpassed the limit of humans; even Eida and Daemon who mastered 'Shinjutsu' were inferior to him.
This kind of data meant that as long as nothing unexpected happened, Orochimaru definitely obtained some kind of 'Shinjutsu' in the ritual.
He glanced at Orochimaru without leaving a trace, thinking to himself: "Please don't let it be 'Omnipotence'!"
The Shinjutsu 'Omnipotence' is really too unreasonable. In the hands of a love-struck little girl like Eida, it can still barely be controlled, but if it falls into the hands of a schemer like Orochimaru, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Orochimaru said to Amado: "Is it done?"
Amado nodded: "Yes, the checkup is complete. The data is extremely exaggerated. Currently, it can be confirmed that the ritual succeeded!"
Hiruko leaned over at this moment, glanced at the checkup report in Amado's hand, his eyes flickering.
While shocked by Orochimaru's body data, a strong sense of unwillingness and jealousy welled up in the bottom of his heart.
"Damn it, it was clearly my ritual, yet it actually benefited this bastard Orochimaru! If it were me, I could break away from the restraint of 'A' and regain freedom! Damn Orochimaru, you stole my ritual!"
At this moment, Hiruko felt that everything Orochimaru possessed should belong to him!
Orochimaru looked at Hiruko with slight surprise, as if he heard Hiruko's inner voice...
