The White Zetsu Mark Sealing Technique designed by Che had already been inscribed onto these fierce beasts. Next was to implant the White Zetsu Cells into the reserved locations and then fully activate the Sealing Technique.
Che wasn't lacking in White Zetsu Cells, but what he didn't lack were second-generation White Zetsu Cells. After division and differentiation, the Wood Release Chakra and Yang Release Chakra produced by the White Zetsu Cells seemed to have decreased in quality.
If the Wood Release and Yang Release abilities of the White Zetsu body were a level higher than Yamato's, then the second-generation White Zetsu Cells were only at Yamato's level.
The White Zetsu Cells transplanted onto these eight fierce beasts were naturally second-generation, which was already sufficient for these beasts with only a tiny bit of Chakra.
Don't let their fierce and massive appearance fool you; they couldn't even defeat Yunyan-chan, which is the difference between wild beasts and Ninja beasts.
The Soft Sword easily cut open the skin cells of these fierce beasts, and Che implanted a portion of second-generation White Zetsu Cells into the central area of the Sealing Technique.
He then immediately formed hand seals to activate the Sealing Technique. This Sealing Technique would automatically draw Chakra from the White Zetsu to reinforce and maintain its operation. As long as the filter size was appropriate, it could definitely be sealed permanently with ease.
The implantation of the White Zetsu Cells immediately began to invade the internal cells of these fierce beasts' seals, devouring them and turning them into nutrients. Soon, a surge of Wood Release Chakra and Yang Release Chakra emanated from the seal.
Just as Che had guessed, his seal had no problems; it mainly depended on whether the filter of this Sealing Technique was suitable.
However, if too much Wood Release Chakra and Yang Release Chakra were generated, it could also lead to the bodies of these fierce beasts becoming lignified or undergoing abnormal deformation.
The erosion of their own cells and the influx of White Zetsu Chakra were extremely painful for these fierce beasts. They writhed on the ground, and although they were restrained by Water Release Ninjutsu, they still dug out large pits on the ground.
Hisses and roars rose and fell from the animals that could make sounds. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the third brother was doing something to the third sister.
After a long time, the movements of these fierce beasts gradually subsided. Soon, several of them died, their bodies lignified into large trees or deformed beyond recognition, and then exploded into piles of flesh and blood fragments.
Che was mentally prepared, but the eight pirates next to him felt a chill down their spines. They empathized with the beasts' experience, feeling as if it was they who were turning into large trees and exploding into fragments.
However, there were still successes. The Bay Crocodile, Deep Sea Worm, Highly Venomous Sea Snake, and Blue-Ringed Octopus all survived. In short, the success rate was quite high, with fifty percent on the first try.
The surviving Bay Crocodile's body stretched to over ten meters, but lacking nutrients, its body became as thin as a snake. Its crocodile skin became lignified, but because of this, it could use Wood Release. Coupled with its elongated and thicker limbs, it looked like a Lirong.
The Deep Sea Worm was completely lignified, but for some unknown reason, it did not die. Instead, it became even stronger, and its Wood Release usage was even more formidable than the Bay Crocodile's.
The Highly Venomous Sea Snake did not lignify, nor did its body enlarge, but it seemed to be able to absorb Natural Energy and possessed Sage Art Chakra, which was quite impressive. Perhaps in a few hundred years, it could replace the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave.
The Blue-Ringed Octopus grew enormous, each tentacle over ten meters long. It also seemed capable of shrinking its body, and its regeneration ability was extremely powerful.
These four fierce beasts represented four different enhancement paths: first, the Bay Crocodile's balanced path, mastering both Wood Release and Yang Release, with no obvious weaknesses.
Second, the Deep Sea Worm, which achieved extreme mastery of Wood Release, but at the cost of its body lignifying. Its Wood Release ability was no worse than Yamato's.
Third, the Highly Venomous Sea Snake, which mysteriously activated a Sage Snake Body, allowing it to absorb Natural Energy, but it did not possess Wood Release or Yang Release.
Fourth, the Blue-Ringed Octopus, which achieved extreme mastery of Yang Release, somewhat similar to the Akimichi Clan, but it also possessed super regeneration ability.
Their intelligence greatly increased, especially the Sage-transformed Highly Venomous Sea Snake, whose eyes shimmered with wisdom. After breaking free from their restraints, their first thought was to devour the humans in front of them.
Unfortunately, they encountered Che. These Ninja beasts, whose Chakra levels were only at the Chunin level, lost their ability to resist with just one Genjutsu.
To prevent them from continuing to bite their master, Che placed the Orochi Tongue Seal on them, and after punishing them with a cursed seal, their eyes immediately became clear.
They obediently allowed Che to establish a Summoning Contract and docilely allowed Che to take some cell tissues. Only after receiving permission did they endure their extreme hunger and swiftly return to the sea to forage.
"Very good. With this experience, I have already found a suitable version for humans. Do you want to try it? If successful, you can at least become a Chunin immediately, and you might even possess the Wood Release and Yang Release like the Ninja God!"
Che turned to look at the eight disabled pirate Ninja. He planned to immediately begin human experimentation, further refining the Bay Crocodile's Sealing Technique version into eight different versions to find the most suitable one for humans.
Several pirates wore mournful expressions. Did they have the right to refuse? They could only line up one by one to come before Che, standing in the newly drawn sealing array patterns.
As Che formed hand seals, the Sealing Technique runes climbed from the sealing array patterns on the ground onto their bodies, then formed the artistic characters "Apostle" on their backs.
He took out the second-generation White Zetsu Cells and implanted them one by one into the center of the Sealing Technique on their backs. Then, he activated the Sealing Technique, and the White Zetsu Cells began to invade these partial cell tissues, turning them into nutrients.
These eight pirates were like victims of torture, collapsing to the ground and convulsing, cold sweat rolling down in large beads, their faces bulging with veins.
However, this time it was very successful, and none of them died. Che could declare his cursed seal's success rate to be one hundred percent. This was a great advancement.
Among the eight of them, two possessed Wood Release at Yamato's level, and their Chakra levels reached the Jonin level, with some of their body hair lignified.
Another two gained the self-healing ability bestowed by Yang Release, but they did not have the Blue-Ringed Octopus's regeneration ability, and their severed hands and feet still did not recover.
There were also two who possessed a more balanced Wood Release and Yang Release ability, but neither their Yang Release nor Wood Release could compare to those with singular Wood Release or Yang Release mastery.
However, in combat, the balanced ones were still somewhat more formidable, with better endurance and Wood Release being more vital.
Furthermore, one person gained the ability to absorb Natural Energy and synthesize Sage Art Chakra, but he himself could not absorb Natural Energy; he could only use Sage Art entirely through the White Zetsu Mark.
The last person, who was also the strongest pirate who captured the Bay Crocodile, possessed the most balanced three abilities, and his strength was also the strongest, definitely at the Elite Jonin level.
Che was still somewhat puzzled as to why the filter size of the Sealing Technique could have three different variations, but he had a vague conjecture.
"From today onwards, you are the Apostles of my Null Organization. From now on, you shall strive for peace in the Ninja World..."
After Che gave them a grand speech, he let them adapt to their abilities, while he returned to the rudimentary laboratory to search for the reasons behind the differentiation.
