Sanjiro sighed, sitting beside the hospital bed whilst staring down at her unconscious, resting face. Kakashi was gone, left to go keep watch over Naruto's match. This left Sanjiro to usher the nurses out of the room so he could attempt the ritual once more.
"There must be a reason for its failure... It's impossible..." Sanjiro muttered, placing his fingertips against her throat in a similar manner as before, "It's as if it's been forcefully pushed through; overlooked..."
Kazumi's brows immediately knitted together as her throat burned. An instant cold sweat was breaking out, startling Sanjiro.
"It's trying to consume her..." He frowned, emitting a light grey colour which sunk into her skin.
The light looked almost like purification, pushing away the already pushed. At this rate, he realised it was already too much tampered with. Any more, and Sanjiro feared it was break Kazumi's chakra core.
"It will be painful..." Sanjiro's eyes hardened, separating his fingers as the tattoo mark appeared against her throat, "Orochimaru seems intent on getting his way... Looks like I have no choice after all." He then paused, staring at her resting expression.
She was becoming more uncomfortable, her lips curling downwards as if she was fighting a nightmare. In a moment of softness, Sanjiro's eyes went a complete haze, blind when flaring his clan eye. A genjutsu was placed upon her, relieving Kazumi from the psychological damage of what he was about to perform.
"It might take away the trauma if I give her some memories from my past..." He smiled, his brows creasing upwards.
As the grey light grew brighter, Kazumi's back arched. Her physical body was undergoing stress despite her sudden, relaxed expression. The blackness of her mind was pulled into a sudden long dream. One she felt she couldn't get out of. One she felt compelled to stay in.
