A Sentence to be Carried Out #1, take II

The sudden scraping of furniture against the tile floor shook the young teen out of her forlorn daze.  As she looked to see what the ANBU was doing, she noticed odd chains had sprouted out of the man's back.  They looked like they were made from his chakra, but they were more than sufficient enough to move physical objects around.  Once a space was cleared, the masked man began to set up a few circles on the ground.  Once everything was set up, the man motioned for her to sit in the center and to pull up her shirt once more.  He began to write out a long, drawn-out formula written in his own blood.  It began on the girl's back, but, soon enough, sprawled out on the floor as well, until it barely fit within the prepared space.

The written letter were warm at first until they hardened.  It was like feeling drying paint on one's body.  Kasumi tried to remain still as the masked man wrote.  One small mistake could alter the technique entirely.  When he was finished writing, Kasumi could hear the man's fingers rub together as if he were creating hand seals.  

Right, this is it... Kasumi thought as she grit her teeth.  

She was ill prepared.  Kasumi's white eyes widened as the blood formula reseeded around the foreign seal.  Calling it painful was an understatement.  The pain was searing – it felt like the man was branding her flesh.  Kasumi screamed in pain as her body locked up due to the shock.  Kasumi gasped and breathed heavily as the words settled and formed the Evil Sealing Method around the foreign seal, which was now very visible.  The seal seemed agitated that it was now trapped – like an angry wasp trapped inside a glass jar.  It would expand and test the limits of the newly placed seal, but once the Evil Sealing Method finally “cooled,” it would settle back to its natural size.  Fortunately for the ANBU, the young Hyuuga had slumped to the floor, having passed out from the pain.

The masked man was now free to inspect the seal form an academic prospective.  As he knelt down next to the fainted Hyuuga, he saw its design for the first time up close.  In some cases, it reminded him of the Four Symbols Seal.  In its simplest form, the foreign seal was like a giant funnel placed on the girl's shoulder.  Once opened, the chakra could be poured inside to be kept in an container for safe keeping.  Attempting to cut away the container, would risk cutting too deep and slicing it open – which may cause the catastrophic melt down.  

The door which would reveal the foreign chakra was locked tight.  After the ANBU's seal was placed around it, the foreign seal seemed to have locked even tighter than before.  A combination lock of sorts that now had a few extra digits making getting the right combination next to impossible.  It wasn't the only opening, however.  Towards the girl's tenketsu was the second opening on the foreign seal.  It consisted of several various formula which entailed the perimeters needed to be satisfied.  It was essentially an outflow valve.  Much foreign chakra existed behind the seal's opening. The exit valve was pressurized and armed to be released all at once, just as fast as it could enter the girl's chakra network.  

One thing was certain, the seal itself was never going away.  If the masked man's skills were sound enough, he might would be able to extract the chakra.  It would be but an inert mark on the girl's should, like a tattoo - a safe and empty vessel.   If the man was very skilled, then perhaps the seal could be rewritten to be something better suited for Kiri's needs.  It was an artistic thing of beauty to one such as the masked man.  Having knowledge of Fuuinjutsu, he could surely give credit where credit is due.  As for any countermeasures, the ANBU would have to look deeper down the rabbit hole...

Flipping through the pages of the Fuinjutsu book he had gathered from, Scyxion knew it was only a matter of time before he'd find the right formula for the correct way of dispelling said seal. He was amazed to be discovering new seals at this point in time but he was aware that he couldn't learn about each and every individual seal out there known to the shinobi world. Carefully, he turned the pages of the book, looking over each seal thoroughly, even if it didn't match the appearance on the girl's arm. So fuinjutsu masters are known to layer it with other seals that will alter the image or outright hide the presence of it as a whole in which case, he had to get the special device he had asked the previous Anbu for. After cycling through what seemed like an endless sea of pages, Scyxion finally found the right one with the description fitting this particular one on the girl's shoulder. tracing his finger along the text in the book, he began to mumble the instructions under his breath before giving a rather annoyed exhale. Leaving the book opened to the page it was on, he placed it down on the floor as the tables and counters were huddling up in the corners of the room at the moment.

Well, the procedure wasn't too difficult for him but the appearance and the scarring would be lasting. It would be an empty husk, never to be used again with the first seal he had put around it. Unfortunately, he couldn't completely remove it as it was supposed to be a one and done kind of deal without the wearer ever having hopes of returning. For now, the best he could do was drain the chakra out of it so it remained dormant, like draining pus out of a cis. He'd also have to fetch a container of some kind to put the said foreign chakra into as since it wasn't made from a human, he didn't know what adverse effects it could have on his body. Any container would do as all he had to do was slap a seal on it in order to make it hold chakra, though the size did matter and there was a lot of chakra packed into that tiny, little seal. getting up from his kneeling position, he began to look around for something that would serve as a medium for the chakra. Something large but easy to carry that can be closed with a lid of some kind. After searching throughout the room, he found a medical waste container that would serve as the perfect container.

Taking it with both hands, he placed it down, a few feet behind Kasumi before preparing hand signs of some kind. The hand signs went as followed, Ram, Tiger and Ox before placing his hand onto the ground. As he did so, he watched the seal expand under both Kasumi and the container. He then made the hand seals of Tiger, Dog, Ox, Dragon, Boar, Rat, Tiger and placing it onto the container. Now that he has done this procedure, the chakra from the seal on Kasumi's shoulder would begin to drain into the waste container at a timely manner. He could have made it siphon out of her faster but the pain that would cause would be excruciating and above all, unnecessary. The pace was still fairly quick so it should only take about three or so hours give or take. Luckily for him, there was some errands he had to tend to so he would be back later on. Once he came back, the seal should be done draining and he'd be able to determine if she was allowed to walk around freely or not after some further tests. Nothing like interrogation or the like as, they've already gone through that to the best of their abilities with a willing participant. 

Deciding he was no longer needed for the time being, he decided to exit the room for a few minutes before coming back with a pile of books that he could find that might seem interesting for a teenager to read. It was a couple of fantasy novels that he had been reading here and there that normally would kill time for him if he wasn't doing anything important. He decided to leave them with the girl for the time being as he went out to do other things. He'd be back in two hours time in order to oversee the rest of the procedure.

Kasumi began to stir as the ANBU departed out of the examination room.  He had left a stack of books for her to keep her mind off of things while she waited.  Something was irritating the girl as she flopped around the girl.  While not fully conscious, the girl whined as her face scrunched up.  The girl felt a pricking and tingling sensation as the foreign chakra began to flow out of the seal that was placed on her back.

Suddenly she was awake.  As the chakra began to siphon more freely into the makeshift vessel, the feeling grew in intensity.  The pressure was releasing which felt like a relieving sensation, however, the foreign seal wasn't designed to be drained in that way.  It felt like her shoulder was on fire, but not because she was hot.  It was the exact opposite.  Her shoulder was freezing as all of the chakra was being released out of the ANBU's incision.  Kasumi winced in pain as she got to her knees.

Ouch, ow, why am I still in pain? Kasumi wondered.

The young Hyuuga stuttered as she turned her head to see what was causing the pain.  To her surprise, she saw what looked to be purple liquid flowing out of her shoulder.  It produced a strange sound as it flowed.  It sounded like a cross between pink noise static and wind.  In truth, the constant droning was rather annoying when it was right next to the girl's ear.  But that was the least of her worries.  

Kasumi was stuck with her shirt hanging around her neck.  She was quite thankful that the masked man had left the room as she felt vulnerable, but on the same token, Kasumi wished the man remained.  She wanted a hand to squeeze, she  wanted someone to tell her that it was going to be alright.  The masked man had tampered with something that she knew nothing of, and while she did not know how capable her escort was, she assumed that he knew what he was doing.  But in the heat of the moment, her thoughts were allowed to wonder.  

What if he opened it up too much?  If that were to happen, will the seal activate?  Will I be able to form chakra still?  What if that chakra is the only reason I'm alive, still?  Will I be discarded after this? Kasumi wondered as she knelt on all fours.  Aloide, please, I don't want to die.  You're not going to cast me out, or throw me away afterwards, are you?

Every second felt like a minute, every minute felt like an hour, and every hour felt like a lifetime.  Her knees ached from having her weight on them for so long.  Her calf muscles where throbbing, but the pain from her shoulder was finally starting to subside.  There did not seem to be as much pressure behind the foreign seal as there was before, and it felt like it was starting to warm back up.  Kasumi noticed the pile of books, which the ANBU had set out for her, and decided to take one from off the stack.  She looked to see what the tile was called, it read: “The Halfling.”

As she skimmed through the pages it seemed to be a fantasy novel about some elderly, robed man.  He was able to preform some powerful jutsu and who led a group of thirteen bearded men to a halfling's underground home.  The man was able to convince the Halfling to join their quest to go on an adventure to reclaim the bearded men's ancestral village, hidden in a lone mountain.  Their journey was fraught with peril and once they finally reached their destination, the party discovered that a mythical serpent with wings had taken up refuge.  

It was at this time, Kasumi heard the footsteps of someone coming down the hall.  Out of the corner of her pearly eyes, she noticed that the masked man had returned...

Going out to run the errands he needed to, Scyxion's travels took him out and about around the facility as there were other things he needed to tend to. Although his primary role was that of being the Mizukage's bodyguard. He was originally a team leader for both the Hunter-Ninja squads and Investigations teams. It was a big responsibility to fill both but he proved he could handle both positions and managed them the best he could. Eventually, it was revealed he was also quite good at combat when it came down to it and so with his plethora of talents, he became one of the candidates of being the Mizukage's bodyguard for his talents in information gathering, leadership and combat skills. They were another bodyguard the Kage kept with him at all times but even he didn't know too much about him and he didn't really care to ask since it seemed both of them knew each other on a personal level. For now, he'd walk around the building to make sure his old team was still still keeping up the good work and possibly help them with any trouble they might run into along the way. He was no longer in charge and some of his privileges were revoked but he still carried the air of a competent leader around him. Occasionally, he swing by every now and again in order to help the new leader which used to be under him and give him tips and pointers on how to effectively conduct an investigation. He only had had time to do this task, or hobby as some liked to call it, when he was already in the area. Sometimes, they'd have questions for him and other times, they'd be confused when trying to figure out certain cases and the like in which he'd give them assistance.

After all was said and done, he realized two and a half hours had passed while he was out. and he figured it was time for him to go back to the room where he was extracting the foul chakra from the girl's shoulder. Bidding his team farewell, he headed back to the room where the girl was in order to check out the process of the chakra dripping process. Upon his return, he had seen the process had gone a lot faster than he anticipated and it was done without a single complication that he secretly feared. It seems she had relaxed herself by reading those fantasy novels he had enjoyed himself once upon a time which may make the process go a lot faster than it normally would. Unfortunately, even though the seal had been disarmed and drained of the chakra, Scyxion still couldn't successfully break it with his most powerful breaking Fuinjutsu which was quite curious indeed. The image of the seal was still there although it was quite faded but at least it couldn't be used a second time without recreating the seal a second time. If the girl truly wasn't a part of the scheme then it shouldn't be an issue. He still wasn't quite sure if she was willing to be a human sacrifice for all this but as far as what he saw in her memories, he figured she wasn't.

Well, as far as he could tell, everything was fine from here on out and she was free to go. It seems as if there's nothing else that can be done at this point in time so he wouldn't dwell upon it for the most part. Just in case, he figured he'd keep the evil sealing technique on her just to be safe. After all was said and done, Scyxion had told the girl she was free to go. If she remembered how to get back to the village, she was welcomed to do so on her own as he still had things to finish up here. If not, she'd have to wait another hour or so to help out with some kind of investigation in a different department of the facility they were in. Regardless of her answer, he'd nod and head back to the room he was in previously before for another forty five minutes or so before coming back to the room they were both in to clean up. If she was still present, he'd tell her to follow him so they can get back on the train ride there, it wouldn't cost her a thing if she came with him regardless of if she knew her way back or not. If not, he'd just clean up and take the train home when he was. Regardless, he would go back with a report of the situation to Mizukage whenever he came back from his trip. He also advised that the girl would go back and make sure there isn't anything else the current Mizukage would like her to do. With that, Scyxion took the train home and continued on with his day.
