The Jutsu, or ritual as Renjiro had termed it, that Kushina was using was called Magatama. It directly translated to Vitality.
The Jutsu was a manifestation of the inherent strength and resilience of the Uzumaki clan. When performed, it bathed the target in a radiant aura of swirling chakra, imbuing them with enhanced vitality and fortitude.
The Jutsu worked by tapping into the unique energy available in the Uzumaki bloodline, channelling it throughout the target's body to bolster their physical and spiritual capabilities.
As a shimmering aura of crimson and gold appeared, the pain that Renjiro was experiencing seemed to increase exponentially. The aura radiated outward from Renjiro's body in undulating waves, creating a protective barrier that surrounded both him and Kushina like a cocoon of energy.
"Renjiro, I know that you are in pain, but I want to try to assimilate the chakra for as long as you can," Kushina said to the near-unconscious chunin lying before her.
Renjiro didn't know how, but he did as directed and began trying to assimilate the Chakra he was getting from Kushina.
Fortunately, it offered some respite as the pain dulled. He was still feeling pain, but it was at least more manageable than before.
"That is good, Renjiro. Keep circulating your chakra in your body."
Renjiro kept on circulating his chakra as the crimson aura surrounding them began to dull.
"Now we have completed the first phase, Renjiro. For this next one, just try your best to stay awake."
Immediately Kushina finished talking, she used her left hand to perform a hand sign and slammed it onto Renjiro's naval region. This was followed by a surge of power that started coursing through Renjiro's veins, invigorating him from within.
If before he was feeling hot steam coursing through him, it now felt like molten lava was coursing through him. It was not like Renjiro had ever experienced the temperatures, but he could swear this was how it felt.
Immediately, drops of sweat began forming on his forehead and Renjiro could not help but start squirming from the pain. He bit his lips so hard that they started to bleed.
'We are not going to get good results if he keeps on moving.' Kushina thought as she began channelling her chakra.
With a focused intensity in her eyes, the air around her began to crackle with energy as Adamantine Chains materialized from her torso. Gleaming with an otherworldly luminescence, the chains snaked forth from her body with fluid grace and wrapped around Renjiro.
With Rejiro in place, Kushina continued infusing more and more chakra into Renjiro. Renjiro could no longer move, but his muscles started spasming as he was now drenched in sweat.
'Hasn't he had enough? My reserves are almost half-depleted. That is more than half of his total chakra and yet his tenketsus aren't showing any signs of filling up.'
'Anyway, I have more chakra to spare, so I'll just continue going on for a while. I am sure that the more chakra Renjiro gets, the more chances he has of awakening an ability.'
Two more hours passed with Kushina still infusing chakra to Renjiro.
Renjiro was in a near comatose state where he was aware of what was happening, but he couldn't move. It was like he was dreaming and fighting sleep paralysis at the same time. On top of that, his eyes were stinging him!
Meanwhile, Kushina had begun thinking of other things when a shiver passing through her brought her out of her Reverie.
'Wait, what is happening? Renjiro's eyes are bleeding, has his body reached the threshold?'
Kushina did a quick check on Renjiro's body and apart from his eyes bleeding, nothing else was different. Well, that was until Kushina noticed the glow on her hands.
"What have I done? Renjiro has had enough. I should stop before things get bad for both him and me."
As Kushina noticed the orange glow on her hands instead of the previous blue one, Renjiro's eyes, which were still bleeding, were reacting differently to the new chakra entering his chakra network.
His three tomoe were spinning rapidly. Just as they were about to stop and take shape, they reverted back to normal. This was because Kushina had stopped the chakra infusion.
"We have completed the process, Renjiro. You can now rest." Kushina said as Renjiro finally threw in the towel and fainted.
'I have used more chakra than I expected. I even used that guy's chakra and I still couldn't reach the threshold. This is a good sign, but I hope using the Kyubi's chakra will not have adverse effects on Renjiro.'
Kushina sat down in a lotus position and began to meditate. She tapped into the Nine Tails Chakra, so she had to regain more of her chakra as fast as possible to ensure the Kyubi did not comprise the seal.
Although she could still handle things even if the Kyubi decided to escape, it would complicate a lot of things and even disrupt Renjiro, who was still recovering from the Magatama Jutsu.
Fortunately, Kushina's high chakra regeneration kicked in and after some minutes, her chakra reserves completely filled up. She got up and decided to wait until Renjiro woke up.
======
Renjiro's eyes fluttered open, blinking away the remnants of sleep. He expected to wake up feeling groggy and disoriented as he did from another incident in the past. However, he felt better than ever.
It was as if every cell in his body had been revitalized, replenishing him from within. With a deep inhale, Renjiro stretched his limbs.
'I feel good. It's like I have had the best sleep in my two lifetimes.'
As he rose from his bed, Renjiro realized that he was still in his pair of shorts and now had blood stains all over his body.
"How are feeling, Renjiro?" Kushina asked as she approached Renjiro. Before Renjiro could answer, she placed a hand on Renjiro's shoulder.
'What is she doing? Wait, was she always this short?' Renjiro wondered.
Kushina's brows furrowed as she asked, "Are you Okay?"
Renjiro nodded
"Are you feeling anything now?"
"No," he said before his eyes widened and he asked, "Are you trying to infuse your chakra to me? I thought we were already done with the process?"
Kushina did not answer and just walked to a table near her and retrieved a seal. She then walked towards Renjiro holding the seal. Renjiro immediately backed away.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"What is wrong?"
"Why are you holding that seal?" Renjiro said pointing to the seal on her hand.
"I want to use it on you?" Kushina answered.
"Why?"
"It is an Inspect seal. I want to use it to see if there are any other changes to your body."
"Are you sure that it is the right seal?"
"Yes, why?" Kushina asked with a perplexed look on her face.
"You have already mistaken a seal you wanted to use on me once, so I just wanted to make sure it doesn't repeat," Renjiro answered as he sighed.
"Ooh, So that's why you are alarmed, don't worry, I have already checked if it is the right seal." Renjiro relaxed as Kushina placed the seal on his top left chest.
Renjiro sat as Kushina did more tests on him. She even used more seals on him. He did not know what exactly she did, but Renjiro chose to trust her.
Kushina even used a needle on his finger to draw some of his blood. He noticed the bleeding stop immediately Kushina drew the blood which was strange.
'Instead of wasting time thinking about it, Let me just wait for Kushina to finish up her experiments.'
"So, are you done?" Renjiro inquired.
"Yes," Kushina nodded as she took a seat in front of him.
"What is the conclusion?"
Kushina smiled as she said, "The process was a success! Everything happened as planned and you might have even awakened an ability!"
