Konan slowly opened her eyes.
Feeling the unusual headache, she knew she had fallen under Genjutsu.
Konan formed hand seals and mobilized the chakra within her body.
"It seems my Genjutsu has been dispelled. This is reality now."
Konan climbed down from the iron bed and looked around, discovering that she was in a completely unfamiliar place.
