As he rested and let the power of the chakra flow through his body, Sanosuke felt himself get stronger and stronger from the nature itself. He was a sage of Kumogakure and only obtained this great power from much strength and dedication to the art of senjutsu and by making his own life force become one with nature. As he abosrbed more and mroe of the chakra from the nature, he could even begin to hear the whispers of the land itself that he was taking the chakra from. From the ground, Sanosuke could begin to sense the life energy that was coming from the tiniest of ants the scuttle so close to each other. As they came close to Sanosuke, he could feel himself only absorbing only small morsals of their energy so that he can refill himself. From his training in senjutsu chakra, he can now pick and choose which life form he will draw energy from; so Sanosuke would only take the chakra from the animals and life sources that could withstand the pull he was imposing on them. Even with those that could withstand it, Sanosuke would not kill them from the amount of chakra he was taking; at best they would have sluggish movements for an hour at best. Sanosuke wouldn't dare absorb enough life energy from the life of Kiri that would kill the animals and insects that inhabited it.
From his training of senjutsu when starting off from taking in the charka form nature, Sanosuke would absorb anything that would hold life energy. Even if it meant he would have to extinguish that small flicker of light in each inhabitant of nature, Sanosuke would do that. But it wasn't until Titania showed him the errors of his ways through many hours of meditation. From those long hours of self reflection, he realized that killing nature habitats by taking their life energy for his power was like he was claiming the life of regular human beings. Whenever he took the energy of small animals, he could hear their thoughts and their hearts. From there Sanosuke could hear and sense that they themselves were just like other people. They had lifves, they had dreams, some of them had families. And whenever Sanosuke took away the chakra from the animals without thinking about them, Sanosuke was ending their lives; he was killing again with apathy as a his weapon and battle as his motivation. From that point on in his trainng, Sanosuke would only absorb enough to fuel him and just tire those he was gaining energy from. But there were times when he would misjudge his pulling and accidentally kill the life he was gaining energy from. His heart would weep silently as he took in their energy and use that as motivation. But so far nothing was happening.
Their energy was giving him the strength he needed to fight against Kenji. For now the world was black behind his close eyelids. The only thing that made him remember that he was in battle was the high pitch ringing that was going through his ears from Kenji's genjutsu. It seemed as though it had gotten stronger and now was even harming him greatly. But still Sanosuke would push himself on focus only on a simple touch and just gaining the chakra needed from nature itself. Sanosuke was sure that with those factors that victory would be assured. Sanosuke knew that Kenji going into sage mode would be a tide turner but he would show the lion the sting of a patient wasp. Even if it meant that his ears would be ringing for a while, Sanosuke would bear it and just focus on waiting. There was one thing that Sanosuke was glad for the genjutsu; he could only hear the genjutsu's screaming resonance and not Navi's painful screams that Sanosuke could tell she was going through hell. The two of them were connected spiritually, and because of that he could feel when the blue tiny wasp was in pain by just senses. If Sanosuke should have personally heard Navi's screams of pain, he would have abandoned the plan and stopped at nothing at beating Kenji to a bloody pulp. Navi was Sanosuke's spiritual partner as well, so all he could do was just sooth her soul and just tell her to bear with him for a little longer....soon it would be over.
