It worked.
Thankfully, just as Ryo had planned, Sakura went diving for the Heaven Scroll that he had tossed out. He didn't think it would happen, but the fish actually took bait. He was still in severe pain, especially when he fell stomach-first onto the tree branch, but Ryo knew that it was now or never. He set his eyes on Sakura as she went for the scroll, and noticed that Azumi attempted to chase it down as well. However, he grinned slightly- mostly wincing in pain- as Sakura got to it first and managed to grab it.
He rolled over on his side, executed a few handsigns, and stuck his arms downwards out below him... Sakura standing just in his line of view in the hollow of his hands.
"Now! Ninja Art - Mind Transfer...Justu!" He grunted. In seconds, his body went limp and lifeless, his soul surging forwards in a straight line.
Things were quiet for a short moment, until it hit. Ryo had successfully reached his target as his soul slammed into Sakura, eventually causing her to freeze for a couple of seconds. A smirk then grew upon her face, and her head was raised. Ryo was in. He sighed in relief, but knew he had to act quick before someone realized his actual body, lying flat on the tree branch, was defenseless.
"Quick, Azumi! Its me!" Sakura called.
While in Sakura's body, Ryo reached down into where her Earth Scroll was tucked away, and held it tight in her right hand, the Heaven Scroll gripped in the left. As soon as he would be able to catch Azumi's attention, he would throw both scrolls at full force towards her. He was currently in the body of the Genin that was previously trying to attack her - so he hoped she wouldn't be too confused as to what was going on.
