Sigh, totally predictable filler arc 'Naruto meets someone else considered a monster, they bond' stuff, but more of the Anko backstory than I was previously thinking will probably work, here - the difference for TXY (and anywhere else Mitarashi Hotaru may pop up) is that after she survived the curse seal process, even if it didn't quite succeed the way he meant it too, Orochimaru decided she was still valuable as breeding material, and convinced her that the pain had been a relatively legitimate attempt to increase her strength as a ninja, his duty as a teacher.
This probably also included something along the lines of explaining that it was the first and worst stage of an extended process, or that he knew wat hadn't worked and would fix it when the first seal stabilised, or something along those lines - but given the mortality rate he mentions when he put one on Sasuke, just the fact that she DID live through an earlier, more experimental stage was promising, and with the prospect of his immortality jutsu he could afford to think in terms of generations.
Granted, long term planning and not being wasteful are slightly out of chara ter for Snakepants, but anybody can have a good day once in a while.

Dr. Akagi will recover. Observe, Rei smiled. Shinji-kun, are these your clothes?
Ritsuko shot up like a spring loaded meerkat. What? Shinji-kun is naked?
