Seeing that the illusion that served as the signal for the plan to start was successfully launched, Maki was unable to act according to the plan at this time.

Gaara had just been awakened from a dozing technique. His mind was still unstable and he was unable to transform into a tailed beast.

"Temari, Kankuro, take Gaara and evacuate first. We can make plans after his condition stabilizes!"

Maki, with a grim look on his face, immediately gave the two of them an order.

Temari and Kankuro also knew that the matter was of great importance. After saying "yes", they jumped down from the audience seats and held Gaara's arm and rolled out of the competition venue.

"Don't try to escape!"

Seeing this, Sasuke was about to chase after her, but was stopped by Sakura who suddenly entered the ring:

"Sasuke, you've already won. Now is not the time to be competitive!"

After hearing what Sakura said, Sasuke stopped chasing.

"Sakura, what's going on?"

Only then did Sasuke realize that Konoha seemed to be in crisis.

"I don't know the specific situation, but what is certain is that the Sand Village and the Sound Village have joined forces to attack Konoha."

Sakura said as she pointed to the Four Purple Flame Formation in the distance.

After the Nirvana Sutra was successfully launched, the Five Sound Ninjas activated the Four Purple Flame Formation and trapped Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage, and the Third Hokage in the barrier.

"Sakura, Sasuke!"

"Sakura-chan!"

Kakashi and Hinata also appeared on the field at the same time.

"Sasuke, I'm sorry, but the Chunin Exams are over.

Now the village has entered a state of war.

As a ninja, I now issue you an S-level mission:

Chase Gaara and the other two!"

Kakashi put away his usual lazy look and gave orders to Sasuke in a serious manner.

"Psychic art!"

As Kakashi pressed his right hand towards the ground, a burst of white smoke rose up with a "bang". When the smoke dissipated, a pug wearing clothes appeared in front of everyone.

"First go to the audience and look for someone who can be of use!"

After Kakashi gave the order again, he picked up a handful of soil stained with Gaara's blood and held it in front of Parker, letting it smell it.

As Puck nodded, Kakashi put him on the ground:

"I will now hand over the command of this mission to Sakura.

Everyone must obey her orders!"

After giving the order, Kakashi looked at Maki in the lounge and decided to deal with this troublesome guy himself.

"Teacher Kakashi, there must be something fishy about this attack. Just tie him up, don't kill him."

Sakura saw what Kakashi was thinking and tried to dissuade him.

Kakashi nodded, didn't ask any further questions, and instantly left the spot.

The situation is urgent now and it is no longer the time to dig into the details.

Sakura also activated her retractable love and bounced Sasuke, Hinata and Puck towards the audience.

Sakura and her group quickly woke up Kiba, Akamaru, and Tenten in the audience.

He kicked Shikamaru again, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

"So I was discovered. Looks like I'm involved in trouble again."

Shikamaru knew he couldn't pretend any longer, so he got up from the ground with a helpless look on his face.

Just as Sakura was about to tell her about her battle plan, Neji, who was wrapped in bandages, and Shino, who won without a fight because of Kankuro's withdrawal, also came to her.

"Sakura, since Miss Hinata is going, let me go too!"

Neji's gaze was firm, and contained a hint of majesty that could not be refused.

"I also want to compete with that puppeteer."

Shino also spoke.

He was very upset about Kankuro's withdrawal, because Shino felt that even if Kankuro had not withdrawn, he would still be confident of winning the game.

"I see!"

Sakura nodded.

"I decided to divide this operation into three groups.!"

Looking at everyone present, Sakura had already figured out how to allocate responsibilities.

"Naruto, Sasuke! Take Puck with you and chase them as soon as possible.

You are responsible for the attack, and your only task is to catch up with Gaara and the others as quickly as possible.

Don’t worry about anything else.”

After assigning tasks to Naruto and Sasuke, Sakura added:

"Sasuke, I hope you can leave Gaara to Naruto this time, and try to use illusions to support him."

Sakura's words made Sasuke a little dissatisfied. He felt that he was obviously stronger than Naruto, and Gaara should be left to him to deal with.

"Sasuke, Gaara's situation is very special, he has another kind of chakra in his body that doesn't belong to him!

If you use ninjutsu to attack, you will most likely be killed by Gaara.

So leave it to Naruto!"

Sakura did not explain the specific reason why she taught Gaara to Naruto. The little strong men present thought that Sakura said that Naruto had more chakra than Sasuke and was more suitable for a protracted battle.

But Sasuke and Neji had some different ideas. Sasuke knew the powerful strength that Naruto had burst out when fighting Orochimaru, and Neji even witnessed the strange Nine-Tails Chakra in Naruto's body.

"Don't worry, leave it to us!"

Naruto swung his right fist forward and gave Sakura a confident smile.

Sakura nodded and Naruto and Sasuke disappeared with Puck.

"Hinata, Shino, Tenten!

You three are responsible for supporting the assault team.

Your mission is to keep up with Naruto and Sasuke as much as possible, and cover their tracks to prevent the enemy's reinforcements from catching up with the assault team.

Once you catch up with them, you can join the battle and support Sasuke and Naruto."

Sakura then assigned tasks to Hinata, Tenten, and Shino.

"Similarly, after you catch up with Gaara, don't fight him too long, let Naruto do the main attack.

Of course, you can deal with enemies other than Gaara on your own."

After saying that, Sakura gave Tenten and Shino a meaningful look.

She knew that Shino had made a lot of preparations in the past month in order to have a showdown with Kankuro.

Tenten even lost to Temari in the preliminaries, so she would definitely not turn down the chance for revenge.

"Ah."

Shino nodded, accepting Sakura's favor.

"Okay, Sakura-chan."

Hinata naturally would not have any objection.

"Don't worry, Sakura. I won't show mercy if I see that woman again!"

Tenten also knew that Sakura wanted to give her a chance to defeat Temari head-on.

“Well, Tiantian, take this!

Don't force yourself, and don't try to be brave even if you can't win."

Sakura threw her Colt Python at Tenten, hoping that the pistol would increase her odds a little.

Tiantian also took the revolver and snorted proudly:

"I won't lose again!"

Then, in Hinata's shocked expression, Tenten hugged Sakura and whispered in her ear:

"You have to be careful too, don't get hurt."

"What are you talking about? Nothing's going to go wrong. Don't make it seem like a life-and-death separation."

Sakura also whispered something to comfort Tenten.

As Tenten let go of her hands, Sakura, who had left Tenten's fragrant embrace, gave another order:

"Then you guys go too. My two teammates are careless people, so I'll leave the task of covering our tracks to you."

Tenten and Shino knew the situation was urgent, so they set out immediately to track down Sasuke and Naruto.

"Sakura-chan..."

Hinata was irritated by Tenten's behavior just now. She was hesitant to speak to Sakura...

Hinata also wants a hug before going to battle!

When Sakura saw Hinata like this, she thought she was not confident in herself, so she smiled and touched Hinata's head:

"Hinata-chan, don't worry, this mission will be a success."

So Hinata followed Tenten and Shino with a complicated look on her face.

"There are only three of you left, Shikamaru. You should know your mission, right?"

Sakura looked seriously at Shikamaru, Kiba and Neji who stayed behind.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know..."

Shikamaru simply blocked his ears with his fingers, not wanting to hear what Sakura was going to say next.

"Don't worry, I won't put you in danger!"

Shikamaru heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Sakura said.

"What were you just talking about?

It's already this late, so stop playing dumb!"

Kiba had no idea what Sakura and Shikamaru meant and started complaining.

“Shino and the others are responsible for covering Naruto and the others’ tracks and providing support.

No matter how powerful they are, they can't travel faster.

So in order to ensure that the support team can arrive in time and not be caught up by the enemy reinforcements, someone must lead them away.

Therefore, the role we play in this mission is - bait! "

"what!"

Ya couldn't believe what he heard.

Neji had no complaints about being the bait. Hinata was now the only hope to break the bird out of the cage, and he would make sure that nothing would happen to Hinata even at the cost of his own life.

"Sakura, I hope you didn't forget our plan!"

Neji instructed Sakura with a serious look.

He had to prepare for the worst. If he died, the burden of breaking the caged bird plan would fall on Sakura's shoulders.

"Ningji, don't be so pessimistic.

Although the bait mission is dangerous, I will not watch you get eaten!"

Sakura's words made Neji, Kiba, and Shikamaru discover a blind spot:

Wait, “you guys”?

They had all thought that Sakura would also take on the role of bait with them, but...

Who could have thought that Sakura was so unsportsmanlike that not only did she let them be bait, she even stayed out of it!

Sakura noticed that the three people and the dog looked at her in a strange way, and she also knew what they were thinking, so she explained:

"I have more important things to confirm here, so I won't go with you.

These two syringes contain adrenaline, one for Shikamaru, one for you and one for Neji.

This is a type of stimulant that can temporarily and forcibly stimulate your body's potential.

But remember, the drug is only effective for half an hour, and you may feel tired, have a headache, feel dizzy, and feel anxious after the effect wears off.

But if you feel your heart is beating irregularly, you must immediately press your heart until it recovers.”

As Sakura said this, she threw two capsule-shaped syringes to Neji and Shikamaru, who had just experienced a fierce battle.

"Don't worry, not only will the enemy have reinforcements, but as long as you hold out long enough, Konoha will also have reinforcements arriving."

After Sakura gave them a few final words of advice, asking them not to put too much pressure on themselves, the three of them disappeared from the spot and began their mission as bait.

After watching everyone leave, Sakura looked towards the floor of the audience seats in the distance:

All that was seen was the ANBU uniform and mask that Tayuya had just taken off, still thrown there.
