Temari VS Sakura

"For the next match, Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara of the sand pls make your way to the arena." Genma called. I was not to be found. Genma called again. Everyone in the audience started murmuring. Kakashi looked at Naruto & Sakura. They both shook their heads. On the Hokage's platform, "Looks like Sasuke isn't here yet," Kazekage (Orochimaru) said. "This is a problem indeed…" Hiruzen said. The Kazekage then said "I'd wish to see their match." Hiruzen stared at the ground following which he turned towards Raidō.

"Looks like Sasuke is absent." Genma murmured as he stared at Gaara standing in the arena. At that time, Raidō appeared next to Genma and whispered a few words in his ears. "I see" Genma murmured. Some people in the crowd started to Boo upon not seeing Sasuke on the ground. "THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE ORDER OF MATCHUPS. Since the Contestants of the battles have not appeared yet, we will start with the remaining matchups." Genma announced. The remaining crowd around the stadium started to applaud.

Genma then called the next contestants "Kankurō of the Hidden Sand and Aburame Shino of the Hidden Leaf please make your way to the arena". Kankuro raised his hands and said "I forfeit".

Meanwhile I was planting wood clones all around the village. I captured some of the members of the root and controlled them using the sharingan and planted some transmitter seeds and infiltrated the root to collect evidence on Danzo. Then I made my way towards the stadium.

In the arena, The crowd started booing. Genma shook his head and said "The next contestants Shikamaru Nara of leaf village and "Temari of the sand village please make tour way to the arena." Looking at both the contestants, Genma said, "Let the match BEGIN". The crowd cheered and the match started. Like in the anime, Shikamaru with his olanning skills cought Temari in his shadow and before he won, he forfeit the match. Genma gave Temari some time to rest before the next match.

I made it into the stadium right in time to hear Genma call "For the next match Sakura Haruno of the leaf village and Temari of the sand village please make your way into the arena." I wished Sakura good luck. and went to the viewing platform. Kakashi turned to me and asked "What were you doing? why are you this late?" With a mocking smile, I said "I had to help an old lady cross the road and there was a lot of traffic". Kakashi raised an eyebrow and said "Yeah right.. what were you doing exactly?"

I then became serious and said "Get ready for an attack Kakashi." Kakashi asked "WHAT? What attack?" I replied "I'm not sure, but I saw many ninjas disguised hiding and found out that many sand ninjas and sound ninjas have infiltrated the village. That's why I was late. Gathering Information". Kakashi asked seriously "Are you sure? What did you find out?" I just said "I'm not sure. My clones are still on the lookout. It's most probable that Orochimaru has planned something. But anyways, get ready for a fight."

Gai listening to us speak chimed in "We have to report this to the Hokage fast". I shook my head and said, "No Gai the Hokage is with the Kazekage. There are many Sand jonins and chunins that have infiltrated the village. The Kazekage must have planned something with Orochimaru. If you report now, they might attack immediately. It's better to let things take its track. I am just warning you to get ready if an attack does happen. And I also suspect so many anbus and someone in the village is in on it. Might be the elders. Otherwise, do you think so many shinobis can infiltrate the village?"

Kakashi and Gai started contemplating and Kakashi asked "What do we do? if the sand and sound attack, then it will be a great disaster." I answered "Just be ready Kakashi. I thought something like this might happen as i had doubts a few days back as I investigated Gekko Hayate's death and have already planned and took some actions if an attack occors. Dont worry rest assured and watch the match." Kakashi started contemplating on what to do. I looked at Naruto and nodded. Then Naruto left the stadium.

Then we heard Genma say "Let the match BEGIN". Sakurs and Temari took positions. Temari was already pissed of being played by Shikamaru. So she started attacking right away. She used 'Ninja Art-Wind scythe jutsu' and a small wind tornado approached Sakura. Sakura was calm as she did sone hand signs and muttered 'Earth Style-Mud wall' which blocked the wind scythe. Temari got iritated and swung her fan relentlessly, but Sakura with her speed and mud wall, just dodged or blocked her attacks.

Sakura then said "Lets end this shall we, Sasuke is already here and he will be mad if i make him wait long for his match". and started doing some hand signs. Temari frowned and Sakura finished the hand signs saying 'Earth style-Dark Swamp'. A huge boggy swamp was created with Temari in the middle and started swallowing her up. But Sakura didnt stop there. She released a high amount of chakra doing some hand sighs saying 'Earth Release-Earth Dragon Bomb'. A Mud dragon popped out from the land and fired several mud rockets at Temari. There was no way for her to block the attack while trapped in the mud swamp. So she was sent flying back and knocked onto the wall and was knocked out.

Genma checked on temari and said "Winner by Knockout Sakura Haruno Of The leaf village." The crowd started to cheer. Sakura jumped up and down and looked at me. I smiled and gave her a thumbs up. Then Genma announced "The next match is between Uchiha Sasuke of the leaf village and Gaara of the sand. Both contestants please make your way to the arena." There was a loud cheer from the crowd.
