Once all the sigils met in a tight circle  both Naruto and Kakashi collapsed in exhaustion, the chains slowly disappearing and Sasuke calming down again as he seemingly also passed out.

Sakura, now left with all her teammates passed out, could only think of a way to protect them while they were out. In the hopes they would be well during a short leave, she hopped into the nearest tree and scouted the area for a nice vacant point. Once she spotted even ground with a big tree in the middle, that of which the roots were sticking out og the ground, creating a perfect cover, she quickly rushed back, picking up the first of her teammates and bringing him under the roots. Same went for all the others, until she was left changing the wet cloth on their heads every 30 minutes.

In the state that her team was, she hoped no one came after them, since, after all, she would not be able to fight a team alone. With a silent prayer and multiple set up traps, she continued to care for her unconscious teammates.

~ Time skip no jutsu ~

As the night came ever nigh, Sakura felt her resolve melt and dissolve, feeling drowsiness overtake her body. She shook her head quickly, getting the mere thought of sleep out of her system, she'd no need for something as benign as sleep. Especially if she risked her teammates through falling asleep. She wanted to prove that she was capable. Even if just a small contribute to the fact.

However, unbeknownst to her, three shadows hid in the dark, watching the girl with a smug look adorning their features. "Boss said to take the Uchiha." One mumbled to their leader, who nodded as he layed eyes on the raven.

"I'm guessing he likes the kid?" Another asked, looking to the one who hadn't yet spoken.

"I've heard a bit about the Uchiha. Apparently, they possess an eye prowess that allows them to enlighten themselves about any jutsu, see through it and even gives then the ability to copy the jutsu. In fact, it can do much more, but you'll have to gain more chakra, experience and strengh to be able to use more effective eyes. Right now, according to boss, the kid has a double tomoe sharingan. Luckily for us, that means, while he can see though our moves and jutsus, he cannot use any eye abilities like making things disappear into an unknown place, or burning you alive." The head explained, watching the pinklette caring for the boys, the raven in particular.

Seeing as how she was about to fall unconscious, he summoned a squirrel and put a kibaku fuda on its back, sending it off towards the girl. It crawled over, jumping slightly as it caught sight of a little nut on the ground and picked it up, nibbling on it. Once the nut was safely stored in its cheek, it was about to continue towards the girl, but she was aware and quickly threw her kunai right in front of it so it would change it's course.

The animal shrieked in fear and quickly went away, avoiding the grassy area. All three members of the team watched on in pure horror. Had the girl noticed their attempt at an attack? Why did she scare the squirrel away?

Seeing they had no other choice, they came out of hiding and landed before the girl's sanctuary. "Hmpf, can't believe I thought you saw through my attack." One snorted, grabbing at the patch of grass and ripping it away, revealing that there never was anything there in the first place. In fact, it had been a trap, a net neatly layed out underneath, possibly to be triggered by an unsuspecting person stepping onto it and getting caught up in the trap.

"Psh.. this is supposed to fool us? We're not some clueless shinobi, you know? We've trained in the sound Village under heavy training which sharpened our every sense. Even without special eye prowess, we are able to see through such simple trick." The female boasted, jutting her chin upwards and cooking her hip. She neatly yet firmly rested her hands on either side of her hip.

Sakura frowned, looking up at her. "Maybe you should work more than talk, you clearly have a big mouth." She retorted sassily, making the girl loose her confident stance in anger.

"I'll have you kno-!" But she didn't get to finish as one of her teammates threw a kunai in her direction, nearly missing her.

"She's not wrong. So far, all you've been good at is scoping out traps, no more." He berated her, making her sink down and grumble in frustration.

"Hmpf." She sulked, but went on to attack her anyways, surprised as she avoided her attack and managed to kick her away.

Suddenly, the obaka-trio, aka the ino-shika-cho trio popped out, and  stood before the girl, ready to assist her. Nor Shikamaru or Choji could be bothered to help the girl out, but they couldn't bear the thought of seeing their crush hurt, aka Naruto, so they, rather reluctantly, agreed.

"Who are these weaklings?" One asked.

"Especially that fat one, he looks useless." The other taunted, laughing about his own joke.

Choji's face darkened, a tick mark appearing on his face as he lowered his head. "I'm not fat, I'm pleasurably plump. I dare you to say it again." He replied, his voice low and menacing.

"What? That you're fat? GLADLY! YOU'RE A FAT, USELESS MEMBER OF THEIR TEAM!" He continued to taunt, at which choji had enough and immediately used his expanding jutsu to make himself into a perfectly round ball and started rolling towards the lousy male.
