Kakashi's POV

After parting from Kira, I hurried to start figuring out how to break the seal and prevent Orochimaru from sealing the 3rd with him alone.

"I reckon this explains why she was so keen on using her powers for a full day, not just during the battle," I muttered.

Taking a deep breath, I hoped for the best outcome.

...

Kira's POV

I really hope I can reach out to the Hokage directly, not just Kakashi sensei, but that would be too conspicuous.

Internally sighing, I looked to my side and saw Naruto completely engrossed in the battle ahead.

"I surrender," I heard Shikamaru say from his fight. I shook my head in disappointment. I should have anticipated that outcome.

"NO WAY! Seriously, Shikamaru! What in the world! You had it in the bag!" Naruto yelled out in frustration. Can't argue with that.

"This is getting troublesome," Shikamaru grumbled in irritation. I sighed. This guy...

"Okay, then. Temari takes the win!" The proctor declared. Kankurō grinned, while Gaara stayed unfazed.

"The next match is Uchida Kira vs Sabaku no Gaara!" the proctor announced. I felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Naruto turned to me, his determined grin urging me on. "I believe in you! Show him what you've got!" he cheered, and I nodded back with a smile.

"Does she really think she can take on Gaara? She's crazy," Kankurō remarked. I glanced at him and smirked. "Well, keep your eyes peeled then," I replied before heading to the battlefield, leaving him surprised and taken aback.

"Now, let the match begin!" the proctor announced before stepping aside. He's never done that before; I guess it's because of Gaara. I shrugged, not really bothered.

'Ready, Yuki?' I called out in my mind. 'Whenever you are, young lady,' she replied. 'Alright, lend me your strength' I said, swiftly removing my gloves and tucking them into my small ninja bag.

Gaara still hasn't made a move. I smirked; this is going to be interesting.

I dashed in front of Gaara, aiming to lock eyes with him, but his sand shield protected him. I reacted swiftly, freezing his sand shield in place, causing his eyes to widen in surprise, while the audience gasped in amazement.
