Sasuke continued advancing through the labyrinth as several Acromantulas attempted to attack him, but he swiftly eliminated them. He raced forward at full speed, only to find himself at a dead end each time. He performed a few hand seals and summoned a small eagle to get a bird's-eye view. In that moment, he heard Fleur's screams not far away.

He ran toward the screams and, upon arrival, was confused to see that Fleur was out of danger but unconscious. By her position, he deduced that she had been attacked from behind. He drew his wand and shot red sparks into the sky to signal for help.

After casting the sparks, he retreated from the area. After running for a few minutes, he sensed someone's presence in the shadows, and that someone was Viktor Krum.

He closed his eyes to feel Krum's presence and determine his exact location. Krum, from the shadows, aimed his wand at Sasuke and shouted, CRUCIO!

Sasuke's body fell to the ground and exploded, creating a small cloud of smoke that, when dissipated, revealed an Acromantula.

Sasuke appeared behind Krum, grabbing both of his arms and beginning to twist them.

Sasuke: Why did you cast an Unforgivable Curse on me? Are you so desperate to win?

Krum said nothing. Sasuke twisted his arms tighter, but Krum remained silent, not even groaning in pain.

Sasuke restrained both of Krum's arms and walked until they were face to face. He looked closely at Krum's face and realized he was under the Imperius Curse.

Deciding to knock him out, he reached for his wand to cast sparks, but before he could, a spell was shot in his direction, and he quickly dodged.

Sasuke: So it was you who cast the Imperius Curse on Krum, Professor Moody.

Moody: You deduced that very quickly. You really are a clever boy.

Sasuke: Why did you do this?

Moody: The only thing you need to know is that you will die here and now.

Sasuke and Moody began casting spells. While one blocked, the other dodged. During the battle, Sasuke contemplated why Moody was doing this.

Sasuke: Why are you so desperate for Potter to win?

Moody showed an expression of anger, and Sasuke knew he had hit the mark. He increased the speed of his attacks while closing in, dodging Moody's spells. He attacked Moody with both spells and physical strikes.

Sasuke: It seems your magical eye can't keep up with my speed.

Irritated, Moody aimed his wand at Sasuke and cast a spell but quickly changed targets and pointed it at Krum.

Sasuke: Damn.

Sasuke intervened quickly to protect Krum, taking the spell himself and ending up with a wound on his back.

Seeing that he had hit Sasuke, Moody cast Avada Kedavra, but Sasuke managed to dodge in time, holding Krum to shield him.

Sasuke: You leave me no options. Since you want to kill me, I won't hold back anymore. He said seriously, casting a smoke bomb to block Moody's line of sight.

Moody: You're very foolish. My magical eye allows me to see through things, including invisibility cloaks.

Using his magical eye, Moody was surprised to see five Uchihas. They attacked him simultaneously, but he quickly cast an explosive spell around him. The clones vanished, and Sasuke appeared behind Moody to strike him.

Moody: DO YOU REALLY THINK I DIDN'T SEE YOU? he shouted, turning around and casting Avada Kedavra at Sasuke, who disappeared.

Moody began to feel intense pain. Sasuke had appeared behind him and connected a Rasengan to Moody's back, which, after a few seconds, sent him flying and left him unconscious.

Sasuke: Right behind you, idiot. He said, shooting red sparks into the sky before continuing to run through the labyrinth, as he had already lost too much time.

Sasuke ran and was surprised to notice that the dead ends he had encountered earlier now had exits. He understood that Moody had been blocking the exits to delay him.

He whistled for the small eagle he had summoned earlier to return. It landed on his arm, and he used his Sharingan to view the labyrinth from the eagle's perspective. He saw that about 40 meters away, there was a cup in the center of the labyrinth. He made the eagle disappear and ran toward the cup.

As he sped through, he suddenly encountered a Sphinx. Upon seeing him, the Sphinx sat down in the middle of the path.

Sphinx: To continue, you must solve my riddle. If you answer correctly on the first try, I will let you pass. If you answer incorrectly, I will attack you. First, think of the place reserved for sacrifices, no matter what temple it may be. Then tell me what withers in winter and blooms again in spring...

But she didn't finish because a purple aura enveloped Sasuke, and a skeletal arm struck her with such force that the Sphinx was sent flying.

Sasuke: I don't have time for this.

He continued running, and as he approached the center, he saw Harry running toward the cup. Sasuke channeled a large amount of chakra into his feet and sprinted at full speed, quickly reaching his goal and grabbing the cup at the same time as Harry, who was startled by Sasuke's sudden appearance.
