[Episode title: Eternal Love and Protection: Sakura Blooms.]
"So that's the title of this episode." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "It makes some sense if you think about it. Especially considering what happened in the previous episode."
"Now Sakura is alone since her companions are injured." Thirteen said worriedly.
"Although the episode does have that name, that means that it will be able to shine and grow with respect to the previous episodes." Nejire said excited by this prospect.
"Nejire, I remind you that Orochimaru's ninja servants are still there and that they will most likely attack them." Amajiki said worriedly.
"Everything will be fine, I hope." Mirio said.
"Great what I was missing." Shigaraki said annoyed while scratching his neck.
All for One, for his part, smiles when he sees his apprentice upset. "That's Tomura. Focus on your hate."
[The episode begins and we see Sakura who was putting a wet cloth on Sasuke's forehead. A few minutes pass and Sakura was struggling not to fall asleep.]
The audience is worried when they see the state Sakura is in.
"You can tell that the poor thing hasn't had a minute to rest." Uraraka said worriedly when she saw her.
"With everything that has happened, it is not surprising." Yaoyorozu said. "And with Naruto and Sasuke in that state, she's the only one who can still do something if they attack them."
"And that you say it. We must not forget that Orochimaru's allies are still there, ribbit." Asui said worriedly as she remembered the sound ninjas. The rest of the audience tenses as they remember Orochimaru and his terrifying presence, as well as worrying about an attack by his followers on Team 7 under these conditions.
"If all they have is the girl, they're screwed." Spinner said.
Kushina, for her part, looks at the scene worried, although she relaxes when she remembers that both her son and his friends managed to survive.
Sakura: I can't fall asleep. I must protect them. [She looks at her companions, then closes her eyes and falls asleep.]
The audience is worried when they see that Sakura fell asleep, but they can't blame her either because they understand that she is exhausted after everything that has happened.
Naruto: Believe it! What a great nap.
Sakura: Naruto [Sasuke started to wake up too.] Sasuke.
The audience is shocked to see that Naruto and Sasuke woke up.
"Hey!? Have they woken up already!?" Komori exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh excellent! I had worried about them. I thought they would spend more time out of combat." Shiozaki said relieved.
"Thank goodness they are fine." Tsuntori said.
"No. There is something here that is not right." Aizawa said looking at the scene carefully. "I really doubt they would recover so quickly after that."
"You're right Shota." Present Mic said in agreement with his friend. "After what happened in the previous episode, I really find it hard to believe that they recovered so quickly. It's too good to be true."
Sasuke: Did you take care of us all this time?
Naruto: Thank you Sakura, we are better because of you.
Sakura: I'm glad you're okay. [A sound in the bushes made Sakura look in that direction seeing Orochimaru.]
The audience is very scared to see Orochimaru again. They feel again that paralyzing fear that they experienced in the previous episode. The children hug their mentors, terrified by the presence of Orochimaru, Eri and Katsuma cry from fear, while Kota and Mahoro, although terrified, try to hide it.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in terror.
"What is that guy doing there!?" Mineta exclaimed, terrified when he saw him. "And how is it possible that he is there!?"
"Can he also teleport or what!?" Kaminari exclaimed scared.
"Couldn't you pick a worse time to show up?!" Awase asked scared.
"Is there a good time for that guy to show up?" Tokage asked.
Orochimaru: Now you will see what it is like to be a prey running frantically and desperately from a predator. And that predator is me. [Orochimaru headed to where team seven was, turning into a snake, Sakura looked at her teammates to warn them, but her voice did not come out of her throat.]
Sakura: My voice is gone. Our voices are gone.
The audience feels great fear at seeing Orochimaru preparing to attack Team 7 and the fact that their voices cannot be heard.
"Ehh?! But how is this possible?!" Ashido asked confused and terrified.
"Yeah! How is it possible that they can't talk!?" Tokage exclaimed.
"Seriously, what the hell is going on?" Iida asked.
"Mh, I think it's just a dream. Miss Haruno must have fallen asleep without realizing it." Nezu thought, remembering how Sakura struggled not to fall asleep at the beginning of the episode.
[Sakura woke up seeing her companions who were still unconscious.]
Sakura: It was just a dream. [Sakura looked up] I can't believe it's daylight already.
The audience sighs in relief to see that it was just Sakura's nightmare and that Orochimaru wasn't really there.
"Thank goodness it was just a dream." Nejire said relieved.
"Good heavens! It really scared me!" Mineta exclaimed.
[A sound in some bushes scared Sakura and put her on alert, but it was revealed to be just a squirrel.]
"Again it was just a false alarm." Bondo said. "First the nightmare and now this."
"Thank goodness it was just a squirrel." Awase said relieved.
"Poor girl. She is in such an extreme situation that she must pay attention to everything since she does not know when they can attack her." Recovery Girl said.
"Oh, wow! Welcome to any day of our lives." Toga said, annoyed since she and her friends are constantly chased by the heroes and the police and must always be alert.
"It's what they get for being villains. If you don't like it, give in and make things easier for us." Vlad said much to the villains' annoyance.
"As if something like that were going to happen." Dabi said.
Sakura: A squirrel? Hey, don't surprise me like that, little friend. [Sakura got scared and threw a kunai at it. The squirrel left scared.] It was close.
"Ehhh?! Why's that?!" Tsuburaba exclaimed in surprise.
"Yeah! Why did he do that!?" Koda said. "That squirrel was no threat to her."
Zaku: I thought that would work. Do you think she saw the paper bomb that the squirrel was carrying?
The audience is shocked to see this. Several of them (Koda in particular) are upset to see what the sound ninjas did to the squirrel.
"How dare they do that to that poor animal!?" Koda exclaimed, extremely annoyed by that.
"That's really very cruel!" Mahoro said annoyed. "How can they put an explosive tag on that poor squirrel!?"
"There are really, really bad people." Mirio said annoyed. "Although being followers of a guy like Orochimaru, it doesn't surprise me." The rest of the audience nods in agreement.
Kushina looks with disgust at the sound ninjas for daring to do something like that, using an animal in that way is truly a cruel and disgusting act.
Dosu: No, it wasn't that.
Zaku: So what was it? What are you talking about?
Dosu: I think we should get closer and find out so... let's go.
"Oh no!" Several worried people exclaimed.
"They are going to attack her!" Ashido exclaimed worried.
"Although Sakura didn't see the squirrel's explosive tag, so why did she scare her?" Shishida asked.
"I have no idea." Kendo said confused by this fact. "Although she must have had some reason to do it."
[Elsewhere Lee is jumping on tree branches. He notices some leaves falling which makes his eyes shine with determination.]
Lee: Let's see, if I can catch the twenty leaves of that tree before they hit the ground then Sakura will fall in love with me. But if I can't then she will never reciprocate. This is the challenge I will set for myself.
"I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but oh well." Mr. Compress said.
"I really don't understand your reasoning." Ashido said. "Do you really think she would fall in love with you because of that?"
"Apparently so." Hagakure said.
"Could he really catch all those leaves?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"I guess we'll see, although I think it might." Kirishima said.
Sakura: Those eyebrows are very thick, you are a phenomenon.
Lee: I can't believe she said that [Lee has tears in his eyes and then they burst into flames.] I'll show him that I'm worthy. [Lee started to catch all the leaves] Yes, I'm going to catch them all! [Collides with a tree branch.]
The audience grimaces in pain as Lee crashes into the tree branch.
"Ouch, I really felt that." Kirishima said making a face.
"That must have hurt a lot." Shigaraki said smiling.
"Wow boss, since we got here you haven't stopped making enemies. First Tony Stark, then Ino and Sakura and now this boy and his sensei." Dabi said.
"Shut up! Do I need to remind you of Thor?!" Shigaraki responded annoyed.
"The strangest thing of all is that he does it to impress that girl." Bondo said surprised. "Even though she was so rude to him."
"Well that's love. It totally blinds you." La Brava said.
Lee: One more. [Lee was about to catch the blade, but turned his face to the side.] What is that? [Sees a squirrel with fire on its back.]
"That's the squirrel from before." Amajiki said.
"Poor dear." Eri said saddened to see the squirrel in that state, Mirio hugs her to comfort her.
[Lee picks up the squirrel and takes the paper off his back.]
Lee: Aaah just in time. [Crushes the paper with his hand] The paper bomb explodes in a certain time. Who would do such a bad thing?
The audience sighs in relief when they see that Lee saved the squirrel by removing the explosive tag.
"Oh thank goodness!" Katsuma said, happy to see that the squirrel is safe.
"I'm glad to see Lee saved that squirrel." Koda said happily seeing this. "Although in answer to your question, only someone very cruel would do such a thing." He said annoyed at what the sound ninjas had done, to which the rest of the audience nodded in agreement.
Midoriya, for his part, is happy to see that Lee saved the squirrel, since for him all lives have value.
[Elsewhere Neji walks through the forest but stops when he notices something.]
Neji: Enough, stop hiding and show up. [Team ten, who was hiding behind some bushes, gets scared when they hear this.]
"And there's Lee's teammate." Fukidashi said.
"Oh oh. It seems that team 10 is in trouble." Toga said, excited by the idea of seeing a fight between the two.
"With those eyes you won't be able to hide from him." Yaoyorozu said, remembering what has been seen so far of the Byakugan.
"Although on the other hand, there are 3 of them and he is only one." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "But according to Lee, Neji is stronger than him. I'm really not sure who would win."
"It's true. So far we haven't seen much of their abilities, so it's hard to say who would win." Iida said thoughtfully.
Ino: Damn, how could he see us? We hide quickly.
"With his Byakugan." Shinso said. "Although I don't know if she knows he has that ability or what he does."
"It seems like she doesn't know." Shishida said. "Although considering that ninjas hide their abilities, it shouldn't be that surprising either."
Shikamaru: How lazy. Now that he's found out about us, this will have to be very painful.
"That boy…" Ectoplasm said looking at him.
"The pineapple head is lazy." Bakugo said annoyed by Shikamaru's attitude.
Ino: No problem. Our "hide and trap" strategy failed, so... we have to use plan two.
Choji: What? Is it serious Ino?
Ino: Does it cause any conflict for you? Trust me. This plan cannot fail.
Shikamaru: Well... what can we lose?
"I asked me what that plan would be?" Ojiro said.
"No idea, but seeing that boy's reaction it's probably fighting with Neji." Sato said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, maybe it's ambushing him or something." Iida said thoughtfully.
Ino: Whao what a surprise to see last year's number one rookie, Neji Hyuga, here.
Shikamaru: Can I have your autograph?
The audience is left in disbelieving shock upon seeing this.
"Is seriously!? Your plan is this?!" Kuroiro exclaimed in surprise.
"It is certainly a foolish plan." Asui said.
"Are they asking for an autograph!?" Kota said surprised.
"Maybe it's a strategy to unnerve him and attack him when he's off guard." Melissa theorized.
"Could be." Yaoyorozu said.
Neji: It's you.
Ino: Yes. Plan two in which you are going to drool when you fall in love with my beauty. Hello handsome, I've been waiting for a while Neji so hello.
"So that was the plan." Monoma said. "You really couldn't have thought of anything worse?"
"It's actually not such a bad idea." Ashido said. "On some men something like that would work, or why do you think Naruto uses the sexy jutsu?"
"And of course someone from class A…" Monoma was going to continue but Kendo silenced him with a blow.
"Though that guy doesn't seem like the kind of person something like that would work on." Yanagi said thoughtfully.
[Neji tells him to get lost and leaves.]
"Indeed. He just ignored them." Asui said.
"He doesn't even show interest in fighting them." Shoji said.
"Maybe he saw with his Byakugan that the scroll they have is not the one he needs and he doesn't want to waste his time with them." Bakugo said.
"That might be possible." Iida said.
Ino:[Angry] What?! He should be in love with my sensuality. Because I did not work? Wow this makes me so angry I could hit someone. [She punches the air with her fists, Neji stopped when he saw it.]
Neji: You're shaking your fists. Does that mean you want to fight?
"How did you see that? Yes, he didn't even turn around." Bondo asked surprised.
"Does the Byakugan also allow him to see that way?!" Kendo asked in surprise.
"But who is this guy? Mad-eye Moody?" Sero asked surprised. This comment surprises the audience who turn to look at him. "What?"
"Did you just make a Harry Potter reference?" Iida asked surprised.
"That? Oh yeah. I really like those movies a lot. Even though they are from the pre-Quirk era, they are very good." Sero said.
"I prefer the books, but the movies aren't bad." Yaoyorozu said.
"I should add Harry Potter to my list of things from the pre-Quirk era that I should see." Midoriya said.
"It's a very good idea Deku-kun!" Said Uraraka, who is also interested in watching Harry Potter, as are several in the audience.
Ino: Oh no. Not Neji. Of course not.
Neji: Get out. If I stole their scroll from a bunch of cowardly fools like you, you'd all laugh at me for doing it.
Ino: Good for me. [The three ran out of there.]
Neji: They disappeared like cockroaches.
"They didn't even hesitate to flee." Tetsutetsu said.
"What a disappointment." Bakugo said as he wanted to see a fight. "But I guess that guy is right, it would be stupid to fight with those cowards."
[In another part of the forest was team ten breathing heavily.]
Shikamaru: As I thought. Someone like him wouldn't take the scroll from someone like us unless we had attacked him.
The audience is surprised to see this, as they did not expect Shikamaru to make such an analysis.
"I suspected it, but I think I was right. That boy is much smarter than he lets on. Is that your strategy? Unnoticed?"Nezu thought.
"Not quite but good." Felicity thought.
Ino: That's it! Let's see if we can find some weaklings.
Shikamaru: Well... I asked me if there is someone weaker than us.
"I really doubt it." Bakugo said.
"Actually, there is someone weaker." Midoriya said worried. "Team 7 right now is much weaker, especially with the state of Naruto and Sasuke." The audience worries as they remember this.
"Oh shit!" Several worried people said.
"As if they didn't have enough problems already." Jiro said worriedly as she remembered the sound ninjas.
[Elsewhere, Sakura was still trying not to fall asleep.]
Sakura: Someone's watching, you're half asleep. [Sakura turned and looked at the sound ninjas]
Dosu: At least you won't have to keep watching. What's your case when we already find them? Now wake up Sasuke we want to fight him.
The audience gets tense seeing this.
"Oh oh!" Several people exclaimed, scared when they saw what was happening on the screen.
"This is really bad! They are going to attack them!" Katsuma exclaimed scared.
"Do you want to fight with emo? Didn't you see that he is unconscious?! Bakugo exclaimed, annoyed with the sound ninjas.
"But what do they want? That they fought with them in that state?" Natsuo said surprised by this.
"That's not manly at all!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu exclaimed in unison.
Sakura: You idiots would never defeat him. [Sakura moved her hand closer to her weapon holder and stood up from the ground] What are you looking for here? But what are they really looking for? I already know that Orochimaru handles the situation from the shadows! [The sound ninjas are surprised to hear this.]
"That's actually a good question." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "If Orochimaru wants Sasuke to pass the exam, why does he send his subordinates to attack them?"
"Now that you mention it, it's strange." Uraraka said. "Especially considering those three seem quite surprised."
"Although coming from that guy, I wouldn't be surprised if he's using them for something and hasn't told them his plan." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully.
"It is indeed a good theory, young Yaoyorozu." Nezu said, tense as he remembered Orochimaru and the fact that he is pulling the strings from the shadows.
"You guys are idiots for following that guy." Bakugo said annoyed with the sound ninjas.
Sakura: What strange bruise does Sasuke have on his neck? Are you behind this too? Now that he can't defend himself they want to fight him.
"That's a good question too." Midoriya said with interest. "I really want to know more about that mark that Orochimaru put on Sasuke."
"We all want to know more about that." Recovery Girl said worried about Sasuke.
"Those guys are cowards!" Bakugo exclaimed, annoyed with the sound ninjas for wanting to attack Sasuke when he is unconscious.
"You're right Bakubro! "That's not manly at all!" Kirishima exclaimed.
Dosu: What the hell would he be thinking? [Sakura looks at them confused]
Zaku: I can't sit around doing nothing after you talked to us like that first I'm going to kill the girl and then I'm going to kill Sasuke.
The audience tenses upon seeing this and worries for Team 7's safety.
Dosu: Wait, Zaku.
Zaku: What? Because?
Dosu: It's very obvious. [Takes a step forward, bending down to touch the ground.] This color of soil does not have that which has been recently disturbed and these types of herbs do not grow in a place like this. [Sakura looked at him surprised] You know if you plan to set a trap, there's no point if you don't hide it well.
The audience is shocked to see this.
"Oh, that explains a lot." Iida said thoughtfully.
"Yes, now I understand why she scare the squirrel." Koda said a little calmer when he saw what Sakura's reason was for doing what she did. "She didn't want the squirrel to fall into her trap."
"Although when did she put it in?" Tsuntori asked confused by this fact.
"No idea." Tokage replied.
"Although on the other hand it didn't help him much." Midnight said worriedly. "Those guys picked it up almost immediately." The rest of the audience worries about Team 7.
Zaku: You make me laugh. You threw your kunai to prevent the squirrel from falling into your trap, huh?
Dosu: Now we will kill her. [The three jumped to attack Sakura. Although she smiled, taking out a kunai and cutting a thread to release a log.] She also set a trap above! Careful!
The audience is surprised to see that Sakura had not set just one trap, but had set two. The teachers and professional heroes admire Sakura's intelligence for this action.
"Incredible!" Katsuma exclaimed.
"She set a second trap." Yaoyorozu said surprised. "Maybe that was her plan from the beginning. Set the first trap as a decoy, and the second as her true plan."
"If so, it was certainly something brilliant." Hawks said. "I don't know when she set the traps, but she certainly did a good job."
Dosu: Nice try [Touchs the tree trunk, destroying it to Sakura's surprise.] Better luck next time.
"Oh oh." Several people say worried when they see this.
"Although her plan was good, it was of no use to her. That guy destroyed the trunk like it was nothing." Ashido said.
Dosu: You clearly have no ninja talent. Someone like you needs to try harder. Don't you think?
"That guy is right." Shigaraki said annoyed while scratching his neck. "That brat is useless and a burden to others."
"Hey!" Nejire exclaimed annoyed. "She may not be as strong as Sasuke or Naruto, but she's still learning!"
"Yeah! She can still grow and improve! And surely one day it will be very strong!" Ashido exclaimed.
"Yes of course." Said Shigaraki, who highly doubts that something like this is possible. He may not hate Sakura like he hates All Might and Tony Stark, but he still finds her annoying and irritating.
"I already want to see your face when you see how strong Sakura will become." Felicity thought amused as she imagined it.
[Lee appears out of nowhere and attacks the Sound ninjas]
The audience is very happy to see Lee enter the scene.
"Oh yeah! Rock Lee is here baby!" Hatsume exclaims, causing several (Jiro in particular) to cover their ears. "Ups, I'm sorry."
"Hatsume, you really have to learn to control yourself or one day you'll end up making us all deaf." Power Loader said.
"Don't worry girl. I really understand you." Kushina said.
"But on the other hand, what a manly and heroic entrance Rock Lee just made!" Kirishima exclaimed excitedly.
"Wow yes!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed in agreement.
"Excellent! Now he can save Sakura!" Eri exclaimed.
"Kick those villains' asses!" Bakugo exclaimed to the annoyance of the villains.
Sakura: What? What are you doing here?
Lee: Looks like you guys need to try harder too. [Lee stands on the ground in front of Sakura, with the squirrel on his shoulder.]
Dosu: Who are you?
Lee: I am the most handsome handsome man in the leaf village, my name is Rock Lee.
Sakura: What... What are you doing here Lee?
Lee: I will always show up whenever and wherever you are in trouble, Sakura
"What a great presentation! He is a very impressive and manly man!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed excitedly.
"He is someone very manly!" Kirishima said in agreement with his friend.
"It's incredible how despite everything he went to rescue her without hesitation." Gentle said somewhat impressed with this.
"That is the love." La Brava said. "There is nothing you wouldn't do for someone you love, no matter what."
Lee: This is all thanks to you little friend, but now it's time for you to run away. [Lee put the squirrel on the ground.]
"How manly!" Kirishima and Tetsutetsu exclaimed excitedly.
"It's nice to see someone who cares about animals." Koda said happy at this fact.
"That boy could be a great hero." All Might said. "He shows concern even for the animals. That's a great trait."
"You're right All Might." Midoriya said. "Just what you would expect from someone like All Might, for him all lives have value."
Even Spinner gets a little excited when he sees this attitude from Lee and All Might and is beginning to consider Lee a true hero, for coming to Sakura's rescue even though she was rude to him before and worrying about the squirrel.
Sakura: Hey, now in this exam I'm your enemy.
"I wouldn't say that if I were you." Ashido said.
"He came to rescue you despite everything! You should at least show a little gratitude!" Nejire exclaimed.
"You should thank him! You should insult him and attack him!" Twice said.
Lee: Sakura, I already told you. I will protect you until I die.
"Oh, wow! That's a real man!" Kirishima exclaimed, excited and impressed when he saw how manly and heroic Lee is.
"And you say it! You rarely see someone so manly!" Tetsutetsu exclaimed equally excited.
"Even though Sakura was rude to him before he still wants to protect her." Tiger said, somewhat surprised by this.
"What heroic conduct!" All Might said proud of Lee. "That boy is someone admirable."
"How I wish I had a boyfriend like that!" Hagakure exclaimed.
"Hey, if you're interested, I'm single." Mineta said, earning him a glare from Hagakure and a flick of Asui's tongue.
[Sakura remembers the proposal that Lee made to her earlier, to be his girlfriend.]
Sakura: Yes... thanks Rock Lee.
"S…she accepted." Asui said, somewhat surprised by this fact.
"Well, after something like this it doesn't surprise me." Ashido said excitedly. "If it weren't for the fact that I have someone else, I would also want to be his girlfriend." She said blushing as she thought about Eijiro.
"This isn't the time for that, though." Aizawa said sternly.
Lee: Yes! She said yes! [Lee cries with joy] Guy-sensei said yes!
Some people in the audience are very excited to see this, and they are happy for Lee.
Dosu: Apparently I have no choice. Zaku, I'll let you take care of Sasuke [Hands the scroll to Zaku] Leave those two to me.
Lee: It doesn't look like Sakura is in any condition to face a battle.
"Unfortunately you are correct." Recovery Girl said worriedly. "Sakura spent the entire night taking care of her teammates and barely got any rest."
"Thank goodness Lee is here." Mandalay said. "Although I'm not entirely sure how this is going to end."
"What do you think Deku-kun?" Uraraka asked.
"It's really complicated." Midoriya said thoughtfully. "From what we could see of Lee, he is someone strong enough to defeat Sasuke even with the Sharingan, but those sound ninjas outnumber him, and from what we saw when they attacked Kabuto, they are quite skilled and have abilities based on the sound, and added to the fact that Sakura can't fight... I'd say it's complicated."
"Yes you're right." Nezu said thoughtfully. "And considering that those guys are followers of Orochimaru…" He shiveres as he remembers Orochimaru. "...It wouldn't be surprising if they have horrible abilities." The rest of the audience gets worried thinking about this.
"Damn!" Bakugo said frustrated.
Dosu: That boy with the bushy eyebrows is very good at Taijutsu. I think I'll have some fun. [Runs towards Lee, Sakura threw a kunai at him, but Dosu jumped up. Lee stuck his hand under the ground and pulled out the trunk of a tree and threw it at Dozu, pushing him away]
Lee: There's surely a trick to your attack so... I won't waste time evading it. After all, I had already seen your Jutsu.
"Oh, it's true. When they attacked Kabuto they left their technique exposed, although not completely." Iida said.
"We know that Kabuto was attacked with a technique that had a trick, which is most likely related to sound, but we still don't know all the details." Said Yaoyorozu, while trying to think of a strategy against the sound ninjas. "The best thing for the moment would be to avoid it."
"Yes, you are right Yaomomo." Asui said, scared as she remembered how the attack affected Kabuto.
Sakura: Wow! So rude.
Lee: I must admit that my odds are not good because they are three to one, but I will still accept the challenge. One by one, I will attack them with my power.
"I really want to see what kind of skills Lee has." Midoriya said interested.
"Likewise." Kirishima said excitedly. "He must surely have very manly and incredible techniques and skills."
"He is surely someone very strong, although I want to see how strong." Tetsutetsu said.
"Although he is not wrong about being at a disadvantage." Midnight said worriedly.
"It really reminds me of someone right now." Recovery Girl said looking at All Might and Midoriya.
"Let's hope he's okay." Eri said worried about Lee.
[Elsewhere, Shikamaru and Ino are discussing what to do next while Choji eats.]
Ino: Wow, there doesn't seem to be anyone weaker than us here.
Shikamaru: Not so fast. I still believe that Naruto's team is even weaker.
Ino: [Annoyed] Dude, back off right now.
Shikamaru: What are you talking about?
Ino: There's no doubt that Naruto and Sakura are pathetic, but I don't want to criticize Sasuke. He's amazing.
Shikamaru: Yes, whatever, maybe your beloved Sasuke is better in theory than in practice [Shikamaru sees that Ino was angry and a drop of sweat appears on the back of her neck] Well, I'm sorry if I made you angry. How boring I say one negative thing about Sasuke and his number one fan wants to kill me with her eyes.
The audience is somewhat embarrassed as they notice this exchange, while some laugh.
"And of course the brat had to say something like that." Shigaraki said annoyed.
"Those girls are really obsessed with that boy." Spinner said.
"Ino and Sakura really compete for who is Sasuke's number one fan." Bondo said.
"Ugh! It's so unfair! Emo is not that cool! I am much better than him!" Jealous Mineta screeched.
"You'll never really understand." Asui said, already annoyed by this attitude of Mineta.
"Though at least Shikamaru seems to know how to react to her." Midoriya said.
Ino: There's no way Sasuke will lose the battle, but Sakura is another story.
"I wouldn't be so sure, but oh well." Shoji said. "Especially considering his encounter with Lee and Orochimaru."
"Although you are not wrong in saying that the brat is weak." Shigaraki said. "At least this brat seems to have interesting abilities, but the other one doesn't."
"You're right Tomura." All for One said in agreement with his disciple and interested in Ino's abilities.
"Power is not everything! Sakura will one day grow up and be stronger!" Nejire exclaimed.
"But for that she must first survive today." Dabi said.
Choji: Hey, someone attacked Sasuke. And Sakura is fighting.
Ino: What did you say?! [Ino and Shikamaru jumped to the tree where Choji was, and Ino is surprised by what she sees.]
The audience is surprised to see this scene and wonder what Team 10 is seeing.
"I asked me if they are also going to get involved in the fight?" Midoriya thought.
[Tenten and Neji, seeing that Lee did not arrive as they had previously agreed, decide to go out to look for him.]
"Well, they also realized that something is happening." Ojiro said.
"And now they will go look for their partner." Yanagi said. "Maybe we'll see them in action too."
"I wondered what kind of abilities they will have." Midoriya said with interest. "We know that Neji has a Byakugan, but we haven't seen it in combat yet, and we don't know anything about the girl either. I really wish…" Midoriya was interrupted.
"Enough Deku! That is irritating and annoying!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.
"And strange." Kaminari said.
"I'm sorry." Midoriya apologized.
[We see a flashback of Team Guy training.]
Lee: Yes I did! [Lee split a tree trunk in half, jumping for joy at having done it] I finally perfected my Jutsu!
Guy: Enough rest. You waste your youth. [Lee and Tenten looked very tired] This Jutsu is the end. Only Lee could do it.
The audience is surprised to see how Lee managed to split the log, and what Guy's training is like.
"Oh wow, that training must be very hard if the other two are in that condition." Recovery Girl said as she saw Neji and Tenten.
"Definitely." Present Mic said, also remembering how Guy wanted Lee to do 500 laps as punishment. "That Guy must be someone very tough."
"And they both have a lot of energy too." Snipe said as he saw Lee and Guy. "They don't even look tired."
"It's good to see young Lee so happy." All Might said happy to see how happy he is to have been able to perfect his jutsu.
Lee: I did it, I finally did it...
Guy: Lee.
Lee: After so much practice...
Guy: Lee.
Lee: I made it, I think if I try hard enough...
Guy: LEE!
Lee: I can do anything! Whao I really did it!
"Wow, he's excited." Present Mic said.
"So much so that he doesn't even listen to his sensei." Cementoss said.
Guy: Enough already. [Punches him in the face] Now listen to a super whao message from your sensei.
Lee: Yes, I am ready to hear your wonderful wisdom, sir. [Tenten looks at them with a surprised expression, while Neji is serious.]
"They really are very rare." Kaminari said upon seeing Lee and Guy.
"He admires his sensei a lot." Midoriya said, interested to see what Guy has to say.
"It's like Deku but weirder." Bakugo said, to which some nod in agreement.
Guy: This new Jutsu, the Lotus technique, is prohibited [Lee is surprised to hear it, as are Neji and Tenten.]
Lee: What do you mean? Why?
"Ehh?! But why would I show him that if it is prohibited?" Iida asked surprised.
"If that jutsu is prohibited, it means that it is a very dangerous technique." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully. "And seeing what he did to that log, I'm not surprised that's the case."
"As for why he would teach him that technique, he must have some reason for that." All Might said. "Guy isn't like Orochimaru, so he must have had some good reason to teach him that."
"I hope you are right." Aizawa said.
Guy: This Jutsu puts all the muscles in your body under great tension. It is a technique of self-sacrifice. Normally, humans use at most twenty percent of the strength of our muscles, do you understand? Only twenty percent. If we used all the power, the muscles could disintegrate. [An image is seen illustrating Guy's words.] So, the brain regulates the force that the muscles can exert. but this Jutsu is different. It uses Chakra that forces the brain to exceed its limits, allowing for continuous and rapid Taijutsu. In other words, this Jutsu is based on a secret technique that generates a power that almost reaches the physical limits of man. And as you will see it is very dangerous.
"Oh I see." Nezu said thoughtfully. "So that's why that technique is prohibited. Despite its power, it is highly destructive to the user."
"That was actually a very good explanation." Yaoyorozu said. "Simple to understand and informative."
"You're right Yaomomo. That was really easy to understand." Ashido said. Meanwhile Midoriya writes down Guy's explanation in his notebook.
"You will see more about this technique later, but for now this explanation will suffice." Felicity said.
"Oh what a great song! "It really fits this scene very well." Jiro said excitedly.
Guy: There is a time when this Jutsu could be used. When a particular circumstance appears.
Lee: Yes I understand. And when will it be, sir?
Guy: Are you ready? Everyone learn it by heart, the circumstance is...
[In the present Neji remembers these words from his sensei]
"Ehh?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise.
"B…but what is the circumstance?" Kaminari asked.
"I think I know, but you better see it." Nezu thought as he drank some tea.
[Lee was untying the bandages on his arms.]
The audience (Midoriya in particular) tenses up watching this scene.
Lee: Guy-sensei I have to use the Lotus now. The condition has appeared. I must use this Jutsu. [Dosu started running towards Lee, meanwhile Lee made a hand seal.] Protecting the life of someone dear. [Lee disappeared before Dosu's surprised gaze.]
Dosu: Disappeared. [Lee kicked Dosu in the chin, sending him into the air.]
"Oh so that's the circumstance." Midoriya said. "There is no other circumstance better than that." He said remembering how he had saved Kota from Muscular, even if it meant getting permanent wounds on his arms. The rest of the audience nods in agreement.
"Save her Mr. Lee." Eri said.
Lee: Not yet [Lee appeared behind Dosu, covering his body with bandages and immobilizing his enemy.]
Zaku: Oh no, Dosu. There is no way to stop his fall.
Lee: Take this, Primary Lotus. [Spins in the air. Zaku buried his hands in the ground. Lee threw Dosu to the ground and jumped in another direction.]
"I…incredible." Shoji said surprised by what he saw on the screen.
"That was amazing!" Eri and Katsuma exclaimed excitedly. Mahoro and Kota are impressed, but they try to hide it.
"It really was." Midoriya said, while taking notes in his notebook. "His speed and technique are really impressive."
"It really is." Iida said impressed. "The speed of the people of this world is really impressive."
"And you haven't even seen him without the weights."Felicity thought, amused at imagining her audience's reaction when they saw it.
"Guy has become an excellent teacher." Kushina thought.
Lee: How does it feel? [Sakura looks at him happily.]
Zaku: I caught you in time. [Dosu's head was in a hole that Zaku had created] That impact could have been much worse for you. [Lee is surprised to see that his technique didn't do anything to him.]
Dosu: That is a terrifying Jutsu. He almost defeated me even though I fell on this soft land. [Lee stood up from the ground breathing heavily.]
"Oh shit!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.
"This is really bad! His partner managed to rescue him." Tokage said annoyed by this. Midoriya, for his part, takes notes on Zaku's abilities.
"Although that guy is not wrong, that jutsu really is terrifying." Spinner said.
Dosu: Now it's my turn. [He rolls up his sleeve, revealing a strange contraption on his arm.]
Lee: Oh no. My body has not yet recovered from that Jutsu. [Dosu approached Lee, but Lee dodged it, although the attack still affected him.]
Sakura: No, Lee.
Dosu: Your Jutsu is really fast [Lee's vision began to blur] But ours is even faster, because it travels at the speed of sound. [Lee fell to his knees and vomited.] It won't do you any good to try hard. Now come let's show you something called "the wall".
The audience gets very scared when they see what is happening on the screen.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.
"Th...that jutsu..." Uraraka said scared. "It's the same one he used against Kabuto."
"This is getting worse and worse." Komori said scared. "Now both Lee and Team 7 are in danger."
"Oh shit! This is very bad!" Tsuntori exclaimed.
"Ha! Well said!" Monoma exclaimed, which earned her a Kendo hit, annoyed that Monoma taught those things to her classmate.
"That music makes this moment even more disturbing." Jiro said.
Sakura: What's wrong? [Lee's ears started to bleed and he complains about the pain.]
The audience is horrified as Lee's ears bleed and he screams in pain.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed, scared when they saw this.
"B…but what the hell is happening to him!?" Awase exclaimed scared.
"What kind of horrible technique is that?!" Mineta exclaimed in terror.
"Thinking that it has something to do with sound." Jiro thought in anguish as she saw how well these ninjas have abilities to a certain extent similar to hers, but they are using them for evil purposes.
Dosu: Aaah, I forgot to mention this little accessory I use. [Shows him his arm] Maybe you can evade my blows, but you can't escape this.
"So he uses that device whatever it is to perform his jutsu." Midoriya said while drawing the object in his notebook.
"He's certainly an interesting baby." Hatsume said interested when she saw him. "I hope to see more about this baby."
Sakura: Now what trick will he pull up his sleeve?
"A horrible one without a doubt." Mineta said scared.
Dosu: I don't need to hit you with my fists. I can hit you with the power of sound.
Lee: Sound?
Dosu: What makes it possible for your ear to hear? What actually is sound?
"Vibrations." Jiro said surprised upon hearing this. "Oh I understand. That device you have may amplify sound allowing you to use it as a weapon. Like with my speakers."
"It may be so." Yaoyorozu said thoughtfully.
"Yes, that would also explain Lee's injuries." Recovery Girl said worried about the boy. Jiro also feels uncomfortable about this fact.
"And you couldn't avoid it by simply covering your ears?" Kaminari asked.
"He can, but it would be useless, since sonic waves can be transmitted through their body." Jiro explained.
"Oh, wow. This is really bad." Ashido said worriedly.
Sakura: Vibrations.
"It seems that Sakura knows it too." Yanagi said.
"That girl is actually very smart." Nejire said proudly.
"No, she's just a useless brat." Shigaraki said annoyed. Some of the girls in the audience give him dirty looks, but decide not to say anything to him.
"Just wait and see Shigaraki." Felicity thought.
"Oh wow, Shigi really doesn't like that girl." Toga said.
"It's true! No, it is not!" Twice said.
Dosu: Give the lady a prize. Yes, the vibration of molecules in the air creates a sound wave. These vibrations are picked up by the ears and then directed to the external auditory canal towards the eardrum. [An image appears that illustrates the explanation] The rest, as they say, is anatomy. What interests me are the organs of your inner ear, the ones that control your senses of balance, your ability to move. Are you dizzy? Do you have nausea? Alright, you better not try to get up for a while.
"Oh wow, that's certainly a good explanation of what they do. Horrible but right." Midoriya said, while writing down in his notebook.
"It certainly is." Uraraka said.
"It is certainly something frightening." Kyoka said awkwardly.
Zaku: You know, little friend? That old-fashioned Taijutsu won't help you against us. [Lee looked at him angrily] I'm not saying you're not good. It's just that... What do you gain? Compared to our Jutsu, that's just things of the past. [Zaku took his hands off the ground] You see, I can manipulate the supersonic probes and air pressure. Plus I can do things you haven't even dreamed of. I can remove rocks or make the floor as soft as a down pillow. Face it little man. You are defeated against the Jutsu of the future. [Air begins to come out of his hands.]
"That is indeed a good explanation of his abilities." Midoriya said.
"His sound skills are fascinating." Jiro said.
"Although if I were them I wouldn't underestimate Lee's taijutsu." Mirio said. "Although they say it is a thing of the past, it is certainly a powerful ability."
"Not to mention that Lee managed to defeat Sasuke." Amajiki said. "And even if those guys don't know it, we have already seen that in this world underestimating an opponent is a serious mistake."
Guy: Remember, this Jutsu can only be used as a last resort and only to protect someone very dear to you.
Lee: I understand only to protect someone very dear to me.
Guy: You did very well. I will never cease to be surprised at how quickly you perfected yourself, my dear student! I'm so proud of you Lee. [This makes Lee happy.]
The audience is moved to see this moment between Lee and Guy.
"That man is really proud of his student." All Might said happily. "And there is no shortage of reasons for it. You have raised a wonderful young man."
"They may not be father and son, but it's almost like they are." Ectoplasm said.
Dosu: Now little girl it's your turn [He goes to attack Sakura. She gets on her guard but Lee intervenes to everyone's surprise]
Lee: Leaf Hurricane. [Lee launched a kick, but Dosu jumped on top of him, dodging it.]
"I…incredible!" Katsuma exclaimed in surprise.
"Despite being in those conditions, he can still move." Recovery Girl said in surprise.
"And at that speed." Iida said surprised.
"He will stop at nothing to defend Sakura." Midoriya said impressed.
"That boy is actually very heroic." All Might said surprised and proud of Lee, and to some extent reminds him of young Midoriya.
"And he's incredibly manly!" Kirishima said excitedly.
Spinner, for his part, admires Lee's heroism, and recognizes him as a true hero, for his selfless action of saving Sakura instead of worrying about his own safety.
Dosu: The damage wasn't as effective as it was before, right? [Dosu fell to the ground and then threw a punch at Lee] It's still impressive that you can move. We'll have to do something about it [Lee put his hands in front of him to block his blow, but Dosu used his vibrations] Do you hear? This device amplifies the vibrations of the impact, transforming them into sound waves.
The audience gets very worried when they see this.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.
"Oh no! Mr. Lee!" Eri exclaimed worried.
"That baby is certainly impressive, although terrifying." Hatsume said.
"There are some things that shouldn't be invented. Like Iron Man's sonic taser." Power Loader said to which the rest of the audience nods in agreement.
Sakura: [Worried] Rock Lee!
Dosu: A sound wave that I can channel with my Chakra, focusing all its energy on the target I want.
Sakura: Stop it [Lee faints.]
The audience is scared to see Lee faint.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.
"Now only Sakura remains." Nejire said worriedly.
"They are fried." Spinner said, while some in the audience can't help but agree with him, since if the sound trio managed to defeat Lee, they don't see that Sakura can do much against them.
"What a good song! It really accompanies this moment very well." Jiro exclaimed.
Dosu: Very good little one. Let's get this over with.
Sakura: That's what you think. [Sakura threw some shuriken, but Dosu put his arm forward, deflecting the weapons, much to Sakura's surprise.]
"At least she's not going to give up without a fight." Nejire said.
"That girl is really blossoming." Midnight said proudly seeing how Sakura is not willing to give up without a fight, like the rest of the audience.
Shigaraki, for his part, simply looks at her with annoyance, but decides not to say anything.
Kushina, for her part, feels proud to see how Sakura has grown in these episodes.
Dosu: Aaah, I almost forgot about you. [We can see team 10 watching everything that happens.]
The audience tenses seeing that Dosu now has all his attention on Sakura and they can't help but worry about her.
"Is Miss Sakura going to be okay?" Eri asked worried.
"Sure thing Eri." Mirio said trying to cheer up Eri. "I hope you are good. Things are really not in their favor, those guys are followers of Orochimaru and are quite strong if they managed to defeat Lee." He thought worried.
"I'm sure it's going to be fine." Aoyama said confidently. "Mademoiselle is a girl not to be underestimated." The rest of the audience perks up upon hearing these words, while Shigaraki simply sighs in boredom.
Choji: Those guys scare me. I think we get out of here.
"Coward!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.
Shikamaru: Sasuke and Naruto don't count, and Lee doesn't look very good. Sakura is completely alone with those three guys. So, what do you want to do Ino?
The audience is surprised to hear these words since they did not expect Shikamaru to ask Ino something like that.
Ino: Why are you asking me?
"That's actually a very good question. Why did you ask her that?" Tsuntori asked in surprise.
"I guess we'll see." Tokage said in response to her classmate.
Shikamaru: Well, if we don't do something, she'll be toast. Doesn't it generate any conflict for you? You two were once friends, weren't you?
The audience is very surprised to hear this since the fact that Sakura and Ino had been friends was a surprising fact.
"Oh really?!" Uraraka exclaimed in surprise. "They used to be friends?"
"So it seems." Asui said surprised. "With how badly they get along, it's certainly surprising that they were ever friends."
[We see a flashback of Ino and Sakura as children, they are both sitting on a bench and talking.]
Young Sakura: By the way Ino.
Young Ino: Yes, what's wrong Sakura, why do you look so sad?
"Aw! They look so adorable!" Ashido said
Young Sakura: I just heard that...
Young Ino: What's wrong? What did you heard?
Young Sakura: Well, is what I heard true? Do you also like Sasuke? [Ino is surprised to hear this.]
"That!? Even as children they liked emo!" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise.
"It's so unfair! What do you see in him!? Emo is not interesting at all!" Mineta exclaimed jealously.
"There is no point in me arguing with you about it anymore." Asui said. "No matter how many times I explain it, you will never understand."
"Don't tell me they ended their friendship over something so ridiculous." Ashido said surprised.
Young Sakura: Then I think that's why we will be rivals from now on. [Sakura leaves, leaving Ino alone.]
"And of course you do." Kendo said. "They became rivals because of it."
"How pathetic. All for a boy who only sees them as a nuisance." Dabi said.
Ino: Calm down now Ino. That's ancient history.
Shikamaru: Okay, Ino. So what are we going to do?
Ino: Why do you keep asking me that? What am I supposed to do? Do you want me to put the rope around my neck alone? [Shikamaru looks at her annoyed and Ino was shaking with fear.] Because that's what would happen. We would be in the same situation as her. Who would that help?
"Coward!" Bakugo exclaims, annoyed with Ino.
"What a useless brat." Shigaraki said annoyed while scratching his neck.
"Hey, you were friends! Even though they fought over Sasuke you should still worry even a little about her!" Hagakure exclaimed.
"And who said you're alone? I remind you that your teammates are there too!" Ashido exclaimed.
"I think that's what that guy is trying to express. He wants to help Lee and Team 7, but he will let Ino make the final decision." Midoriya said. "I'll let her bear the weight of that decision, because as Sakura's friend she is the one who has to decide."
"Although on the other hand, I understand that you may be afraid, after all sound ninjas are quite strong." Mandalay said worriedly.
"I asked me what kinds of skills they will have. We have seen a little but I want to see more of them." Shinso said with interest.
Sakura: Take this [Sakura threw some shuriken in Dosu's direction, but Zaku stood in front of him, returning the shuriken] A wall of air. My shuriken bounced off me. [Kin appears behind Sakura holding her hair.]
Kin: What a delight. What silky and shiny hair. But you know what, if you spent less time moisturizing it and more time training your Jutsu, maybe you wouldn't be in this predicament.
The audience is shocked and horrified to see that Kin has trapped Sakura.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.
"Oh no! "Miss Sakura." Eri exclaimed scared.
"This is really bad! Awase exclaimed scared.
"Although the sound girl is not wrong, that girl should train more and not worry so much about her appearance." Spinner said, to which several agreed.
Kin: Hey Zaku, something funny occurs to me. Let's have the beauty queen witness how we finish off that Sasuke guy.
Zaku: Why not? Sounds like fun.
Sakura: Stay away from him, you bastards. [Sakura was going to get up, but Kin grabbed her hair tighter.]
Kin: Don't even think about it.
The audience becomes very tense watching this, and can't help but worry about Sakura, Lee, and the rest of Team 7. Some of them are hoping that Ino and Team 10 will step in and save them.
Lee: Sakura.
Sakura: It's useless, I have no strength left. [Cries] That's great Sakura. You let everyone down again. You're so good. Even now, when others really need me, I am a coward. How many times did they save my life? It would stand to reason that maybe just this once when it's life or death. It would be logical to think that he could do something. [Thinks about his teammates and Lee.]
The audience watches with great tension and nervousness this scene in which Sakura questions her weakness and the fact that she depends a lot on her companions.
"You shouldn't feel so bad about it. It is normal to be afraid." Asui said.
"Although it is true that you should train more, but yes." Kendo said.
"And she should also have a little more confidence in herself." Ashido said.
Zaku: It's time. It has to be done. [Zaku approaches the place where Sasuke's body was, meanwhile a purple energy was beginning to come out of Sasuke's neck.]
The audience is scared to see what is happening on the screen. Both the fact that Team 7 is in grave danger, and the mysterious energy that is coming out of Sasuke.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in fear.
"B…but what the hell is that!? And why is he coming out of emo?!" Kaminari exclaimed scared.
"Whatever it is is bad." Jiro said worried.
"It must be the curse mark." Midoriya said worriedly, to which several nodded in agreement with this, since it is most likely.
"That damn bastard." Nezu thought, annoyed and terrified when he remembered Orochimaru.
Shikamaru: Damn! This is really getting very ugly.
Ino: What do I do? What I do?
"Do something! Whatever but do it!" Katsuma exclaimed.
[Sakura took a kunai from her shuriken holder.]
Kin: Please it's useless. That won't help you with me. [Sakura smiles.]
Sakura: I wasn't planning on using it on you.
"Oh, Mademoiselle has an ace up her sleeve." Aoyama said happily at this fact.
"Excellent!" Eri exclaimed happily at this.
"Hopefully she can do whatever she has in mind." Mandalay said worriedly.
"I'm sure everything will be fine." Mirio said in a reassuring tone. "I hope so."
Kin: [Surprised.] What are you saying? [Sakura cuts her hair to get out of Kin's grip, much to everyone's surprise.]
"Oh so that was her plan." Yaoyorozu said surprised. "Cutting her hair to free herself from her attack, in addition to surprising her rival since she did not expect her to do something like that."
"To be honest, I didn't expect it either." Ashido said surprised. "With how much she appreciates her looks and hair, I never thought she would do something like that."
"It was certainly unexpected and effective." Midnight said.
"In fact, for a ninja and a hero it would be more effective to have short hair. This way you prevent things like that from happening, in addition to being impractical for that type of life." Mandalay said, to which several women in the audience nod in agreement.
"Well, that's true, but having long hair is prettier, and you get used to it over time." Nejire said.
Sakura: I always considered myself a true ninja. Always accept being madly in love with Sasuke. And I'm always scolding Naruto by acting like I know more than him. But it's always lip service. Because deep down they always go ahead, and I always see from behind. Because? [Remembers the mission to Land of Waves.] Regardless of the fact that they have always been there. Those two protecting me. And Lee, you did more than tell me you liked me. You proved it to me. We're not even a team and you're risking your life for me. All this time they have been teaching me something.[Thinks of Naruto, Sasuke and Lee] It's time he learned his lesson. Very good. No more cowardice now it's my turn to lead and everyone else can see my back. [We see Sakura with short hair and determined to protect her friends.]
The audience is happy to see the new determination in Sakura's eyes. Even Shigaraki is a little surprised to see her, but quickly covers it up.
"I like that look on her face." Uraraka said. "She is willing to do anything to protect her friends and prevent anyone from hurting them, just like a hero would do!"
"It looks like it's finally blooming." Midnight said proudly.
"That girl." Nejire said proud of Sakura.
"Oh wow, this music perfectly accompanies the scene. "It adds drama and depth to this scene." Jiro said. "And the heroic music at the end highlights his determination to protect his friends."
"And that you say it. The music really accompanies this scene very well and makes it more memorable." Makoto said in agreement.
Ino: [Surprised.] Wow, Sakura.
Lee: Sakura, take care of yourself. [Lee was left unconscious.]
Zaku: Kin finish it. [Kin took out some needles, while Sakura did a hand position.]
The audience watches the scene with tension and expectation because although Sakura has found determination and strength to protect her friends, the sound ninjas outnumber her and are quite skilled enemies, in addition to being Orochimaru's servants. Although they still have hope that everything is fine.
Zaku: Mmm, I know that hand position. [Kin attacked Sakura, but Sakura turned into a log of wood.]
Kin: [Surprised] A replacement Jutsu.
"Oh yes baby!" Hatsume exclaimed excitedly.
"Looks like Sakura has a few tricks up her sleeve." Compress said while playing with a couple of marbles. "Despite being the weakest of her team, she is not someone to be underestimated."
"That shouldn't be a surprise. Mademoiselle is certainly a fascinating girl." Aoyama said, to which the rest of the audience nods in agreement. Shigaraki snorts upon hearing this, but refrains from saying anything.
"It certainly is. My son has really made some good friends."Kushina thought happy at this fact.
Zaku: Do you think you can fool me with that pathetic Ninjutsu? I am superior to you. [Sakura ran towards Zaku with some kunai in both hands] Kin, get out of there [Sakura threw the kunai at him] How pathetic. Thank you for the gift, but I hope you don't mind if I give it back to you. [Sakura started doing some hand positions again] Wave of Cutting Sound. [Zaku deflected the kunai by sending air in Sakura's direction, but Sakura turned into a log again] What a surprise. Well, where did you go? [Zaku looked up seeing Sakura doing the same hand positions] Do you really want to keep playing? Because I have news for you, I'm not going to fall like you wanted. [Zaku took out some kunai and threw them at Sakura who covered herself with her arms, remaining stuck in her body.]
The audience is shocked when they see these events.
"Ahh!" Several exclaimed when they saw the kunai stab into Sakura's body.
"So that was your plan? Disorient him with the substitution jutsu and then take him by surprise?!" Kendo said surprised.
"So it seems." Iida said. "And yes, that worked."
"It's really surprising, but I guess that was the idea, so it's okay." Melissa said.
"Oh yeah! Blood!" Toga exclaimed happily upon seeing it, much to the chagrin of the rest of the audience.
Zaku: And where will you come from now? [Zaku looked around until a drop of blood fell on his cheek, much to his surprise] What? No. Yes, it's really her this time. [Sakura fell on top of Zaku, stabbing him with the kunai in his arm. Everyone is surprised at this.]
"Yes, it was a good idea. Just by seeing that guy's expression you can tell he was taken by surprise." Tokage said.
"Debatable but good." Aizawa said. "I just hope he has something else planned other than that."
[Zaku screams when he sees that Sakura had bitten him on the other arm and hits her on the head to make her let go]
The audience is worried when they see this and how that guy is hitting Sakura, and they hope that Sakura is okay and manages to either fight back or that someone will help her.
Ino: Sakura.
[We see a flashback. A young Sakura was crying while being watched by Ino.]
Young Ino: Hello. Hey, are you the one who always gets made fun of for having a billboard row?
Young Sakura: Who are you?
Young Ino: Me? Easy. My name is Ino Yamanaka. Who are you?
Young Sakura: My name is Sakura.
Young Ino: Excuse me? I can't hear you, let's try again, okay? Who are you?.
Young Sakura: MY NAME IS SAKURA.
Young Ino: That's better [touches her forehead with her finger] So this is the famous billboard row, huh? Well, if it's so big, that's why you hide it with your bangs. What nonsense. That makes it worse. It makes you look like a dog [Sakura was going to cry again and Ino looked at her with a smile] So you're Sakura, huh?
Young Sakura: Aha.
Young Ino: Hey you know what? I have something special for you. Come back here tomorrow.
The audience is surprised to see this, as this flashback is certainly unexpected and revealing, not to mention that it reminds them of Steve and Bucky to some extent.
"They were seriously making fun of her for that?! What a ridiculous and childish thing!" Nejire exclaimed in surprise.
"Well, they have like how much? They look 5 or 6 years old at most, so it's not that strange." Recovery Girl said. "Sometimes kids can be cruel about things like that."
"Sad but true." Makoto said, to which some in the audience (Midoriya in particular) nod in agreement. Bakugo, for his part, cannot help feeling guilty for his past actions towards Midoriya, which went beyond simply calling him insulting nicknames.
"But at least Sakura had someone by her side." Midoriya said happily upon seeing this. "To some extent she's basically Sakura's Bucky."
"This seems to be Deku-kun." Uraraka said in agreement.
"Grr! Don't bring the Captain into this." Shigaraki said, annoyed by the fact that someone compared Sakura to Captain America.
[Back in the present, Zaku was still hitting Sakura on the head.]
Zaku: Someone get this crazy girl off my back.
The heroes and students are upset to see that Zaku continues to hit Sakura.
"How unmanly! Hitting a girl like that!" Kirishima exclaimed, annoyed with Zaku.
[Back in the flashback, we see what young Ino gave to young Sakura, a red ribbon.]
Young Ino: Ready, see? Yes I improve. [Ino put a red ribbon in Sakura's hair.] You look much better. You can keep that ribbon.
Young Sakura: Aaah thank you, but...
Young Ino: Huh? But what?
Young Sakura: My forehead.
"So that's what she gave her." Tokage said surprised.
"It was a very nice gesture of you, ribbit." Asui said.
"Not only is it to make her look prettier, but to give Sakura more confidence." Nejire said happily.
"She shouldn't feel bad about what other people say to her. She should have more confidence in her and not worry about what others think." Toga said.
Young Ino: Oh please. I'm telling you. The more you try to hide it, the bigger the problem will be. And your face isn't that bad. What's more, it's a pretty face. You just need to be more trust.
Young Sakura: Trust.
"So that's how they became friends." Tsuntori said. "It is certainly a very beautiful friendship."
"It's a shame they fought over that boy, but maybe they'll reconcile one day." Hagakure said.
"Mh, I like that girl." Toga said, happy to see how Ino encourages Sakura not to hide and to have more confidence in herself.
Girl: Hello Ino, who are you with? What's she called?
Young Ino: Her name is Sakura. Come on, aren't you going to say hello? [Sakura hid behind Ino embarrassed.]
Young Sakura: Hello.
"Wow, Sakura sure has changed over the years, the one in the present has a lot more confidence now." Bondo said.
"At least when it comes to relating to others, yes." Midoriya said. "How I wish I had a friend like that when I was a child."
[Back in the present, Zaku was still hitting Sakura on the head.]
Zaku: Let me go!
Young Sakura: Hello everyone! I have something to tell you. It's a secret, you can't even imagine who I like. They don't have the foggiest idea.
"Sasuke." Said several in the audience.
"That's one of the worst kept secrets of all time." Shigaraki said annoyed.
"You shouldn't hide your feelings, you should express your love freely." Toga said.
"That already does it, Toga." Spinner responded.
Girl 1: And why don't you tell us?
Girl 2: Yes, just don't come out, it's Sasuke.
Young Sakura: Huh? But how did they find out?
Girl 1: Take a turn. Sasuke is the most popular boy that exists, it is logical.
Young Sakura: Is it? That means I'll have a lot of competition.
"That's for sure." Ojiro said somewhat awkwardly as he remembered all the girls who were interested in Sasuke.
"It's so unfair! How can it be that emo is so successful among girls and they're not even interested!? Mineta exclaimed jealously.
"Because you have other interests, purple dwarf." Dabi said.
"And he's not a pervert." Toga said.
Girl 3: Whao what a change, Sakura really came out of her shell, right?
"So it seems to be." Kodai said.
"I like it that way." Toga said proudly as she saw how Sakura was slowly gaining confidence in herself. "Although there are still things to do, but it is not a bad start."
Young Ino: Hmp, sometimes I'd like to put it back in. [Present Ino looks horrified at the scene in front of her.]
Young Sakura: Hey Ino, you know something? I found out that Sasuke likes girls with long hair.
"Do they really have long hair just for that?!" Nejire said surprised.
"I would like to know where they got that from." Yanagi said. "Because it doesn't seem like Sasuke has any interest in girls of any kind."
Young Sakura: So, is what I heard true? You like Sasuke too. That means we will be rivals from now on.
"And yes, they fought over a boy who doesn't even have interest in them." Pixie-Bob said.
"That's really pathetic." Spinner said.
"I really hope they reconcile one day." Ashido said.
"Well, who knows? Maybe it will happen sooner rather than later." Nejire said confidently.
Ino: It looks like someone grew their hair long.
Sakura: Looks like I'm not the only one.
Ino: If you think that being on the same team is going to make him love you, you're wrong. [Rays come out of their eyes]
Sakura: Face it Ino, I'm going to win.
Ino: Oh, do you think so, Sakura? I will never let you defeat me. It doesn't matter how hard you try.
"This is really pathetic." Shigaraki said annoyed while scratching his neck.
"Yeah! "There's no way they're fighting over that emo!" Mineta exclaimed jealously.
"Sasuke is no prize!" Tsuntori said upset by this fact.
"Do you even really like it? Or is it just because of his appearance?" La Brava asked.
Ino: [Crying] Sakura.
Sakura: I'm going to win. [Sakura bit him harder, Zaku hit Sakura, knocking her to the ground, and prepared to attack her.]
The audience also cries when they see this and the state Sakura is in.
"Miss Sakura." Eri said worried.
"Please Ino! React!" Hagakure said worriedly. "Your friend needs you!"
"And not only her, Lee and the rest of Team 7 are there, including her beloved Sasuke." Yanagi said.
"The music in this scene is just perfect." Jiro said, impressed by how once again the music accompanies the scenes.
Choji: Oh no, this is bad.
Shikamaru: Well Ino?
"Make up your mind once and for all!" Nejire exclaimed, surprising her friends a little.
Sakura: It's all in me. There is no one else.
The audience tenses seeing this and prays that Ino finally makes a decision.
"Please God, help them." Pray Shiozaki.
Zaku: Say goodbye girl. [Team 10 gets in front of Sakura to everyone's surprise.] What is this? The second round?
The audience is very happy to see what Ino's decision is.
"Oh yeah! Team 10 is here!" Hatsume exclaimed excitedly.
"Well technically they were already there, but oh well." Shinso said.
"Finally! It was time!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"It's good to see that you decided to help your friend." Ashido said happily at this.
"She really is a lot like Bucky." Midoriya said. "Even if she technically had a fight with Sakura, she still came to her rescue."
"I just hope they can do something against those guys." Kaminari said worriedly.
"Surely they can, I think so." Mirio said.
Sakura: [Surprised] Ino.
Ino: Surprised? I swore I would never let you get over me.
"Even if she says that, she actually cares about her." Uraraka said.
"I'm glad that's the case." Tokage said proud of Ino. "Despite everything, she still considers Sakura her friend."
"I hope that one day they can reconcile." Ashido said. "I really wouldn't want their friendship to end just because of a guy who isn't interested in them."
"I asked me what skills those on team 10 will have." Midoriya asked with interest.
"So far we only saw Ino's abilities." Shinso said. "I would also like to see the skills of your companions."
"We will see them very soon." Monoma said.
Bakugo, for his part, is excited about the upcoming fight between Team 10 and the sound ninjas.
[We see Sasuke alone in a forest.]
Sasuke: What is this? Where I am? [He sees that he is alone.]
The audience is very surprised to see this, as they were not expecting something like this.
"The emo is right, what is this?" Kaminari asked confused.
"Did he die?" Bondo asked surprised.
"No I dont think so." Midoriya said. "I'm not sure what this is exactly, but I don't think Sasuke is dead."
"Yes, I don't think so either." Mirio said confidently.
Sasuke: Who is it? [In front of Sasuke was the same man when he was a child.] It's me, many years ago.
"So emo was already emo even as a child." Bakugo said. "It really hasn't changed much over the years."
Young Sasuke: My parents shouldn't have died, I shouldn't have allowed it [We see Sasuke's house and the lifeless bodies of his parents in front of him.]
The audience is shocked and horrified to see the bodies on the screen. They also feel great shock at the fact that Sasuke witnessed such a horrible event at such a young age.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaimed in terror.
"T…they are the bodies of their parents!" Awase exclaimed scared.
"Don't tell me he saw them die." Uraraka said horrified by this fact.
"No, that was not the case." Felicity said, reassuring the audience a little. "But he did see the bodies, although they would see that at another time."
"Be that as it may, it's something horrible, ribbit." Asui said.
"Poor boy." Recovery Girl said moved.
Young Sasuke: They are all dead, why wasn't I strong enough to save them?
The audience is shocked and saddened to see how young Sasuke mourns the deaths of his family and not having been able to do anything to save them. Some even cry because of the sadness that this scene generates in them.
"It was not your fault. You were just a child, you couldn't have done anything." Mandalay said sadly.
"If he has tried to do something, he probably would have died too." Pixie-Bob said sadly.
"And all because of his psycho brother." Said Kamikiri furious at Itachi for his horrible actions. The rest of the audience shares the feeling of anger. Kushina, for her part, is saddened to see how the Uchiha clan ended and the consequences that Itachi and Sasuke suffered.
Young Sasuke: My entire clan was destroyed [Back in the present, Sasuke's body was still emanating the same purple energy.]
The audience now feels fear as they see the mysterious energy that is coming out of Sasuke's body.
"Ahh!" Several people exclaim in fear.
"But what the hell is that?!" Awase exclaimed scared.
"Yeah! "What is that thing and why is it coming out of the emo's body?!" Mineta asked terrified.
"I don't think we want to know the answer." Komori said scared. "But one way or another we will know eventually."
Sakura: Ino, but why?
Ino: Because I'm tired of you showing off in front of Sasuke, and trying to get all the credit.
"Even if she says that, it was because she cares about her." Midnight said.
Dosu: [Furious] Those worms from the leaf village will regret having meddled in matters that do not concern them. [Choji trembles when he sees it.]
The audience tenses upon seeing this and worries about Team 10, Team 7, and Lee.
"Please sir, help them." Pray Shiozaki.
Choji: Did they go crazy? What are we doing here? These guys are harbingers of bad luck.
"That fat man is a coward!" Bakugo exclaimed, annoyed when he saw Choji's attitude.
Shikamaru: Don't look at me. It was Ino's idea. What are we supposed to do? Let's sit and watch the girl fight alone?
"Don't try to put all the blame on your partner either, because you also wanted to help them." Kodai said.
"You just let her make the decision, but you wanted to intervene." Tsuntori said.
"Although it's nice that he doesn't abandon her and fights by her side." Ashido said.
Ino: Sorry for dragging you into this. But we are a team of three, right? All for one and one for all.
Shikamaru: [Confidently] Yes, that tells us what will happen.
The audience is happy to hear these words and hope that team 10 manages to defeat the sound ninjas.
"Those guys." Thirteen said looking at them. "It's good to see how they are willing to support each other."
"Although because I have the feeling that he just made a reference?" Sero asked.
"Because in fact she did." Yaoyorozu said. "That last thing Ino said is a reference to Alexandre Dumas's Three Musketeers."
"Oh, I love that book." Aoyama said excitedly. "And that is not only a great phrase, it is also a symbol of what teamwork, loyalty and effort represent!" The rest of the audience is surprised to hear that.
"That is certainly a good definition of what that phrase means. I couldn't have said it better myself." said Cementross, who as a literature professor is familiar with Dumas's work.
"Although I have a feeling he was referring to something else." Sero said, still not completely confused. All Might, Midoriya, and Bakugo shift uncomfortably in their seats, while All for One smiles at the mention of One for All and All for One.
Choji: [Scared] This is not teamwork. It's more like suicide [Choji tried to leave, but Shikamaru stops him] Let me go! Let me go!
"Stop acting like a fat coward!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.
Shikamaru: Stop moving, you're driving me crazy.
"You are not the only one." Aizawa said frustrated by Choji's behavior.
"That fat boy is a coward!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.
"That's so unmanly." Kirishima said.
Zaku: Better a live sheep than a dead lion. Don't you think... chubby? [Choji stops when he hears it.]
Choji: What did you just say?
The audience tenses seeing Choji's reaction.
"Oh oh." Eri said a little worried.
"It seems like someone got angry." Kota said.
"It's not that surprising either, considering they just insulted him." Mahoro said.
Shikamaru: [Scared] Oh! Oh! He hit Choji where it hurts the most.
"Well, it seems like that affects that boy a lot." Yanagi said.
"Maybe you should stop calling him that Bakugo." Kaminari said.
"Shut up dunce face! As if something like that were going to happen!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"Bakugo behavior!" Iida intervened, making a robotic cut, much to Bakugo's annoyance.
Choji: Do you want to try saying that again?
Zaku: I said you'd be smart to get out of this while you can fat.
Choji: [Furious] WHO DID YOU CALL THAT!? I'M JUST A LITTLE FULL YOU HEAR?! [A blue Chakra surrounded Choji] THE FATTIES RULE! [Sakura looks at him confused] Now you've gone too far! This is now personal! This is a fight to the death between the leaf and the sound!
The audience is surprised to see Choji's reaction to being called fat.
"Yes, he is definitely upset." Melissa said surprised.
"Annoying is not the word I would use." Kendo said. "It's obvious he's furious at being called fat."
"You really shouldn't call him that again Bakugo." Sero said.
"Shut up cellophane!" Bakugo exclaimed annoyed.
Ino: [Smiling] Excellent, he's already gone crazy.
"That's one way to put it." Tokage said surprised.
"And you say it, ribbit." Asui said.
Shikamaru: Good job, thank you very much. Now we will have to endure it like this.
"He doesn't seem surprised by his teammate's reaction." Fuyumi said, somewhat surprised by this fact.
"Well, you've probably known each other for a while and you already know how much it bothers you to be called fat." Makoto said thoughtfully.
"Yes, that makes sense." Shinso said thoughtfully.
"Although the pineapple head seems to be more upset about the fact that he's going to have to put up with it now than anything else." Bakugo said boredly.
Zaku: Don't worry, it won't be for long. We have to forget about these clowns, the target is Sasuke.
The audience tenses at this, and hopes that the sound ninjas are defeated before they can hurt Sasuke or anyone else.
Shiozaki prays for the safety of teams 7 and 10 and for Lee.
Kushina, for her part, is a little worried, she knows that her son and his friends were going to survive this, so she calms down.
Sakura: Sasuke [Sakura looks at him worried.]
"And of course she had to say that." Shigaraki said annoyed while scratching his neck.
"Do I have to remind you that you have another teammate and that Lee is also there?!" Spinner asks incredulously.
"Though Sasuke is these guys' priority so protecting him should also be Sakura and Team 10's priority." Kodai said.
"Yes, that's true." Nezu said. "Probably Orochimaru marked it as the main objective." He said annoyed and terrified as he remembered the snake sannin.
Ino: Sakura, your classmates fell, look at them. You take care of them. [Sakura smiles and nodded] Well team Ino, show who's boss.
Choji and Shikamaru: Got it!
"Mh, that girl seems to be quite a capable leader." Midnight said looking at her with interest. "She was able to put together a plan in a short time and command the rest to act better."
"And the idea of Sakura protecting her teammates and Lee, while she and her teammates fight the sound ninjas, isn't bad at all." Vlad said. "At least this way they will achieve a certain balance and distribution of tasks."
"And her classmates and Sakura have also recognized him and followed her instructions." Yaoyorozu said surprised by this fact. "We really have a lot to learn from them and their teamwork."
"And for you to say it." Uraraka said, to which the students nod in agreement, acknowledging that they still have to improve their teamwork. Bakugo and Midoriya, for their part, feel somewhat uncomfortable remembering their "teamwork" that ended with Kakashi giving them the thousand years of pain and reading Midoriya's diary.
Ino: Training, Ino!
Shikamaru: Shika!
Choji: Cho! [Choji stamps his foot on the ground.]
The audience is a little surprised to see this.
"Hey? What was that?" Kaminari asked confused.
"They said the first part of their names, almost as if it were the introduction of something." Asui said thoughtfully.
"Because in fact that's how it is." Kushina said to the surprise of the audience. "They are the Ino-Shika-Cho formation of their generation."
"Ino-Shika-Cho Formation? And what is that?" Midoriya asked with interest as he prepares to take notes in his notebook.
"It is equipment and forms of combat used by members of the Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi clans and designed as a result of their long history of working together." Kushina said. "Even before the founding of Konoha, those three clans were very close and that formation arose as a result of that friendship. It is also customary for the members to take as their name the part they represent in the formation."
"Awesome." Midoriya said in amazement as did the rest of the audience.
"The part they represent? What does that mean?" Ashido asked confused.
"As you noticed, each of them has part of the name of the formation in their names, that is related to the clan and its members who have that name are the future members of the Ino-Shika-Cho, it happened like this with their fathers and when they "If they have children, they will follow the tradition by giving themselves those names." Felicity explained, to the surprise of the audience.
"And it also refers to a Hanafuda movement." Shinso said surprised. "Ino-Shika-Cho is one of the best possible plays in that game."
"It's really very interesting." Fuyumi said.
"Whatever, I want to see them in action!" Bakugo exclaimed.
"And you say it Bakubro! I also want to see your techniques in action!" Kirishima exclaimed excitedly.
Ino: It's your turn Choji.
Choji: It will be my pleasure [Performs a hand position] Expansion jutsu [His body expands.]
The audience (Kendo in particular) are surprised to see Choji's technique.
"I…impressive!" Eri and Katsuma exclaimed in unison.
"He looks a little like my Quirk, but he doesn't make his hands bigger…" Kendo said in surprise.
"What technique is that?" Midoriya asked with interest.
"It's a secret jutsu of the Akimichi clan. With this technique, the user's body size increases through the energy of the food consumed, since the members of the Akimichi clan have the ability to convert calories into Chakra and use it in their fighting style." Felicity explained to the surprise of the audience, while Midoriya wrote down the explanation in his notebook.
"That's an impressive skill." Yaoyorozu said. "It's something similar to my Quirk, except that it converts calories into Chakra and not into materials."
