The next match should have been Kankuro vs. Dosu, but since Dosu did not participate, the match was considered for Kankuro to be the winner.
Gaara and Kankuro had a separate plan that they planned with Temari's situation, her brother Kankuro thought it would be a better way to prevent her sister from continuing to develop feelings for Genji, even though she continued to outright deny it.
Temari went out the door to go to the bathroom and Kankuro who watched her come out of her was more than ready to carry out her plan upon hearing that Genma said that they would give a few minutes for the next fight to start.
The fight that followed was Sasuke vs. Shino. Kankuro would take advantage of the fact that he had enough time before the real mission began and Gaara went into a frenzy.
The two brothers left the room and Genji was interested in knowing why he gave up since Temari is not easy to accept defeat like the other shinobi.
Genji followed the two brothers but did not realize that Gaara was following him by leaving a sand clone in her place.
A few minutes later ...
In the women's bathrooms, Temari looked at herself in the mirror by wetting her face with water to relax a bit, but she couldn't get negative thoughts out of her head that could happen with the mission.
She grabbed some paper to wipe her face and leave the bathroom with a normal look, but someone was waiting for her.
"Do you seem a little upset Temari?" Kankuro tells her while crossing his arms and looking at her sister.
Temari just gave him one look and was direct on what she wanted her sister, "What's wrong Kankuro!" She told him with you annoyed since it would not be a good day for her.
"I just wanted to see how you were and ask something that I can't get out of my head," Kankuro tells him when he sees that an eye of sand hides behind Temari and blinks a few times as a sign of Kankuro.
- So the worm followed us, this will be easier than I thought -. Kankuro thinks when he sees that Genji followed them and his plan can finally begin.
"Come on sister I know you've been very different since you interacted with Genji-Kun, I was wondering if you liked him ?!" Kankuro asks her why she knows that her sister's personality is one of denial and will take advantage of her situation so that her goal is fulfilled.
A few minutes earlier Genji left the waiting room to look for Temari, but he was curious as to why she would give up that he was heading to the bathrooms.
After finding the toilets Genji was around the corner, he was ready to meet Temari and ask her, but he heard that her brother had a conversation with her.
"Do you like Genji?"
He was the only thing he heard when he felt her heartbeat with greater intensity and with great care he approached to eavesdrop on the conversation
Temari didn't expect that question that raised her eyebrow a little, but she knew that her brother had insisted that she answer, "It's just that… I think it's wrong to leave him a little alone because of my situation." She told him while playing with her hair a bit.
Kankuro had never seen her sister act like this, but he continued with her plan, "I see… In other words, you say you can't quit because you like him!"
Temari turns a little red from what her brother said, however, she quickly regains her composure by not allowing her emotions to show and replies with denial, "NOOOO! To begin with, I don't even see him like a man! ".
Kankuro had a smile at his sister's response, but he wanted to hurt his target more, which added more fuel to the situation so that his sister would count for more.
"You always say that sister, but you really like him, just admit it I don't care what happens to the two of you."
Temari was more upset, but she denied it, "I DON'T LIKE IT! It's not no, not in the least I like it now and never!"
Genji who heard Temari's words caused him pain and he only lowered his head when he saw that he did not expect to hear those kinds of words from Temari.
"Whatever, let's go back to the living room!" She said Temari as she finished the topic and went around the hall to wait for her to start the mission, but she stopped her advance by stopping short by Genji who was leaning against the wall.
Temari, seeing Genji, opened her eyes in surprise with her mouth wide open, trying to say a word, but no words came out, since she never expected him to appear at this moment, much less that she heard her.
Genji kept his head down, but little by little he looked up to look sadly at Temari, "I don't understand… If you never like me, why did you keep looking for me and even talking? !!!" Her voice was a little serious from the pain she felt when asking Temari.
"That's an excellent question Genji-Kun, why don't you tell him the truth?" He smirked at Kankuro, but Genji ignored Kankuro and just concentrated on looking into Temari's eyes.
Temari felt pain for the tone of her voice, but when she saw that her brother smiled a little at the situation, she understood that she could not continue like this, the mission was entrusted to her by her father although this causes a lot of anguish to her and Genji.
"W-to make you suffer!" It was the only thing Temari managed to say, her mind was suffering from seeing Genji in pain, but she could not do anything for the mission that was indicated to her.
Genji breathed a little when he saw that everything was a falsehood on the part of Temari, Genji did not want to stay in the same place anymore as he took his eyes away from Temari to turn his feet and leave the place, but a new voice appeared.
"GO DEAD!!!". He screamed like a lunatic Gaara as he turned his hand into a huge claw of sand that caught Genji off guard.
Gaara's claw grabbed Genji's body and smashed him to the ground causing a huge fracture to the floor and a draft of wind through the hall.
"GAHH". He let out a cry of pain but was silenced by the sand that clogged his mouth in no time.
The yellow claw with some blue patterns began to increase in size and produce a gust of wind throughout the corridor and then put more pressure on Genji's poor body.
* Pop! * * Pop! * * Pop! * Three explosions were heard as Gaara's arm swept through three floors of the coliseum with Genji's body and left him buried in the concrete of the first floor with stones covering his body completely.
Part of the floor thundered from the pressure, which killed some guards and people who were on the first floors.
This was the beginning of a great wave of screaming from people who were buried alive by the concrete, but for some people, this was the beginning of the mission.
Gaara's claw receded from the spot and before long his body began to transform more into the tailed beast.
Temari looked with watery eyes at the place where Genji was standing before squeezing his hands, while his mind played the last moments of both together and a line of tears ran down his face, wondering if everything he did was the right thing to do.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I'm sorry Genji." Temari repeated softly as tears spilled from his eyes. His tears stopped when he heard the sounds of fighting and explosions taking place throughout the arena.
...

.
While that was happening with Genji, a few minutes before Sasuke arrived in time before he started his fight, and was not disqualified from the competition.
Sasuke and Shino began to fight, but Sasuke dominated the fight by using fire jutsu to burn the insects and not let them get close to him.
As people concentrated on watching the combat, some anbu who wore masks and capes on his body made some hand signals that caused some people to start falling into a deep sleep.
This was perceived by the Jounin who had battlefield experience and quickly tried to get out of Genjutsu.
While the Jounin dispersed the Genjutsu at the top of the coliseum where the two Hokages were sitting, both looked at each other for a moment and hearing how a strong shaking occurred in the distance causing some floors of the coliseum to collapse.
The two Hokages looked at each other and time seemed to slow down as they both got into a fighting stance and the first to make a move was the Kazekage.
In his hand, he held a smoke grenade which he threw at Hiruzen and said with amusement.
"Now we can start!"
The grenade covered the place with a thick smoke screen that was the signal for the attack on both villages to begin. Ninjas of sound and sand moved through the village to raid some specific points of the leaf village.
Other shinobi of the arena used fuinjutsu to perform a huge summoning seal that would aid with their large-scale attack.
The Ambu was moving in the direction of the third Hokage to protect him but were stopped by four shinobi from the village of sound who began to perform some hand seals.
"Four Violet Flame Formation Jutsu". The four shinobi said at the same time as a thin, purple wall took the shape of a cube.
At each corner of the formation were four different shinobi who held the barrier.
"It's finally our turn." Kidomaru the dark-skinned shinobi with six arms said.
"This will be stressful to keep the barrier up all day and the fault of all this is Tayuya's dog." Sakon and Ukon complained a bit that he was a two-headed shinobi.
"Don't let Tayuya affect you, eventually we will kill her together for the betrayal she did against Lord Orochimaru!" Jirobu said arrogantly, being one of the tallest and fattest on the team with his three locks of orange hair.
The three sound shinobi spoke a bit but fell silent upon hearing the calmer voice of the team.
"Stop babbling and focus on your mission." They were told by Kimimaru the last member of the formation who had a more refined appearance due to his white skin, long hair, and the two points on his forehead that defined him as a member of the Kaguya clan.
The three talking shinobi fell silent upon hearing their team leader's orders.
..
.
In the waiting room, Sakura performed the dispersion jutsu when she noticed how her vision darkened.
"Dispersion". Sakura performed a jutsu that could help her get out of Genjutsu, then she saw that Naruto was unconscious that she went to wake him up with the same jutsu.
Naruto woke up yawning a little, but his face was serious as he heard the sounds of fights taking place throughout the coliseum.
Sakura and Naruto climbed the stairs to get a better view of the place, finding Guy and Kakashi fighting some shinobi from the sound and the sand.
"Kakashi Sensei". The two of them said at the same time as they ran in the direction of their master.
The Konoha duo defeated all of the shinobi and before they moved to another location to help, but they heard the scream of two of Kakashi's apprentices.
Kakashi looks at the two of his disciples who were advancing on him and started running to them, but some shinobi got in his way to meet up with Naruto and Sakura.
Of all the anbu gathered, one distinguished himself from the others by wearing an anbu mask, hat, and a robe different from the others.
"What are they doing !? The Hokage-sama is in grave danger!" Guy complained as he followed his rival.
"I didn't expect the enemy to disguise themselves as an Anbu member." Kakashi calmly said as he moved the ninja gang from him and displayed his Sharingan ready for action.
Guy understood Kakashi's words and quickly prepared to attack or defend against surprise attacks.
Guren removed all the disguise from him and with a stance of hands prepared to face his opponents, "Crystal Style: Jade Armor".
Guren's body was covered by pink armor that protected his entire body and two sharp blades appeared on both arms.
"I never thought I would face the ninja he copied, I hope he is as strong as the rumors say!" Guren says arrogantly as he jumps in Kakashi's direction followed by his team that went in Guy's direction.
Kakashi's kunai stops the blade a few inches from his face, while he sweats a bit from receiving the blow from Guren. His Sharingan managed to catch the kunoichi's movements, but his body couldn't match the speed and strength he used when moving.
With Kakashi stopped by the crystal blade, Guren took advantage of him to use his leg and punish Kakashi with two legs in a row on his stomach.
The force Guren used was astonishing as he threw Kakashi's body a few meters and Kakashi had to do some flips like this back to slow him down.
Naruto and Sakura approached his teacher, but Kakashi tells them not to approach by not taking his gaze from Guren.
"Naruto and Sakura, she is too strong for you to support me ...! I will give you the mission to help all the injured people out of this place, you can wake up your companions and avoid fighting with shinobi from the village of sound and sand! It's clear! "
Before the two could answer a shinobi of sound moved quickly and got behind Naruto, but was stopped by Guy-sensei who smashed him like a fly on the wall and created a hole.
"This will be the exit, quickly wake up your companions so they can get all these people out of danger," Guy tells them as he launches himself to the next ninja.
