"Gaara!" Kankuro and Temari exclaimed, as their quickly when over to him while the attack begins on the Hidden Leaf Village.

The Hokage and Kazekage rise up from the smoke and lands on the roof. The Kazekage holds Lord Hokage by the neck and pointed a kunai knife at him.

As Sound Shinobis appearedbon the roof as well. "Ninja Art! Four Flames Formation!" Their said, creating a barrier.

"Barrier Ninjutsu, huh?!" Guy exclaimed.

"To think that they could outwit Anbu... They're not just ordinary..." Kakashi said.

Suddenly before Kakashi or Guy could do anything their were attack by the some Sound shinobis.

"What's going on?" Sasuke wondered as he saw the barrier.

"Stop it Gaara."

He turn to see Kankuro and Temari appeared before letting out a gasp as he saw Nikki in Kankuro's arms.

"I'll kill him...!" Gaara proclaimed, stepping forward but Kankuro stoped him.

"There's no meaning in continuing this fight! Plus we got the Phoenix Princess too." Kankuro said, showing Gaara, Nikki causing him to stop and stared at her sleeping face.

"Don'tdorget our mission!" Temari remind him.

Gaara step around Kankuro. "Out of my way...!"

Suddenly Baki appear in front of them, stopping Gaara once more. "What are you guys doing?!" He start to scold them. "The operation is already underway!"

Gaara start to groan in pain as hold his head.

Suddenly Genma appeared next to Sasuke.

"What in the world is going on? And you release Nikki!" Sasuke demanded turning off his Sharingan.

Gaara moan in pain.

"Gaara!" Temari excalimed worried as he drop to his knees.

"What's the matter?!" Kankuro asked.

Temari went over to Gaara, kneeling next to him and look at his wounded.

"His wound is deeper than I thought!" She said before looking over at Baki. "And moreover his Chakra is pretty drained!"

"In that case, what about using that thing...?" Kankuro asked.

"That'simpossible to do right away!" Temari replied.

"Idiot! It's all because you didn't wait for the signal and tried to become the Perfect Possession..." Baki scolded angrily.

Kankuro turn to their sensei. "What should we do?!" He exclaimed. "Are you saying we have to do this without Gaara?"

Baki gritted his teeth as he look at Gaara before his eyes trance over to Nikki, who was sleeping in Kankuro's arms and an idea came to him.

"Gaara is Sand's trump card. We have to get Gaara to do his work, no matter what!" Baki said before telling them his plan. "You guys leave for the moment and have the Phoenix Princess tend to Gaara's wounds! Then have her restored his chakra, 10x stronger! As soon as she done knock her out immediately! The operation will recommence!"

"Got it! But what if she refuses!" Kankuro asked glancing down at her.

"Then force her!? Do what ever you have to do to make her cooperate!" Baki proclaimed.

Temari wrapped Gaara's arm around her shoulders as she held him, stand up. "What about you, sensei?!" She asked.

"I'm gonna suppress those guys!" Baki said, facing towards Genma and Sasuke.

"Do you think things will go according to your plan?" Genma asked.

Sasuke keep his eyes toward his girlfriend. Nikki... He though worried.

"I'll make them so..." Baki answered.

Everything when silence as the atmosphere was intensifies by the seconds causing Genma to sweat.

"Go!" Baki exclaimed when a sweat drop fall and hit the ground.

"Okay!" Temari said as their quickly left.

"Nikki!" Sasuke exclaimed.

"Is Orochimaru the host of this party?" Genma asked, surprising Sasuke as he turn to him.

"Dunno... In any case, let's heat this thing up." Baki answered with a smug.

"Sasuke..." He look at Genma. "Sorry, but the Chūnin exam ends here." Genma apologized.

Sasuke gasp in shock.

"You've already achieved Chūnin level. If you've a Leaf Shinobi, be of service to the Leaf!" Genma told him.

"In other words, I'm supposed to take down that jerk Gaara and get Nikki back, right?"
Sasuke asked. Even though I'm still going to save her no matter what you says. He though dtermined to save Nikki.

"A continuation of earlier on, right?" He question Genma.

"Don't pursue too far." Genma told him. "From here on, it's on longer an exam. It's the real thing!"

"What I have to do though...is the same!" Sasuke said before turning off to follow the Sand Genin.

"I won't let him through!" Baki proclaimed as he quickly pull out kunai knives and throw them at Sasuke.

However Genma reacted and throw his own to deflected them, allowing Sasuke to leave.

Nikki's POV inside her mind space.

I gasp as I found myself in my space.

"What's going on? What happening?" I asked myself confused.

"Im afriad Konoha is being invaded by the Sand and Sound Shinobis." I look to see the Almighty Phoenix.

"What?!" I exclaimed in shock.

I float up to the Phoenix.

"Yes, and Orochimaru is keeping Lord Hokage hostage inside a barrier." The Phoenix told me.

Grandpa Hokage... I though shocked and worried.

"And you are under Genjutsu as while as begin taking away by the Sand Genin to be used for their plan." The Phoenix said to me.

I look at the Phoenix speedless. "Wha..."

The Phoenix nodded. "Yes. The power of the Mikage clan is something the some would call mystical or godly which is why power hungry people are after it.

I hugged myself as I tramble at that though.

The Phoenix notice and lean down, nuzzle it break against my cheek.

"Do not fear the young Uchiha is coming to save you." The Phoenix said.

Sasuke! I though before looking down my ring as a smile formed on my lips before lifting my hand and kiss the ring.

Sasuke...save me please, my love. I praied as a tear drop onto the ring.

Sasuke's Pov

I gasp in shock as I somehow could feel Nikki's emotions.

She was calling out to me causing me to increase my speed to go faster.

Nikki, Im coming. I though determniedbto save her and take down Gaara.

I can't wait to take her and make her mine. I remember what Gaara had whispered to me back at the arena.

Making me gritted my teeth together as it fuel me as I refusing to let it happen to the girl I love.
