Here's the next round people. And I thought, since it seems so popular, I'll add a disclaimer.

Chapter 25: Sasuke Vs. Gaara!
"I've been looking forward to this," Smiled Sasuke activating his Sharingan.
"Just go," said Gaara.
"You asked for it," Sasuke said as he charged in. As expected Gaara blocked him easily with the sand. However, Sasuke suddenly disappeared from site and was directly behind Gaara, delivering a quick punch again, the sand barely able to block. Using his momentum he quickly darted to Gaara's other side, delivering a full force punch to Gaara's face. Gaara flew back as the sand caught him.
"Kakashi? You got his speed up that fast in a month?" asked Gai.
"OF course," Kakashi replied.
"You know some hasteily learned Taijutsu won't be able to beat a guy like Gaara," Gai replied.
"The training was for another purpose," Kakashi said.
"You mean, that technique?" Gai said surprised Kakashi would teach his student a move like that.
Gaara's face bore a huge twisted Grin. He realized Sasuke's power and wanted to kill him more than anyone else he has ever fought. Gaara did some hand seals and a barrier of sand surround him forming a sphere. Gaara sat in the darkness of the sphere thinking to himself, Its time to come out Shukaku, lets feed mother some tasty blood this time.
Sasuke attacked the sphere, but couldn't dent it, and only had to quickly jump away, since sand spike errupted from the sphere. Sasuke's left arm was cut a bit, but otherwise he got away. Sasuke only smirked as he jumped up high onto the wall, "Looks like its time to use that move," he smiled.
"Whats Gaara doing?" Whispered Temari to Kankurou.
"Kabuto's going to have to move the plan ahead of Schedule," Kankurou frowned. Unbeknownst to them Shino was standing around the corner and heard them. He simply stood there, waiting to find out what was going on with the Sand Nins.
"Chidori!" cried sasuke as a huge amount of Chakra formed visibly in his hand, emmiting lighting off it. He brought his right hand back with the Chidori and charged down the wall. He lunged his hand straight at Gaara, though the sand Eye Gaara created had seen Sasuke coming, so Gaara managed to move within the sphere, avoiding a death blow, but suffering a severe wound to his left shoulder when Chidori smashed through the sand.
Sasuke had a sly smile on his face, but it quickly faded when his hand became stuck in the sand. He managed to pull it out and avoid any critical blows from the emmerging sand spikes. However he did suffer many significant cuts. Dammin, Sasuke thought, It didn't work. I'll need to hit him again.
But before he could do so he noticed white feathers falling from all over the sky and began feeling very drousy. HE quickly realized it was Genjutsu, did some seals and cried, "Dispel!" and the feathers dissapeared. The whole of the adience was now asleep along with quite a few Genin. By the time he looked back at Gaara he had passed out and the sand siblings had taken him and ran. Sasuke wanted to finish the fight so pursued them.
Sakura had noticed it and canceled the Jutsu. She saw Sasuke run off after Gaara without looking to the Audience, which several of them were really sound Nin in Disquise. ANBU was quick to respond, no one really knowing where the Genjustu came from. Sakura quickly found Kakashi, her sensei, and asked, "Kakashi, whats going on?"
"It's a sound invasion, I want you to wake up Naruto and Shikimaru. You will go in pursuit of Sasuke and bring him back here, understood?" Kakashi said.
"Hai," Sakura nodded as she ran off and woke up Naruto.
"Dispel," She said waking him up.
"What happened?" asked NAruto, "did I fall asleep?"
"You were affected by a Genjutsu, Kakashi told me to wake you and Shikamaru up and follow after Sasuke," Sakura said.
"A mission?" Naruto perked up, "Alright, lets go."
Sakura walked over to Shikamaru and used Dispell, but nothing happened. He was still motionless on the ground, "does this mean he...," Sakura almost started to cry until Naruto kicked him.
"Get up you lazy bastard, we got a job to do!" Shikamaru got up holding his side.
"How troublesome," he said nodding his head.
"You mean you were pretending to be dead so you wouldn't have to do anything?" yelled Sakura.
"Lets just go do whatever it is we need to," Shikamaru said shaking his head.
"Fine!" Yelled Sakura as the three took off. It was easy to follow Sasuke's trail since they didn't bother to cover it.
Kakashi and Gai were fighting side by side. Already their troubles grew when sand had arrived. What was worse is the Kazakage was really Orichimaru in disguise. They could only continue to fight full strength and hopefully find a way to reach the Hokage before it is to late.
As soon as the Attack commensed, the Kazekage threw a Kunai at the Hokage, and he yelled out, "erect the Barriar!" and four Ninja jumped on the for corners of the building the Kage's stood on, did some seals and a large purple barrier encased the fighters. Also they put barriars around themselves so they wouldn't be killed in the fight.
"Who are you?" Sarutobi said.
"Don't you recognize your old student?" came a snakey voice revealing the Kazakage was really Orichimaru.
