Yoroi's still working his Chakra-draining Jutsu as everybody else looks on. Orochimaru remarks on Yoroi's special trick, and if he sucks it all out, Sasuke's got nothing left but the Curse Mark. Sasuke digs deep to kick Yoroi off, who tells Sasuke if he just lies back this'll all be over in a second. Sasuke ducks his first couple of grabs, before barely catching a piece of him and draining more Chakra. Gaara's less than impressed by Sasuke's performance. Naruto tries some well-meaning but obnoxious encouragement, which Sasuke ignores, but seeing Rock Lee stand next to him seems to turn a wheel in the Uchiha's brain. Yoroi charges up his Chakra-stealing hand again, but this time Sasuke still seems prepared. He's got his second wind, dodging Yoroi's attacks, but nobody seems very hopeful - until Sasuke uses Lee's own stunt from earliy, he vanishes and then reappears with a monster kick to send Yoroi flying. Sasuke's not a total copycat, though, as everything else from here on out is all him. He lauches himself behind Yoroi, and tries to go for some Chakra-based attack again, against the advice of his ninja physician. The Curse Mark erupts on Sasuke, and it takes Naruto being loud to embolden Sasuke to shove the Curse Mark down. YEAH!
Everybody's impressed, including your humble author. His trick done, Yoroi's kind of hapless now. Sasuke leg-scissors his foe and then windmills Yoroi with blows on the way down to the ground, (Barrage of LIONS!) where Yoroi craters. Hayate unsuprisingly calls it in favor of Sasuke. Kakashi poofs down (complete with Make-Out Paradise in hand), congratulating Sasuke on his win, but nothing that Sasuke copied Lee (or, really, Guy's) taijutsu with the Sharingan. Naruto expresses his pleasure by shouting down insults, and we can be glad some things don't change. Sasuke inwardly acknowledges it was watching Lee fight that saved him, but Lee notices that Sasuke only copied the part he saw. Lee's impressed, and even a little trepidatious. He reminds Guy of Kakashi when the latter was a kid, which is a huge compliment. Tenten speculates between Neji or Sasuke being stronger. Anko's impressed he could bring the Curse Mark under control. Gaara looks ready to flay somebody, but that's nothing new. Squad Ten is Squad Ten, and Squad Eight doesn't do anything terribly suprising, either. Orochimaru looks like he's about to soil himself in happiness. Kakashi waves off the ninja paramedics, taking Sasuke back to seal his Curse Mark, over Sasuke's protests to wanting to stay and watch. Naruto finally notices Sasuke's bruise, and asks Sakura, but she keeps her promise about not telling.
We now welcome two new challengers! The Electronic Billboard of Fate kicks out the Sound Shinobi Zaku vs. Eight's bug-nerd Shino. It is pretty hardcore Zaku just had his arms broken by Cursed Sasuke and still can fight. Hinata's worried about her teammate, but Ziba's not worried - he'd fight anybody but Shino. Dosu's ready to watch Zaku throw down, but Orochimaru apparently couldn't care less. Shino tells him to withdraw, but Zaku says he's got one arm left and that's more than enough. Not according to Shino, who blocks the blow, and gets his Slicing Sound Wave in the face. In the back, Kakashi's painting Sasuke with what I hope is ink for the sealing process. He makes some mystic hand signs, and slams the Curse Sealing Jutsu onto Sasuke's Mark. It's just like Naruto's now. Fascinating. The Sealing Jutsu is based off of Sasuke's willpower. Very Green Lantern. Sasuke takes this chance to pass out. Someone's quite amused by how Kakashi's changed... and it's Orochimaru! Oh, snap.
