Better not get involved in this. As for the genjutsu, he would wait for it to dispel on its own.
As his thoughts drifted, Chiba still chose to proceed according to the original plan.
Although the original plan had been full of flaws, unreliable and even somewhat forced, now that an intruder had entered before Chiba and brazenly left behind a whole area of people trapped in genjutsu, Chiba's original plan could be called quite perfect.
