Rasengan!
Though he was not yet proficient with it, Naruto Uzumaki could already use the Rasengan!
Then—
"Huh?"
He passed right through the enemy.
The attack had failed.
"Could I still be inside a Genjutsu...?!"
Naruto Uzumaki turned around, only to see that Sakura Haruno was equally stunned.
"Alright, time's up."
Sparkle's voice came from behind them.
She was still standing where she had been.
And the Sparkle before Naruto Uzumaki's eyes had merely been an illusion.
"The moment you fell under the Genjutsu, Miss Fire Sparkle switched your positions. You thought you had been moving forward the whole time, but... you had actually gone in completely opposite directions."
Yamato stepped out.
"How could that be? How could we not have noticed—ah...!"
Sakura Haruno suddenly realized something.
Sparkle had kept emphasizing "time."
After breaking free from the Genjutsu, they had been guided by words and then plunged into anxiety.
At that time, their minds had been entirely focused on attacking.
They had fallen for it from the very beginning. There had never been any chance of victory...

[5][Did you notice? Even the setup inside the Genjutsu had a pattern. When Sakura first used Super Strength to punch the ground, it did nothing at all. Then, after returning to the real world, Sakura never used Super Strength again.]
[5][Holy shit, that's another detail. Incredible.]
[5][Confirmed, Sparkle is the protagonist of the new arc.]
[5][Not necessarily. This role feels more like Aizen's, 233.]
[5][Pretty different, though. I think she's more like Fairy Tail's Erza
