Sakura's Decision!! (volume)

Synopsis
For the second phase of the exams, the remaining teams of three must survive the Forest of Death and arrive at its center in five days' time. Soon after they entered the forest, Team 7 was attacked by Orochimaru. Naruto engaged him in battle, although was quickly defeated. Sasuke, inspired by Naruto's determination, continued the battle in Naruto's place, and defeated Orochimaru. Before escaping, and as a reward for his success, Orochimaru branded Sasuke with a cursed seal, knocking him out. Sakura, the only conscious member of the team, was forced to look after her teammates and defend them from the attacks of Orochimaru's followers. As she was about to be defeated, Team 10 arrived to help, allowing Sakura to return to attending to Naruto and Sasuke as the others dealt with her attackers.
