Of course, those damn scrolls! Still moving at the third gate's speed, my leg muscles beginning to tear, I throw shuriken at the scrolls wrapped around the wire to kill the heat. My right quadricep tears, leaving me with one leg to jump and use the bit of energy from the opening the gates to use a real shuriken shadow clone jutsu, all aiming for the wire and clones controlling them. My speed kept me alive. One last leap and I'm back in the clearing, guessing what you're going to do, but in no shape to stop it as I have to take my last chakra cigarette. Sitting on the ground, then rolling onto my stomach and dragging myself to an outcropping of rocks, too tired to do anything about the insects, and pissed that I didn't damage the dome after taking the huge risk.

(Until now, I restrained myself from rushing in to any attack. But you've got to test the limits sometime.)
