Sakura frowned as it appeared that Dosu saw through the illusion, but she had not been prepared to let that stop her as she quickly formed some hand signs before the soundwave struck.
"Ninja Art: Dark Veil Jutsu!"
Sakura was seemingly struck by the sound wave and knocked into the darkness of the tunnel which seemed to intensify or at least her body seemed to be masked by it. Which was what actually happened, as Sakura's body disappeared within the shadows of the tunnel and masked her visual presence as she moved through it; careful not to make a sound as she moved behind Dosu as she grabbed a pair of kunai and tossed them at his back before she moved to a different area.
If the kunai hit Dosu, great. Sakura thought to herself as it would do damage and perhaps crippling damage if she was lucky. If Sakura's kunai were noticed then Dosu would block them and his focus to find her should give Zaku an opportunity to blast him.
"Okay, I think I got him!"
Ino finished using Tomiko's former cast bandages to wrap the limp Kou onto her back as Tomiko stood up. It took a minute to adjust, given Kou being unconscious made him harder to carry given her injuries but soon she gave a nod to Ino and began to walk away with Kou on her back. Before she left she offered the trio words of encouragement as Ino drew a kunai and moved next to Zaku to battle.
"Go kick that mummy boy's ass!"

Minato and Kushina realized the predicament they were in and had to act quickly. So with a nod the two decided to take each opponent one at a time as Kushina hopped on Fukusura as the frog air kicked away from the Rashamon and moved in the path of the water tendrils that Tobirama generated. Kushina was quick to form some hand signs in response.
"Sealing Shield: Uzumaki Barrier!"
Soon enough a large seal of the Uzumaki Clan appeared on Fukusura's head under Kushina's feet that soon expanded a red barrier around Kushina and Fukusura. Unlike Minato, who while having grown more skilled was no master in the Uzumaki arts, Kushina was a prodigy as her barrier proved far stronger than the one Minato used earlier. As such, even as the tendrils violently slammed against the barrier they broke against it and failed to leave a scratch.
Kushina had to act quickly. In a full on fight with a Kage it was much to ask her to prevail so she needed to use this opportunity and Orochimaru's control of him that limited his individual capabilities to her advantage. Using her own Edo-Tensei properties of limitless chakra, she quickly formed new hand signs to form a follow-up jutsu.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Kushina unleashed the famed Uzumaki chains at the Edo-Tensei Kage while Fukusura air kicked closer to the target. Kushina's intent simply and clear; ensnare the Kage and seal him so that Orochimaru could no longer use him against Minato or the village.
"We'll need a minute for the fusion. Can you hold on Minato boy?" Pa asked Minato who simply gave a nod to this. While Ma & Pa prepared themselves Minato pulled a pair of marked kunai and charged Kushina and the snake summons.
First, Minato tossed a kunai directly at Kin before he jumped after it. Kunai held in his mouth as he formed some hand signs to prepare a jutsu. The Giant Rasangan as a large sphere of chakra appeared in Minato's free hand as he continued his advance. Minato then tossed his second kunai as it crashed into the first one which knocked it over the snakes & Kin. Minato moved closer and closer as he was inches from Kin's claws & snake swords and seemingly on a path to get impaled or clashing against his Giant Rasengan.
Woosh!
Before he flashed to the kunai above Kin and struck from overhead to the base of her back with the Giant Rasengan as he aimed to try and take the Jinchuriki out with one powerful blow. The longer this went on the more of a disadvantage he'd be in. If he could take one Jinchuriki out it would only better Kushina & his own odds of stopping that monster.
