a) After Temari and Kankuro defeated the sound ninja, why didn't they go help Gaara and then Naruto? Shikamaru and Temari at the very least since Kiba and akamaru were more injured. That makes zero sense for them to just give up.
b) Really, Tsunade couldn't spare ONE Jonin or even Chunin to back up the team? "We can't spare anyone for a day" What a terrible leader, is she considering the risk of someone like Sasuke going to Orochimaru and the damage that could have? We saw Guy goofing off with Tsunade while Lee was fighting Kimimaro?
