I think this is pretty accurate, but I think Naruto and Kiba will stay behind to fight one of the sounds, while Shika pursues the other holding the coffin, in hopes of using his new Jutsu to stop the last sound long enough for the others to catch up and rescue sasuke.

Naruto and Kiba, having fought each other, should know how each other fights, thus making them a pretty deadly combo, maybe having naruto use Kage Bunshin and Kiba having Akumaru at his side.

I&#39;m sure Naruto&#39;s clone skills alongside Kiba&#39;s fighting style would be pretty deadly.

In the end, Shika is stuck with few seconds left while holding the sound, having no one from his team show up yet, he decides the best decision is either something EXTREMLY drastic, or to abandon sasuke, and save his team mates.
