[Sasuke POV]
I was going to build an industry with all the money looted from Gato and from the Uchiha territory sale.
As our team went back to the village, we were able to gain an A rank mission rating and did basic D rank missions again with occasional C-Ranks.
Even though I feel like an adult but having silly kids like Naruto and Sakura always cheered up my mood for the better.
We were able to make a good rivalry and I was able to enjoy this time between missions and roaming together bonding with these kids.
But as they say, good times pass away in a blink of an eye but bad times last forever.
Time passes and soon the time of Chunin exams was coming.

I had already awakened Eternal Mangekyo naturally after gaining enough Spiritual energy without the need to damage the eye nerves as I directly upgraded to Eternal Mangekyo with enough spirit power.
As Mangekyo awakens the powers that the person wishes for the most in his heart, what I wanted was to travel through the universe and go to different universe, so I was able to awaken the power to create a portal through space time through one eye and the other eye had power to travel through that space time portal without getting lost in it by having a co-ordinate system to view some scenes on the other side of portal beforehand or locating something with better ease.
(A/N : His second ability is useless for battles but is auxillary for space-time ninjutsus like Kaguya created cracks in space for going to different dimensions)
In the meantime, Naruto was able to learn the Rasengan using his one hand easily in these months of training.
He will be able to manage to survive now, along with his plot armour, no need for worrying about him dying.
I saw Kankuro picking up the kid called Konohamaru and trying to vent his frustration against Gaara and I played it cool like always by throwing a random stone grazing Kankuro's arms a bit.
Gaara like the current lunatic he was, was excited to see blood but manged to suppress his excitement.
Our Team later met Kakashi who gave us Chunin exam forms and we accepted it even though Sakura was a bit unsure.
After we were dismissed, I went along with Sakura.
Sasuke : "Don't worry about it little girl, daddy will protect you,ok?"😂
Sakura : "I am just worried that I will fail the whole team due to my mistake."
Sasuke grabbed her hand and said,
Sasuke : *acting sneaky* "I have gathered Intel on exam round 1, what you need to do is believe in me and do what I say ok?", as he told her about the content of the exam round1.
Sakura was stunned for a moment but I reassured her that she just needs to follow the plan to the end.
He had already taught her many common medical Ninjutsu, to not let her talent of perfect chakra control get wasted and after reassuring her while taking her through an alley and kissed her 😘 .
(A/N : Children these days are really bold enough)
Sakura was stunned for a moment and then became beat red and covered her face with her hands.
After she calmed down, Sasuke flicked her forehead and went back to his home for preparation in case he leaves with Orochimaru.
Sakura went away towards her home blushing.
Sasuke watched her reaching her home and then went away for his old business of "research" in bathhouses like Jiraya.
His encounter with Orochimaru and Itachi will be coming soon and he might have to leave the village in any case. His abilities might become known but he had to go along the plot to let things be foolproof, even though he could counter Obito's space time Ninjutsu as he will be able to get co-ordinates of his other world but Black Zetsu was still a hard nut to crack due to its high survivability and ability to pass through objects.
So, his enemies had reduced to only Black Zetsu and his army of White Zetsu Clones but Sasuke also wanted to fight against Kaguya Otsutsuki as the hidden dangers like Sage of Six-paths can only appear in that case and he was interested in seeing the dimension of dead and other Justus used by Kaguya.
He might be able to obtain her eyes as well and know more about the Otsutsuki clan and their techniques.
Chunin exams were held a week later and Sasuke upgraded himself to maximum and spent most of his EXP on different techniques and attributes in these days and prepared himself with explosive tags, kunai etc. in a sealing scroll and some good food.
--------------------Next day---------------------
Chunin exam site,
Team 7 was going towards the exam location and as Sasuke already knew of the Genjutsu on exam room, and played along as Lee challenged me.
I was looking forward to see his speed using Eight Hidden Inner Gates, so played along.
I didn't put him in Genjutsu because Guy will be watching from sidelines and I am not going to humiliate a hard-working person who trained from scratch unlike a RMB player like me, so after beating him up, he was all good and ready to fight me and surpass me.
Poor kid, didn't know about existence of RMB players. Behind that goofy talk is a strong will that he had made by training himself to extreme every day.
The power of consistency is the most powerful in this world but can it compare to a hacker who just changed the attributes of a game player in a single click?
With that, we went towards the real exam hall and followed the story, except in this case, Sakura was not nervous and believed in her teammate-crush while Naruto was able to overcome his fears on his own and followed canon like always.
(A/N : No changing Naruto. Naruto has Talk-No-Jutsu which can easily destroy any person.)
Later, we went towards the forest of death for the next exam.
We soon encountered the Orochimaru's team and Naruto was led away by a summoned snake as he went for a piss and Sakura was just being Sakura.
Sasuke and Sakura fought against Orochimaru (basically Sasuke only) as they used different techniques in a battle of wit instead of level of Chakra
After some time, Naruto came back and fought hard against Orochimaru along with me but was sent unconscious after some time, when Orochimaru finally decided to focus on Naruto first as he wrote another seal on top of existing seal on Naruto.
I made Sakura unconscious at the same time and put Orochimaru in Genjutsu.
I searched his memories and copied most of his memories and let him think that he planted a curse mark on me while I went away from this place with my teammates and did the subtle Genjutsu on Orochimaru also leaving a "suggestion" just like Itachi always did on Orochimaru for future battles.
Orochimaru knew that he had played a lot in this place and he had to leave soon, to avoid the Anbus and other teams from knowing his existence, so he also left thinking that his goal was done.
I had already learnt the way of making curse mark and with my seal knowledge, I could create an antiseal to extract his soul power in that antiseal after extracting it and then removing the empty senjutsu curse mark which won't work due to removal of soul-source but I did not have curse mark on me for now.
Sasuke took away his unconscious teammates to hide in a safe place.
Sakura soon woke up and found Sasuke, she was scared of the events that happened and instead of explaining things, Sasuke just let her understand the reality of her being the weakest of the team.
Sakura : "What happened Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke : "A few things happened dont worry about it."
Sasuke just gave her a glance and then unsealed some food from his storage scroll and started eating along with Sakura.
Then, he told Sakura to wait for some time and made a hiding seal and barrier seal to let her stay safe for a few hours and found random teams to take away their target scrolls.
Nothing bad happened in the mean time Sasuke went for the hunt of ninja scrolls and when Sasuke walked back, he removed those seals.
Sakura was a bit worried watching the seals go away but watching Sasuke come back she happily hugged him😘, which Sasuke also happily responded back and then told her about his experience in fighting other teams to pass the time. (Sticky kids)
Sasuke : "You are very weak as a ninja, Sakura. If you cannot become a chunin, then our team will have to break up sooner or later and we won't be able to stay as a team together."
Sakura got worried about it and the thought of breaking of their new formed relationship started to make her pale and got on verge of crying.
Sasuke had just told her the truth and she also knew about this sad reality of her being unable to become a part of the team.
Sasuke sighed as he knew she was just a commoner ninja and every commoner ninja has to work much more than others with right guidance to become a good ninja.
Sasuke and Naruto could easily defeat Chunin Brothers easily even in the original story on their first mission as 12-year olds. As Genins, they were as strong as a peak Chunin (according to standards of common ninjas).
In the time they had spent as a team even though he only considered her as a kid who needed some affection from someone else as she never had any friends for a long time.
He just stayed silent to keep company as she will have to make a resolve on her own.
Sakura got a hold of herself and became a bit determined after thinking of these things. Sasuke also filled her with some medical knowledge and passed the time as they waited for Naruto to wake up after getting the seal altered and using Nine-Tails power.
They spent time together for a day after which Naruto woke up and then they finally started their journey towards the central tower, they got attacked by many teams but they beat up those teams and went inside the tower.
After fighting their way to the tower, they rested till the end of trial time.
Later, preliminaries started and due to Naruto having enough Chakra due to resting these days, he was able to easily beat Kiba using his Shadow clones and Rasengan. Hinata gave medicine to Naruto after his fight with Kiba.
Sasuke told Naruto that Hinata was in love with him and was always shy in his presence. Naruto was stunned and then asked how he knew, which he shrugged it off as Naruto being an idiot which made Naruto angry😡 like always.
