After the preliminary were over, Tetsuya was approached by his students to train them harder during the one month rest period.
Tetsuya accepted but on third day of their training, Yuzume asked Sasuke to train with him. Sasuke accepted after being told by Tetsuya that he needed to control his sharingan better.
Later that day, Tetsuya was called to the Hokage's office. Jiraya and the third hokage were waiting for him there.
Jiraya huh? He probably want to get Naruto to train with him.
That's fine with me since that's what I planned to do anyway.
After greetings were done, Jiraya asked him if he could get to train Naruto
Tetsuya accepted and after a brief discussion about Naruto's progress on Kyubi's chakra, Tetsuya proposed Jiraya that he teach Naruto the rasengan since he could learn it quickly by using shadow clones.
Jiraya then left to find Naruto.
The third hokage asked Tetsuya about the curse seal of Sasuke.
After explaining the situation to the third Hokage, he was surprised that Tetsuya could kill Orochimaru even if it was just a soul fragment. So after considerations, the third hokage decided to call in Anko since she was still afflicted with the curse seal.
Anko was then called into the hokage's office.
After a short explanation, Anko was quite happy to finally be able to get rid of the curse seal.
Tetsuya then proceeded to extract the soul fragment and immeditaly killed it.
As the curse seal was removed, Anko finally let out a sigh of relief and thanked him.
She then proceeded to hug him. Tetsuya was quite surprised since it was his first time being touched by a woman in this world.
Tetsuya wanted to tell her to get off him but his mouth refused to open so he just stood there.
While Tetsuya was gone to the Hokage's office, the sound trio tried to kill Karin under the order of Orochimaru since she was training alone in the Training ground because she was a tracking ninja and was aware of Orochimaru's chakra which could be problematic for his plans. Orochimaru misjudged her strength since all she did was throw an explosive kunai when they fought.
Karin was able to defeat them easily and binded them with Adamantine Chains to prevent them from escaping.
After Tetsuya came back, He sent the sound trio to the T&I department to probe their brain.
Tetsuya was disappointed since they didn't have much information about Orochimaru nor they had information about the invasion since they were just disposable pawn.
At least, they were able to confirm that the sound village was Orochimaru's village so they tried to hunt down the sound Jonin who came with the sound trio but he was nowhere to be found.
…
29th August year 63 of Konoha.
During this period of time, Naruto and Sasuke were both trained by other people so Tetsuya just had to train Karin.
He also also stuck with her most of the time since Orochimaru might send other people to try and kill her.
Tetsuya finally decided to teach Karin the herculean strength that Tsunade used since Karin's chakra control finally reached the level required to use it. He also tried to get the yin seal but apparently, it was Tsunade's original technique so the clan didn't have it.
He also checked on Naruto and Sasuke's progress from time to time.
Naruto was able to complete the rasengan in 3 days since he used tons of clones and had much better chakra control than in the original.
He also signed a summoning contract with Mount Myoboku since he knew that his father was a contractor there. Unexpectedly, He summoned Gamaken instead of Gamabunta so things went much more smoothly.
During the rest of his training, He just learned how to create a bigger rasengan. Naruto could withstand the one tail tailed-beast coat now
As for Sasuke, He did serious sparring with Yuzume to help him control the curse mark and his sharingan better. He also started heavy physical training since Tetsuya promised him the Lightning chakra mode when his physique could keep up.
…
On the night of 29th august, Kabuto and Baki finally met up on certain roof.
Tetsuya already asked Karin to monitor those two's chakra so that when they meet up, she should tell him.
Tetsuya then proceeded to hide nearby them and immediately found Gekko Hayate also monitoring them.
This dude has an invisibility kekkei genkai so why is he so easy to find?
He immediately approached Hayate and prompted him to keep quiet. After explaining in sign language that he was suspicious of them too, Hayate understood and both of them eavesdropped quietly.
As Baki and Kabuto's conversation was finished, they asked Hayate to come out since they already sensed him. Tetsuya told him to serve as a distraction since he himself wasn't caught.
As Hayate came out, He immediately rushed towards Baki with his sword. Baki who was arrogant just stood there waiting for him but Tetsuya immediately activated his Lightning Chakra mode to attack Kabuto first since he was the bigger threat.
With the combination of Lightning chakra mode's speed and Kiba's sharp sword, Kabuto didn't even have time to react and was slashed.
Seeing Kabuto instantly slashed, Baki who was panicked couldn't activate his jutsu to protect himself against Hayate's sword and was cut in deeply.
Kabuto died instantly while Baki was agonizing on the ground.
Well, that's a load of my shoulders since there won't be Edo Tensei Madara in the future.
I should still make contingency plan just in case.
Tetsuya then went to the T&I department with Kabuto's corpse and Baki to probe their brain for information while Hayate went to the Hokage's office to report.
…
The day after.
The information about the invasion were revealed and a Jonin meeting was soon taking place. They learned that the fourth Kazekage was already dead from Kabuto's memories so Suna was just Orochimaru's pawn from the beginning.
After they learned of Danzo's involvement in the matter, they decided to not cancel the chunin exams since they could use this opportunity to get rid of two S-rank missing ninja of konoha at once and demand war reparations from Suna afterwards further crippling them in the future even if they were just pawns.
A plan was soon made on how to deal with the upcoming Konoha crush.
