Summary: It's Sasuke's second day in his journey to see the different people around him.

Different Sakura

No matter how many times he complains, the Hokage didn't grant him even a one day leave. On the second day on the universe he's been pulled in, he went to his brother's office too request that he wants to go in Mist Village to investigate the origin that caused this journey. In his dismay, the Hokage refused, the younger Uchiha protested on how Itachi don't consider his situation, but the older brother answered him he is running a village and he have priorities.

Like the older days, Sasuke sulked at his brother's unfriendly attitude if it comes to call of duty, but deep inside he misses him. Instead of letting him go to the Mist Village to take care of his problem, he asked him a favor to replace Shikamaru's duty for tomorrow's important event: The Chunin Exam.

The 26 year old man just learned that tomorrow is an important day to all aspirant ninjas to apply for a Chunin Exam. The designated facilitator, who is Nara Shikamaru cannot be present for the day, this is for the reason he was affected by a viral infection in his last mission. The exam facilitator was declared strictly not to work for the next days and was confined in the hospital for days.

As Karin advised, he went to the library in Ninja Academy to research. He didn't expect to walk on the section where you can find the archived copies of Konoha Times newspapers. He decided to read them first, he never had the idea that if he needs to catch up on this place, Newspapers will help. He found out that the Uchiha Sasuke in this universe was a 19 year old hero and one of the most trusted people that support Itachi as Hokage. He already earned the Jonin rank as a shinobi of Konohagakure. And also he was appointed as Itachi's official bodyguard; it made him smile on reading that news. Since the Uchiha brothers got close again after major revelations in Itachi's past and earned the trust of the village they both abandoned, they're doing their best to ensure the safety of everyone. Itachi being the village leader and Sasuke as his protector. "That's so good to be true." Sasuke murmured after reading one article about their bond. "But these are all dream." He is actually depressed on how beautiful it can be if this place is all true. Because he will be busy for the day for the preparation of Chunin Exam, he didn't stay long in the library.

No one can be a better replacement for Shikamaru. Regardless if he promised Itachi that he'll fuck things up, they will proceed. The hand-over was made this morning, he visited Shikamaru to explain what he wanted to happen in exam and Sasuke is internally cursing his current position. He should be in the forest, doing his duty, instead of some administrative work. He went to his sensei's place after visiting Shikamaru.

Kakashi's House

"Brother told me I had partial memories lost." That's what Itachi wants me to tell everyone. Sasuke thought, he explained what happened yesterday to the man with a white hair, wearing a half mask. He was just chillin' in his yard, when some suspicious man barged inside, though he knew already that it was his student. Sasuke had a deal with Itachi to never tell anyone his situation or else it will cause more trouble if the genjutsu who casted it is someone hiding behind the scenes, so he should be careful. No matter how close he is to the person even it is his trusted sensei who is Kakashi, Sasuke need to keep his secre. The only person who knew he is from different universe was his brother and for now he will keep it that way.

"Usually, you can undo a genjutsu and get out once you figured out you're under the illusion." Kakashi said, reading the sample questionnaire on the written exam for tomorrow.

"Ahh." He said, both of them are sitting on the wooden floor in Kakashi's backyard.

"Sasuke are you really sure you will put this on the written exam? This is a situational type for s-class ninjas. And they're just applying for intermediate positions." Kakashi explained, doubting Sasuke on how he is curious at this point about Tsukuyomi, he started their conversation by asking how unique a genjutsu will work. In fact, since Sasuke approached him earlier he was in doubt. He knew that this chicken butt haired boy never ask for his opinion unless he will teach him new jutsu. He is prideful and even he knew he have some respect to him, he still the same student that is full of himself. Well it is different today, he talks like he's older than him, and in a more mature manner, he doesn't scowl at his jokes unlike his usual reaction, and he don't reply with sarcastic comments, he's totally different.

"Ahh, what do you think is the right answer on this one." Pointing out an item on the written paper to Kakashi.

"In order to get out of Tsukuyomi it's either figure it yourself to release it or someone should pull you out from the person who will see you unconscious." His sensei answered, sounds uninterested.

"Just out curiosity, is there a tsukuyomi made by a Rinnegan and can be undone by a normal sharingan?" He asked in a hope of Kakashi will just think he is just relearning things with him by giving the excuse of discussing the sample questionnaires for tomorrow.

"It depends on the level; I had a fight with a mangekyo user, and I'm talking about your brother. A normal sharingan versus a mangekyo is a downfall to a sharingan user but in my opinion, if the wielder is too strong, without a rinnegan, I think an escape route it is possible." Kakashi's answer is relieving for Sasuke though he can't tell him he's experiencing the actual situation.

"I see; some kind of a deviation even without the same eye." Sasuke concluded, it was his same opinion but if it comes from someone as skilled as Kakashi, it was a good assurance of his theory.

"Is that the only reason you come here? I mean, checking with me about the written exam tomorrow." Kakashi interrupted him.

"Yeah. Did I really bother you?" He said, diverting the topic by giving a sarcastic question. "I also talked to the Jonin one by one about Shikamaru's situation, telling them to report everything tomorrow to me. I gave them brief orientation on their duties since they will be the examiners." Sasuke said and Kakashi noticed his blackened eye bags, proof that he didn't had a good sleep last night. The man consumes so much stress in this place. "I'd seen everyone in the Jonin list except to Naruto - I can understand if it's him, but..."

"Uhuh?" Kakashi raised his brow, notices his student's hesitation, but Sasuke really wants to know.

"S-Sakura... She is… why she is not in the list? I know it's stupid to ask but I don't know what happened to her... She is 19 years old right?" He asked like a newborn baby, no idea to the close friends around him.

Right, he said earlier he lost his memories about his rouge days until now. Kakashi thought. "Yes she didn't become a Jonin." Kakashi answered, observing his student's reaction. "When was your latest memory?" This is bad; did someone steal Sasuke's memories? He's actually suspicious, he don't act like he lost his genuine memories. Kakashi thought, though he wasn't confident about his inner thoughts.

"I'm not sure. But I know people's name, and places." He said, expecting he will believe him. "Don't tell anyone about my memory loss." He said, avoiding eye contact to him and Kakashi nodded in response.

"Sasuke, even I want to tell you... Sakura is - her status isn't something we should talk about. It will be safe if you will ask your brother."

"Why?" He quickly asked, astonished.

"Let's say… She is not a Konoha Ninja anymore." Kakashi cannot say anything about Sakura's situation and it makes Sasuke more curious on what happened to his young wife. He knew he cannot involve himself in the issues in this place even it involves Sakura. The priority is to get out of the tsukuyomi, and even it's impossible for his eye, his option is to find the jutsu to counter his situation. If he's lucky, someone from the outside must undo it to wake him up. The thing he worries if someone out there is absolutely capable, because he's the only one with Sharingan except for his baby girl. (He is sure of that since sharingan will always appear in every Uchiha child.) "Is it something bad?" It was a careful question; he knew his actions are prone to hurt Sakura back in the days.

"Yes. Sakura was demoted. And it's because of you." Kakashi said without a further explanation. Sadly, the idea at being at fault of someone's demotion makes him feel bad although it's not technically his fault. However the little guilt didn't go away, Sasuke is thinking how it happened because he will always be same character who can hurt her.

Sakura was demoted because of you. Kakashi's words never left. I shouldn't be bothered whatever happens in this village, I'll just do what I'm supposed to do until I can go back in the real time. Besides people and village here are not the real ones. Those words kept repeating in his mind like the worst music he ever heard. He is convincing himself it was alright not to care.

Chunin Exam

It was the day of the Chunin Exam and he is in the office observing each monitor in the room if everything on the plan was executed. Beside him is Ten-Ten who is seriously making the report in the computer that will be submitted to Itachi.

Sasuke observed there are things which remained the same; Ino is in relationship with his replacement in team Seven, which is Sai. He seen Choji's wife visited him while on a break and he thinks they're in a relationship at this stage. Sometimes he thinks how amusing this place he's been to, he was able to see his batch mates and he knew who will end up to whom.

It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon; he is drinking his tea, checking the written test result for the last stage of the 1st phase of exam. He is inside the room which used for the written examination; he waited there for the other examiners to submit the test results.

Someone is looking at me. He noticed. He is sure a pair of eyes is staring at him making him feel uncomfortable in his seat. On the right side where the door is open, he seen other chunin applicants who still not leaving the premises but chatting about their individual experiences. They are talking to their Jonin teachers who endorsed them for the application. He can't avoid not to listen about their remarks on how bad they did in answering the papers because the list of questions tells them like they don't want them to pass. He is looking through the windows, and seen the eyes behind its jalousie blinds. He thought it was another teacher who is checking up on the little kids on how they performed on their exam. Finally he spotted the face who is stealing glances at him for the past 5 minutes.

He looked carefully, hiding his eyes by pretending he is lifting the paper to read the written results. The way he's being watch isn't something dangerous, he feels someone just keep on looking at him with no intention of attacking him. He sees there were three kids in konoha ninja suits with the small petite girl wearing civilian dress. She's too fast to look away after he caught her eyes and he stared blankly at his table and felt a very strange feeling inside his chest.

So it's true. Sasuke thought. He takes a zip again into his teacup and simply takes a look at the side to check if she is looking at him again, this time she hides herself into the other examinees. It was a very simple body language on how she pretends to observe things around but still throwing glances at him. But Sasuke can tell that the girl thinks he doesn't mind their eye contact earlier but he will be in action once he got the opportunity.

Ino and Lee approach him, putting their reports on his table then he discusses their task for the next phase of the exam. He kept his cool attitude, on how he behave when he was 19, trying to be the usual young Sasuke as much as possible or else they will over react especially Ino. Their meeting lasted for 10 minutes, after they left; Sasuke took the hallway where the three genin are on their way to leave together with the girl. He popped behind her and she was surprised that he followed them.

"Ahhhhh!" He caught her wrist and moved away from her group.

"Shut up!" He whispered with a commanding tone, covering her mouth with his right hand to avoid in making a scene. Since he doesn't want a repeat on what happened when he first met her young version, he move inside the nearest examination room and he captured her wrists with his hands. He kicked the door to close so it will be the two of them inside. He pushed her to the wall making a loud sound. Fuck! I'm too brute! He got worried if he hurt her, but if he goes easy on her she will definitely smash him again if he let his guard down.

"Let go of me!" She screams.

"You've been avoiding me but keep on staring at me huh..." He said, locking his hands on her on the green board. She closes her eyes not to look at him until she feels his breath on her face.

"You should let me go." Commanded by the girl under him, closing her eyes not to be affected on his attractive scent.

"Sakura." When she looks up, a smirk appears in his lips, he is teasing her, but she replied with a glare. She looks like she's going to bite him anywhere if she had the chance.

"You became so weird and perverted ever since that time I punched you!" She yelled.

"Listen to me Sakura, I have something to tell you." He said, ignoring her accusations. This girl, the Sakura here is pushing me to my limits! But maybe if I tell her about the future, she will listen to me.

a/n: Yes that's right, Sakura is NOT the elite Medic-Nin here and of course there will be an explanation. I enjoy writing this, please review!
