The next day
As soon as Sasuke wakes up in the Uchiha household in the morning at 5:00 a.m., the first thing he does is get ready for today's day and the Bell Test with Kakashi.
He started preparing his breakfast by entering the kitchen and started by frying eggs and baking bread for a bread omelet and taking out orange juice in the juicer.
After that, he changed into his normal high-caller blue T-shirt and white shorts.
And started wrapping white cloth tape around his thighs for tying his kunai and Shuriken holster
After that, he ate his breakfast and left the dishes in the sink for later washing.
Then he wore his blank sandal and locked his house before going to the training ground.

Naruto POV
When Naruto woke up the next day, the first thing he did was to look at the storage seals he had made just above both of his palms the previous afternoon when his team left his house and started practicing fuinjutsu.
The seals that were made on human skin took longer to settle but are much more durable than the seals that were made on paper or a scroll.
The seals have settled properly and are ready for storage
The one that was above his left hand was to store his sealing supplies, and the one above his right palm was to store his weapons, such as kunai and shuriken, etc.
After checking his seals, he went to the bathroom and started getting ready for the bell test. As soon as he came out of the bathroom and opened his kitchen drawer to prepare breakfast, he found nothing but instant ramen.
After seeing this, he was very thankful to Kurama and his chakra for keeping him alive and healthy during this time.
He decided that after the belt test he will need to buy proper fruits and vegetables for his meals and proper clothing instead of his orange outfit.

Sakura POV
After waking up for the day, the first thing she did was cut up her long pink hair into the same style that she had after the Chunin exams.
And then she started preparing for the day and went down to have breakfast with her parents.
"Hi, Mom. Can you prepare me breakfast with 4 eggs, 4 pieces of bread, and a glass of orange juice?"
"But aren't you on a diet to impress Sasuke kun, and what did you do to your hair?" Sakura's mom said with shock in her voice.
After hearing what her mom said, Sakura was forced to think about what type of ninja she wanted to become at this age.
"Mom, I'm no longer on a diet to impress Sasuke. I did cut my hair because I thought what would happen if an enemy ninja caught me using my long hair and tried to kill me. Did you think about what would happen?"
Sakura said
After hearing what she said, her mom went inside the kitchen to prepare her breakfast and soon came out with a plate full of orange juice, four omelets, and bread.
After eating her breakfast, she bid goodbye to her parents and went to Training Ground 7.
...
Training ground 7
Training ground 7 was a training ground outside the walls of Kanoha, towards the south.
It was one of the largest training grounds in and outside of Konoha. If it wasn't used by genin teams for their training, it was mostly used by jonin who were trying to create new jutsu or practice A or S rank jutsu.
It consists of 3 entrances from the north, south, and west sides of the training ground.
And in the middle of the trading ground, there were three stumps.
And on the middle stump was sitting Kakashi, waiting for his students. Soon, all three of his students were coming from each entrance of the trading ground.
Naruto from North
Sasuke from the East
Sakura from the West
"So I take it that you all are ready for the bell test and have prepared well," Kakashi said with his typical eye smile.
"Yes," they all said at the same time
"But today there will be no belt test for you all," Kakashi said, shocking all three of them.
" what " Naruto ,sasuke and Sakura said at the same time
Saying Kakashi said, "You will have to understand that the Bell Test was designed to test new genin's teamwork and to check how new teammates can work together."
You all are from the future, and you were considered to have the best teamwork, equal to the sanin. All three of you know each other's every move.
Naruto and Sasuke, your duo is considered to be the best duo that came out of Konoha from its founding, and you both work well with Sakura and know each other's moves, so the Bell Test is pointless for all of you.
"We know that your teamwork is very good, and you all can work well with each other, trusting each other with your lives."
Today, we are here to check what you all can do in your younger bodies and more importantly, what you cannot do.
For me, it is easy to get back in shape because my body is already developed and can easily adapt to a hard training regimen.
But your body is still developing, and it will take years for your body to fully develop.
So today each one of you will fight me individually to check at what level you all are at.
First, the one who will be fighting me is Sakura, then Sasuke, then Naruto.
Naruto and Sasuke go and wait on the side while I test Sakura first.
After saying that Kakashi moved down from the stump, Naruto and Sasuke went to the other side of the training ground.
After both Naruto and Sasuke reached the sidelines, Kakashi called, "Naruto, give the start of the fight."
As soon as Naruto shouted "Three, two, one, go!"
First Fight: Kakashi vs. Sakura
Kakashi's stance was relaxed but alert, his years of experience making him a formidable opponent even for someone who knew his moves from the future. Sakura, aware of her limitations, took a deep breath and settled into her fighting stance.
"Ready, Sakura?" Kakashi asked, his tone calm.
Sakura nodded, her eyes fixed on her sensei. Without warning, she dashed forward, her speed at mid-genin level. Kakashi effortlessly sidestepped her initial punch, but Sakura quickly followed up with a low sweep kick, forcing Kakashi to jump back.
"Impressive," Kakashi commented, his eye narrowing as he assessed her movements.
Sakura pressed on, attempting to land a solid hit with her super strength technique. Her punch missed, hitting the ground instead and causing a small crater. Kakashi's eyes widened slightly, recognizing the danger of her attacks.
Kakashi countered with a quick jab, but Sakura blocked it, albeit barely. She felt the strain on her muscles as she tried to make her body react as her future self would. Gritting her teeth, she launched another powerful punch, but Kakashi deftly dodged and landed a light tap on her shoulder, indicating a hit.
"You're overthinking, Sakura. Your body isn't ready for the moves your mind knows," Kakashi advised, stepping back.
Sakura took a deep breath, realizing the truth in his words. She focused on simplifying her tactics, relying more on her instincts than on her memories. With renewed determination, she launched another series of attacks. While Kakashi continued to dodge and deflect, he noticed the subtle improvement in her movements.
Sakura managed to get close again, feinting a punch and aiming a kick at Kakashi's midsection. Kakashi blocked but was momentarily off balance. Seizing the opportunity, Sakura used her super strength technique once more, striking the ground and causing a shockwave that forced Kakashi to jump back further than anticipated.
"Good, you're learning," Kakashi said with a hint of pride.
But despite her improvements, Kakashi's experience and reflexes were still superior. He closed the distance quickly, feinted a punch before sweeping Sakura's legs out from under her. As she fell, Kakashi's hand lightly tapped her forehead.
"Match over," he declared.
Breathing heavily, Sakura nodded, acknowledging her defeat but also feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Second Fight: Kakashi vs. Sasuke
As Sakura stepped back, Sasuke Uchiha took her place. His Sharingan eyes glowed with anticipation, scanning Kakashi for any sign of movement. Kakashi knew Sasuke's potential and the burden of his future memories. This fight would be different.
"Ready, Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, his tone was unchanged.
Sasuke nodded, his gaze unwavering. He moved first, his mid-chunin level speed evident as he closed the gap between them in an instant. Kakashi blocked Sasuke's initial strike, feeling the intensity behind it. Sasuke followed up with a series of swift punches and kicks, his Sharingan analyzing Kakashi's every move.
Kakashi matched Sasuke's speed, countering and deflecting each strike with precision. Sasuke's frustration grew; his Sharingan allowed him to predict Kakashi's movements, but his body couldn't keep up with the advanced techniques he knew.
"Don't let your eyes deceive you," Kakashi advised, his voice steady.
Sasuke gritted his teeth, channeling his energy into a Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu. Kakashi easily countered with a Water Style: Water Wall, extinguishing the flames. Sasuke switched tactics, using his knowledge to perform a series of hand seals for a more complex C-rank jutsu.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" he shouted, sending multiple small fireballs towards Kakashi.
Kakashi evaded them with ease, but Sasuke had anticipated this, using the fireballs as a distraction to close in. He launched a series of shuriken, forcing Kakashi to block. In that split second, Sasuke was upon him, aiming a Chidori-style punch, though it lacked the full power of the technique.
Kakashi sidestepped and delivered a swift strike to Sasuke's shoulder, sending him skidding back. "Your strategy is good, but your execution needs work," Kakashi said, his tone instructional.
Frustrated but not defeated, Sasuke activated his Mangekyo Sharingan fully, his eyes tracking Kakashi's movements with even greater precision. He knew he couldn't win with raw power, so he tried to outthink Kakashi, using his superior perception to predict and counter his sensei's attacks.
Their battle intensified, with Sasuke gradually improving his timing and coordination. He managed to land a few glancing blows, but Kakashi remained dominant. Finally, with a swift and decisive movement, Kakashi disarmed Sasuke and placed a kunai at his throat.
"Match over," Kakashi declared, lowering the weapon and stepping back.
Breathing heavily, Sasuke deactivated his mangekyo Sharingan and normal sharingan and nodded, accepting the outcome.
Third Fight: Kakashi vs. Naruto
Naruto Uzumaki stepped up, his usual exuberance tempered by the seriousness of the situation. Kakashi watched him carefully, knowing Naruto's unpredictable nature and the immense potential that he held.
"Ready, Naruto?" Kakashi asked.
Naruto grinned, his blue eyes shining with determination. "You bet, Kakashi-sensei!"
Naruto moved first, his mid-chunin level speed surprising Kakashi for a moment. He launched a barrage of punches and kicks, his future fighting style evident in his movements. Kakashi blocked and countered, but Naruto's relentless energy kept him on his toes.
Naruto quickly formed a hand seal, creating several shadow clones. They attacked in unison, forcing Kakashi to stay on the defensive. The clones coordinated their movements, displaying a level of tactical thinking that was unusual for the younger Naruto.
Kakashi dispatched the clones with a series of precise strikes, but Naruto had used the distraction to prepare a jutsu. "Wind Style: Gale Palm!" he shouted, sending a powerful gust of wind towards Kakashi.
Kakashi countered with Earth Style: Mud Wall, blocking the wind attack. Naruto didn't let up, forming a couple hundred more clones to distract Kakashi while he gathered sage chakra. Kakashi noticed this and decided to increase the pressure, forcing Naruto to adapt quickly.
Naruto's clones engaged Kakashi, buying time for the main Naruto to enter Sage Mode. The clones fell one by one, but they had served their purpose. Naruto's eyes shifted, the pupils turning from bright sky blue to golden, and he gained red markings around and under his eyes in a tear-falling pattern, and an aura of natural energy surrounded him.
"Sage Mode, huh?" Kakashi remarked, a hint of admiration in his voice.
He was not sure that Naruto would be able to access this ability quite yet with his week body.
Naruto's speed and strength increased dramatically. He launched himself at Kakashi, who managed to block the initial punch. The force behind it was immense, pushing Kakashi back. Naruto followed up with a series of rapid, powerful strikes, keeping Kakashi on the defensive.
Kakashi realized he needed to end the fight quickly. He used his superior speed and tactics to outmaneuver Naruto, waiting for an opening. Naruto, sensing this, decided to go all out. He created a Rasengan, the energy swirling in his palm.
"Sage Art: Rasengan!" Naruto shouted, charging at Kakashi.
Kakashi responded with a strategic retreat, using substitution jutsu to evade Naruto's Rasengan. Kakashi then appeared behind Naruto, swiftly delivering a precise strike to the back of Naruto's knee. The blow, coupled with Kakashi's strategic positioning, caused Naruto to stumble forward, his Rasengan dissipating harmlessly into the air.
"Naruto, it's over," Kakashi said calmly but firmly, with a kunai at his neck.
Naruto turned around, breathing heavily, his Sage Mode still active, but he realized the fight had reached its conclusion. He nodded slowly, acknowledging Kakashi's victory.
As soon as the fight was over, Sakura and Sasuke came near to see that Naruto was breathing heavily, trying to catch his breath, and his sage markings were disappearing around his eyes. Kakashi-sensei was also trying to catch his breath.
