March year 63 of konoha.

During this period of time, they steadily alterned between D and C-rank missions while training.

The training they did was mostly just sparring and teamwork formations. He gave them C-rank jutsu scrolls to learn but didn't teach them in depth since only Sasuke had attributes similar to him while Naruto had a wind nature and Karin had water nature, as to not play favorites.

One day as they were heading to the mission center, Tetsuya saw an old man with a towel on his shoulders so he immediately thought of Tazuna.

Ah yes, the land of waves mission.

Should I take the land of wave mission? If I don't go, some genin team will probably get themselves killed if they get scammed by Tazuna.

I could probably Kill Gato and steal his fortune but the village will probably question me since Gato is one the richest people in the world.

The best move is probably to tell Hiruzen that the mission rank was false and see how he deals with it.

After they went in, the third hokage proposed the mission to them but Tetsuya decided to snitch by mentioning that Gato was in control of the land of waves and he's probably hired ninjas.

Tazuna was quite panicked and immediately proceeded to beg the hokage by trying to guilt trip him.

…

After negotiations, the third hokage decided to take the mission and kill Gato in exchange for getting a percentage in the toll for crossing the new bridge.

The Hokage then sent a team of jonin to accomplish the mission.

Zabuza, Haku and the demon brothers decided to flee since taking a team of jonin was over their pay grade.

And so, the land of waves mission was successfully accomplished with Konoha now taking over all of Gato's assets. And the bridge was soon dubbed as "The Great Konoha Bridge".

Tetsuya finally managed to do senjutsu but still needed a small part of Katsuyu to stick on him to collect natural energy for him since he couldn't do it mid battle.

While he didn't have any physical change like Jiraya when using sage mode he still had the classic senjutsu eyes like Naruto and Hashirama.

According to his estimations, He now would be able to defeat Sage mode Jiraya since he now had Lightning Sage mode which was a combination of Senjutsu and the lightning chakra mode.

During this period of time, all of his students were able to at least use a C-rank jutsu of their own chakra nature.

Naruto and Karin were able to learn B-rank jutsus since they had the help of shadow clone and ample enough chakra to use them skillfully but Sasuke was unable to do so since his physique wasn't as good as the Uzumaki. So after consulting with Kakashi, He decided to teach sasuke the A-rank Chidori ahead of time.

Tetsuya decided to not teach the rasengan to Naruto since he needed something for Jiraya to do.

As Naruto was finally able to enter his inner world after Tetsuya urged him to try at least to communicate with Kurama, Naruto finally began to talk with him and was able to borrow some chakra.

Sasuke's Sharingan also evolved to the two tomoe during this period. As for Karin, She decided to learn medical ninjutsu since Tetsuya forbid her to use her body to heal others.

Also, during one of their mission to the land of river, they heard about a Kurosuki family ruling the Katabami gold mines so Naruto thought that they should help even though no such mission was given.

Tetsuya decided to let them do it themselves without any intervention since it would be a good test for them.

They were able to do it with relative ease since they became much stronger than their original selves in the anime.

Tetsuya decided to take the Kiba that Raiga was using for himself since Raiga decided to kill himself and the Kiba was definitely a huge upgrade for him.

Tetsuya also tried to recruit Ranmaru who was with Raiga but the boy decided to work in a curry shop instead.

Well, that's a bummer. That kid definitely had the Ketsuryugan so he would've made an excellent ninja.

But at least he chose a life of peace so that's good for him I guess.

…

Meanwhile in the desert

Orochimaru and Danzo were currently discussing their plans for the Konoha crush. Before them lies the corpse of the fourth Kazekage Rasa.

"To think that the almighty Lord Danzo would join hands with me to destroy Konoha."

"Everything I did was for Konoha, sooner or later, Konoha will be destroyed by Hiruzen's naivety.

Only I can lead konoha to a brighter future."

Danzo's plan was quite simple, He planned to use Orochimaru to get rid of all voices opposing him in Konoha then use the Kotoamatsukami on the Daimyo to allow him to succeed the Hokage throne afterwards.

…

1st July year 63 of konoha

Tetsuya was currently talking to his students before they head out to the chunin exam.

"Well then, you guys did great during these past six months. I have no doubt that everyone here can pass the exam easily since you guys became much stronger.

But don't let your strength get to your head because there are some hidden masters in this exam so remember to never let your guard down."

"Don't worry sensei, I'll definitely become a chunin, believe it."

 "Idiot" Sasuke retorted.

"What did you say, you duckbutt hair?!"

The two of them then started quarrelling with each other while Karin was still staring intently at Tetsuya not caring about the two of them at all.

As they were departing, Tetsuya gave Karin a scroll to use in an emergency. Karin who was now black haired thanked him.

Karin currently dyed her hair black to avoid the attention of the Kusagakure Ninja participating in the exam.

I did what I could for now. I can't bust Orochimaru now since if a battle suddenly erupted in the middle of the village, there would be too much casualties.

So if he decides to still enter the forest of death, I'll try to stop him there.

I probably can't kill Orochimaru since he has so much backup revival plans but I still need to know how far I've come and the big boss of the first part is definitely a good benchmark.
