After Iruka showed the Six Rookies around the tower facilities, assigned their dorms, and helped them collect blankets and other necessities from logistics, he left immediately.
The rooms inside the tower were assigned by team, so even though Sakura and Ino are female, they still had to share a room with their respective teammates.
'This is great! It's like living together with Sasuke.'
The rooms in the tower weren't very big, only about twenty square meters, and contained one bunk bed and one single bed.
The single bed was surrounded by a mosquito net made of tent-like material; it was clearly prepared for a girl.
However, Sakura wouldn't mind sharing a bed with Sasuke.
At this moment, Sakura was already fantasizing about doing some embarrassing things with Sasuke over the next two days.
Lost in her fantasy, she completely ignored Naruto.
Poor Naruto, let us observe three seconds of silence for him... Okay, done!
"Sakura... Sakura?"
"Huh? The child will be named Uchiha Sarada..."
Sakura, who was already fantasizing about naming her child, blurted out the name she had thought of the moment Sasuke woke her up.
Hearing that name, Sasuke's face was covered in black lines.
Knowing Sakura's nature well, how could he not know what she was thinking?
They hadn't even started anything, yet Sakura had already thought up the child's name.
But why choose a girl's name?
Is this looking down on Uchiha Sasuke, assuming I can't father a boy?
I'm telling you, I'm a Sanba Dagang, even Naruto says I'm good..."Ah, Sasuke, what did you say?"
Having her fantasy interrupted by Sasuke, Sakura's face turned crimson; she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it—it was utterly humiliating.
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come out with us."
Shaking his head, Sasuke forcibly dismissed the issue of having a boy or a girl.
"Go out?"
"That's right."
Naruto interjected, "Waiting here for two days is too boring. Iruka Sensei also said that not staying here isn't against the rules, so Sasuke and I decided to go to the Internet Cafe and have some fun for the next two days."
The distance between the Central Tower and the Forest of Death exit was quite far for the average examinee.
If these people wanted to leave, it would definitely take a lot of time.
However, this distance was very short for Sasuke and Naruto, who could use Sword Flight.
They could leave without much effort and still make it back smoothly on the fifth day.
"I want to go too."
If both Sasuke and Naruto left, wouldn't she be even more bored staying here alone?
She could also hitch a ride on the Flying Sword when leaving and returning, and touch Sasuke's body—this was highly appealing to Sakura.
"Alright, no time to lose, let's leave right away."
Apart from Sakura's slightly high consumption of energy during the fight outside the tower, Sasuke and Naruto had barely used any, so they didn't need rest.
After washing their faces, the three left the room and went outside the tower.
Coincidentally, the Sand Siblings Trio also arrived at the Central Tower at this time.
"Are you planning to go out?"
Due to Naruto's accidental Opportunity, Gaara's heart underwent some strange changes, which eliminated Temari's hostility toward The Rookie Three.
Come to think of it, she should properly thank Naruto.
"Yeah, the exam lasts five days, and it's only the third day. We found staying in the tower boring, so we decided to go out and have some fun."
"How are you going to get out... Alright, have fun."
Temari had originally wanted to ask how they planned to leave, as she had just mentioned, there was a considerable distance between this place and the exit.
But seeing the swords strapped to Naruto and Sasuke's backs, she felt relieved.
Since those two could fly, they could naturally leave easily... After saying goodbye to the Sunagakure team, Team 7 flew straight out of the Forest of Death. Only when they were about to enter Konoha Village did they dismount their swords and walk toward the Internet Cafe.
The Internet Cafe still had no customers at the moment. Ge Liang was sitting by the entrance, sunbathing and sighing.
Fortunately, the second stage of the Chunin Exams was almost over. He planned to earn back all the lost revenue, principal and interest, when it finished.
"Uncle, we're here."
"Boss!"
"How did you guys get out?"
Looking at The Rookie Three, Ge Liang felt very strange. Shouldn't they be in the Forest of Death, or specifically, inside the Central Tower?
They can come out during the exam?
"During the exam, they never said we couldn't leave."
"Besides, we already passed. Will Konoha's higher-ups really cancel our results just because we came out for a'stroll'?"
Hmm, that's a very good and strong reason.
Given the strength displayed by The Rookie Three, Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to be insane to disqualify them.
He was counting on these three to bring Konoha much honor.
"Oh, Uncle, is Karin here with you?"
Earlier at the Central Tower, Naruto had looked for Karin inside.
He heard from the examiners inside the tower that Karin had been picked up.
Karin had no relatives in Konoha; the only person who could pick her up was Ge Liang.
"Karin is undergoing special training. You'll be able to see her after your exam is over."
After Ge Liang made a deal with Orochimaru on the first day of the exam, he flew above the Central Tower, monitoring the events happening in the Forest of Death.
When Karin arrived below the tower, he saw her.
He immediately revealed his identity to Karin, dispelled her suspicions, and after notifying the Anbu outside the tower, she brought Karin back to the Internet Cafe.
Originally, Ge Liang wanted Sakura to be an Internet Cafe Attendant, just like Haku.
But Karin didn't agree, saying she wanted to continue being a Ninja.
Speaking of this, Ge Liang also saw Karin blush slightly.
Ge Liang sympathized with Karin's plight and didn't force her. Instead, he had her undergo special training with Haku for a period to enhance her physical fitness.
Members of the Uzumaki Clan all have strong Physiques. Just look at Uzumaki Naruto; even though he grew up eating junk food and drinking expired milk, his Physique was still much stronger than that of an average Ninja.
Uzumaki Karin also possesses this gifted Physique. Unfortunately, due to long-term exploitation by Kusagakure Ninja, her current Physique is even worse than that of an average Ninja.
Fortunately, Sakura 'healed' Karin a few times, clearing the hidden injuries in her body, which gave her the chance to restore her Physique.
Ge Liang entrusted Karin to Haku, believing she would recover after training with him for a while.
"I see. Since she's doing special training with Big Sister Haku, then I feel relieved."
So you're saying you wouldn't feel relieved if she trained with me?
Zabuza Momochi, who was playing a game, felt insulted when Uzumaki Naruto said this.
It's not my fault that I'm not good-looking! Why are all of you 'Face Dogs,' and why are your standards for judging people so shallow?
'If it weren't for the Boss, I'd extort you to death.'
Well, it seems Zabuza Momochi is walking further and further down the path of shamelessness.
