Oh, so his lack of specific knowledge on the date might go against him later? Intriguing. :)
I wasn't sure about that. He'd be very suddenly disoriented, then maybe suddenly win against Neji with crazy moves--use the Rasengan? That would cause a stir. XD As for the Sakura situation, I'd thought about her deliberately doing the same knocking-each-other-out during the prelims and using the month off for "training purposes" (going off to look for Tsunade) and bring Tsunade back for the final part of the chuunin exams to help fight against Orochimaru, while she maneuvered things somehow so that the Oto and Suna nin would be easily detected (also, that Orochimaru would be revealed as the Kazekage so the Suna nin would turn against Oto). These were all ideas I'd been tossing around for time-travel along with the plot for MWtLS, because I'd wanted to write one, but ultimately I decided to do Sasuke because I thought that unlike Naruto and Sakura, he'd have that emotional, very visceral internal conflict the entire time, which would be interesting to explore. :)
