Naruto is at the village food store buying ramen when he sees Sasuke. "Hey, Sasuke! What are you doing here?" Naruto asks.
"Buy food." Sasuke replies.
"Oh, right, what else will you be doing at a food store." Naruto says. The blonde sees only tea and bread in Sasuke's hand.
"Sasuke! Are you having tea and bread for dinner again? That's not good enough. You need to eat healthy! Your eyes are all red too! Did you stay up all night again? You need to sleep!"
"No time to do stupid thing like eat and sleep. There're lots of strolls to read and ninjutsu to learn."
"How can you say sleeping and eating are stupid? If you don't eat and rest you're gonna be sick!"
"Hello, you two." The store owner greets Naruto and Sasuke, "do the two of you like to buy a chocolate making kit today?"
"Chocolate? What's that? Is that some kind of herbal medicine?" Naruto never heard of chocolate before.
"It's a special candy from faraway countries. The merchant ship brought it back from places beyond the sea. You make chocolate and gives it to the one you care about. It's a way to say 'I love you'."
"What a waste of time." Sasuke says.
"I think that's really sweet." Naruto says.
"Only lousy Ninja will waste time to do silly things like that."
"Kakashi-sensai must be a lousy Ninja then. He is right behind you getting chocolate making kit." Naruto says.
"Hello, you two. Nice meeting you here. I got this chocolate-making kit so I can make some chocolate for Iruka. Aren't they cool?" Kakashi smiles to the two boys.
Sasuke shakes his head and sighs.
"You know, Sasuke, Naruto is right. You need to eat and rest." Kakashi says.
"I'm gonna head home." Sasuke puts down his tea and bread.
"But what about your food?" Naruto asks.
"I'm not really hungry."
"Sasuke! You need to eat!"
"Don't eat too many cup-ramen, Naruto." Sasuke leaves.
Naruto picks up Sasuke's bread and tea. "I'll get this and bring this to Sasuke's home. It's not good for him to skip dinner. He didn't eat lunch today."
"Hey, Naruto. Take this." Kakashi says as he gives a chocolate making kit to Naruto.
"Huh? Why?" Naruto asks.
"You can make some chocolate and give it to Sasuke so he knows how you feel. You like him right?" Kakashi smiles.
Naruto blushes, "Why would I like that block of ice? He doesn't care about anything at all."
"You don't have to lie. It's easy to see that you like him. You worry about him not getting enough food and rest. And you even notice he skipped lunch. You even bring food to his home for him." Kakashi says, "and he likes you, too. Do you notice you're the only one he talks to? He didn't even speak a word to me or anyone else, but he always talk to you."
(Does Sasuke really like me?) Naruto looks at the kit in his hand and ponders, (If I make the chocolate for him, will he eat it? Or will he make fun at me?)
Naruto puts the chocolate-making kit inside his pocket and mutters, "Sasuke better eat my chocolate. If he make fun me I'll make him very sorry."
