2. Vital for a growing ninja
"I don't think you should listen to him."
Sakura and Naruto gave him incredulous expressions.
"Eh, what the hell do you mean bastard? He's our sensei."
Sasuke had not moved from where he slouched loosely, arms draped over his legs. "He told us not to eat breakfast, something's not right."
Sakura fidgeted nervously "Um, I know Sasuke-kun is far more clever than anyone else but," she winced nervously "won't we get in trouble for disobeying a jounin, never mind our sensei?"
"Yeah, yeah Sakura-chan is right. How do we know you're not trying to get us into trouble bastard?"
Sasuke sighed and turned an expression that spoke of being terribly put upon. "You trust Iruka-sensei right? You can ask him before you go home. At our age we need all out nutrients, any medic or responsible adult would tell you that. Besides, we're ninjas which makes it doubly important for us to get appropriate nutrition."
Naruto gaped before bursting in outrage "That bastard wants us to fail! It's just like.." he trailed off and coughed nervously "Well, I'm going to have breakfast. Screw Kakashi!" The blonde noted cautiously that he was going to find Iruka-sensei and ask him about what Sasuke had said before he went home.
"Sasuke-kun is so smart." Sakura cooed before blushing "How did you figure it out?"
The lone Uchiha, in quite a deliberate movement, slid a couple of feet back from the girl and gave her a funny look. "I just said that I wanted to be a medic-nin. That's some of the first things you learn and information you should know anyway."
Wilting but not quite beaten in her quest (Shannaro!) she moved after him. "Um, Sasuke-kun," she fluttered her eyelashes in what she thought was a demure and attractive manner "Would you teach me?"
"No, please back up a few paces."
She wilted and ignored Naruto giving her an impassioned defence and tearing into Sasuke but the Uchiha had merely turned and left.
"I'll see you tomorrow. I have things to take care of."
Sakura chased after him only to find him missing and Naruto hurried to find Iruka-sensei. He didn't particularly trust the bastard but he was worried enough to double-check with someone he did.
Just in case.
