[comikadraws]

Person: Itachi is stupid and not actually a genius!

Kishimoto:

I don't know, buddy, but Kishi is pushing that interpretation kinda hard.

They wereyoung, and impulsive and often driven by their own emotions. Sasuke had alwaysbeen one to have little patience, being observant and sharp; when he noticedthat they were going to spend the day training without Sakura’s attendance, hefrowned.

On theprior days he had seen Sakura act as usual, just as gleeful and immersed in herown vain.

It was hardto think something might have happened to her in only a matter of hours sincehe caught glimpse of her when he wandered around the village earlier that day,the same as always.

He deliberatelyignored Naruto’s constant rampage as they trained, they were doing their best effortbut somehow Sasuke found his mind to drift towards thoughts of the youngkunoichi of their team. He begrudgingly followed Kakashi and Naruto to do moreof their assigned low ranks missions while Naruto kept on bickering and Kakashikept on ignoring him.

It was notorioushow Sakura’s presence affected their dynamics, the young girl often being theone to stop Naruto’s loud remarks and whimpers.

He gruntedonce again because he couldn’t stop wondering what the girl could be up to.

He decidedto make sure to look it up once they finished their shores of the day.

In themeantime, Sakura kept busy, she was the only one out of her team to have a familyto take care of. Although one could say Team Seven was her family too, hercivilians parents were still alive and in need like any other family giving herduties to take care of and whatnot.

Today, shewas left to take care of her sick mother while her father went to make somedeals as a merchant on a three day trip. The ending result being the young girltaking care of home and her weakening mother, one she had made sure to let hersensei know earlier that day before heading to buy some groceries for the mealsshe would prepare for her mother.

She didn’tget to sense the young Uchiha watching her from afar as she enabledconversation with a family’s friend —a civilian who ran the store herparents often bought their groceries, who alsohappened to be around her age, if not a little older. Had she been aware though, she would probablybe able to realize the wrong impression it gave for an outsider, consideringthat even though the young girl was polite, she wasn’t the kind to go out ofher way to make conversation with other boys like she did with Sasuke.

Sasukegrunted once more because, what the hell did he care anyways?

The nextday was the same, Sakura absent and Sasuke irritated; Naruto loud and Kakashisilent.

This time, hesaw Sakura walking by the civilian’s side, and now he was evidently irritated.Had she avoided her duties as a ninja in order to spent time with a boy? He wasaware she was a vain girl, but neglecting her own duties was something hethought was beneath her.

He wasfuming but said nothing, until the third day, when he was finally able to seeher join their training. As she usually did, she was the second to arrive afterhim, but he refused to acknowledge her when she greeted him like she usual.

Sasukegrunted as a response and walked a few meters far from her, Sakura noted hisobvious annoyance with curiosity, what had made him so disgruntled thismorning? She pouted but said nothing, knowing sometimes her beloved teammateliked to have some time alone.

The boy,however, misinterpreted her reaction as if she didn’t care at all. He clenchedhis jaw and closed his eyes as he let out a loud huff. Once more, why the helldid he care?

Soon after,though, arrived Naruto and the normal —at leastbetween the blond and Sakura’s, dynamics returned. While they bickered andplayed along, Sasuke waited for Kakashi to arrive and let them know what theirduties for today would be.

Sasuke hada hard time trying to act like nothing bothered him this time, although theprior days he had been irritated, he had been able to concentrate and do as hewas said, today however, seemed to be a challenge now that the evident presenceof the teammate that had invaded his thoughts was here like she hadn’t beenannoying his thoughts.

To fuel hisbad temper, she was assigned to partner with him.

“Sasuke-kun?You’re alright?” she wondered aloud at last, when they were left alone now thatKakashi and Naruto had decided to head first to meet their client. “You’ve beenavoiding me all day…”

Sasuke ponderedhis options only to realize he would have to be direct. Over the time they hadspent as a team, it became inevitable to catch on the other’s reactions andmoods. Just like he had noted Sakura’s change in demeanor when being with thatcivilian boy, she had noted his irritated and annoyed change towards her.

He hadnever been completely irritated with her presence as he did now, and there wasno turning back from her accusation, which was true. So instead, he turned sohe could face her worried frown. The stupid girl had the nerve to look genuinelyconcerned to make his anger die down.

“Who wereyou with?” he asked instead, just to make sure he had a reason to stay mad ather and make herself spit it out, it was only fair for her to be as botheredwith his nagging like he had been with her display.

The girlsseemed to be lost though, worry turning into confusion in her eyes as she bendher head lightly and frowned.

“What doyou mean?” was her cautious reply, not knowing what he referred to.

“You haven’t come to the trainings, why?” hegrunted, urging her to explain herself.

“Wha-Weren’tyou told? I was taking care of my mom’s fever…” she kept on looking at himskeptically, not sure why her absence had been such a big deal or why heassumed she had been with someone else…

He chuckledwithout amusement, not believing her when he had seen her with his own eyes howshe had been enabling conversation so sheepishly with that civilian.

“Then yourmom fever must be a rare one since she looked like a healthy male civilianidiot…”

“Huh?” washer first response, but she soon made the sum in her head and blushed “Wait,you mean Toru-kun?”

This timehe scoffed and glared at her. She seemed surprised and he suppressed his needto snap the neck of that so called ‘Toru-kun’. Her blush was giving him thewrong idea, and she soon realized that his glare was directed at her just like thereason of his foul mood.  

“Are you…did you think something was going on between Toru-kun and me?” she dared towonder, eyeing him skeptically, and for the first time since he started hisirrational annoyance, he found himself looking taken aback at her observation.

She wasimplying if he had been jelous and he…

Had he?

A responseneedn’t to be voiced since his creeping blush told so to both of them. Sakurabit her lip as she suppressed her smile from widening and her cheeks tinted ina light shade of pink as well.

Sasuke, onthe other side, seemed flabbergasted at the observation and grunted as he hidhis frowning face into the long neck of his attire.

“He is afamily’s friend, he runs the grocery store my parents often attend to… he,well, he isn’t interested in girls like that, you know?” some part of Sasukewas listening, but it just didn’t seem to register in his brain. His thoughtsmore focused on the realization of ‘being jelous over Sakura’.

It was onlywhen Sakura giggled that he replayed her previous explanation.  

The dudewas gay. Sasuke grunted once more and Sakura’s laugh resounded louder whenKakashi and Naruto arrived with their client.
