Changes: Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes?

Revision as of 16:55, 2 January 2020

"Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes?" (宿敵!?サスケとサクラ, Shukuteki!? Sasuke to Sakura) is episode 3 of the original Naruto anime.

Synopsis

All of the genin graduates arrive at the Academy for their orientation. Sakura spots Sasuke sitting down and runs over to him, knocking down Naruto in the process, and asks if she could sit next to him. However, Ino comes over and states that she should be the one to sit next to Sasuke before many of the other girls do the same thing. Upset over the attention Sasuke is getting from the girls, Naruto gets on top of the desk and glares at Sasuke, with the latter returning the favor. Suddenly, Tobio accidentally bumps into Naruto, causing him to fall forward and kiss Sasuke, much to the girls' dismay. As a result, Naruto gets pummeled by them, because they were angry that they weren't Sasuke's first kiss.

After Iruka arrives, he explains the next step that the genin will take, explaining that they will be in a team of three led by a jōnin. He then announces that Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke will be Team 7; Hinata, Kiba and Shino will be Team 8; and Ino, Shikamaru and Chōji will be Team 10. Naruto abruptly asks Iruka why he had to be on a team with Sasuke before being told that he had the worst scores of all the graduates, while Sasuke had the best, so in turn, they were put together to create a balanced group.

During lunchtime, Sakura tries to find to Sasuke to ask him to have lunch with her to no avail. She then runs into Naruto who asks her to have lunch with him, but she coldly dismisses him. Angered yet again, Naruto ambushes Sasuke through an open window. The ending results shows Sasuke standing over a gagged and bound Naruto, but is later revealed that Sasuke only defeated a substitution before the real Naruto overpowers him with the Shadow Clone Technique. Naruto then transforms into Sasuke and heads out to find Sakura. When he finds her, he asks her what she thought of Naruto. She replies by saying that he was annoying. Sakura then leans in to kiss Sasuke, but as they are about to kiss, Sasuke is forced to go to the bathroom.

When the real Sasuke manages to escape, he runs into Sakura and asks if she's seen Naruto. Brushing off what he asked, she proceeds to mock him, believing that he's so annoying because he had no parents to teach him how to behave and that he was all alone. This sparks Sasuke to remark that Sakura had no idea what it felt like to be alone before saying that she was annoying. This causes Sakura to have some resolve for Naruto, deciding to be nicer to him.

After Naruto finishes using the bathroom, he runs into Sasuke, much to his surprise. Naruto uses the Shadow Clone Technique in an attempt to attack Sasuke, but is unable to proceed due to having to use the bathroom again. After finishing, he spots Sakura who is strangely being nice to him. This leads him to believe that it was Sasuke transformed as her, and is prepared to face off against her until he has to use the bathroom yet again.

At Naruto's house, the Third Hokage briefs Kakashi on the team he will be leading, Team 7. Kakashi examines a carton of milk and states that it was spoiled, which is the reason Naruto had to run to the bathroom so much. Kakashi then comments on how much of a problem Naruto would be.

Trivia

The kiss between Naruto and Sasuke was not edited out of the Viz and YTV editions, but Cartoon Network removed the actual scene, instead freezing on the previous scene for the duration of the kiss, for censorship reasons regarding homosexuality implications. The actual kiss was shown in episode 16, however, in Sasuke's flashback.
- While Naruto accidentally kisses Sasuke, the whisker marks on his cheeks disappeared.
Although not shown in the manga, at the beginning of the episode, a shot of Naruto's calendar reveals the starting date of the series to be on Tuesday the 15th of October rather than sometime at the end of March as originally speculated by fans since in Japan the usual time for a school year to end is at the end of March, and begin again at the beginning of April.

 == Synopsis ==
+All of the genin graduates arrive at the [[Academy]] for their orientation. [[Sakura]] spots [[Sasuke]] sitting down and runs over to him, knocking down [[Naruto]] in the process, and asks if she could sit next to him. However, [[Ino]] comes over and states that she should be the one to sit next to Sasuke before many of the other girls do the same thing. Upset over the attention Sasuke is getting from the girls, Naruto gets on top of the desk and glares at Sasuke, with the latter returning the favor. Suddenly, [[Tobio]] accidentally bumps into Naruto, causing him to fall forward and kiss Sasuke, much to the girls' dismay. As a result, Naruto gets pummeled by them, because they were angry that they weren't Sasuke's first kiss.
-It seemed like just another day for [[Naruto]]. He woke up, had a cup of ramen for breakfast, and drank milk straight from the carton. However, this day was special because it was his first day as a ninja.
-En route to his ninja orientation, Naruto ran into [[Konohamaru]], who as usual was unable to properly conceal himself. Naruto then explained to him that he couldn't hang out with him that day because of his ninja orientation. Konohamaru admired Naruto's new status as a ninja.
-Elsewhere, Sakura was on her way to the academy, also excited about becoming a ninja. On the way she ran into [[Ino Yamanaka]] as she was leaving her house. Almost immediately the rivalry between them flared up to the point where they began to race each other to school, even though neither managed attain even a minor lead over the other.
-At school, Naruto was proudly showing off his headband to [[Shikamaru Nara]], who had thought Naruto had failed the graduation exam. [[Hinata Hyūga]], who had a large crush on Naruto, was quietly pleased for him. Both Ino and Sakura made it to the classroom at the same time; nevertheless they argued about whose foot had been further inside. Naruto blushed over seeing Sakura, and was delighted when she looked his way. He became even more excited when she headed over to him, but his elation faded after she knocked him aside to instead address Sasuke, who had been sitting next to him. She politely asked if she could sit next to him, which incited the wrath of all the other girls in the class (except for Hinata).
+After [[Iruka]] arrives, he explains the next step that the genin will take, explaining that they will be in a team of three led by a [[jōnin]]. He then announces that Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke will be [[Team Kakashi|Team 7]]; [[Hinata]], [[Kiba]] and [[Shino]] will be [[Team 8]]; and Ino, [[Shikamaru]] and [[Chōji]] will be [[Team Asuma|Team 10]]. Naruto abruptly asks Iruka why he had to be on a team with Sasuke before being told that he had the worst scores of all the graduates, while Sasuke had the best, so in turn, they were put together to create a balanced group.
-As they were arguing, Naruto became angry and jealous. He hopped onto the desk in front of Sasuke, glaring right at him. Sasuke returned the glare, and their glaring match further provoked the wrath of the girls. They continued to glare at each other (electricity flying around in typical anime fashion) until [[Tobio|the boy sitting ahead of them]] stretched back and accidentally bumped into Naruto, who fell forwards and landed on Sasuke, accidentally kissing him. No-one was pleased with this turn of events: both Sasuke and Naruto were gagging, the outraged girls glared daggers at Naruto, and Sakura cracked her knuckles ominously. All of this was observed by the [[Hokage]] and some of the [[Jōnin|Konoha Jōnin]] through a [[Telescope Technique|crystal ball]].
-Later, [[Iruka Umino]] showed up to explain what their tasks would be as [[Genin]]. Naruto was badly bruised, and Sakura had managed to sit next to Sasuke. Iruka then announced that the Genin would be divided into three-man teams. Both Sakura and Ino swore to end up on Sasuke's team. Naruto didn't care which team he was on as long as Sakura was on it and Sasuke wasn't. Sasuke just thought that three-man teams were a waste of time.
-Iruka went through the teams up to Team 7: [[Naruto Uzumaki]], [[Sakura Haruno]], and [[Sasuke Uchiha]]. Both Naruto and Sakura in turn cheered when their prospective admirer was announced to be on their team, but frowned when they realized the other person on their team. Hinata lamented to herself that she wouldn't be on Naruto's team until Iruka placed her in Team 8, along with [[Kiba Inuzuka]] and [[Shino Aburame]]. Ino fumed about not being on Sasuke's team, and Shikamaru, who was sitting next to her, complained about how annoying this all was. Ino said that she would hate to be on his team, upon which Iruka announced the members of Team 10, comprising of her, Shikamaru, and [[Chōji Akimichi]]. Ino immediately moaned over her new team-mates.
-Later, during lunch, Sakura went looking for Sasuke to ask if she could eat with him. Naruto approached her for the same reason, but she coldly dismissed him. Angered yet again, Naruto formulated a plan after he saw Sasuke eating lunch in an empty room. Under the watchful eye of Team 10, Naruto pounced at Sasuke through the open window, and the window's shutters fell shut, obscuring the events inside from view. Yelling and sounds of fighting ensued, and Sasuke was shown standing over a bound and gagged Naruto. Sasuke hopped out through the window with a smirk on his face.
-Sakura was shown sitting by herself on a bench wondering how Sasuke could ever be attracted to her. However, she suddenly noticed Sasuke standing opposite her whilst looking directly at her. Sasuke then asked her what she thought of Naruto, to which she replied that Naruto was annoying and that, if he always had his way, she would never be happy. Sasuke leaned in to kiss Sakura, but had an attack of diarrhea and ran away.

Angered yet again, Naruto ambushes Sasuke through an open window. The ending results shows Sasuke standing over a gagged and bound Naruto, but is later revealed that Sasuke only defeated a [[Body Replacement Technique|substitution]] before the real Naruto overpowers him with the [[Shadow Clone Technique]]. Naruto then [[Transformation Technique|transforms]] into Sasuke and heads out to find Sakura. When he finds her, he asks her what she thought of Naruto. She replies by saying that he was annoying. Sakura then leans in to kiss Sasuke, but as they are about to kiss, Sasuke is forced to go to the bathroom.
-Sasuke was subsequently shown bound and gagged in the room where he had been eating lunch, and the truth was revealed about what had happened in a flashback. Naruto had jumped into the room and attacked Sasuke, but Sasuke had tied up Naruto and gagged him. However, Naruto had used the [[Body Replacement Technique]] and a log appeared in his place with a puff of smoke. Five more Narutos leapt out of the corner and defeated, gagged, and tied up Sasuke.
+When the real Sasuke manages to [[Rope Escape Technique|escape]], he runs into Sakura and asks if she's seen Naruto. Brushing off what he asked, she proceeds to mock him, believing that he's so annoying because he had no parents to teach him how to behave and that he was all alone. This sparks Sasuke to remark that Sakura had no idea what it felt like to be alone before saying that she was annoying. This causes Sakura to have some resolve for Naruto, deciding to be nicer to him.
-This was confirmed when Sasuke, sitting on the toilet, transformed back into Naruto. He then hatched a scheme to make Sakura hate Sasuke. Meanwhile, the real Sasuke, who had managed to escape Naruto's bonds, walked by Sakura. Sakura commented that she envied Naruto, as he had no parents to chastise him for his behavior; however, since Sasuke, being an orphan himself, could understand the harsh realities of loneliness as an orphan, Sasuke became hostile and aloof upon hearing Sakura's sentiments, and told Sakura that she was annoying before walking away.
+After Naruto finishes using the bathroom, he runs into Sasuke, much to his surprise. Naruto uses the Shadow Clone Technique in an attempt to attack Sasuke, but is unable to proceed due to having to use the bathroom again. After finishing, he spots Sakura who is strangely being nice to him. This leads him to believe that it was Sasuke transformed as her, and is prepared to face off against her until he has to use the bathroom yet again.
-Sakura wondered if her rejection of Naruto had upset him as much as Sasuke's rejection had upset her, and she resolved to be a little nicer to Naruto in the future. Naruto then approached Sakura and, when Sakura tried to be amiable, a surprised Naruto thought that it was merely a vengeful Sasuke who had transformed into Sakura. He yelled at Sakura before getting diarrhea again and fleeing once more to the bathroom. Naruto, however, ran into Sasuke while heading to the bathroom. He made four [[Shadow Clone Technique|shadow clones]] and was about to pummel Sasuke, but abruptly all five of the clones had to go to the bathroom. All the Naruto clones then fought and scrambled to get into the bathroom first.
-At Naruto's house, both the [[Third Hokage|Hokage]] and [[Kakashi Hatake]] were there. The Hokage briefed Kakashi on Team 7, which Kakashi would be leading, but Kakashi eyed the milk carton from Naruto's breakfast, which was still sitting on the table. He examined the carton and declared that the milk had spoiled a long time ago, commenting about how much of a problem Naruto would be. The scene then cut to a shot of Naruto on the toilet, having ended the [[Shadow Clone Technique|clone jutsu]] and holding his stomach in pain as he bemoaned his agonized condition.

-* Naruto accidentally kissed Sasuke in this episode after being knocked onto him by [[Tobio|another student]]. The kiss was not edited out of the Viz and YTV editions, but Cartoon Network removed the actual scene, instead freezing on the previous scene for the duration of the kiss. The actual kiss was shown in [[The Broken Seal|episode 16]], however, in Sasuke's flashback. This was one of the few occasions where the animators forgot to include Naruto's "whiskers".
