Seeing what happened before him, Sasuke frowned slightly. He did not quite understand why Naruto was helping Sakura now.
Still, since Naruto had taken a stand, he handed over the lunch he could not finish. "Eat it while Kakashi's away. Don't drag Naruto and me down this afternoon because of this."
Sasuke's tone was extremely cold.
Looking at the lunch Sasuke offered her, Sakura's eyes filled with tears. Sasuke was actually willing to share his lunch with her.
"Thank you, Sasuke... I..."
Although Sakura Haruno found it a little hard to say, what she really meant was that she could not eat while tied up.
However, before Sasuke could toss the lunch away, a cloud of smoke suddenly burst in front of the three of them.

"You!"
Kakashi suddenly appeared, glaring fiercely at the three of them. Sakura and Sasuke went pale with fright.
But before Sakura could explain anything, Kakashi continued in a gentle voice. "You passed. All of you passed."
Sasuke: ???
Sakura Haruno: ??!

Hearing this, Naruto asked, "Um, Kakashi-sensei, when are we meeting next?"
"In seven days.
