"Sasuke and Sakura: Friends or Foes"
“Once he has graduated from the Ninja Academy, having drunk some milk before meeting up with his former classmates, Naruto is assigned to be a member of a three-person squad before undergoing a test to obtain the rank of Genin. He is put into Team 7, along with Sasuke Uchiha, his long-time rival, and Sakura Haruno, whom he has feelings for despite her feelings for Sasuke. Knowing of Sakura’s feelings for Sasuke, Naruto formulated a scheme to dispose of his rival and pose as Sasuke to get close to Sakura. But at the last second, Naruto is forced to go to the bathroom while the real Sasuke somehow escapes and runs into Sakura while searching for Naruto. After expressing disgust toward Sakura when she blames Naruto’s stupidity on not having parents, Sasuke finds Naruto after he was forced to ditch a guilt-driven Sakura to go to the bathroom again, with their confrontation being short-lived. Meanwhile, Naruto’s stomach pains are revealed to be the result of drinking long-expired milk earlier, as Hiruzen briefs the Jonin instructor to mentor Naruto and his teammates.”

Analysis
There is unrequited love on the part of Naruto in the sense that he has feelings for Sakura, but Sakura likes Sasuke. This is why Naruto poses as Sasuke to get close to Sakura; hence, we see an element of deception. However, Naruto has a tummy ache because he drank the expired milk.
Although Naruto and Sasuke are rivals, Sasuke in a way defends Naruto when Sakura blames Naruto’s stupidity on not having parents. The reason why Sasuke is disgusted is because he doesn’t have parents as well and understands what it feels like to be an orphan. Sakura is ignorant, and she is way out of line to make such remarks about Naruto’s personality. Moreover, Sasuke and Naruto are similar in the sense that they are both orphans and both want to gain so much strength to become the best ninjas.
The lesson from this episode is that we shouldn’t be ignorant and judge others without knowing the full story.
