Summary of Naruto Episode 3: Rivals! Sasuke and Sakura

The third episode opens up to Naruto waking up. He wakes up to a breakfast of ramen and milk. He excuses himself from breakfast and puts on his hitai-ate. He then sets out for the next and upcoming level of ninja school. Today is the day of truth for Naruto as he becomes a real ninja. It is the Orientation for all new ninjas at the Ninja Academy. 

On his way to school, he comes in contact with Konohamaru, Naruto's temporary student. Konohamaru attempted to sneak up behind Naruto and attack him. He foolishly tripped on his own cloth instead. Naruto, full of pride, makes his headband dinstinct to Konohamaru. His headband signifies him as a real ninja. 

Meanwhile, Haruno Sakura is preparing for the Orientation at the Ninja Academy, as well. While walking to the academy, Sakura encounters someone who could be labeled as her old friend and new rival. This person is identified as Ino. After an exchange of insults, they race each other to their classroom. They both finish at the classroom at the same time. 

An argument is ignited when they are trying to decide who should sit next to Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke is the an elite rookie and the last survivor of the Uchiha Clan. As always, Naruto noticed he was not the center of the attention. A jealous Naruto stood up on top of the desk in front of Sasuke, staring down at him. A bystander pushes Naruto, and he falls on top of Sasuke. He accidentlly kisses him. Sakura is very mad at Naruto that he stole Sasuke's first kiss, instead of her. Sakura beats Naruto out of jealousy. 

Class begins when Iruka, the classroom's teacher, walks in. He settles down the class and tells them that they will be divided into groups of three-man teams to enhance their training. It turns out that Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura become a team. It's obvious that Naruto is happy to be with Sakura and Sakura is happy to be with Sasuke. Sasuke feels that both of his teammates will just get in his way. Hyuuga Hinata, a fellow graduate, is disappointed not to be paired up with her crush, Naruto. 

The scene opens to lunchtime. Sakura insults Naruto and ventures off to find Sasuke. Naruto, looking for revenge, locates Sasuke eating by himself. Out of spite Naruto attacks Sasuke with a rope. The two fight and ultimately, Sasuke is victorious. He ties Naruto up in the end. After the fight, Sasuke joins Sakura for lunch and questions her feelings about Naruto. She goes on and on about how annoying he is and how she does not understand him. 

There is a flashback to the building where Sasuke tied up Naruto. Instead of Naruto being tied up, it showed Sasuke tied and gagged. Naruto used his Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to overwhelm Sasuke and transform into him. Both the transformed Sasuke and Sakura are in the park alone. Just as they are about to kiss, Sasuke proclaims he has stomach problems and runs off to the bathroom. While the transformed Sasuke is in the bathroom, the real Sasuke walks passed Sakura. He cares nothing for her as he looks for Naruto. He wanted to figure out why Naruto attacked him during lunch. Sasuke sees Naruto as he is coming out of the bathroom. He questions him. As another fight between the two start, Naruto caught himself in a bad position. He had to relieve himself. 

As Naruto is walking back to the classroom, he is stopped by Sakura. She tried to relieve the anger between them. Naruto was not used to Sakura being nice to him. He thought it was Sasuke trying to obtain revenge on him. Before Naruto can do anything, he has to, once again, relieve himself.
