You Failed! Kakashi's Final Decision

Lunchtime, with Naruto tied to a post as punishment: Kakashi forbids feeding him, then leaves. Sasuke — pragmatic, not kind — offers his lunch anyway; a starving teammate is a liability. Sakura follows. Kakashi erupts out of nowhere in full killing-intent theater... and passes them on the spot. Those who break the rules are scum, he tells them, quoting a friend the audience won't meet for a hundred episodes, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum. Team 7 officially exists.
