Unlike some of their more bashful classmates, Sakura was all smiles, a light blush crossing her cheeks at the compliment. It wasn't like she thrived on praise or something as silly as Sasuke's attention anymore, but who didn't like to have their hard work noticed?

"Hey, part of it was having such a good teacher," she assured Iruka with a grin. The way his voice trailed off like that was a little worrisome, but so long as he wasn't gravely injured now...

"The same time?" Sasuke was just getting more and more confusing the longer they spoke. Her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her mouth to ask him exactly what he remembered when a very harsh interruption forced its way into their conversation.

In the form of Zabuza. The ninja that Kakashi-sensei had defeated during that first mission. Green eyes widened and blinked again in confusion at the demand and at the other ninja's presence, but logic dictated that if Haku were here, it would be very possible for Zabuza to be as well. And he certainly didn't seem too happy about it. Sakura frowned at the outburst, not so afraid of him as she might've been a few years ago.

"I'm new here too, so I can't really give you any answers," she snapped, clearly annoyed at the interruption. Had she really expected someone like him to know how to say 'excuse me'? "You should probably calm down and take a seat if you want information. Throwing a tantrum isn't going to help anything!"
