would also explain why kakashi looked high during their first c-rank ...and made such...questionable decisions
so i'm rewatching the sasuke retrieval arc, which i LOVED when i was a middle schooler--i watched so many angsty amvs about the squad fightin through the pain on the rewatch i think kiba's fight is my favorite? like, lil dog boy has a piss-based strategy. incredible. incredible!! sakon gets peed on TWICE. can't come back from that.
