It'd be preferable for a number of reasons, though that one is the most important. [ It would also save him this trip. Save them this trip.
Being out and about isn't inherently problematic but he'd prefer to keep a lower profile, and being reliant on inconsistent food quality at the end of the journey just leaves an even more sour taste in his mouth. ]
As for your ulterior motive, you can stop while you're ahead. [ The calm accusation matches a placid expression, staring down at each vegetable as it's revealed. The rinnegan's violet is always present, so who's to say when its ocular prowess is or isn't activated? Surely he wouldn't need to abuse such keen eyesight for something so frivolous. ]
Everyone needs a hobby. (a point that's stressed while kakashi flees from eye contact with sasuke as "you especially" goes unsaid. he likes to think it forms its own statement in the crushing silence that follows.
using his eye for something so ridiculousβhe suspects sasuke of it, but has no proof or desire to catch him up. it's one of the most boyish things he's done since arriving.
he's now letting three potatoes plunge forgotten back into the bin to unearth the one sasuke's indicated, perfectly happy to follow his order when it leads to something good. the only palatable potato is raised up like something holy. what sparse light there is shines through the clouds and focuses on it until it's gone all at once. the rain comes then, and not slowly or subtly. it drops what it's cached onto the canopies overhead that become distended like starving bellies.)
Aaah, I should've known. What a bother. (the potato noses into the bag over sasuke's shoulder with the help of a brutish push from kakashi. hold onto this, pack mule.) Our goal hasn't changed... Let's just continue to find what we need. Maybe it'll let up. What about those bins over there?
