Sasuke was a student on an exchange programme. He had been born in London but was currently studying at university in the United States, where he never imagined he’d find love and purpose.

Naruto Uzumaki was an American student at the same university. The two of them studied related fields, so they shared several classes.

Both Naruto and Sasuke had Japanese heritage, but having been raised entirely in the USA and the UK respectively, they each had the accent of their upbringing.

Sasuke: Can I borrow your rubber?
