Silence
"Neji, when you gonna get yourself a girl?"
It's a foot in mouth moment courtesy of Naruto – who else? The chatter dies down, silence as if waiting for something to happen – it drags on. The rookie nine and Gai's team hold their breaths – waiting for something go boom.
"I thought I already had," Neji smirks after a too long moment of silence – hooking his arm about Sakura's waist and pulling her close to his side – she's the closest kunoichi.
Another silent moment before everyone laughs – the moment is saved and Sakura blushes, Naruto mutters about smartass Hyuuga and Hinata winces.
