Neji Hyuuga cocked an eyebrow at his teammate, Rock Lee.
"And you expect people to BUY that stuff?" Neji said, crossing his arms over his chest, glaring at the cereal box that lay atop a rock in the training grounds of Team Gai.
"Yes, my youthful teammate!" Rock Lee said, kicking into the air, "the youthfulness of this Fountain Of Youth cereal will attract many customers!"
If Neji was less stoic, he would be laughing at his teammate's foolish actions. Instead, Neji smirked.
"And our first mission of the day… try Lee's BRAND NEW cereal!" Gai-sensei said, beginning to give a speech about how proud he was.
A waterfall appeared behind the two and they hugged, crying joyfully.
Neji and Tenten looked at each other, then down at their bowls.
Neji picked up a flake of the cereal. It appeared to be the EXACT color green that Lee's jumpsuit was. Neji wanted to vomit. Tenten made a face at the cereal. Neji motioned towards the trees.
"So we don't have to eat that green CRAP?" Tenten asked Neji on the walk toward the Hyuuga compound.
Neji scoffed, "No girlfriend of mine will EVER have to eat that disgusting looking meal."
Tenten giggled. Neji was not an overly romantic man; he was often stoic and rarely ever expressed emotion. Yet, there was something romantic about him wanting to keep her from eating disgusting food.
When the man serving breakfast at the Hyuuga compound opened the cover of the beautiful silver serving dish, Neji's mouth began to water. Then…
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GREEN CRAP?" yelled Hanabi, picking up a piece of cereal and throwing it at Neji.
Hinata rolled her eyes. Her sister was such a princess just because she was the better kunoichi.
And she sure was sick of Hanabi's fits during breakfast.
"Lady Hanabi, is anything wrong with breakfast today?" asked the food server.
"It's GREEN. I don't eat GREEN cereal. And cereal is a very cheap thing to serve me," remarked the bratty yet adorable Hyuuga.
The server turned towards Neji, "You don't think there's something wrong with this meal, Mr. Hyu- MR. HYUUGA?"
Neji's chair was empty, as was Tenten's.
Neji and Tenten sat in Tenten's apartment, herring soba.
"I still can't believe Lee's cereal got so popular- the head chef only serves the most popular and delicious breakfast food!" Neji stated.
Tenten sighed, "Yeah, although I doubt we can hide out in my apartment forever."
Neji smirked. "We can. And so long as we are together, you will never have to be forced to eat things you dislike, do things that you are afraid of, or be around people you loathe."
Tenten leaned over and kissed her boyfriend.
Apparently, whatever Neji said was correct.
Neji's cheeks were tinged pink. They just had their first kiss as a couple.
Suddenly, a figure loomed in Tenten's window.
"THERE you are, my youthful teammates! Try my delicious breakfast cereal!"
Neji and Tenten stood in the middle of the training field, panting. Lee had chased them for awhile, but he got distracted when he saw Sakura leaving the hospital.
"Neji, I'm actually kind of curious. Everyone in Konoha loves Lee's new cereal. Perhaps we should give it a try?" Tenten queried.
Neji's eyebrow rose. "Are you sure?"
Tenten nodded.
They looked at the bowls of Fountain Of Youth cereal they had abandoned this morning. The duo sat down and Tenten took her first spoonful.
"Oh my god. This is delicious!"
Neji grunted, then proceeded to give the rest of his bowl to Tenten.
Tenten glanced at the two bowls of Fountain Of Youth cereal in front of her.
"You don't like it?" she inquired.
"No, it's shockingly savory. You like it though, so I'll give my bowl to you," Neji stated.
"Aww, Neji!"
16 Years Later...
Hizashi glared at the bowl of cereal Lee-Sensei placed in front of him. Apparently, it had been popular years ago. The popularity dwindled after a short while.
He picked up a flake of the green cereal.
Two seconds later, he was already kilometers away.
Tears sprung to Lee-Sensei's eyes.
"The youthful child of my teammates had the exact same reaction as his parents! It makes me remember my days of youth!"
