At the academy, when there is a break most of the students eat their Bentos.

Usually, their parents make them, but there are some exceptions.

Naruto for example doesn't have parents who could prepare a bento for him, so he buys some stuff at a store.

Choji...with all the junk food it would be a miracle if he would eat something remotely healthy like a bento.

For Eiji, his mother prepared him daily Bentos, since she has only guard duty and is never away for missions.

But now it looks like it may change...

"Hey, you know my mum made me one already and I'm usually full after that..."

Currently, Eiji was walking with Tenten to the school.

Because the first years had the first week less school time than the others, they couldn't walk together to school before.

But now that the first week was other, Tenten insisted that they would walk together.

Eiji thought it wasn't a big of a deal, but now she also insisted that he takes the bento she prepared for him.

He isn't Choji who could eat all day; two Bentos would be too much for him!

"But I made it especially for you..."

She started to make a pug face.

"Haaa, alright I will try my best to eat it as well so stop making that face"

The same day at lunchtime.

Eiji sat alone like always.

The others still thought he was a troublesome person...he tried when he introduced himself to appear like a serious honor student, but that didn't work out.

Anyway, he started to take out his two Bentos.

'I should probably try Tenten's first, and if tastes terrible I can just eat my mum's.'

...

'Nope, not a chance. If I try this I will definitely die...why is the rice moving like it's an ant colony?!'

"Hey, what does Eiji have here? Carrying a sword around isn't enough for him so now he carries a bioweapon with him as well? We should really stay away from him..."

"Yeah, I agree!"

When Eiji thought about where he could dispose it safely without damaging the environment, suddenly Tenten entered the classroom.

"What does this upperclassmen girl want here?"

"I don't know..."

She ignored everyone's gazes and stopped only walking when she was in front of Eiji.

"And? How does it taste? You know, it was my first time cooking something, so I really want to know..."

'Shit...I'm totally screwed...'

"Y-Yes it was g-good, I only tried a b-bit but the taste is so g-good that I will eat it really slowly!"

"It's the first time I'm seeing you stuttering, you know. Anyway eat it all, so you can taste all the different ingredients and tell me which one you liked the most."

"L-Like I said. I will really eat it s-slowly, so you may get late to your class. I will definitely tell you later which one I liked the most!"

Now Tenten started to get suspicious: "Hmm somehow I have the feeling you aren't really honest with me. So I will stay here till you are finished. Oh by the way I saw you the other day skipping class, so if you don't eat it, I will tell your mum that you are skipping classes."

'Looks like I have no choice. Oh lord have mercy upon your child and don't let my death be full of suffering!'

The taste was indescribable.

With only sheer will power he managed to eat everything.

When he finished, his body lost its functions and he collapsed on his seat.

His instincts told him that he still needs to do something before he loses his consciousness.

With his last ounce of strength, he could raise his thumb towards a happy Tenten.

After that, pure darkness fell upon Eiji.

While Tenten walked happily out of the classroom, Eiji's classmates felt pure pity towards him.

The same day at the academy's garden.

The girls had currently kunoichi training.

"...Today we'll be learning the art of Ikebana - flower arranging! To begin, everyone must go out and gather whatever flowers you please."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Currently, Ino explained to Sakura what she should do best for flower arranging when a group of girls approached them.

"Having fun, little miss billboard brow?!"

Ino made them easily run after throwing flowers into the girl's mouth and telling her that the flowers might be poisonous.

Sakura thought Ino was really cool and felt a sense of inferiority.

Ino cheered her up and told Sakura, that she is like a flower herself.

After that Sakura gained a sense of self-worth and confidence.

Meanwhile, Eiji felt like he came back from the dead when he woke up.

But he didn't have time to celebrate because he knew that he might vomit any second!

So he started to run.

He tried to rush into the boy's bathroom but it was locked because of a certain junk food incident!

So he could only run outside.

"Anyway... let's finish gathering the flowers!"

"Okay!"

"Huh, Sakura are you crying? What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I...I got sand in my eyes when I fell...wait do you see that?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah...what is he doing here? Shouldn't the boys be at the training hall right now? Why is he running aimlessly around... NOOOO! DON'T RUN INTO OUR DIRECTION...WAIT!!!"

"(Hardcore vomit noises)"

"HE VOMITED ON THE FLOWERS WE GATHERED!!!"
