"Well, I<em>am</em>pretty impressive." Mibu Niwa confidently said, closing her eyes and nodding. After a beat, she opened those two bright red orbs and added, "As I recall, our deal earlier was that we'd have a little bit of a talk if you could get those two off my back."<br/><br/>She raised her hands up and shrugged, "I'm afraid I have to alter our deal. You see, my team's been focused so much on supervising me that our intelligence is<em>sorely</em>lacking."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Maki maintained a straight face, until she realized that there wasn't a guilty bone in his body... well, at least from what anyone could gather by looking at him. Her face turned from one of stoicism to horror, "M-me?"<br/><br/>She looked at him, eyes wide, as she began to explain her meaning, "I thought someone tied<em>you</em>up and you were embaressed to tell me or something... It's a common prank among shinobi. Supposedly a lot of the genin are doing to eachother and interrogating their prisoners for intelligence."<br/><br/>Maki closed her eyes and coughed into her hand, clearing her throat, "Binding techniques are very important. I can tell you from experience that there are some enemies that cannot be dealt with by conventional means, enemies that must be immobilized before they can be dealt with. Likewise, learning how to escape bondage is an important technique as well."
