<div class="floatleft"><strong>Jin-Ryu <em>Foxeye</em> Kitsage</strong> (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=886798)<br/>(http://www.mrwallpaper.com/wallpapers/masked-anime-guy-1280x1024.jpg)</div><br/>Jin-Ryu listened and also saw desperation written all over on Tenten on her situation. She could survive few days with leftovers, but after that she falls right in where she was in when Jin-Ryu met her in; penniless and trying catch a fish without much success in using her bought weapons as fishing tools. Also apparently she had grown rusty in surviving from the land and seems to be creature of comforts.<br/><br/>Then Jin-Ryu decided it was time lay down the bait as he replied; "Well, the food offered was from the kindness...but paying up entire month in advance in hotel for you I would need more substantial thank thank you in return." Jin-Ryu then looks on Tenten on eyes as he continues; "Besides your weapons, what you think can offer for that sum of money? I will not be giving it out as a loan or something you pay later or after the exams." Jin-Ryu did not word outloud that Tenten would give details of the exams what proctors would have, but he leaves up to her own desperation to guide her and also limit her how much she would reveal. This approaches close to bribing a proctor in exams after all. But then again Jin-Ryu does not remember any rules forbidding it but other proctors may declare it cheating (or not, as chuunin exams tests shinobi abilities and bribing shinobi for intel is a shinobi art on itself).<br/><br/>With this thought in mind Jin-Ryu continues after brief pause; "It's after all not forbidden officially in chuunin exams for exam attendants having inside information about the exams. I base this on after spending time in library reading the past exams and their rules over and over again. As negotiations, bribes and seduction are all part of shinobi tool kit as are their techniques and kunais. More so in present peaceful age skill to negotiate or handle things without violence is further important don't you think so?" Hoping those words would help calm down any doubts about legalistics on Tenten's mind in regards accepting the bribe or idea tell information in return for Jin-Ryu paying up hotel for a month. Plus food expenses.
