While his immediate answer to Chae's inquiry had been fairly vague, it'd been more than enough considering Chae's background as a standing Kirigakure shinobi whose done the exact same thing. Truthfully, he hadn't been surprised to have had him comment about his abilities regarding Raiton Ninjutsu, after all, once word gets out that one has required a nearly long lost technique, the search for that person his narrowed down quite easily.
Needless to say, Chae listened intently once the man continued on to lay out his proposal as well as its benefits. He thought about himself seven years ago, envisioning himself selfishly accepting the offer without even a sliver of hesitation. His eyes closed for just a moment, then opened back up and met with Ashura's own. But then. . .
It all changed.
It all changed the moment he mentioned not only his 'future' child but his wife as well - Anko. For the briefest of moments, his face contorted in primordial anger as he attempted to analyze and deduce the man's motives and intentions. Subconsciously, his hand sparked with rudimentary bolts of raiton chakra, however, he looked around and remembered that they'd been in a public area. Calming himself, he sighed as the chakra faded in turn while he readied his response."It seems you've done your research on me eh. Unfortunately, money hasn't been my motivation for quite some time. . ."
While his words held a great many truths, his mind failed to realize that neither he nor Anko could live peaceful lives without money, and considering that most shinobi run dry when war isn't upon them, money hadn't exactly been falling from trees. With Anko's best interest at heart, he considered the possibility of taking up arms once more, yet also what she would've thought about it."- But, I'll do it, but only on one condition. You tell her nothing, absolutely nothing. You grant me that one request and every ounce of knowledge i've poured into Raiton ninjutsu is at your employer's mercy. Just know that money is not my reason doing this, wanting a future with my wife is. So, when it all comes down to it, if anything compromises my future with her, all of you will experience Jigokuzuki first hand."
Letting himself be heard, he awaited Ashura's response, regardless of what it would've been.
