Rhaim soon found that he had eliminated about half of his stack through looking up the general descriptions. Since he didn't have much else to go off of he decided to scan the remaining scrolls and tomes in order to find locations of those statues. The type of location, whether it be general specific or poetic, didn't matter so long as it was there. The boy needed something to go off of and though it's whereabouts may not be known to the text, it was the place to start. For all he knew even if he found the location to the right one, the instructor could have moved the thing. If that were the case then he'd be well out of luck since talking to that man was out of the question.

Thus the boy began shifting through the pages to see if they gave any locations at all. His eyes traced for keywords rather than for actual places since he wanted to simply narrow down his search pattern.

Arriving at the library Tenma looked around. Neither Rhiam nor Tairu were in the main reading area, which was a good thing now that she knew where she was going. Heading back to the proper section she was still a bit giddy from her accomplishment. With a deep breath she calmed her nerves before heading over to talk to Rhiam. Tenma was still confident that Tairu was true to his word, but if she sensed even a touch of deception she would be off to find the statue on her own. After calming herself she walked up to Rhiam, knowing that they were still on friendly ground. “Rhiam, may I speak with you for a moment?”

There was that same lingering smile as Tenma watch Rhiam pulling down scrolls. She shouldn't have been as proud as she was but the girl just couldn't seem to help herself, though she wouldn't being boasting about it. As her eyes traced his movements it was pleasant to see that he was actually making an effort, then again, he had probably figured out where the statue was. Regardless, Tenma took in the smell of book musk yet again before laying their proposition on the table.

"Well, I actually want to talk to you about the exam. Personally, I think it is unlikely that this Taiju character will only pass one of us. It would be especially difficult for him to only pass one if we all were to show up with the correct statue in hand. I suppose what I am trying to convey is that Tairu and I would like to work together with you in order complete the exam; just like a genin cell might do."

Tairu knew that he had found the possible targets, now it was a matter of finding out the location of each and discovering which one was the right statue. Hopefully the objective would become clear once everyone crossed checked their information. Tairu deactivated his Byakugan, now that he had found a scroll that Tenman must have hidden to at least keep Tairu distracted in case their alliance feel through he decided to search the other two documents on the table.

Tairu quickly found one of the documents to be useful. It was a blue print of the Senju compound. Of course this is the likely hiding place, but I need a way to confirm a) the statues link to the proctor, and b) it's location. Tairu thought as he examined the scroll. Those two elements were critical but they also the only bits left.

Rhaim took down the map that the scroll spoke about and placed a small pencil circle around the area where it belonged, the Senju compound. He then rolled up the map inside of the scroll describing the statue while listening to the previously unnamed girl. His work suddenly came to an abrupt halt as he realised just what she was asking for them all to do. It didn't make sense since them doing that would elliminate any chance of proving which one of them really deserved to gain the honor of being a shinobi. Not to mention there was the simple fact that that instructor may laugh at their attempt to circumvent his rules. The boy looked at Tenma for a moment before bringing his eyes to the shoes on his feet. He sighed lightly and walked through the library to the area where the Hyuuga was sitting, dropping the scroll and map before him.

"Ok. So how were you thinking of getting into the Senju Compound?"

The Nara figured that since he was the weakest of the group, he probably wasn't going to have a shot otherwise.

((I didn't roll because Rhaim just believed Tenma. He didn't doubt her in the first place.))

The fact that Rhaim was here meant that he was ready to go along with the plan. Good, now that everyone is here we can plan the attack. Tairu thought as he pulled out a map and picture of the target. Tairu unrolled the scroll containing the map so that it was flat on the table. "The outer wall is going to be the easiest way into the compound but then we'll probably need to pick the lock to room containing the statue." Tairu said. He tohught the statue was probably in the Master's Study but since he wasn't sure Tairu wanted to see what the others thought.

It was quite obvious that Rhiam wasn't impressed with Tenma's plan, but that was fine by her. "I apologize, Rhaim. I have not had much time to think about the plan, much less referrence a map for ideas." There was hardly a sharp snip in her tone though there was a touch of her grandfather's temper in her eyes. The excitement of the exams had put her in a bit of a touchy mood, but that was alright since it just made her more willing to try. After pausing to listen to Tairu she nodded. "I believe we should attempt Rhiam's suggestion first and if that doesn't work we will attempt your's Tairu. That is, if that is satifactory to the entire group."
