Personality

A streak of aggression runs through Jin, yet it collapses into cowardice the moment stronger opponents box him in, at which point he surrenders without much fight. Greed is his steadier trait. Like the leader he follows, he chased the Gekkōran flower purely for the fortune it could fetch on the black market.

History

Jin and his companions rely on knife-laden traps, which were dangerous enough to wound Shikadai Nara, though the thieves themselves proved flimsy in a straight fight. When their hunt for the Gekkōran flower failed, they set their sights on Tonsuke, the only one able to sniff it out. They ambushed Shikadai's group, deceived them, and made off with the piglet, injuring Shikadai even after taking a beating of their own. Cornered at a cliff by pursuing Konoha shinobi, the gang fled, but a hungry Tonsuke could not locate the flower on a second attempt. Shikadai and his team eventually surrounded Jin and the others, who gave up once more and lost the pig in the bargain. The Iwabee Yuino and Wasabi Izuno forces had likewise routed them with little trouble.
