Ieyasu was about to begin walking when he took notice of the fact Rena was still sprawled out on the ground, drained of energy and all. Ieyasu's body coiled at the new duty he had permanently given to himself, but if he wanted to start making things better he'd have to try and find a new philosophy on people like Rena. It seemed like he had finished crying whenever O made a mentioning on the fact they were going to get stronger from this and prepare for whatever next hit Konoha.

"Yeah, how else are we going to protect everyone?"

A sincere chuckle came from Ieyasu as he walked over to Rena and attempted to help her sit up. After she was at least up, he'd turn around and be still so that she could grab onto his shoulders. Afterward, he'd bring himself up and begin walking ahead of the rest.

He sighed a little as they began to walk further into the forest and closer to Konoha.

"I don't regret saying what I did to you back then. It's obvious that you're weak, but... I guess this is pretty early into the new life, huh? No matter how many years you spend in the Academy, you'll never be able to comprehend the shit that gets tossed at us daily. Just... get stronger from things like this, and I'm sure you and Shinra both will be able to protect the village too and all your friends and family."
