The Yamanaka, close allies to the Akimichi as similar to the Nara. Strangely, Ieyasu had never been around any part of those clans and hadn't the opportunity to meet such people. The Yamanaka who sat by him seemed very sharp, dangerous even with that look in his eyes. So when the Yamanaka made mention of how suspicious it would seem for Ieyasu to be looking around like he had been, he did well to keep it in mind as he relaxed although skepticism bit at him.

Ieyasu took the piece of candy Hoshi had offered, letting it roll in his mouth for a little bit before he simply bit down and swallowed the entire thing.

"I was thinking we could take on a different look where no one was looking and then just walk into the heart of things. I get it though, show me what you've got in mind."

Despite being a shinobi, Ieyasu wasn't the best at hiding. He never really considered it much when most of his other missions dealt with very direct matters such as The Rise. This would be helpful nonetheless, eventually when he was Anbu Ieyasu knew he'd need to appreciate more in the art of hiding to truly be a shadow of the shadow. Not particularly caring where Hoshi went, he'd follow in tow.

So long as wherever they went wasn't compromised and the Yamanaka hadn't suggested a better course of action, once they were well-hidden enough Ieyasu would form just a few simple handseals: Dog → Boar → Ram. As he finished up a small plume of smoke would cover his features and he'd emerge a much more unremarkable and slimmer young man that would remind anyone who had seen Ieyasu when he was skinny from eating a colored pill except for minor differences here and there such as no markings.

"Well, I'm ready when you are. I bet we could scout out the area and keep an eye out for these thieves too."

Presuming the same conditions from before had not been altered in some way, Ieyasu would begin to walk out from their walking spot and head further into the village towards the flea market.
