=Back to the past=

Shien looked at Tiatsu and gave a solemn nod,  he was to act as a one man manji formation and proect Ren in the event of conflict. But hoping that this mission wouldn't come to it, Shien took the next part of what was suggested to heart. He removed his headband from around his neck before they arrived at Otogakure, and put it inside of his shirt, tying it around his pants like a belt with his jacket covering said shirt, even going the extra mile of tucking his shirt over his headband.

Don't get into trouble, or suffer the fact that Tiatsu wouldn't save them. They had to work together and be mindful. On the way there, Shien would put a hand on Ren's shoulder and speak to him, "Let's be careful and try to pay attention to our surroundings aye?"

The rest of the way would continue with Shien chiming in on those I Spy games to keep Ren from getting louder. This continued until Ren asked him about his shurikenjutsu, his mannerisms and accent were hard to understand for most, but Shien spent a large amount of time with Kideme, so some turns of phrase were a lot easier to understand even with an odd accent, "Yeah, I could say that I am alright with them. I also like to use senbon and kunai, I can't limit myself to one type of weapon." When they got to Otogakure, Shien stopped speaking and listened up.

There, Tiatsu spoke to them about meeting back at a particular spot should they need to retreat, or in the evening. Tiatsu left them to their own devices, but without the information on who they were looking for. So Shien and Ren would have to meander about, doing what kids did, to quote Tiatsu, while trying to ask about any strange individuals. If Ren got too close to any secluded areas or streets, Shien would grab and direct Ren away from those, acting a lot like an adoptive big brother to the Senju kid. Shien made sure that they stuck to the open streets like Tiatsu had suggested to them.
