If Shinra were less steel nerved, he would have reacted to what the children had said with a little more emotion. He was sympathetic, but it wasn't going to take him over. He knew all too well just what people could do to each other, especially from his past and his familial relations. His face looked jaded almost as the kids gave their story. His expression didn't change much either at the sight of the bodies, not really showing much of a reaction as if he were used to this sight. However his gaze was away, looking onwards to where the footprints lead.

At least Ranta had prepared a clone to escort them back to the village. Clones were a handy thing to have, and he would have to invest his time in learning a clone jutsu at some point he thought to himself. But that was neither here nor there. They had a job to get back to and as Ranta gave the command, the formation picked back up and they were on their way.

Seeing how his teammates were troubled, Shinra decided to speak up, "We can check up on them afterwards and act as guardians later. Get too distracted and we lose the hokage's daughter. The captain's clone will be able to look out for them on his own."
