Shouken noticed Rin approaching and realized she was the teammate they were waiting on. She didn't really pay him much mind, but it never phased him for he returned the favor. Shouken did however admire her appearance which lead to him glancing at all 3 of his squadmates and coming to the realization that he was in a squad with 3 beautiful homosexuals. He giggled to himself at the thought as it quickly escaped his mind being less important than the mission at hand. His eyes squinted and his grin expanded as he watched Aoi cluelessly debate which route to take. 

He understood the Kage's decision but would have thought a more [i]experienced[/i] Jonin for the mission. However, Shouken trusted the Kage's judgement and would remain loyal to Aoi at all costs. He was glad to have such a talented ninja in control. 

[color=mediumslateblue]"Not questioning your authority, Aoi-sensei, but may I suggest the Motorani Path?"[/color] 

He made sure his tone was correct and that he made it clear that there was no 'smartassness' in his tone. The Motorani path was the route he and his father used when they moved to Konoha. Even though he was very young, Shouken still knew it pretty well and was more than confident that it was the fastest and safest way. 

He noticed Aoi's gaze fixed on Akio so he immediately directed the question towards her, believing she may 'wear the pants' in the relationship.

[color=mediumslateblue]"Unless you know a better route, Akio-Chan?"[/color]

His focus shifted to the Kunoichi, awaiting her reply.
