Shouken had awoken as the Hokage's speech began, now sitting up. He was sort of excited for the speech, hoping the kage would maybe announce a tournament or a big mission. However, these thoughts were cut short due to Zeno's abruption in the speech. He stood too his feet, glaring at the seemingly dying kage and was dumbfounded on how to react. 

Shortly afterwards, Shouken noticed a cloaked figure above the Hokage's roof. By her thin shape and tiny hands, the boy decided that it was a she...And she had an ANBU operative by the throat. Shouken's eyes widened and his right hand instinctively gripped the hilt of Bachiatari, his new katana, knowing he would be no match for this cloaked women, but instead doing anything he could to buy the Hokage more time.

He glanced and caught Zeno jogging at a slow pace through the alleys. Shouken decided to provide overwatch just in case anyone tried to attack him. Shouken was excited at the fact that he now had an oppurtunity to lay down his life for his Kage. And if he survived, oh, the stories they would tell. He saw this as a win/win situation giving him a solid attitude and determination. 

Keeping his hand on the blade, Shouken began leaping from roof to roof in pursuit of the Kage's trail. He was passed by several ANBU pursuing the cloaked figure.

He thought to himself while gazing at the dozens she was ripping through. 

This did not phase Shouken, as he ensued Zeno. He would quickly approach the wounded kage and protect him from the rooftops to try and see oncoming attackers.
