Smiling politely at it, and later grinning at the boy's reaction to his sake, Yatsu watched the proceeding. He smiled at Yogensha's comment about there not being a need for more men in the room, but decided not to comment.

All things considered, he wasn't necessarily present to talk. Relations between Iwagakure and Konohagakure were relatively well, especially considering that he was friends with Gisho. He paid close attention to the boy, but only from the corner of his eye most times. That was until he began to cry. Raising a brow, Kazayatsu grabbed a kunai from within the sleeve of his robe, unseen. Something was off.

Confirming this, the boy clapped his hands together...and vanished in a puff of smoke. Yatsu's eyes narrowed faintly, and then he smiled cheerily.

[color=#D4716E][b]"Ah, youth. So easily overwhelmed with emotion, are they not?"[/b][/color] His mind was whirring between possibilities already, because something was clearly going on. He had noticed the slight hesitation, the waiting, of Gisho after the boy's actions a moment before. He had noticed the boy's attempt to redirect conversation away from his identity.

He closed his eyes and began searching through the veritable archives of intel and historical information he had. Who did the boy look like?

It took him about 30 seconds to find something promising, or it would have been if Jaakuna hadn't been dead.

Odd.

He opened his eyes and took another drink from his sake. Realizing he had become lost in thought he turned his gaze to Yogensha. [color=#D4716E][b]"Are they? That's good to hear. There are a few of note that I've been keeping an eye on. I hope they pass, personally."[/b][/color] He grinned and glanced up at the screen, checking on things.

[i]Very promising,[/i] he thought. Soon he would be gaining some very reliable jounin, it seemed.
