While normally Kankuro wasn 't seen as a particularly subtle person, more than happy to loudly give his honest opinion on whatever was asked of him, that didn 't mean he hadn 't paid attention when he was being trained in the arts of a shinobi. Just because he chose not to use those skills most of the time didn 't mean he had forgotten how to be surreptitious about watching a chosen target.

And that was exactly what he was doing right now: watching, observing unseen. He wasn 't quite sure what it was about Aburame Shino that captured his attention so much but he was hardly against using his position as guard at the latest Kage conference to his own advantage. Perhaps it was the mystery of the shinobi across from him. Both of them kept their faces covered in public, if in different ways, and neither of them had been seen without their chosen head coverings in quite some time.
