As the crew turned around and prepared to head back home, they would begin to notice something unnatural. The other side of the bridge they had come from, the forest was beginning to billow with mist and spill into the gorged below. A quick look around and the same was happening all around them, soon they would be surrounded by the mist. There was still some open room and they could maintain sight of each other, but only for specific purposes. Upon closer inspection into the mist, you could see shadows dancing about. You couldn't tell how many there were just from how fast they were moving, but there was definitely something comparable to that of a squad.

From the mist stepped out a single hunter-nin, the infamous brigade known for their speciality in hunting down and killing missing-nin. He was dressed rather simply with a standard Kiri flak jacket and attire, with a simply mask that had a crimson chevron that marked the lower-half of the near-featureless mask. He took his time stepping across the bridge as the shadows continue to dance in the back setting formation. Once the hunter-nin approached within 10 ft or so from the crew, he began to speak with authority.

"You, with the scroll," the ninja pointed to Hotaru, "hand that over immediately. We would like to thank you upstart shinobi for stalling Titan long enough and... disposing of him as needed. We will take that you were trying to help us here if you simply hand over the scroll, and look over any transgressions you may have foolishly attempted."

The hunter-nin held out a hand so that Hotaru could toss over the scroll. If it was handed over, the hunter-nin would check its contents and verify its inegrity looking for special marks of identification. Things that Hotaru and them couldn't have known unless they checked within the scroll itself. It would be foolish to challenge this group, or perhaps these 3 would never make it back home to their families.
