Shinra’s small speech made Hotaru feel ashamed, he was right, she should believe they are alive. Yet, there was still a small voice yelling that they weren’t.

Hotaru would grin at Keldran, “Thank you as well for your concern.” To say the least, Keldran really did look like a doll repaired too many times, and she could tell he was fuming with anger; whether he wanted to show it or not, it was obvious in his eyes. Once Keldran was fully healed and patched up, he’d tell the medical-nin what a great job they did and that now it was time for them to join up with Battalion 1. Hotaru gave him thumbs up, “We got this.”

As Keldran fled the scene, Shinra commanded everyone to press forward with caution while ordering the Earth users to use small scale jutsus. While they walked in their Manji formation like Shinra instructed, Hotaru made sure Hiroshoka was close to them, even to go as far as placing him in between them. “You almost died before because of our poor team work, I’m not letting it happen again.” She’d say, looking over at him. She was mentally beating herself up about it, but at least he was alive; right?

When they got closer to Konoha, Hotaru would activate her Byakugan and scan the area for their comrades and the enemy. (DM) Since they had gotten no cry for help from Battalion 1, she was to say the least hyped and proud. Her student must be kicking ass! She knew the other two would, they were experienced with fighting. “When we get back home, I’ll take everyone out for BBQ…” she thought, a small grin forming on her face. Hotaru would then tell her Battalion where the enemy and their comrades were after getting all the details she had wanted.
