With Shien arriving on the scene and Michirama on the boat, the two could have their quick banter, "Well, I figured you needed help when those bugs told Bofu about someone passing out from too much chakra use.  So I came here for your ass. We're heading home. This place is a lot more dangerous than thought!" He would work with Michirama to blow wind out to move the boat along while they could move through the water.

First they pulled their way out of the village, "Turn the boat around, we're taking a long one-eighty back to the border." Shien declared while the girl that called him Cherry Strings was given direction. After that, they would be taking a big loop around that village they just left, heaving back the way they came without going through the village. The way the boat was moved so quickly with the wind jutsus they weren't able to pick up on the strange chakra signatures that were following them. The group would be getting home safely at that.

The group would be pulling away with great speed and precision, getting away from those two followers and the one creepy pet. But while that child like figure sought to start walking through the watery swamp, getting nice and close to the edge, vine like tentacles shot up out of the water, a dozen in number and sought to grab on to and yank that body and its pet under the water, where they would never be resurfacing.

Successful or not, vines were coming up out of the water and growing around the tree for that other figure speaking in a weird language, looking to either drag it under the water or tear it into two pieces to drag them under the water. These two figures needed to deal with whatever wanted to finish its snack time while the quartet of ninjas and Korine made their escape.

Back on shore, SHien would be leading everyone off of the boat, "Come on, we gotta get this girl back to the compound, we can treat her there." He spoke about Yahiko, while he looked to Korine and gave her a smile, "You did fine though, Don't worry okay? There's always next time to a better place alright?" Korine looked up at Shien where she just nodded, a little upset that she couldn't do what she had set out to do, but grateful Shien believed in giving everyone a chance on fair grounds.

The mission was considered a technical failure after that, but Shien would still be paying everyone for their time, feeling it was unjust to not compensate them for dealing with such a strange occurence. "We're going to have to report to Lord Fuma about the whole, 'monster in the swamp' thing, aren't we?"
