Hotaru thanked the shinobi before he disappeared. She clapped her hands together and looked at her student and chunin. "Alright, let's head to the bridge. Stay behind me and keep up alright?" she instructed before body flickering onto a tree and jumping from branch to branch towards said bridge.

With her team behind her, or at least close by, she'd activate her Byakugan and scan ahead for the bridge or possibly the shinobi when they were close enough. She wanted to get there quickly and take the shinobi out, she'd kill if she had to. "I want you both to be careful, we're using the trees since it's easier due to it being bright outside but if it starts getting dark we'll stick to the ground." she said, not looking back as she continued to scan.

"I want to knock the shinobi out but if it comes to it, I'm need to make sure you two are going to be willing to take someones life." she said, she wasn't sure if she was giving a pep talk or not, she wasn't used to this. All she wanted out of this mission was the scroll, and two live kids. She didn't care if the shinobi died or not; but it would be easier to lug a dead body.
