The ninjas on the island didn't disappoint Kizaru for long. As Yamato emerged from the woods and headed down toward the docks, a patrol squad spotted her hiding behind a tree beside the road.
The one who discovered Yamato was a ninja from the Aburame Clan. He hadn't slacked off during his patrol and had kept up the good habit of releasing his Kikaichū across an area nearly a mile wide. As a result, he found Yamato's trail with ease.

The Aburame Jonin still retained the basic discipline of a ninja and quickly reported what he knew to Kizaru.
Kizaru nodded. He didn't mock the three for their defeat, but instead said, "That woman is under my watch. She
