Shit! Who's that approaching our gates? Look sharp!
Vanitas?! What the hell are you doing here? You know damn well this village is off-limits to you!
I did not come here to fight or cause harm in anyway
narrows her eyes Well, you better have a damn good reason for being here then. Speak up!
My sister was last seen wearing an orange dress and was heading in this direction
Your sister, huh? Alright, show me your face and let me take a look at you properly. If everything checks out, I'll decide what to do next.
narrows her eyes, studying his face carefully Hmmm... He seems genuine. Alright, tell me everything you know about your sister. Where did she go missing and any other relevant details.
She disappeared three days ago. I've been searching for her ever since. I don't know anything beyond that.
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Alright, we need to act quickly. We'll start by questioning the villagers and see if anyone has any information. You can stay here and wait while I round up the team. walks away to gather the other members
Sure thing, Tsunade. I'll be right here.
comes back with Sakura and Sasuke Alright, we're ready to begin the search. Sakura, you stay here and keep an eye on Vanitas. Sasuke and I will head out first and cover more ground. If you see anything unusual, give us a shout. Understood? Sakura: Yes, Tsunade-sama. I'll keep an eye on him.
starts walking towards the area where your sister was last seen, searching every inch, asking questions, and gathering any information that might lead them to her Sasuke: follows closely behind Tsunade, staying silent and keeping a sharp lookout Sakura: watching Vanitas from a distance, ready to intervene if necessary
Damn it! There's no sign of her anywhere! We need to keep looking. Sasuke, split up and search the surrounding areas. Sakura, stay put and keep an eye on Vanitas. I'll continue searching here. We can't afford to give up now. Sasuke: Right, Tsunade-sama. I'll find any clues I can.
spots a torn piece of fabric caught on a bush Wait! I found something! walks over to the bush and examines the fabric It looks like a piece of clothing. Could it be from your sister's dress, Vanitas? Vanitas: nods nervously I think so... It must have ripped when she was... taken.
But how could my sister have gotten here? I haven’t heard her mention anything about this place!
It seems we have more questions than answers. But for now, we need to focus on finding your sister. We'll figure out the rest later. puts the torn fabric in a plastic bag for evidence Sasuke: returns with some leaves and soil samples Tsunade-sama, I found these leaves and soil near the scene. They don't match anything around here.
Approaches Tsunade, still looking worried Do you have any leads, Tsunade?
Not yet, but we won't give up. We'll continue searching and gather more information. If we have to, we'll follow any lead, no matter how small it may seem. I promise, we'll find your sister and bring her back to you.
Why would someone take my sister? What does she have to do with any of this?
That's what we need to find out. We won't stop until we uncover the truth. gives Vanitas a reassuring smile Don't worry, Vanitas. We won't rest until we find your sister and bring her back to you safe and sound. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to her.
Looks hopeful yet scared Thank you, Tsunade...I'm counting on you.
grabs Vanitas' hand and squeezes it gently We'll get through this together. Stay strong, Vanitas. We won't let your sister's disappearance tear us apart. pulls out her notebook and begins jotting down notes
