[Private to self, voice]
Checked ten-block radius around the apartment and the market. Didn't know where Sensei lived, so I checked the Community Block. Nothing yet.
I need... a plan. I need...
[An unsteady breath.]
Pull yourself together.

[The video switches on. Sakura is outside, back against the wall of a building, and at first she doesn't look directly at the camera. She studies something beyond: the people on that street. Then, not finding what she's looking for, she focuses on the Forge.]
I'm looking for someone. ... two people, actually. He's good at keeping away from us but he doesn't usually--
[Her controlled expression runs away from her for a moment--cracks, and the depth of her concern is exposed before she visibly draws back her composure.]
Yamanaka Ino, about my age, a few inches taller than me, long blond hair. Hatake Kakashi, tall, about thirty, grey hair. He wears a black mask over the lower half of his face.
[She reaches up and yanks her hairband out of her hair, which isn't actually a hairband but her red hitai-ate with the stylized
leaf symbol engraved in the metal plate. She puts this up in front of the camera.]
Both of them would be wearing this symbol somewhere.
[And it drops out of view.]
I just need to know whether or not they're dead. If anyone has any information, please contact me.
[Pause.]
If either of you are watching this right now... I'm going to break every bone in your body for making me worry.
[She looks and sounds perfectly serious.
The feed ends.]
