Masaraku removed her headband and held it in her right hand, then she snuck up behind the mother and grabbed her with her free hand, brandishing the headband to the father. "I am a ninja of Kirigakure. If you so much as swing that stick at me in a threatening manner I will dislocate your arm. If you would like to avoid that happening, then I would suggest dropping that stick and telling me everything you know about your daughters kidnapping. Every second I have to spend here with you lets them get further and further away." She let go of the wife, grabbing her stick and pulling it from her hands before tossing it behind her. "I need to know if your daughter has any new friends that might have taken her, or old friends that might be able to tell us anything useful. I need to know when she was last seen, and if you saw who took her. Did they leave a ransom note? Did they take anything of hers with them? Was it night time? If so, what does she sleep in, were her shoes missing? How old is she?" She started looking at the parents, waiting for answers.
Batsu stood and listened to the elder as he spoke and he glanced towards the window again for a brief second before he looked back at Old-Rice. The fact that the male had never heard of such a flower stirred him a bit. The medic actually regretted that he didn't do something about it when he first made it into the village. Batsu gave a nod to the man because he knew what he needed to do next.
Batsu stood erect and gave the man a courtesy bow. "Sir, I find out of utmost importance to retrieve this flower for you and see if it is recognizable. If it is not then it may be a clue as to what we're up against."

He took a last big sip from his cup and sighed satesfied. He slowly made his way between the sofa and the table, out to the floor and raised his lowered head to be in eyecontact with Batsu. "Very well, I will probably be by the foodmarket, at the east side of the village. I don't own a shop but I built my house there" he smiled proudly. "Come, I'll walk you out" he patted the man on the shoulder and began to lead him out of the shop.
PupSage
The woman shrieked in terror as she felt a hand grab onto her arm and twist it in a manner where her arm were in a fragile state. She listened to the attacker. She was relieved to hear that she came from their countries shinobi village but also confused about her ways of going with her job. Her stick got tossed away and she ran into her husband's embrace. Sobbing, darkening the brown kimono that he was wearing.
"HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO US?! WE HIRED YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU HELP A FAMILY WITH A KIDNAPPED DAUGHTER?! YOU ATTACK THE PARENTS?!" the man was furious and had let go of his stick, but he heard from the sound where it had landed and figured where it could be if he needed to strike again. "IF YOU WANT ANYTHING FROM US - YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE TO MY POOR WIFE RIGHT NOW!"
Masaraku rolled her eyes. "You're obviously new to this game, so let me teach you how this works." She tied her headband around her waist again, drawing attention to her abs as she positioned it, and thrusting out her bust as she tied it. "For starters, I clearly stated that I was not an axe murderer. Yet you two ran down here brandishing sticks and ready to beat the first person that you saw. Fun fact for you papa, I don't even have an axe to murder you with." She assumed a slightly more intimidating stance, showing off her razor sharp teeth and said, "You attacked me. I don't need to apologize for your stupidity. If I had walked in and said that I wasn't a God would you be on your knees worshiping me? If so, get to it because as far as you're concerned I'm the closest thing to a God that you have in your life right now and if you want me to grant you the oh so gracious miracle of bring back your daughter alive, safe, and still a virgin you will start telling me what I need to know in order to accomplish that. I have a high record of success pops, the worst thing that can come of you not telling me that information is that your daughter gets beaten and raped until she helps them grow their crops without trouble. Then if she is lucky it will keep working her entire life and she can just be a slave for that entire time. Though on the off chance that puberty or adulthood have some effect on her powers, and as you can tell by the blue skin and gills, I know a few things about genkai, anyways, sometimes they sputter out as they grow old. Or maybe the village farms potatoes and her powers only work on rice. The long and short of it is that once she has outlived her usefulness they will kill her. And to me thats just a failed mission, I go home shoot down some sake and move on to the next mission, but for you ... daughters take some time to recreate, and their never quite the same. How many more kids you think old mama here can squeeze out before the factory rust out and becomes condemned?" She dropped the scare tactics and said, "That said, sorry I broke into whats left of your house, but I'm not at all sorry for anything that took place afterwards, and I won't be. I'm trying to help you and you are wasting my time trying to demand apologies after attacking me. I guess I underestimated how much you actually loved your daughter. I guess she was just a walking fertilizer girl for you and now you're sad that you can't ride her coat tails any more. I'll go back to Old Rice, at least he seemed to actually care about getting her back here before anything unspeakable happens. You two get to work on making your next claim to fame. Ciao." She headed for the door, expecting the anger to flare and for them to stop her. She smiled at the irony of leaving through the door after entering through the hole, but it meant not walking between the parents.
Batsu gave the man a nod as he passed by and opened the door to the shop behind him. The young medic turned around and walked towards the door. He then glanced over at the man. The male then repeated the directions given to him by the elder. "Eastern part of the village near the food market. I understand and will be there as soon as possible." After saying that, Batsu walked out of the house before stepping outside and breaking out into a full run. The male looked around and started to retrace his steps in order to find the mysterious flower.
The village was fairly small, so it was nothing for the male to find his way back to the entrance of the village. Once the male arrived, he slowed down to a walk before he came to a complete stop. The male them looked around on the ground for the flower that he and Masaraku saw earlier

((Oh my god - you're funny! Also I meant that you had to choose one among the trhee ways to try and persuade them and I am so sad to say that since you rolled below the required DC - you're very persuading words fell on deaf ears sad ))
MH: The man, outraged, not saying a single word, mid-way in Masaraku's speech he points towards the direction behind the woman, as an indication to '"get out". He hugs his wife and ninja leaves the two in a tender embrace as the last sounds she hears is her sobbing. You successfully leave the house and are on the streets of Tench once more. Grey clouds are slowly making their way across the sky. You notice Batsu being escorted by Old-Rice out of the tea house. Batsu then speaks a few words to the man before performing a incredible fast sprint and makes his way out of the village, from the direction you two came from and is gone out of sight in a matter of seconds. Old-Rice, takes a few seconds to look at the direction Batsu is going, before he slowly makes his way down the street. You can see that it has a few shops set up down that road.

MH: The old man waves you off as you begin your dash through the village. You do notice that grey clouds are beginning to make their way across the beautiful blue, that had so far been unchallenged. Retracing your steps were not difficult and you end up in an ocean of beauitful blue/black flowers. From you're experience of herbs and plantlife you know how to extract plants from the ground without hurting them. Attempt to extract a few samples of the flower without damaging them. Survival DC: 15. Failing has no consquences other than it takes more time for you to gather the flowers.
Masaraku debated disguising herself as a bloodied version of the missing girl, rolling in the mist, and scarring the parents for life. Instead she looked back before leaving and said, "If your daughter dies because we didn't have enough information then her blood is on your hands. The first one is always the hardest to get over." She leaves on that note, crossing the street to shadow Old Rice. She doesn't say anything as she comes up behind him, she just shadows him as he browses the shop, staying five feet behind him and waiting on her partner.
