A Thief of Innocence is a tale of Tsushima that becomes available during Act 2: Retake Castle Shimura.
Synopsis[]
A woman in Umugi Cove asks Jin Sakai to help her find her daughter Kuma, who disappeared a few days prior. Jin speaks with several people regarding Kuma's whereabouts, including a Straw Hat named Sanetoki who makes cryptic comments comparing children to chickens. Eventually, Jin finds one of Kuma's friends who claims to know where she is. According to the friend, Kuma had left Umugi Cove with a man who had promised her a job at the Nukamaka Inn.
Jin leaves Umugi Cove and heads to the inn, where he is attacked by a group of bandits. He defeats them all and finds Kuma on the second floor of the building. Upon being freed, Kuma explains that the bandits had been using her to flag down travelers for them to rob. She apologizes, and Jin prepares to take her home. Outside however, they find Sanetoki holding Kuma's mother hostage. Repeating his previous comments, the ronin challenges Jin to a duel. Jin slays Sanetoki, and Kuma reunites with her mother.

Journal entries[]
A woman in Umugi Cove is calling out for her daughter. I'll find out what's happened.
A mother is missing her daughter. It's been days—and though I hate to admit it, her daughter is likely dead. But this woman reminds me of my own mother, holding on to such hope. Such determination has won wars. Perhaps I can find her daughter.
Notes[]
Replay of Sanetoki's duel is not immediately unlocked. After completion of the mission, Kuma and her mother may be followed back to Umugi Cove in real time. This takes around 20 minutes. If you don't do so directly after the mission, they will respawn on the road not far from the front entrance when you travel there again. They can be killed by random encounters, including animals, and you will not get a warning if they are spotted before you.
If even one of them makes it back to their shop and home, Sanetoki's duel is unlocked for replay. Restarting from Last Checkpoint if they are killed respawns them back by the inn.
