-3rd Person-

Naruto and Sasuke burst into the Hokage's office, their faces a portrait of panic. They're breathless, eyes wide, and their voices tremble with urgency.

"Old Man!" Naruto shouts, his voice breaking with fear. "Yui's missing! We looked everywhere, but she's gone!"

Sasuke stands beside him, his usually calm demeanor shattered. "She went to the restroom and never came back. We've asked everyone we could, but no one's seen her! We need help now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, immediately registers alarm. His expression shifts from calm authority to concern. "What do you mean, missing? Are you certain she's not just lost somewhere?"

"No!" Naruto insists, his voice cracking. "She was supposed to be back by now. We waited for her, but she didn't show up! She's gone!"

Kurenai Yuhi, who's standing by Hiruzen's side, springs to her feet, her face pale. "Did you notice anything unusual? Any details that might give us a lead?"

Sasuke shakes his head, frustration etched on his face. "Nothing out of the ordinary. It's like she vanished into thin air."

The Elders, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, exchange anxious glances. Homura's voice is grave. "If Yui is truly missing and there are no leads, she might have been taken."

Koharu's eyes widen in sudden realization. "Danzo... Could he be behind this?"

Hiruzen's face hardens. "Danzo... It's a possibility we can't ignore. If he's involved, the situation is dire. We need to act immediately."

Kakashi Hatake, who's been observing the scene with growing anxiety, steps forward. "Danzo is known for his covert operations. If he's behind this, Yui is in grave danger. We need to find her before it's too late."

Naruto's voice is filled with desperation. "Please, Old Man, we have to find her! We can't let anything happen to her!"

Hiruzen nods, his face set in determination. "We will mobilize immediately. Kakashi, assemble a search team and begin the search without delay. Every moment counts."

Kakashi's face is pale, his usually composed demeanor cracking under the weight of the situation. "Understood. I'll get a team together right away. We need to act quickly."

Before anyone can react further, the office doors burst open again. Sakura Haruno storms in, her face a mask of panic. Her breath comes in short, sharp gasps, her eyes wide with terror.

"Naruto! Sasuke!" she screams, her voice cracking with urgency. "Yui's been taken! I saw it happen!"

Naruto and Sasuke turn, their faces twisting in alarm. "Sakura, what happened?" Naruto demands, his voice urgent and shaking.

Sakura stumbles forward, her hands trembling as she tries to steady herself. "I was following Yui because I wanted to catch up with her and say hello. She was heading towards the restroom, and then I saw a masked figure grab her. They dragged her away into the shadows!"

Kakashi's face turns even paler as he processes the information. "Danzo... If he's involved, this is far worse than we anticipated."

Kurenai's eyes widen with fear. "This is a nightmare. If Danzo is behind this, he's always a step ahead."

Hiruzen's voice is authoritative but tinged with worry. "Everyone, listen carefully! We're dealing with a critical situation. Kakashi, you have full authority to use every resource available. We need to find Yui and bring her back safely. Time is of the essence."

Kakashi's voice is tight with tension. "I'll assemble a team right away. We need to cover the entire festival area and then expand our search. We can't afford to miss any leads."

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura exchange desperate glances. "We're coming with you," Naruto says firmly. "We can't just stay here while Yui is out there."

"No!" Kakashi's voice is sharp with urgency. "It's too dangerous. You need to stay here and provide any additional information that might help us."

Sakura's eyes are wide with panic. "But we can't just sit here! We have to do something!"

Hiruzen places a reassuring hand on Sakura's shoulder. "We understand your fear and frustration, but we need to focus on finding Yui. You'll be safer here, and your information will be crucial."

As Kakashi quickly assembles his team, the office is filled with frenetic energy. The Hokage's office transforms into a chaotic hub of activity, with everyone scrambling to organize the search. The gravity of the situation hangs heavily in the air, each second ticking by with the mounting urgency of what might happen if they don't act quickly.

Kakashi turns to his team, his face a mask of grim determination despite the panic in his eyes. "We need to cover the festival grounds thoroughly and then expand our search. Be vigilant and look for any sign of Yui or Danzo."

The team nods, their expressions grim and resolute. As they prepare to leave, the atmosphere is electric with tension. The village is mobilizing, every available resource being directed towards finding Yui. The stakes are high, and the sense of impending danger is palpable.

Kakashi, accompanied by his team, races towards the festival grounds with a sense of urgency. The festival, once a place of joy, is now a backdrop to their frantic search. The streets are still filled with people, but the festive atmosphere feels hollow against the backdrop of their mission.

As Kakashi's team begins their search, the sense of urgency is almost overwhelming. Each second feels like an eternity, and the weight of their task presses heavily on them. The search for Yui is now a race against time, with every heartbeat echoing with the fear of what might happen if they fail to find her before it's too late.

The night is dark and heavy with tension as the search continues. The streets are filled with anxious villagers, their expressions reflecting the gravity of the situation. Kakashi's team moves with purpose, their eyes scanning every shadow, every corner, desperate to find any trace of Yui before the night closes in.

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen, Kurenai, and the Elders remain on high alert, their faces etched with worry. The situation is critical, and the weight of responsibility presses heavily on them as they await any news from the search.

The village's hope rests on the shoulders of Kakashi's team, and the sense of urgency is almost tangible. Every moment counts in their desperate quest to find Yui and bring her back before it's too late.
