Investigate Kuma’s disappearance
After you spoke to the woman who hasn’t seen her daugther in a few days, head over to the Dojo, which is in plain sight. There is a total of three persons you can talk to; sadly no one has any valuable information on her whereabouts.

Speak to the Ronin at the Dojo
On the backside of the Dojo, a Straw Hat wants our attention.
Follow the Ronin
Approach and follow him to a secluded area, as he does not want to speak while anyone else is listening.

 |
Search for the Numanaka Inn
The Ronin knows where Kuma is located – she is at the Numanaka Inn, close to the middle of Toyotama. If you happen to have a fast-travel point unlocked nearby, use it to save some time.

 |
Find Kuma
As expected, the area features some enemies – about a dozen in total.
 |
 |
However, they are only low-level bandits – no brutes or leaders to worry about. Thin out their numbers by stealth, if you like, or simply rush them, to get it over quicker.
Once you have cleared the enemies out of the way, search for Kuma. She will be on the upper floor of the Inn.
Lead Kuma to Safety
Jin wants to take her to a safer place. Head out of the building and to wards the gate, where the mission marker points us.
Kuma’s mother is sitting there, tied up by one of the three men we spoke to earlier in Umugi Cove.
Time to end Sanetoki in a Duel. He does not have any special abilites to worry about, so the general tactics of other Duel’s applies: Watch out, when his weapon emits a red or blue glow and dodge/parry accordingly, followed by some quick counter-attacks.
Once he is down, speak to both women.
This finishes the A Thief of Innocence quest in Ghost of Tsushima.
