The Underground

-Third person's pov.-
//The Hokage building //

"This is unacceptable!!" The 3rd Hokage shouts as he looks out the widow of the meeting hall and watches the smoke rise from the Doragon Compound. 

"How did this happen?"

The Hokage, along with all top rank ninja were in the Kage office. At dawn, when word of what happened had reached the Kage, he called a meeting. The ninja were all tense as they watched their leader blow a gasket while trying to remain calm.

"They knocked out the guards by the gates and then proceeded to knock of all other ninja they came across which just happened to be new Chunin." A random ninja says from his spot in the office.

The Hokage sighs and rubs his temples, with a sigh he turns around and sits on his big pillow, "I'm getting too old for this. How is the Doragon Clan handling the loss of its members?"

The silence is deafening as Kōri clears his throat. He was the only one out of the main family to have arrived to the meeting as the others were either helping with the damage or out on search flights.

"It is hard," Kōri begins as he looks the Kage in the eye, a dead look in his own, "It is hard knowing there is nothing we could've done to help save one of our own from being kidnapped and even more so for those who lost their lives in the pursuit. We are grieving, but are willing to lend any support needed to get back at Kumo."

Muttering breaks out through the ninja gathered but are quickly silenced by the Kage hitting his pipe on his tabasco cup. A shadow passes over the 3rd Hokage's face before he blows out a puff of smoke. Nodding to signal he heard him, he scans the room before speaking.

"It is true. Kumo was responsible for this." He then takes in a breath of smoke before speaking again, "But at the same time, it wasn't."

This caused muttering to break out again, only to be silenced the same way.

Sighing the Hokage tips his hat down a bit, "Cowards. That's who the people are. I've gotten into contact with the Raikage who has told me similar events such as this has been happening in their lands as well. The credit though, goes to a group who has been carving the insignia of Kumo into its victims doors."

A random ninja then coughs into his fist before speaking, "What do they use the kidnapped people for then? What do they gain?"

The Hokage sighs again, "Gladiator fights, Black Market organs, Slaves, take your pick. But thanks to the work of the group that persuaded the figures leaving the village with Yuki, we were able to figure out which branch she would be taken to; by using the body they brought back, as well as info from both us and Kumo."

Kōri looks at the Hokage in slight panic as he waits to hear the fate of his precious little sister.

"The gloater fights. Or as they call it 'The Underground.'"

-Yuki's pov.-

"Oh... My head..." I mumble as I try to sit up, only for a sharp pain to shoot up my wings and into my back.

Gasping in pain, I blink a couple times waiting the pain out before looking toward my back. Upon looking, I notice a man wrapping bandages around them.
