Kurokage Yomino

Kurokage Yomino was a former jonin of Amegakure, later to become a missing-nin. He was killed by Hotaku Kamateru during an attack on the latter's team. Kurokage was hired to do so by Kitsunekamen of the Masked Shadows. He was known as Assassin of Shadows (Kage no Ansatsuha) because of his Secret Technique: Manipulated Darkness, which allowed him to manifest and manipulate his Yin-chakra in the form of shadows. He could use the shadows to both attack and defence, and they could defend against bost taijutsu and ninjutsu. In addition to this technique he had elemental techniques such as Fire Release: Flame call, which allowed him to manipulate pre-existing flames to attack his opponent, and Earth Release: Earth Spear Cage, which could protect him by calling out spears to rise from the earth around him. Kurokage Yomino was regarded a dangerous ninja and his name was pretty widely known, evident from the fact that both Hotaku and Gaara, the Kazekage, knew him by reputation.

At the time of his death, Kurokage had three accomplices, whose backgrounds were unclear, although they were known to be chunin-level missing-nin. It is known that Kurokage didn't care much of his followers.
