Kosunahogo

Kosunahogo is an ancient order of powerful warriors created by an ancient shinobi who wished to offer protection to the village of Sunagakure. Under times of great catastrophe, they would appear, ready to take on any challenge they faced. They once fought Shukaku when he attacked the village long ago. Though it killed them, they were successful in sealing the beast into who would become the first Jinchuriki of Shukaku. Since then, their spirits roam the Land of Wind, waiting for Sunagakure's call of danger. During that time, their power would allow them to take on a corporeal form and fight off the threat without fear of injury or death. They were amongst the first to use the golden sand, which is what their weapons are created from. With these weapons, they protect Sunagakure with their might. Under the mage's influence, their powers become vastly superior to virtually any threat they come up against.
