This caused many of their midst to abandon the main family and to seek out their own fortune within the world. It was shortly after this event that the reigning clan leader, Kaidan Nomura, was sired by one of the wandering shinobi bearing the family name.

Reunification
Shortly after the events of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Nomura Clan's scattered midst were finally reunited as a single unit. This was due to the many months of diligent, tireless searching underwent by Kaidan Nomura. Despite his youth compared to many of the clan members, he was unanimously recognized as the undisputed leader of the clan shortly thereafter. Under his leadership, the Nomura Clan sought out and met with the Eiyōkage of Tenkūgakure. Here, they bargained for asylum within the hidden village, as many of their midst had defected from their own villages and were being constantly pursued by bounty hunters, ANBU, and the like.

In exchange for serving within the military forces of the village, the clan was permitted to take up residence within the Land of Air. Due to the fact that the nation had an existing reputation for taking in missing-nin, bandits, rogues, and other deviant members of society, the Nomura were met with reception of such a warmness that it exceeded all of their expectations. Instead of seeing the Land of Air as a mere respite from those that desired to collect the bounties on their heads, they began to see it as much more: a place to truly call home. As such, the Nomura Clan began to dedicate themselves entirely to the service of Tenkūgakure, ultimately taking it upon themselves to restructure the existing ANBU into an exceptionally more effective unit.
