Seijin Council

The Seijin Council (賢人の会, shiyakusho no seijin; literally "Council of Sages") is, as it's name implies, a council of shinobi (and Jinchūriki on rare occasions) that have joined together following the downfall of former Uchiha clan founder, Madara Uchiha. At the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War, the remaining members of the Shinobi Alliance had assembled shinobi who show immense wisdom and prowess in the ninja arts, in order to provide new guards for the Ninja World's future security. The Seijin Temple, which is the main Headquarters for the Council, finds it's location in the center of the Shinobi World, the Land of Rain. Besides the temple, the Council has stations found in the all five Great Nations as well as the smaller outlying nations, even the Land of Iron.

The shinobi that make up the ranks of the Council have obtained the classifaction of Sage (セージ, seijin). Seijin believe in the unification and harmony of natural energy]. There is a limit of five members who can sit on the Council at any time; two lifetime members from the villages of Konohagakure and Sunagakure (these villages are the ones who initially proposed the idea of the Order), one member from Kumogakure who sits on the council as long as they want and then steps down when they felt the need (in honor of the Raikage who led the Shinobi Alliance), and two that change regularly from Iwagakure and Kirigakure.
