Tenkūgakure ANBU

The Tenkūgakure ANBU (天空れの暗部, Tenkūgakure no ANBU) is a specialized unit of elite shinobi whom serve the Eiyōkage directly. Unlike most shinobi villages, the ANBU Corps of Tenkūgakure is not apart of the village's regular forces and operates as its own branch of the military. Only the most dangerous missions fall to the hands of the ANBU, such as espionage, assassinations, torture, the eradication of rogue shinobi, and other sensitive tasks. Each and every member of the Tenkūgakure ANBU is hand-picked by the Eiyōkage himself and undergo rigorous trials in order to gain final approval into the ranks. At present, there is a single subdivisions present within the ANBU: Zuijin, a unit of adept shinobi whom protect the Eiyōkage and the Air Daimyō at all times; and are dedicated to the elimination of any and all. Both this division and its subdivision are headed and represented by the ANBU Commander, who also answers directly to the reigning Eiyōkage.
