Hashira

Hashiro (柱, literally meaning: counter for gods) is a criminal organisation based within the Land of Sunrise, acting as a sort of government for the small nation, with their main source of incoming not only being from the nation's taxes but from their additional trading business, specialising in Kekkei Genkai (血継限界, Literally meaning: Bloodline Limit) and Kinjutsu (禁術, Literally meaning: Forbidden Techniques), this group has an almost unlimited amount of funding. The group has kept their small nation relatively peaceful and thriving for over hundreds of years.

The main purpose of this organisation is to preserve the ways of their homeland, through any means necessary. For this reason, Hashira has discouraged contact, or even the mentioning, of the outside world, deeming the various nations which inhabit the rest of the world, aside from itself, to be great danger, to not only their country but to the earth itself. This has lead to the small country investing an exorbitant amount of money into its' military forces, to not only defend themselves in the chance of an attack, but to wage war on any nation which is not willing to comply with their demands. Despite their views of the outer world, Hashira has a vast network of trade routes which run through the five great nations, trading mainly in kekkei genkai wielders and sometimes even kinjutsu, in a bod to increase their military might however due to the isolation of the island, the shinobi union is unaware of the growing threat that is Hashira.
