Sons of the Shadows

Background
The Sons of the Shadows are a group of nomadic mercanaries consisting of three Clans. The uniform for the Sons of the Shadows is simple black cloaks. Most however wear their own clothing, although they do keep it black. They function more or less the same way as a Hidden Village, the one key differance being that the leaders are often assassinated. When young shinobi become genin they are tattooed with the Kanji for Darkness. For the first year genin only do border patrols. Once their jonin beleives they are ready he/she teaches his/her squad Genjutsu: Infinite Darkness Jutsu. After word they begin getting assassination contracts. Once the genin qualify for the Chunin Exams they are taught the Shadow Assembly Jutsu.
