Black Crown (CoD)

🇨🇩 "Chakra is the original sin."

Black Crown (黒梢, Kurokozue; Literally "dark treetop") is a global militant terrorist organization motivated by the beliefs of Kurozome. Originally, Black Crown operated as an extremist faction of the religion, but over time Kurozome, considered a cult, faded out while Black Crown continued to rise in prominence. Now, Black Crown operates as a network comprising both a multinational, stateless army and several underground criminal operations. The Black Crown considers itself to be an advocate for the will and calls for a return of the God Tree. In its modern form, it is believed to have been founded some time after the, though by who is unknown.

Black Crown has launched assaults in all major shinobi countries as well as many of their minor neighboring countries, targeting both civilians and military personnel. Their targets include non-believers, which originally included fellow Kurozome followers who identified themselves as "kyūkonoshita" (休木の下, resting under the tree, co-existent with shinobi). Having eradicated the pacifistic "heretics" of Kurozome, Black Crown now seeks to establish a ruling world order. While they have successfully remained underground, largely hidden from the, they are known by their mark: an image of the God Tree's budding flower, which represents the rebirth of the Shinju.
