Enlightened Ones

The are former shinobi — almost exclusively young, single men — who left their hidden village in order to join Gengo following the aftermath of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Like Akatsuki, they are dissatisfied with the current system of shinobi; they seek to replace the current ruling class of normal people and put shinobi in control of the world. To that end, they offer missions at significantly lower prices than the competing Shinobi Union. Enlightened Ones are characterised by the long black cloaks they wear and their vehement loyalty to Gengo; many whom were placed under his voice-induced genjutsu into becoming his obedient subjects.
