Kara (殻, Viz: The Husk, literally meaning: "Shell" or "Husk") is an organisation whose motive-of-operation is mostly unknown. However, according to Koji Kashin their agenda carries sinister intent for the world at large. Their history is also currently unknown, but they appear to be gathering intel on various juinjutsu, including those borne by Boruto Uzumaki and Kawaki, with the latter seemingly being very important to their schemes, labeling him 'the vessel' and going great lengths to retrieve him.
The group is made up of "Inners" (内陣, Innā) and "Outers" (外陣, Autō), with each of the Inners being in charge of a particular region. Each Inner appears to bear a facial tattoo of a Roman numeral and wears a black hooded cloak with red lining, fastened at the right shoulder with a silver pin. Outers are people who assist Kara from the outside to complete missions requested by the Inners. There are many people who make use of Scientific Ninja Tools in the organisation's possession.
The organisation has accumulated a great deal of wealth, makes use of Scientific Ninja Tools, and communicates over long range via genjutsu.

Trivia
- The kanji used for the two divisions of the organisation are naijin (内陣) and gejin (外陣), respectively referring to the sanctum and the nave of a Heian-style Buddhist temple. When broken into individual kanji, they can be read literally as "inner team" and "outer team".
- While not a member, Kawaki has a Roman numeral Ⅸ tattoo, which is located under his left eye.
- While Katasuke Tōno was never a direct member, was placed under genjutsu by a Kara agent, which made him act on the group's objectives, which revolved around the development of scientific ninja tools and industrial espionage.
