黒鵺
— Kuro Nue, "Black Chimera"

Since generations past, balance has become the necessity in all things running parallel to order. For that reason, this Organization has been formed. Enter Kuro Nue, "The Black Chimera", a clandestine group of individuals hailing from all manner of background. First born from the mind of one of Amegakure's greatest shinobi, Uchiha Anotsu, the Kuro Nue seek to establish an invisible presence beneath the foundation of the shinobi villages and their rulers. While not directly interfering in the ministrations and machinations of the villages, themselves, the Chimera pursue a certain rooting in the politics, the resources, the negotiations that turn thoughts into actions, ideals into law. Throughout the ages, it has been the most cunning minds, the bravest hearts, that turn the tides of war. To that end, the Kuro Nue exists to facilitate these gears that have been called to create change.

Their goal? Simple: to shape change, to amass wealth, to obtain and maintain a plethora of resources, and to ensure that balance is maintained between villages.

Secretly funded and approved by the KazeKage, the base for the Kuro Nue rests within a large gathering of land surrounded by mountain and valley alike - a natural defense against spies and intruders. Though located within the Land of Wind, one would also still be hard pressed to locate Amegakure if offered home in the Chimera's inner residencies. A select few are knowledgeable to the underground pathways and tunnels back to the village, the Nue's voluminous size hosting establishments aplenty. To offset any conspicuous activity or personnel, vendors and wanderers have been given special privilege in setting their roots onto the grounds. With this in place, hiding in plain sight has never been easier. No more opulent than what is normal for society, the tallest and most fortified structures are home to the members of the Kuro Nue. Each resident is vetted thoroughly, a regular census count held at inconsistent points to ensure the validity of every person who enters and exits. Security is outsourced by the KazeKage and Anotsu only, extremely skilled and formidable shinobi lining each channel that leads in and out of the Nue's grounds.



An almost perpetual rain is still located here, every nook and cranny of the Chimera Base a potential meeting spot or gathering place. Rotating passwords and gestures keep these intended destinations random, allowing secrecy and an ever changing pattern to confuse and dissuade the curious. Ultimately, all manner of social status can be found within Kuro Nue territory.

Further back behind the Kuro Nue's territory, its veteran and senior members take up residence at homes scattered throughout a valley of lush forestry. Homes of immaculate design are built to the specifications of their residents, though a common theme of the shinobi's standard living are still evident. Security and personnel reside upon each set of grounds at the Kuro Nue member's request. Like the villages, these homes play host to meetings and gatherings that sit above the paygrade of the lower ranks. This is not to say that the higher ranked are superior - every member in the Kuro Nue is a piece to the puzzle. There are also direct passageways and underground routes back to the entrance of the base of operations, weapons and mechanisms ensuring that none would be caught off guard in the event of attack or exposure.



Thanks to Amegakure's technological advances, certain districts found within the Kuro Nue's Base of Operations play host to the more lucrative side of its foundation. These streets and alleyways are more quiet in nature, home to the more wealthy of the medium population that desire to reside in "a world apart" from the common. A more strict vetting process takes place here, brilliant minds in the world of science and finance also conducting research within such luxurious confines. Special privilege must be acquired before one is able to traverse these grounds. Still, none are able to escape the nearly endless rain that pours down and blankets the Kuro Nue's base.
