Group Name: Yoikatsu - (Break of Twilight)
Information: Not a true organisation but a group of skilled ninjas known as the Yoikatsu. They are a band of 6 ninjas who are exceptional shinobi who have earned their nickname through their excellent teamwork and strategies. Their reputation, although still not widely known is gradually growing. Each time a member dies, their successor must be quickly found, whether they're a direct relative or someone who has the capable skills of succeeding the role. Although there is no direct leader and the members of the group act mlostly independantly, a member is elected to become leader. The role of leader merely brings him more power in decisions but he is unable to independantly kick out members or bring in new members without the say of the rest of the group.
Member's of Yoikatsu are tatooed with a special emblem of the group, and also their representative symbol:
Note: This isn't an official group or organisation. It's name is only relative to how its members live up to it. Hence, Yoikatsu doesn't mean anything unless the people who are part of the group are truly exceptional.

History: The Yoikatsu was originally formed to combat a skilled ninja known as Asura Iwaku many years ago. Known as the Demon-God Shinobi, he was born on the battlefield in a time when all the ninja villages were at war. It was said that he had slaughtered 100 ninjas in just a day's outing, but when the wars were over and Konoha returned to peace, his killing urge could not be satisified. He left Konoha as a missing-nin but not before committing a series of murders.
The Iwaku family was dishonoured by the one known as Asura. They negotiated with the Hokage at the time, that they shrould be the ones to hunt down their brother instead of the Anbu. The Hokage at the time, accepted, and Asura's 6 younger brothers took up arms. Each was tattooed to symbolise their fury, and their promise to slay their elder brother. After many days, they had finally found Asura and in a fierce fight they slew their elder brother.
In order to make sure that a member of the family would never betray Konoha again, they trained themselves rigorously to become skilled shinobi's so that when the time would come, they would slay their fellow brethren. Thus, they began to make a name for themselves, and the nickname Yoikatsu appeared for the band of brothers. However, the group would not last long. As each brother died either through warfare or old age, successors were needed but the family did not have enough sons. The name Yoikatsu had basically died out even though the group still existed. Gradually, the group became a mix of different shinobi from different clans and families, all picked for their skills. The name Yoikatsu, was once more, gaining a reputation.
