Yaksha

*"When the Red Moon rises it is followed by a sea of blood. This was told to me the day I became a true ninja. I may have left my village behind, but the truth still rings true. Red clouds are only present when there is a Red Moon. The Akatsuki may bring the sea of blood, but only if the Red Moon lights the way. You are our red moon, and it is your job to illuminate the sky. So go out there, and find our targets so we can teach them Pain."* Tsubame to Yaksha.

## Introduction

Yaksha is a sub branch of the legendary Ninja organization Akatsuki
. The branch was created as a counter measure against the fame and wanted status of the core members of Akatsuki. Due to most of them being S rank criminals and are located in most of the major Shinobi nations bingo book espionage is difficult. As a result a sub organization was created in order to facilitate this job, and that organization was Yaksha.

Named after a demon Yaksha was designed to be a fearsome and effective intelligence and counter intelligence organization focus on finding out information on the jinchuriki. Their job is to locate them, discover what defenses are in place to defend them, sabotage those defenses, inform the main organization, and if possible to capture the Jinchuriki. If not possible they should engage them to prevent escape till a proper Akatsuki team arrives to do the job.

In order for the organization to work properly there are three requirements every member must fulfill. The first is that they have to not be from any of the five great Shinobi villages. Second they must be missing nin. The last is that they must be of chunin rank in skill to join. If a candidate does not match these standards then they are rejected from recruitment and killed.

## Goal

Every member of Yaksha has their own goal and objectives. No one joins Yaksha out of simple boredom, well almost no one. The organization goal is to find all the Jinchuriki and capture them. That way they can create a weapon from them that will end all wars. Peace through mutually assured destruction.

## Rank and Structure

There are only seven members of Yaksha. Unlike the Akatsuki they all work together as a team in order to get their missions done. As a result their structure is not as simple. Each member holds equal rank until a mission starts. Once the mission starts the Overseer, will name a member the Yaksha. The yaksha is the team leader for that mission and is in charge of running the operations.

The Yaksha is determined by experience with the region, organization, or target they are moving against. If all are equal in ignorance then the Overseer will chose the one they think is most talented to lead. The Yaksha's job in a mission is simply to organize their efforts and keep track of everyone. Their main goal is to keep members from getting off track. They also keep a eye out for traitors.

The Overseer is a full member of Akatsuki who is assigned to watching over Yaksha. The current overseer is Tsubame, but the position can change on the fly if she is needed to go back into the field. If that happens another member of Akatsuki will be assigned to oversee the group temporary. The overseers job is to chose a Yaksha for a mission, and to watch the group as a whole. If they look as if they are going to betray or are incompetent enough at their job that they might expose the rest of the organization the overseer eliminates them. When the group is not on missions the overseer recruits if there are missing members, or picks out their next target. They also report the groups findings to the organization as a whole and they are the one in charge of paying members of Yaksha.
