It was founded on the basis of weeding out impurities in the population and reclaiming the land for shinobi. Their primary goal, then, is to get rid of the daimyo and common people of the ninja nations, then of the lands beyond their borders since those who use jutsu are superior to those who don't. [*]Their secondary goal is to collect and spread existing jutsu to both strengthen the shinobi population and prevent jutsu from disappearing into history. Thus, they respect strength and power and are against the notion of forbidden jutsu since all jutsu has intrinsic value. [*]Though largely unspoken, a tertiary goal of theirs is the unification of all the shinobi countries. Since civilians easily outnumber shinobi, this unification is necessary for the Guren to amass enough power to challenge the civilian forces outside the shinobi nations. [*]Literally, their name means [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guren]'crimson-colored lotus',[/url] which is one of the eight cold hells. It derives its name from the shape of flesh that has cracked open due to the extreme cold of the hell, which can cause one's back to resemble a crimson lotus flower. [*]Taking inspiration from their name, the Guren's signature/MO is leaving a similar pattern of scarring on their victims, whether by use of ice, fire, lightning, or simple bladework. By doing this, they are able to portray their victims symbolically since those they target will live through the hells in the afterlife. Thus, the Guren help their victims repent for their sins.

[*]A stranger Team Six met in one of Kumogakure’s lightning temples as a clone. [*]Often wears an amused and somewhat chilling smile[/list][indent][hider=OOC Notes] [list][*]A descendant of the Wakahisa clan who was born a sickly child and who watched his loving, caring family burn during the rebellion of Doto Kazahana, the man who killed his own brother so he could crown himself daimyo with blood and steel. [*]Born as Akiyuki Wakahisa (晃雪 若久) but has since taken on the name Kannon to better serve as the figurehead of the Guren. [*]Still rather frail and sickly, but has gathered enough allies and followers that he rarely has to do much himself. [*]Partial to clones so can both accompany many people at once and avoid putting himself in harm's way. [*]Embodies the Guren spirit with his kekkei genkai since his ice reddens as the battle progresses, gradually absorbing the blood of his victims. [/list][/hider][/indent][/hider]
