Kara is an organization that features in Naruto.

History

Kara (Japanese: 殻カラ, Viz: The Husk, Literally meaning: "Shell" or "Husk") were a secret society that were created in the Ninja World by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. When Isshiki Ōtsutsuki came to earth over one thousand years ago to cultivate a chakra fruit, he was betrayed by his subordinate partner, Kaguya, who injured him to the point of near death. Desperately clinging to life, Isshiki parasitically invaded Jigen, a monk who happened to be nearby. Using Jigen as a host body, Isshiki went onto to found the secret society, Kara as its leader, which recruited a group of people — the Inners — to assist him in cultivating a new God Tree to collect its chakra fruit, under the promise that their personal wishes would be fulfilled. Amado Sanzu, the chief scientist of the organisation, modified every member with advanced Shinobi-Ware that they had an unwitting Katasuke Tōno deliver to them. Due to losing Kaguya, Isshiki intended to feed himself to the Ten-Tails to have it bloom into the God Tree, as there were no other Ōtsutsuki to sacrifice. However, with his body being so critically and irreparably damaged by Kaguya and his current vessel of Jigen being incompatible with the Kāma, this would produce an inferior Chakra Fruit. To circumvent this, Isshiki began preparing a new vessel for his Kāma to properly continue his survival, having purchased fifteen orphaned children to carry out his experiments to ensure his next body would be suitable for a full lifetime, with Kawaki being the result. Delta noted that Isshiki's investment in preparing his vessel was enough to buy an entire country. Kawaki's development, along with the God Tree's cultivation, became factors that had Kara pressed for time in their goals.

Overview

In appearance, Kara was a secret organization that operated in the world. The secret society has accumulated a great deal of wealth and political influence, makes use of Scientific Ninja Tools, and communicates over long range via genjutsu.

The group was divided into two groups named the Inners (内陣インナー, Innā) and the Outers (外陣アウトー, Autō), with each of the Inners being in charge of a particular region. Each Inner appeared to bear a facial tattoo of a Roman numeral and wears a black hooded cloak with coloured lining, fastened at the right shoulder with a metal pin; all Inners are regarded as completely monstrous in power. The Inners were the backbone of the organisation, as if everyone of them are out of commission, the Outers would effectively cease to function, and Kara would come to an end. Outers are individuals who support Kara's ideology from the outside and complete missions requested by the Inners, acting as conspirators, sleeper agents, and spies. Members include politicians and merchants, some of whom actively work to undermine the rule of the Daimyō and Kage. Regardless of their loyalty, Outers are easily expendable for the organisation.

A key item of development made by Kara was in the field of Scientific Ninja Tools (科学忍具, Kagaku Ningu) that were a class of advanced ninja tools. In fact, the Outers were also partly responsible for the widespread development and proliferation of Scientific Ninja Tools; as the Outers include engineers and scientists from various villages, they are able to significantly develop and improve the tools before bringing them back to Kara, leading to them possessing the latest in technology and engineering.

Another technology that developed further by Kara were Integrated Mechanical Ninja Tools (内蔵機械忍具, Naizō Kikai Ningu). This Shinobi-Ware (シノビ・ウェアー, Shinobi Ueā) were bionic type scientific ninja tools that had been developed to be used as prosthetics or implants for both civilian and combat use. Members of Kara possessed advanced Shinobi-Ware after Katasuke's research was stolen and the designs were expanded upon by Kara Inner Amado Sanzu.
