Ryūha Armament Alliance
CharacterThe Ryūha Armament Alliance is a militant faction that took shape in the Land of Waves once the Fourth Shinobi World War had ended. Drawing on ideals championed by Madara Uchiha, this band of rogue ninja wants to purge society of what it views as money's corrupting hold on the world.
Overview
Introduced in the novel Kakashi Hiden: Lightning in the Icy Sky, the Ryūha Armament Alliance is a coalition that rose out of the Land of Waves during the uneasy peace that followed the Fourth Shinobi World War. Its Japanese name translates roughly to Dragon Wave Armament Alliance, and the group functions as a paramilitary movement rather than an official village unit.
Role
At the heart of the Alliance lies a radical goal, freeing humanity from what it sees as the corrupting grip that wealth holds over the world. The faction borrows this conviction from the philosophy Madara Uchiha once espoused, casting money as the root cause of society's decay. Acting on that belief, the Alliance takes up arms to reshape the world along its own terms.
