Yūgure Kitsune

Yūgure Kitsune  (夕暮れキツネ ; Litterally "The Twilight Fox." ) Yūgure Kitsune  is a classified Konohagakure based secret organization created by Laqualassiel of Fanfiction.net.

Background
The  Yūgure Kitsune was founded by the Sandaime Hokage and Uzumaki Yuri for the express purpose of creating shinobi strong enough to deal with dangerous S- and SS-rank criminals. This organization is lead by Uzumaki Yuri, known as "Ibara" ("Rose" in English") and "Kasai" ("Fire"), normally known as Nara Shikamaru. Originally, the group consisted of Yuri, Mitarashi Anko, and an ANBU known as Yamato. As more members were recruited and trained, the group was split into two groups, one led by Yuri, the other led by Shikamaru.

The only people who know of the group are the Sandaime Hokage and the Shinobi Council, though the Sandaime is the only person outside of the Yūgure Kitsune who knows the identities of its members.

Group Structure
All recruits are handpicked by Uzumaki Yuri and Nara Shikamaru before being approved by the Sandaime Hokage. After approval, the potential recruits - and their guardians/ clan heads if necessary - are approached with an offer to join an extensive - and secret - training program by the Hokage. If the recruit accepts, he or she is given further instructions. Should the recruit refuse, the matter is never brought up again. (Though there were exceptions as with Nara Shikamaru and Sarutobi Asuma.)
