Affiliation: Hadokawa Clan - more accurately - their Daimyo

History: Created over two hundred years ago by Hadokawa Heihachi - one of the most ruthless and paranoic daimyo that held the title. As his rule brought much dismay on the Clan itself, cutting many bonds to other families - this organisation was probably the single thing that Heihachi did well. As mentioned, born from daimyos paranoia and wrong interpretations of his ancestors vows - he created a top secret organisation that had but a simple agenda. To maintain the balance of the forces in the world of Shinobi. Since its founding days - Shoku eliminated countless enemies to the Clan and any potantial hazards that could create a threat to the country of even known world itself.
Organisation history is maintained mostly through records of their deeds, rather than events which took place. Moreover - the history is kept recorded by every members dossier, which creates a list of actions undertaken by this secretive organisation, thus creating a complex and difficult to understand web of events that need to be connected together, only to form a vague and often chaotic story of what really happened.
Purpose: Their sole goal is to act as a balancing factor and to even out the odds in terms of global balance. Some might say they are merely peacekeepers, other will call them blatant murderers and terrorists even. Since their methods are far from clean and fair - they would be the most hated and despised organisation even. Only if someone outside of the Clan would be aware of their existence. For their another major goal is to remain undetected and invisible to worlds perception. You cannot blame someone you have no idea of existence in the first place.
The Shoku utilise a very strict rule that enforces a captive agent to kill himself or do anything that the circumstances will call for - to ensure that the information they carry will never be brought to the light. This often results in utilising a special jutsu which calls forth the Shinigami, to take their soul into the deepest and darkest place of their domain - never to be brought up for questioning both in body or soul. Such action is often treated as a highest sacrifice and ensures those related to agent - to be properly compensated for such sacrifice.
Unique Features: They use various forms of calls and responds to determine wether or not they are to share their info with a designated contact. Every single member of the organisation has a seal tattooed over his pallate to prevent from speaking against other members, giving out secrets or acting against the Clan.
Rankings: Every member of this organisation has the same rank towards the others, making everyone equal. Despite the equality, everyone is given a proper codename to utilise, given directly from the Daimyo.
