Taka

Taka (鷹) is a criminal team created by Takumi Uchiha existing outside the system of ninja villages. The group's main activities are grand theft primarily to fuel Takumi's objective of becoming notorious; for this, the group's members enjoy access to larger shares of the profit due to their leader taking less of it.

History
Shortly after his re-emergence from Ryuchi Cave, Takumi recruited Kiyoshi Nara to assist him in the armed robbery of a nearby lord's estate; he desired teammates who would look up to him and praise him, but also knew he would need assistance. The two swiftly stormed the building, easily defeated the lord's guards, and broke into his vault. Takumi summoned Kiroeri, who then swallowed up the contents of the vault.

Some time later, Takumi looked into the Bingo Books for additional recruits. Among his slew of candidates was rogue Jinchuriki Hikari Mitabe and the Shinju thief Naomi Shiame. He went and tracked down Naomi to find that she was accompanying the Jinchuriki. Hikari agreed to join without much fuss, but the other demanded a fight. After a brief clash, Takumi established to the Shinju-nin that he was stronger, causing her to surrender and agree to join. Later that day, the group stopped for dango and the subject of names came up. Initially, Zetto (Hikari) suggested Hebi, but Naomi said something obnoxious that ruined the name for Takumi. Her next suggestion, Taka, however, landed well and was made official.

Uniforms
The members of Taka employ no proper uniform, but all members make sure to dress fashionably. Takumi is personally fueled by his own expensive tastes, while Naomi is influenced by the fashion of her home village. Kiyoshi Nara is noted for his unusual and distinct manner of dress for a shinobi. Eventually, the the group pressures Zetto into getting dressing more elegantly.
