The Nations, Great and Minor, could simply not afford to send out their remaining personnel on international missions. Instead, their focus was primarily upon reconstructing their respective economies and doing their best to defend and maintain their national territories. Whilst this era was the definition of Hell for the Hidden Villages and their nations, it was also a golden opportunity! For those who had practically lost all they knew on the field of battle, there were no families to return to...and a handful of such individuals banded together in order to make the best of their predicament. As opposed to returning home after the War, they ventured off; thereby becoming considered KIA until otherwise identified whilst on the job. Choosing the ultimate scavenger as their symbol to rally behind, Hagetaka was formed. Together, these men and women began to offer their services to the struggling nations and made quite the impressive sum of cash doing so. Regardless of how dangerous the mission or how far away it was, Hagetaka was gladly on the case. This trend continued for years, gaining the organization a moderate reputation. While they were leagues upon leagues away from becoming anywhere near as famous as other mercenary groups, they surely were making a name for themselves throughout the known world. In fact, their reputation is what led them to be offered a literal mountain of money in order to lend their services in a more...peaceful role. When the Land of Valleys extended to them the opportunity to train their citizens, Hagetaka eagerly accepted the task. However, after five years of this tutelage, some of the members began to get antsy. A schism occurred, but surprisingly it was one that left the members on good terms with one another. Some simply chose to stay in the Land of Valleys in order to assist the growth of the Hidden Village they had helped create. Others decided to bid the country farewell and continue on, taking their services to the road. To this day, any client with enough coin could easily find and commission the services of Hagetaka; regardless of how dangerous the mission may be.
