Masanari was deemed both corrupt and inept, and in 1606, the Kirigakure rebelled against him and began to delve deeper into secrecy. The Kirigakure publicly sent men to serve under the Tokugawa Shogunate, with the rest of the Network returning to it's roots as an independent agency until the Shogunate's collapse.

By the Second World War, the Kirigakure was split between four cells. One infiltrated the Yakuza, posing as an organization known as the "Nikkyo Consortium", the top-secret, covert operations subsidiary of the Tojo Clan, one of the two rivaling Yakuza Clans at the time. The other three branches infiltrated the Japanese government, the Zaibatsu, and the general populace.
