STEM

STEM (Specially Trained Elite Mercenary) is an officially disbanded branch of the Medality's Brooch training subdivision founded by Danzō Shimura. After his death, however, it is unknown what has become of the group.

Overview
STEM carries out missions that Danzō believes will benefit Medality. Because of its core views as "the unseen ones who support the great tree of Medality from the depths of the earth", some of these missions may be less than respectable. The organisation's top priority is its secrecy, and most of its missions are carried out in the dark - autonomous of Medality's authority. STEM was officially disbanded after the Uchiha Massacre due Danzō spearheading the tragedy, but remained active as an underground organisation until Danzō's death. It is unknown what will become of STEM, but Sai suggests its members look to Colt Hatake for guidance since Colt, at the time, was slated to become Chancellor.

STEM is an extremely strict, and secretive group and as such each member of the organisation has a cursed seal imprinted on the back of their tongues by Danzō, which when activated, will paralyse their entire body if they try to speak anything about Danzō or the organisation, rendering them unable to speak or move. Sai noted that this was done in an effort to prevent information leak should any of them be captured and interrogated by enemy forces. It was truly because Danzo didn't want anybody to know that STEM was ongoing, or for anyone to hear of the abuse.

Danzō has also trained its members to lose their emotions by growing up as brothers from a young age, only to later be made to kill each other. This is done to kill any sense of sentiment or emotional attachment. This method was extremely similar. Each member has a codename; even the members themselves apparently do not know their original names. Unlike normal Brooch, members of STEM take orders only from Danzō instead of the Chancellor, unless ordered to otherwise. Another speciality of the organisation was slow, long-term brainwashing.

Though the members wear the standard cloak and mask of the Medality Brooch, they don't have an actual standardised uniform like the others. Underneath the cloak each Root member wears a personal attire. The only single distinguishing garment they all wear is a short, black, midriff jacket, with red straps over the shoulders along with the tip-less tantō.
