Wutai Army
A nation of ninjas standing apart from the industrial tide of Shinra.
The Wutai Army represents the military forces of the nation of Wutai, defined by its reliance on ninja clans and ancient traditions rather than industrial might.

Their mission involves infiltrating Shinra facilities to steal the "Ultimate Materia," showcasing the faction's continued focus on agility and stealth against the megacorporation's overwhelming technological superiority.
