Akatsuki

The well-informed ninja record　－　Akatsuki
They discarded their hometowns, intending to accompany each other due to their similarities, the secret maneuvers of the
nine shinobi...do they have a supreme purpose assigned to them...?

The dawn is dyed red by this strange organisation

"Orochimaru has the Sharingan in his hands..."
"Itachi, your brother..."

CAPTION: The weird shadows which surface in the darkness. Is this their natural shape, and just what is their purpose?

"You don't say...Uchiha Itachi and"

Uchiha Itachi
The man who made "The Uchiha Clan" cease to exist. He owns the legendary "Mangekyou Sharingan".

Hoshigaki Kisame
He was called "the mysterious person of the hidden mist" and bore a role in the "Seven Shinobi Swordsmen".

"the mysterious person of the hidden mist, Hoshigaki Kisame is it?"

Personnel
The S Class criminals, whose names resound in every country----

"Akatsuki", made up of nine shinobi. Itachi destroyed his entire clan in one night, Hoshigaki Kisame committed Daimyo assassination. The majority of members are stated in the Bingo Book of each country. While acting in groups of two, it seems they do espionage activities in each country.

?
CAPTION: He watched over Naruto and Sasuke's battle, the true colours of Akatsuki are......?

Proof
A black robe with red clouds－－－

The clothes of the members of "Akatsuki" seem to be their common feature. As well as being S-class criminals, they belong to
this organisation and wrap themselves in the same costumes, can you call this proof of their unity...?

Head Protectors

CAPTION: Itachi's head protector, when he left in exile he cut a mark upon it.

KISAME: "Daimyo murder and attempted destruction of a country, with some suspicion from the Water Country, from each country
shinobis came searching for a named suspect"

CAPTION: Kisame's head protector has a similar mark to Itachi's.

Rings
CAPTION: The rings, which have engraved characters, are placed on that finger... Itachi has 'red', Orochimaru who has left
the organisation has the single character 'sky'.

CAPTION: On Kisame's finger, the 'south' ring. What is their inherent meaning?

Costume
Red clouds on black, the pattern of Akatsuki's costume. These gain public atention whether they mind or not, they are very
lively.

Power
They make sport of the Konoha elite---

The capability of Akatsuki is unknown, but the power of the two who visited Konoha are worthy of special mention. Itachi
makes sport of Sasuke again, as well as three Jounin. A glimpse of his enormous power.

CAPTION: Sasuke is dealt with like you'd twist the hand of a baby.

Objective
The thing the organisation seek---

"So...our objectives include the 'nine, tailed demons' for example... we are to get them all in our hands!!"

CAPTION: The pupils which float in the darkness---. He mutters "everything including the nine tailed demons"

It seems Akatsuki desire mighty power, beginning with the nine tailed demons. Their intended purpose is not certain, but they
say three years, they have already begun moving---.

The well-informed shinobi record　-　The Uchiha Clan
The village was protected because of their fire,　”The Uchiha in Konoha”　became admired for their genius "Uchiha Clan". Their rise and fall is written here.

Prosperity
They took charge of the public order of the village as Konoha's guardian deity---

From the dawning of Konoha they took charge of the village's public order, always protecting their proud clan. That was the 'Uchiha Clan'. This section of 'The five great shinobi countries' was born, the Fire Country. Owing to it's role as a military power, it possesses many elite shinobi corps as the strongest hidden village - the hidden village of Konoha. Furthermore, their ability which possessed the foremost power in Konoha, saying that they brought present Konoha's prosperity would not be an overstatement.

CAPTION: The clan maintained the peace of the village of Konoha.

House Crest
The attention of 'the people who hold the Uchiha fire manipulation'.

For generations the 'Uchiha Clan' lived in a residential area of the village, the house crest of 'Uchiha' could be seen everywhere. This means 'the people who hold the Uchiha fire manipulation' for generations have, by means of fire, have shown their pride in protecting the village. Therefore, when a shinobi of this clan reached a point where they could handle fire element ninjutsu for the first time, their full adulthood was made to be recognised.

"quickly return home"

CAPTION: Everywhere in daily life, the crest can be viewed...

CAPTION: The foundation ninjutsu of the clan's 'fire manipulation' is 'goukakyuu no jutsu' (great fireball no jutsu)

Military Police
Enrole in the elite first squad---

The Uchiha clan's previous generation founded this organisation 'Konoha Military Police Force'. Shinobi within this crime managing organisation are proud of the strongest belonging to 'First Squad', almost everyone of the clan's elite
was in it. Those with the ability to excel were devoted to maintaining the public order of the village.

CAPTION: The Uchiha ancestors established the headquarters of the 'Military Police Force'.

CAPTION: The young boys of the clan yearned to exist in the first squad to which the Uchiha elite belong.

"When i am big... i will also enter the Military Police Force!!"

Sharingan
The pupil technique only this clan can be enlightened with!

Even within the clan, it is only revealed in the blood of some with the 'bloodline limit'. The insight and the powerful hypnosis of the eye detects the principles of all nin, tai and genjutsu. It is said that within only a few high ranking people in history, a 'Mangekyou Sharingan' exists.

CAPTION: Each one of the Military Police's First Squad was a Sharingan holder.

End
Remembrance of a sorrowful downfall---

CAPTION: The secret of the 'Sharingan' sleeps underground beneath the south support of the shrine.

Visiting their sudden end. The ability extending from the time of their infancy was shot by the hand of Uchiha Itachi alone. Konoha's walk together with prosperity proudly honours the clan, 'that day' has led to them being named 'the clan of tragedy'...

CAPTION: The memory of their end remains within the young boy for eternity.

The well-informed shinobi record - Orochimaru's gang
There is an abyss of dark gloom, furthermore of a blackened artifice, Orochimaru. Embrace the unending ambition 'wicked excellence' that this organisation presses towards.

Sound Nin
Offering Orochimaru their playing of a melody of death.

Orochimaru is designated as the founder, with his ability in ninjutsu he summons people who have grown up in every place to be in his elite shinobi corps. Every one of the sound ninja worships Orochimaru's release of 'evil charisma', for his ambitious achievement they offer their lives by throwing themselves into battle...

Sound Nin Group
CAPTION: The sound nin, with their disguise called a muffler, they arrange their unique costume.

Yakushi Kabuto
CAPTION: As Orochimaru's right-hand man, it reflects on him as a medical ninja.

Curse Seal
In exchange for power, their freedom is taken---

To people with extraordinary ability, Orochimaru gives his seal of affection. If released, instead of raising their ability
rapidly it attacks the body gradually and finally makes them lose themselves.

Kimimaro
He uses bone to make weapons, he is the "Kaguya Clan's" strongest and last survivor.

The Sound Four
Orochimaru's guards. Protective barrier ninjutsu, as a barrier it is an elite seal jutsu.
CAPTION: They have mighty power even amongst curse seals, the 'Earth' and 'Heaven' seals.

"He has a power which is equal to your 'Earth' curse seal..."

Village
The new hidden village which is full of darkness and blood---

The new hidden village which was made by the exiled Konoha shinobi, Orochimaru. The battle potential in those who are Sound Nin, they are made to concentrate to be elite and a match for a thousand. The whole aspect of the village itself is
still a puzzle, but the existence of Orochimaru's building of residence and the medical facility where Kabuto remedied Kimimaro can be verified...

CAPTION: The house where Orochimaru lives is thought to be somewhere in the hidden village of Sound. There is a crest of a snake in the entrance.

CAPTION: Orochimaru captures nin of various clans confining them to the prison existing inside the village, it seems that he utilises them as experimental material for the development of new techniques.

Ambition
His future 'vessel' finally supplied in his hand

To overthrow Konoha, to develop forbidden techniques, to hold all jutsu... numerous ambitions have been exposed, but his final purpose is not revealed. When the body of Sasuke is obtained, will the whole aspect of his ambition be revealed?

"...Ah...my future is in this child..."

CAPTION: The 'dream vessel' of Sasuke arrives, Orochimaru shakes as he is hit with delight. His true purpose, he stares at his future...?

Cold-hearted, cold blooded, level headed--- the story of the cruel serpent

The cold-heartedness of Orochimaru, it is directed at his own subordinates as well as his enemies. Everything other than oneself Orochimaru considers "under his control", his dreadful thoughts are visible...

"Now Kimimaro is fine again... Sasuke is long in coming"

CAPTION: If he does not function as a 'vessel', slay that Kimimaro who is fascinated with himself.

CAPTION: The subordinate who recommends medicine can instantly kill.
