Akatsuki

Akatsuki is a group of wanted S-rank criminals. Their main goal is to collect all of the Tailed Beasts, even by extracting it out of a person who has one sealed inside of them.

The Akatsuki don't seem to have high details of organization. They mainly travel in groups of two, and these groups often do not agree upon important decisions. The only pair that trusts each other are Kisame and Itachi. Although it seems like they pose little purpose, each Akatsuki member wears a ring, each worn on a different finger per member. There are different kanji written on each ring.
