Naruto Akatsuki Guide

The Akatsuki is a criminal organization from Naruto and Naruto Shippuden consisting of S-rank missing-nin’s. The group has worked its way up to becoming the most outlawed and wanted group in the Shinobi world. The word Akatsuki translates to “Dawn” or “Daybreak” in the English vocabulary. The main purpose of the Akatsuki, as described in Naruto Shippuden, is to collect all of the worlds Tailed Beasts which will help the group achieve world domination, or as Pain described, create a weapon that will cause all of the Shinobi nations to have war.
