Akatsuki

Akatsuki (暁; Literally meaning "Dawn" or "Daybreak") is a criminal organization of S-Ranked missing-nin and is the most wanted group in all of the shinobi world. Their goal is to capture Jinchuuriki and extract their Bijuu for a currently unknown purpose, however their plan of world domination seems to tie in with their capturing of the Bijuu.

The leader of the Akatsuki is Seijuro Nandate, a Puppet Master who organizes and controls the Akatsuki. Seijuro's right hand and Second in Command is Kyo Uchiha, the ex-Hokage who helps orchestrate the Akatsuki's missions. Seijuro's left hand and Third in Command was a man by the name of Metsuki Uzumaki-Nandate, a distant relative of Seijuro who was killed by his half-brother Ryu Uzumaki.
