Notes

Where there is light, there is also darkness
As long astl there are winners, there were also be losers as well
It is cause and effect, and one cannot be seperated from the other.
But imagine a world that knows only winners
The words that knows only peace
A world that only knows love
Worlds like these can be created. Help us and you will learn the way
Finally, your dreams come to fruition
It was worth all sacrificies it took to get here
It was a long journey, but
This is the end of internal warfare of Hiden Rain
All that is left is conquer the land and create the world we want
Now, I need to ask the both of you to help fulfill my dreams
I believe that was the promise
So what do you specificall require?
First is members
In order to move as "the Akatsuki"
I'd say we need gather. Let's say 10 members, not including me
In the Akatsuki, we already have
Go and gather seven others
Why not count youeself among us
I need to take care of things behind the scenes
When the time comes, I will join the Akatsuki, but until then
So what are we going to do about finding other members?
I already have my eyes on some
It would be a tragedy if any who were unworthy joined
I have three in particular in mind
One stole the Hiden Waterfall's secret technique and is now an immortal, Kakuzu
Second, a rogue ninja of the Sand, a puppeteering genius, Sasori
The third an final one is someone not too distant from me
I will bring him in myself
Zetsu here will be your guide
Contact each of them
And bring tgem into the Akatsuki
Now go. Complete your assigment. For your ambitions
I am not going to make much money off these low-level ninja
Wow, that's messed up
I would like to invite you to join the Akatsuki
That's right. It's a group that's going to bring true peace to everyone
I don't care about that junk. The only thing I care about is money
Whether you care or not isn't the issue. I insist that you join us
You are pretty bold, are not you?
Or you are fool who does not know who's stronger
It does not seem like you are worth anything, but
So you wish to fight me? Fine. Have it your way
This one
I am a god who will save this world
Now come, and I will provide for you a place where you can spend all your eternity
If this groups you speak of has others like you
Then it is certain to give me a greater opurtunity to earn higher bounties
It seems to me as if the smell of money is the strong here
So i guess we are set
My work is done. Let us return
What a pathetic village
Hardly anyone could be used as material at all
The ninja villages dotting the Land of Wind
We are destroyed in a single night, or so the rumor as it
It was you who behind that, was not it? And just who are you?
I here come here to invite you into Akatsuki
Never heard of it
We need your power at our side to help us complete our pursuits. So come and lend us your strenght
You are being awfully presumptuous, would not you say?
Just think of the Akatsuki as a place that will protect you, a rogue ninja
As long as you complete your work, anything else you care to do is your own business
That's not a bad offer
Not bad all, but
Unfortunately for you, you will find I am able to protect myself
And it looks like I am in luck
I was disappointed by the last village
But now it appears that i have great material standing right in the front of me
Rejoice. Because i am going to add you into mt Third-Level collection
Just what sis this Jutsu?
I guess it cant be helped
I will just have to take you by force
You really are pretty interesting you know that
I will examine you to the bone
I will say it again
Come and lend the Akatsuki your power
I lost; I have no right to choose. Take me where you want
You are much more understanding than I thought you'd be
I simply want to see what the other Akatsuki members are like
Just like this jutsu of yours
It's possible that there's a sense of art that I might be able to find there
I would not have such high hopes, young man. But if that is what makes you want to join us
It seems like things have worked out here as well
How is everything so far?
Including Itachi, whom you brought into the Akatsuki yourself
Our members are out collection information about Jinchuriki nd gathering funds
And how about you?
Have you had any luck finding us new members?
Yes, the next is the Hidden Mist ninja, Kisame Hoshigaki
I will get in touch with him from my side
One more thing, sir
We recently received some interesting news on oir side
One of the Sannin, Orochimaru
Is sneaking around trying to gather information on the Akatsuki
What do we do? Stop him?
We are aware of what route Orochimaru is taking
Subordinate
You and Sasori handle this
You decide what to do once you get in touch with him
The Orochimaru I know is crafty and difficult to handle
It won't be easy to extract the information that he has
There has to be a motive behind this
So, should i introduce myself?
There is no need for formalities
I have actually researched quite a lot about you already
You flatter me
And also. I know you are trying to probe the Akatsuki
So you came to get rid of me, have you?
You know, I actually know quite bit about you, as well
You may be hidden inside that puppet of yours now, but
The real weapon at your disposais the Third Kazekage
I do not recall ever disclosing anything about the Kazekage
It I take n interest in something. I research it quite thouroughly. It is the way I am
The information I know is so far is what Kabuto provided to me
Was in the hands of the Akatsuki
Right now. What interest me most is the Akatsuki
I need to study even more
I dont care what you take an interest in
Your fate is simply to be exterminated. There is no avoiding it
I would not be so sure about that. I could actually capture the both of you
And I could extract all information I want about the Akatsuki
That is getting interesting
I will take care of this. Don't get in my way
Now. Let's begin
Now I am flattered
Are you going to fight me in that form?
I could have fought you as Hiruka, but
I want to show you what true defeat is. And this ia the best form for that
True defeat, you say?
You know, I wonder what that might taste like
You will find out soon enough. And you will savor it
It is over
I will have you
Almighty Push
Orochimaru, playtime is over. It's time for us to get down to business
I thought perhaps I could take you, but
I though perhaps I could take you, but
I guess this is nit going to be that easy
All right, then, on the business
Why do not you invite me to join the Akatsuki?
Why you...
Just like I told you before, I really interested in joining your lottle group
Joining is the fastest way to satisfy my interest
I think I showed enough proof that I am strong, yes?
You have quite a mouth considering you lost
I did not fight you seriously just know
You did notice that, did not you?
I promise you won't be disappointed
I will be great use, no doubt

He will only steal information about the Akatsuki
No, I won't do that. I am sincerely interested, I assure you
It's better for us to keep these types nearby rather than let them around on the loose
He also understands
That as long as I am around, he can not have things his away
I do understand that
It seems that I can not take action
At least, not yet
Let's return
His face. I knew I's seen him before.
Fate is so interesting. Do not you think
So, how is our new member, Orochimaru?
Unremarkable so far. He's rather quiet
Even Orochimaru, with Pain keeping a keen eye out
Can't take my major action
By the way, Madara
The member you brought in earlier, Kisame Hoshigaki, has been teamed up with Itachi
Yes, that's fine
Eventually, we will have the others form teams, too
That's why we need another new member
So who's next?
Bring him in and team him up with Sasori
Tell Sasori, Itachi, and Kisame to go get Deidara
Sorry, but that really has nothing to do with me
The only thing I want to do is concentrate on my art
The art I create with clay that I make myself
It can also explode
And when it does, it makes its existence more sublime
And that's when it finally becomes true art
I will handle this
Underestimate me. Or my art, either
Let's end the introductions here
Expect
Before you do anything, you should take a good look at yourself
Since when
Right from the beginning
When you first saw Itachi's Sharingan, you were already under his genjutsu
It is been quite a while since all of us came together like this
