Akatsuki
Akatsuki (暁; Literally meaning "Dawn" or "Daybreak") was initially an organisation created by Yahiko and his two comrades Konan and Nagato in an effort to fight against the tyranny and oppression that their home village Amegakure was facing, and the long-term goal of world peace. After Yahiko's death, it later became a criminal organisation comprised of S-rank missing-nin and is the most wanted group in all of the shinobi world. The current leader of the Akatsuki is Nagato.
Akatsuki at any given time is composed of no more than ten primary members, all of whom were S-rank criminals of their own respective villages — with the exception of Nagato and Konan. Members always work in teams of two with the exception of Zetsu, who functions as the organisation's spy, and make use of their unique skills to the team's advantage. Team members must function very well, or at least well enough to accomplish their tasks, even though some may have mutual problems with each other. The primary ten Akatsuki members also wear a ring with a kanji on different fingers depending on who the member is.
