Main Goal
The organisation's initial goal — under Yahiko's
leadership — was aimed at bringing peace to Amegakure and the world on a larger
scale, this would later be distorted by the influence of others.
Although some of the post-Yahiko members joined
Akatsuki to further their own goals, all are united in Akatsuki's ultimate goal
of gaining world domination.[5] Nagato
has mentioned a three-step process to work their way towards this goal.[6] First,
they plan to obtain a large amount of money to support their organisation.[6] Second,
they plan to set up a mercenary
group loyal only to Akatsuki.[7] To
build their reputation, they plan to accept any mission below the usual cost
and operate off of the excess funds earned in the first part of their plan.[7] Because
there haven't been any wars in some time, many of the more powerful and well
known shinobi villages couldn't afford to accomplish such missions as such low
prices, leading the smaller countries to hire Akatsuki over the more expensive
shinobi villages.[7] By
using the tailed beasts, Akatsuki would start wars and then immediately quell
them, solidifying their reputation and convincing every country to depend on
them, thus cornering the market in shinobi labour.[8] Without
any business, the other shinobi villages would collapse due to the lack of
funds.[8] Finally,
after Akatsuki is the only major force of shinobi in existence, they can easily
conquer the other countries.[8] Members
do not automatically learn of the plan upon joining; Hidan didn't find out
about it until he had been a member for quite some time.[6]
The tailed
beasts, nine gigantic demons of immense power, are the main focus of much
of Akatsuki's efforts and screen time within the series. Each member is
assigned to capture one of the nine beasts alive or, in most cases, the person
that beast has been sealed into.[9] Akatsuki
has sealed seven of the nine beasts before the start of theFourth Shinobi World War.[10]
Yahiko's Goal
Under Yahiko's leadership, the group was meant to put
an end to the wars that would take place in Amegakure and bring about peace.[2] When
he was younger, Yahiko also noted that he disliked the fact that it always
rained in his country, as if all the country did was weep and he wanted to
change that. This may be where the name of the organisation literally meaning
"daybreak" comes from. He also noted that the organisation was meant
to act as a support unit for Nagato, whom he believed would bring peace to the
world.
Obito's Goal
Main article: Eye of the Moon PlanAfter Rin Nohara's
death and Kakashi Hatake's inability to protect her, a
grief-stricken Obito declared that he would create a world that she was in.[11] With
this goal in mind Obito returned to Madara
Uchiha who had saved his life after the events of the Kannabi
Bridge,[12] and
decided to partake in his plan to revive the Ten-Tails by
gathering all the tailed beasts that had been created by the Sage of the Six Paths, and fusing them back
into one, single beast with the goal of becoming its jinchūriki. After this he would
cast an Infinite Tsukuyomi onto the moon and control
humanity thereby bringing "world peace". Adopting the legend's name
after his death, Obito would take measured actions to bring the plan to
fruition until Madara could be revived. Obito has also noted that everything he
is doing is to rebuild the Uchiha clan's
pride, and he would use Sasuke
Uchiha to do so.[13] Kisame
Hoshigaki and Zetsu are the only two Akatsuki members who know of this
plan.
Pain's Goal
Pain later goes into further detail on the tailed
beasts' role in his plans. The beasts would be used to create a deadlyKinjutsu technique
that could wipe out one of the five great nations in an instant, so if
countries go to war and do not have ninja villages to fight for them, they
would turn to Akatsuki and their "weapon". Whichever side has Pain
use the technique first would wipe out the opposing country. After witnessing
the mass destruction caused by the weapon, the other remaining countries would
become too afraid to start wars for fear of being wiped out as well. Thus,
through this mutual fear, war would cease to exist and the world would know
peace, until the people forget that fear and use the weapon again. Thus the
cycle would repeat, creating small periods of peace in an endless chain of
hatred.[14]
Apparently, Pain and Konan were the
only Akatsuki members aware of this part of the plan. After Pain's death and
Konan's defection, this goal has been ceased.
Itachi's Goal
After the Uchiha clan massacre and leaving Konoha,
Itachi, instead of using the tailed beasts for his own self-interest, continued
to protect the village by joining Akatsuki and keeping an eye on the villagers,
especially Sasuke, from the outside. During his time in the group, Itachi would
delay his own attempts to capture the Nine-Tails, indirectly leaked information
about the organisation to Konoha, and attempted to kill Tobi through Sasuke.
