The Akatsuki kanji means daybreak, with the individual portions drawing their names from "aka" meaning red and "tsuki" meaning moon. This Organization is a collection of S-Ranked criminals. Many of these are missing-nins who fled their villages after causing death and destruction. With the departure of Orochimaru from the organization there are currently 9 Akatsuki members. Each member wears a forehead protector from their hidden village with a scratch through it, a ring identifying their position in the organization and a black cloak with red clouds.

When the organization members leave to travel the country they will work in groups of two collecting knowledge of new skills and jutsu. Their ultimate goal is unknown but at present they wish to capture the "jinchuuriki" meaning the power of human sacrifice, these are the individuals possessing demons within their bodies. The demons are known by the number of tails their body possesses. Kyuubi is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and Shukaku is the One-Tailed Tanuki. The only known jinchuuriki are Uzumaki Naruto and Gaara of the Sand. At present, Gaara has been defeated and captured by Akatsuki and the group is in the process of withdrawing Shukaku's power. Akatsuki's base of operation is within a cave in the River Country, a region which lies between the Fire and Wind Countries.

The cave contains the gigantic statute called the king of hell. His mouth is bound and his hands are cuffed. Each respective finger of the statues hand represents the Akatsuki member. Each statue finger thus represents the kanji and ring finger of the member. The members have the ability to project their presence into the cave, this allows them to remain out and about and still conduct the business of jinchuuriki demon extraction within the cave. This process takes three day and nights due to the absence of Orochimaru. To begin to leach the power from the jinchuuriki, the members will use the sealing technique of GenryuuKyuu Fuujin
