Path Of War

In the depths of a dark chamber.

Enclosed in a circle were several figures glowing faintly in hues of blue and purple. The technique being used here was known as the "Astral Projection" technique, a jutsu only one character knew how to perform: Nagato Uzumaki.

This was an Akatsuki gathering—a meeting of all of their current members.

Kisame Hoshigaki, the "Tailed Beast Without a Tail." His shark-like features and the monstrous Samehada sword at his side were menacing. Beside him was Itachi Uchiha, the Sharingan prodigy, whose nature and immense power made him one of the most feared ninjas in the world.

Then there were Hidan and Kakuzu, the immortal duo—two members who had creepy auras. Hidan's crazed fanaticism and Kakuzu's insatiable greed made them an unlikely pair. Their ability to regenerate and their relentless pursuit of their goals, however, made them a terrifying threat.

Deidara, the flamboyant explosives expert, stood nonchalantly. His use of fighting revolved around clay, along with the ability to detonate it from almost anywhere.

Sasori, a puppet, was his partner. Sasori remained enclosed inside an even larger puppet that walked on its limbs. Its eyes were hidden behind the puppet's mask, and it gave him a gruff, deep voice when speaking through it.

Two more figures stood attached to one another: White and Black Zetsu, the manifestations of the Ten-Tails. Their true nature and origins remained shrouded from the others, adding to their intimidating presence.

Finally, Konan, the only female member, stood just a far. Her paper-based techniques and her loyalty to Nagato made her a valuable asset to the organization.

At the top of the gathering was Nagato himself. Yet it wasn't Nagato; it was a responding corpse being controlled by him, and it went by the name of "Pain."

His presence was commanding, and his eyes—the infamous Rinnegan—settled upon each member with intensity.
