i think they wish to use the tailed beast to instigate war.also with the power of the bijuu on their side its more of an incentive for them to be hired. moreover, once powerful nations lose their bijuu it they will be more open to attack... thus increasing the likelyhood of war, which increase the akatsukis revenue. once theyve crushed all ot the militaries and monopolize on warfare then they become the most power organization in the world.

World domination with economic exploitation, how generic.
Strange that people don't think world domination is cool anymore.... Whats wrong with us...
Maybe it's the fact that Kishimoto introduced the Akatsuki a million years ago and got everyone all worked up for an epic plot device, which, predictably, turned out to be crap. Whatever sells the manga to the rabid fanpeople, right?Originally Posted by Stoopider
I think Akatsuki's goals are asinine. They are strong enough to rob anyone and everyone to get enough money. But disregard the money, what the hell do they need it for? If you have that much power, you can control countries with that alone. Just commandeer a country.
Then, let's not look at it as "taking over the world," but rather, "reforming the world for the betterment of our society (the Akatsuki)."
There, not so generic, anymore, eh? Eh?
KIMOCHI~II
This chapter was a bit of a let down....world domination is so 80's. Akatsuki doesn't appear to be nearly as bad-ass as before, IMO.
You would think that with how evil, murderous, and powerful Akatsuki is, that they would have a more sinister, less political plan in mind other than turning Akatsuki into a Fortune 500 company.
After all of the potential that Akatsuki had, it seems as if all Kishimoto managed to do was essentially turn them into a group of black market arms dealers.
Being meh chapter. In fact, let me jump into the bandwagon and say, man, what a let down.
Akatsuki was so misterious and interesting... they could've had a better ideal... but, to conquer the world? That's... childish. What are they gonna do with the world once they have conquered it, anyway? No villian ever thinks of the taxes and the plotical organizations.
Well, as bagandscalpel said, the "conquer the world" thing can be tweaked into something a little more interesting. For instance, maybe the Akatsuki will kill everyone but the ones they deem worthy, or maybe they're like some kind of religious association... like Hidan...
...and I suddenly understand his annoyment much better. He's working for his god/goddess/gods and the Akatsuki wants something as simplistic as to "conquer the world".
I think this is just getting interesting and can go a lot deeper. Each member is only using the organization for his own interests anyway, obviously Oro thought he was better off on his own rather than waste his time with the Leader's ambitions. Since he got Sasuke looks like he was right. I don't think Itachi is interested in whatever the Leader wants, and we already know Hidan isn't.
Conquer the worldIt does seem kind of silly but what else can you do in a world where you have people like Orochimaru and Itachi running around. People with power will always try to inforce it.
I can't picture Itachi or Hidan following those ideals.
Maybe (and hopefully) there will be an internal battle in Akatsuki or something like that unleashing the Bijuu.
Or like I said... those are the motives the Leader gave them all, but is in fact using them for some other ulterior motive.
Leader: The first step is to make cash
Hidan: Shit!
I found that exchange funny.
Man, I can't believe how generic Akatsuki's plans are. Kishi is losing it for real.
Damn.. no I'm wishing they had some other plot.
Like, their trying to gather all the nine tails, to defeat the evil 10 tails, which is hiding deep in the crust of the earth, but will awaken in 5 years time to cause ruin and destruction to the earth.
At least they should sound that their not so quite the bad guy, but rather misunderstood goodguys.
I think the leader has a secrete goal that he's not letting anyone else know about.
Otherwise...."take over the world"?......are you fucking kidding me?
Enforce every female ninja to wear netting, short short skirts and no panties. A plan worthy of Akatsuki.
arent most villians after really lack luster goals? its always world domination, indiscrimnate revenge, or something that has to do with wealth and/or power. the only villian with a deep goal that comes to mind is magneto. ive always defined good villians by the relationship they hold with the hero which is why i love villians like magneto, the green goblin and dio brando.

i want her voice for deidara
Uh.....the leader pretty much said in that same chapter that ninjas are simple-minded people. They only concern themselves with what they're best at, which is combat. It's like Kenshin, they want to have the power to start and end wars at will. I think the goals they spoke of was very characterstic of villians living in this type of world.

While 'taking over the world' seems pretty canned it's only b/c there's really not much else for powerful evil people to do. It's like okay we're playing by our own rules...why..because a) we think we should make the rules ourselves and/or b) we are so obsessed with some goal that we don't care about the rules. Evey 'bad guy' I've ever seen has followed this pattern of screwing the rules for some random thing they want. And the only things that are worth screwing the rules for are revenge, personal profit, world domination, and world destruction.
As uninteresting as the Leaders plan seems, what else would such a group of powerful ninjas work towards? While they could possibly kill almost everyone on earth, they can't directly control all those people but they can set themselves up in a situation where they can threaten everyone into subjugation by being the only viable organized ninja group (viable b/c they're so powerful and can cause a ruckus anywhere at anytime).
Now that I think of it, they're plot is remarkably similar to Blood+, with the Bijuu as Chiropterans and Akatsuki as Cinq Fleches/America with theire Corpse Corps...it's as if Kishi wrote the dialogue whle watching that show....
