we could always look at japanese mythologies to figure out the correlation. So far alot of stuff in the naruto world is based on mythology, so maybe there's a story about the 9 demons sent by some omnipotent being that will bring about the fate of mankind, or something

Your probably right about that Assert considering how so many of aspects seen in naruto are based on Japanese mythology. Such as the the relationship between Jiraiya, Tsunande, and Orchimaro.
Doesn't sound very familiar, that thing about a singular superior being of apocalyptic abilities...
I also think that Akatsuki's goal (or mid-way goal) is as simple as getting the tail beasts inside themselves... whatever they intend to use their greater power for, though, would be an entirely different matter. Itachi, for one, almost seems to only want to make himself stronger for the sake of making himself stronger.
Anyway, time for a little speculating:
* We know that Gaara has "one-tail", Shukaku.
* We know that Naruto has nine-tails, Kyuubi.
* From Neji's info, Kisame *could* very well be the carrier of three-tails, Isonade (fish/shark, which would fit with Kisame's watery theme; an alternative version would be that Isonade is in his sword, but that would feel wrong with Kisame's facial traits).
* Based on miscellaneous impressions (facial traits and that purple chakra, primarily), Orochimaru might be the carrier of Hachimata, the eight-tails snake beast.
* There is also a tail beast in the shape of a dog. I think it's odd that Kakashi has white chakra (chakra is never non-blue without a reason), an extremely strong sense of smell and covers his nose and mouth... not saying that he's the carrier, just that it wouldn't surprise me if he turns out to be (Itachi also seemed to want to take him alive rather than just have him killed, in episode 82).
This is pretty far-out speculation, but it doesn't contradict anything that I can recall. In fact, it could explain why Konoha emerged as the strongest ninja power after the last war (having both snake+dog in their arsenal and then also capturing Kyuubi). But then, guesses are often wrong, and even my guesses occassionally fail to hit bull's eye...
pheonix, you have open my eyes and my mind... its so awsome that u thought of all that tails theory, u have a great imagination.
If u bring a super godlike being into Naruto and wipe out all ninjas in one attack... i think i'll smash my computer into bits after watching that... hahaha
for some reason i feel as if you have hit the nail on the head with your orochimaru theory, phoenix.
he certainly is ridiculously powered and very very unique in race/abilities/features compared to everyone else.. not to mention his name refers to the legendary 8-headed serpent in japanese mythology..
if orochimaru has the 8-tail, wouldn't you guys think that he would be able to know and try to use it's power by now?
hey i was wondering if theres was originally 10 members, but theres only 9 monsters in the world, who was gonna miss out
or hadnt they come up with the plan at that time. but orochimaro knew akatsuki wanted naruto back in the forest of death, cos he had the chance to kill him and didnt cos it would cause trouble, my take on it anyway
There was originally 9 members. There is 8 members now that Orochimaru left.Originally posted by: basey_69

9 members ---- 9 yoma. Sounds like everyone gets their own yoma. The details to Orochimaru leaving Akatsuki have not been revealed. It is possible that Oro had used the Akatsuki to get the snake yoma and then once he got what he wanted he betrayed them and left. When we see pictures of Oro when he was younger, he has the creepy eyes, but he doesn't look as snakelike as he does now.
Naruto has a demon also, but we already know that that is not enough. He still needs to develope, train, and learn new jutsus as well. Having the yoma makes them stronger, it doesn't make them invincible.The whole Orchimaro has a demon is a good theory but it just dosen't seem to pan out. If his Chakra really was out of the ordinary wouldn't someone have mentioned it by now? Plus why the hell would he need the sharingan if he had the powers of a demon to rely on for his jutsu.
Its a very interesting theory and certainly makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't have thought of it on my own since I don't have any knowledge of japanese mythology (although I did hear of the story about Orochi and the sword) but now that I have heard it, I'm definately going to be paying closer attention to subtle hints that Kishi might be leaving us.
no. There are currently nine members.
Well, Orochimaru has displayed usage of purple chakra... and the former owner of his new body saw a snake towards the end (and Orochimaru's purple chakra was activated right before the body switch).Originally posted by: kaigan

It's a good theory for now but I guess we won't know until Kishimoto says so.
