Thus, it was evident that Konoha and that evil organization had long since harbored a blood feud, which explained why Konoha's actions had been somewhat drastic—going so far as to wipe out Kirigakure, which had fallen under the organization's control. This move was entirely a contribution to the peace of the Shinobi World.
The name of this organization, which had shaken the entire Shinobi World, was Akatsuki. According to the latest intelligence, Akatsuki's base was located in the Land of Rain, and its sphere of influence permeated every corner of that country, making it impossible to guard against. Even more terrifying was that the leader of this organization, a man named Nagato, possessed the Rinnegan, just like the Sage of Six Paths, and possessed incomparably formidable strength. Not only did he shake the four quarters with his powerful Dojutsu, but he also controlled the legendary vessel of the Ten-Tails—the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Such strength was truly chilling to the bone.
Next, in that precious piece of intelligence, Uchiha Chi provided only a general and superficial description of the various abilities of the Rinnegan. The reason he chose such a vague introduction rather than an exhaustive explanation was quite intriguing.
