[After the Second Great Ninja War broke out, Konan, who became an orphan, met Yahiko and saved Nagato, who had fainted from hunger.
[The three orphans started a team to survive.
[Though they said they were trying to survive, most of the time they were just stealing things.
[During the war, the Hidden Rain Village was in a tough spot, and in order to survive, they had no choice but to do this.
[One day, Yahiko intentionally begged for food from the three Legendary Sannin. After eating their fill, Konan folded a paper flower as a return gift.
[Orochimaru was deeply moved and decided to eliminate Konan and the others.
[The three orphans were stunned at that moment.
[Konan: "What's the deal? We only took a little food, not enough to deserve death, right?"
[Luckily, Jiraiya saved them, or else they would never have seen the future with the six hundred billion explosive tags. (laughs)
[For the next three years, Jiraiya lived with the three kids and taught them ninjutsu.
[It was during this time that Konan's Paper Jutsu began to take shape, which will later be referred to as "Paper Release" for convenience.
[In a battle test, Konan used paper shurikens to fight against Jiraiya's shadow clones, and the three war orphans graduated successfully.
[After Jiraiya left, Konan followed the two men and helped create the "Akatsuki" organization in the Land of Rain, a bridge of hope for world peace.
[Thus, Konan and the two others became the original shareholders of the organization.]
"So, this is how Akatsuki was established?"
With a strange smile on his face, Orochimaru thought to himself: If he hadn't listened to Jiraiya's advice back then and had directly killed these three, what would the ninja world look like now?
"Yes, the original goal of the Akatsuki organization was peace."
Looking at the screen, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel emotional.
He thought back to the small moments spent with Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan during those three years.
To be honest, compared to his days in Konoha, he enjoyed spending time with the three kids much more.
When he was with them, there was no pressure, and their time together was very comfortable.
If he could, he really wanted to live with the three of them for a longer time.
Unfortunately, he was still a Konoha ninja and the disciple of the Third Hokage.
At the same time, he had his own responsibilities, and he couldn't stay in the Land of Rain forever.
So, when he saw that the three kids had gained enough strength to protect themselves, he made the decision to leave without hesitation.
Luckily, by then, the war situation had gradually cleared up, and Konoha's victory was almost certain. Otherwise, forget about staying for three years—if he could stay for even a year, that would have been lucky.
"Let me tell you a joke, the Akatsuki organization's goal now is also peace."
"Orochimaru, don't say such ridiculous jokes again."
The Third Hokage didn't believe that the current Akatsuki organization was really after peace.
Based on their past actions and the images shown on the screen, how could they be for peace?
"Old man, Orochimaru isn't just talking nonsense."
Jiraiya rubbed his forehead.
The Third Hokage didn't know much about this, but Jiraiya knew a bit.
When Nagato came to Konoha, he personally told him that everything the Akatsuki did was to fulfill Yahiko's dream, which was so-called peace.
However, the path to peace had huge differences in thought between Nagato and Jiraiya.
"The Akatsuki members are all rogue ninjas from various villages. They kill, set fires, capture Tailed Beasts, destroy ninja villages, and now you tell me they're doing all this for the peace of the ninja world? I'm getting old, and I just can't accept this."
Not just the Third Hokage, but others couldn't accept it either.
Among them, Naruto Uzumaki's reaction was the most intense.
He would never agree with the actions of the current Akatsuki.
[Based on the romantic scenes in the original work and anime, there's a feeling of three people together, and everyone feels like the third wheel.]
[In the end, Yahiko hoped that Nagato would be the bridge for peace, while he would be the pillar supporting the bridge.]
[Later, Nagato kept mentioning Yahiko's suffering.]
[Konan said, "I should be at the bottom of the bridge, not at the top."]
[This truly turned into a love triangle.]
[Ahem, back to the main topic. As the Akatsuki grew in fame, the leader of Amegakure, Hanzo, feared the organization's future development and, in collusion with Danzo, kidnapped Konan, leading to Yahiko's death.]
[After experiencing despair, Konan and the new leader of the organization, Nagato, relied on each other and, following the advice of the masked man, the Akatsuki re-established its goal of collecting Tailed Beasts and using violence to suppress violence, recruiting talented individuals.]
"Sure enough, Obito joining the Akatsuki was planned from the beginning."
Seeing the masked man (Obito) appear on the screen, Jiraiya confirmed his earlier thoughts.
In the plot against the Akatsuki, the true mastermind wasn't just Danzo; it should also include Obito.
"Now the question is, since capturing the Tailed Beasts was Obito's idea, did Nagato know what the consequences of this would be?"
After seeing the phrase "suppress violence with violence," everyone more or less understood why the Akatsuki wanted to capture the Tailed Beasts.
However, this suggestion came from Obito, and everyone knows that Obito is the successor of Uchiha Madara. Without some sort of conspiracy, no one would believe it.
"Do you all remember, during the review of Kisame, that so-called 'Eye of the Moon Plan'?"
"Of course, I remember. I even remember you coming up with wild ideas, thinking something was sealed on the moon."
Orochimaru teased Jiraiya with a smile, but suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Jiraiya in surprise, continuing, "You mean, the goal of the Eye of the Moon Plan is to gather the power of all the tailed beasts, break the moon, and release whatever is sealed inside?"
"Yeah, that's what I mean."
"Heh, not a bad thought. Come learn cooking from me—no, come be my assistant, help me with my research."
Jiraiya didn't agree to Orochimaru's nonsense.
He's the Hokage of Konoha. He would have to be crazy to be Orochimaru's assistant.
Besides, would he even get to see any pretty ladies as Orochimaru's assistant?
Those strange people who underwent the cursed seal transformation? Jiraiya certainly didn't find them attractive.
"Jiraiya, do you think Nagato was tricked by Obito?"
Looking at the Third Hokage, Jiraiya nodded, "It's pretty much certain."
[In the game storyline, Konan, with her Paper Jutsu, is immune to physical damage, and has various abilities like flying and creating clones. She effortlessly captured Sasori, whose body hadn't been modified yet.]
[The organization also, with the arrival of the new employees who are uninterested in women, demoted Konan, who was once a shareholder, to being Nagato's secretary.]
[According to the official book, the beautiful Konan, who stands by Nagato, is highly respected by the villagers and is known as the Angel.]
[Rumor: The beautiful Konan is also closely connected to the organization's financial department. (Laughs)]
