A most mysterious organization has emerged on the mainland – "Akatsuki".

No one knows who its leader is; all that is known is that its members are all monsters.

The runaway prince is being hunted down by the Tsukuyomi ninja "Uchiha Itachi";

An impregnable fortress was reduced to ruins by the art demolition expert "Deidara";

The ruler of the deep sea was slain by the tailless tailed beast, Kisame!

As for me, Ye Chen, the creator of "Akatsuki," I simply watched calmly from behind the scenes as my reputation soared.

"My chess pieces are now scattered throughout the world."
