IMPORTANT PLOT INFOMATION FOLLOWS.

Final Stand of Akatsuki
Many participated in this fight, which was centered in the area surrounding Amegakure. It was almost a grand affair in a sense: the final few members of Akatsuki and all their servants against all shinobi willing to fight. But of course, Akatsuki fell. When their leader’s life fled, a few things happened.
Firstly, the rings of the (now deceased members) came forth from where they were last lain. They then promptly disappeared. To this day, their significance is unknown, but they appeared very important to Akatsuki.
Secondly, the tailed beasts burst from the prison of Akatsuki’s machine, causing a great explosion. Many lives were lost in this alone. As already stated, the ichibi returned to Gaara. The other seven disappeared, much like the rings.
Thirdly, a great cheer rang across the battlefield. Akatsuki had fallen.
Affects of the Fight on the Surrounding Area
The village of Amegakure has always been the center for shinobi wars because of its location. It was, perhaps, one such war that led to the rise of Akatsuki. Whatever the case, Amegakure was used to being ripped apart, not that they enjoyed it. But, nothing could have prepared them for this. Ninja released their greatest jutsu on that stormy battlefield, and not even the falling rain could quench the thirsty flames and bolts of electricity.
The land, as previously stated, became barren and dry: dead if you will. But the irony of it all, was that the sky cleared up, and rain stopped falling. Amegakure fell into a drought.
Since things come and go and never stay, rain fell again four years later. But still, nothing grew upon the lands. Even now, Akatsuki’s former base lies in an area without life.
Fate of the Bijuu
The tailed beasts lost their physical shape while locked within Akatsuki’s machine. When they were released, they needed containers. They scattered themselves across the continent, and picked the first people they came across.
The Rings of Akatsuki
While their connection to the Bijuu’s is still unknown, the nine rings (Orochimaru’s was never located) found their way to the newly formed jinchuuriki. Unfortunately, since there were only seven tailed beasts, one ring found its way to a ‘normal’ ninja that it found worthy, and the other (the zero ring) returned to its roots, and with it brought rain.
However, the rings took their time locating their new wearers, and while the Bijuu’s picked their hosts instantaneously, the rings looked for the one exactly complementary to their unknown powers. It took them a few years.
We are now in an era with nine potential Akatsuki members. And, they will, without doubt, rise to fulfill their predecessor’s dreams, even if they don’t understand why.
It is fated.
Character Opportunities
We have eight (seven jincuuriki and one other member) available positions for you all. Little is known about most of the beasts, but there is some info. If you choose to design a character for the new Akatsuki, run the tailed beast by me first. We have:
Nibi
Sanbi,
Yonbi,
Gobi, (taken)
Rokubi,
Nanabi (or Shichibi. This demon hasn't appeared yet, so there's nothing really official. o.o)
Hachibi
Now remember, these aren’t random jinchuuriki. I know we have some jinchuuriki in the RP already, but the beasts within them are either minor demons or angels. These are the legendary bijuu’s, and are the only ones Akatsuki is interested in.
Don’t feel compelled to make a character for this. If you’re just joining, this might be the thing for you, but if you’re in the RP already I don’t want you to feel pressured into making a character. These will be critiqued harshly. And, I might even reject parts of it, especially when it comes to designing the powers of the tailed beasts within you. Be creative, very creative. These monsters are special, so heck, make them special.
A warning, this is a limited time only thing. Once its time for Akatsuki to form, the remaining positions will be designed by myself and other leaders of the Rp, and then made into NPC’s. You can always pick these up as characters later, but that isn’t as fun.
The leader position has been filled, and his profile will be posted soon. I would post it within this post, but it would clutter things up a bit. Plus...he only has three jutsu. xD I really got change that, lol.
---
If you have any questions, ask ask ask! I know the info was kind vague, but I didn't want to give actual manga spoilers. There was a lot I could add in based on what the manga knows now, but I'm trying not to. (but they really havent said what the rings are for.) The only thing I had to add is there, was the leader based himself out of Amegakure....turning that area into the base for Akatsuki.
The profile for the new leader would make more sense if you know stuff about the Akatsuki's original, but it's not really neccessary. Anyway, if you need me to expand, I will to the best of my abilites. Just some base info:
10 Akatsuki members. Orochmaru's ring remains hidden in one of the sound village hideouts. That leaves 9 rings. Therefore, the RP can only have 9 Akatsuki members. Each one NEEDS a ring. It's also been theorized that the Akatsuki wanted to take the tailed beasts into themselves. There are nine beasts, so that would be one each, and then the leader (who, due to some plot elements wouldn't be useful as a jinchuuriki). It's unknown if it's true, but it makes a bit of sense. So, the jinchuuriki formed from the tailed beeasts get rings. The RP only has 7 free jincuuriki though. Gaara has the ichibi, and naruto the Kyuubi. That's why there are two extra members, the leader being one.

Alrighty, here's my character. Can't wait for the RP to start Itachi, it looks like it's going to be really fun. ^_^

Unique differences: She has a navy blue snake tattoo on her left arm, running from her shoulder to her elbow, signifying her ability to summon that particular reptile
Weaponry: long katana, Ontei, hangs across her back in the same style of her father. It doesn’t hold any special powers, apart from the fact that it was the only thing her father ever gave her- she can channel her Chidori Nagashi into it; holster pouch containing 4 kunai, 8 shuriken and 5 exploding tags
Kekkei Genkai: sharingan

-Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique): Snakes—can summon the King of Snakes, but never does as the snake scares the living daylights out of her, and she’s too kind to sacrifice 100 people.

-Magen: Jubaku Satsu (Demonic Illusion: Tree Bind Death)
-Magen: Kokoni Arazu no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique)

-Chidori (One Thousand Birds)
The obvious: Body Replacement Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Clone Technique
BIO
Personality: Kusinada is generally very carefree. She’s always ready to go anywhere, and her energy never seems to ebb. It’s not to the point where she’s considered “weird”, but not a single Konoha shinobi can understand how she’s Sasuke’s daughter, while serious Raiden is Naruto’s son, instead of vice-versa. All this cheerfulness is really just a cover-up for her hard past. Really, all Kusinada wants to do is close up to everyone and succumb to her depression. It would be a sweet release from all the strain of putting on a smile, but, that’s exactly what her father did. She doesn’t ever want to be like him. Really, it’s hard for even Kusinada to tell what her true personality is. Only Naruto has seen both sides of her, and he must admit, both seem like cover-ups of the person she truly is.
If the situation calls for it, Kusinada can be very serious and professional. She never lets her personality get the better of her on a mission, and she’s well-loved by many of the other shinobi, despite the fact that she’s from Otogakure. She is generally kind-hearted and can’t pass up an opportunity to help someone in need.
However, Raiden and she have NEVER gotten along well. They’ve hated each other from day one.
Background: Kusinada is the daughter of Uchiha Sasuke and Karin. She lived in Otogakure for the first 14 years of her life, learning some of the jutsu unique to that area. She didn’t spend much time with her father, and he didn’t seem to take too much interest in her. He’d lived outside Sound Village for many years, but he often came back to visit and leech new jutsu. During these short periods of time, he’d sometimes (meaning rarely) approach Kusinada to spend time with her or teach her new jutsu. But, when he left without even saying “hello” Kusinada would be crushed. She wants the respect of her father, no matter how uncaring or foolish he is (maybe it’s an Uchiha thing).
Unfortunately, Kusinada couldn’t find any shelter with her mother either. Karin would yell things like “Worthless! I didn’t even want you! You’re such a nuisance! You just remind me of that bastard you call your father!” or, the ones that stung Kusinada the most, “Die,” or “Just leave!” And, so, Kusinada did (leave). She was fourteen when she left Otogakure. She wouldn’t miss her mother’s jabs and beatings, or her father’s ignoring her. But, if she had to think about it, she had a better relationship with Sasuke then she did with Karin. At least he was kind to her when he took the time to pay attention.
When she was a baby, her mother beat her, throwing food at her face instead of putting it in her mouth, refusing to feed her even. Kusinada still doesn’t understand, to this day why her mother was so terrible. However, as she got bigger, the beatings only worse. She often walked around Otogakure with huge bruises on her face, but none of the villagers seemed to care. Kusinada was a ninja, so why didn’t she fight back? Even after everything she did, Kusinada still didn’t have the heart to hurt her mother.
Once, when she was still a chuunin, Kusinada was sent on a mission to retrieve an escapee from the Oto prison. She was attacked in her pursuit by three rock shinobi, apparently the escapee’s friends. Just when it looked like Kusinada would give her mother her greatest desire (her death), Kusinada’s sharingan activated and helped her out of the battle. She was 13.
She aimlessly traveled for four days after leaving Oto, and then finally ran into a group of Konoha Shinobi. It was Team Lee, and they were on their way back to Konoha after an escort mission. After hearing her out, and seeing how weak and tired she was, the members (a genin, and two chuunin, as well as jounin Lee) decided it would be a good idea to take her back to the village. That was how Kusinada ended up in Konohagakure. Tsunade found it rather ironic that she’d escaped Otogakure to come to Konohagakure, when her father had done exactly the opposite all those years ago.
Her reception from the villagers was surprising. You’d expect her to be rejected, for the Hokage to turn her away, but that’s just not how it happened. It’s not because she was an Uchiha, no; it was because she showed in coming there that she was on their side. She relayed her story to the Rokudaime and he knew she was sincere. The only thing Kusinada wanted was a place where she could be accepted, a place where she could be herself. The Rokudaime Hokage didn’t even hesitate to make her a Konoha ninja in the status she had been in Oto. Naruto was surprised to find that Sasuke had a daughter, but was willing to do anything he could to make her comfortable. He knew somewhere that it’s what Sasuke would want, though he’d never admit it.
Naruto didn’t believe that Sasuke didn’t really care about Kusinada. He thought it was probably just that he didn’t want to make another tie that could get him hurt, or weakened. After all, Sasuke was probably feeling really useless by now. He felt that he was the only one who could rightfully kill Itachi. However, it wasn’t him who had the honor in the end. All his life had been devoted to nothing.
It was hard for Kusinada to not have a loving father, much less a mother. She understood the circumstances of her birth, but she was there, and she had a right to live. Just because she was an accident who wasn’t wanted, the child of two people who weren’t even in love didn’t mean she could be treated the way she was. But, Konoha gave her a new life. She was always treated kindly.
She’s currently staying with Raiden and his family. Living with Raiden doesn’t help their “relationship.” Their hostility towards each other is rather amusing in Naruto’s opinion. It reminds him of himself and Sasuke when they were younger, though positions are undoubtedly being reversed, Raiden being the serious one, and Kusinada the cheerful one.
Kusinada and Hanako have also taken a liking to each other, and share a room. Hanako has begun to teach Kusinada to draw, and though Kusinada is not yet very good, she is beginning to get the hang of it. They also enjoy pulling pranks on Raiden, though Hanako always gets nervous right before carrying them out, and Kusinada often ends up doing the job on her own.
