She often gathered news about the Shinobi World and knew very well the turbulence beneath the continent's current calm surface. And all of it stemmed from Akatsuki, the organization Tsunade had just joined!
They were capturing Tailed Beasts and Jinchūriki everywhere, and since Akatsuki made no particular effort to conceal the news, most people who paid attention knew about it.
Quite a few Tailed Beasts had already fallen into Akatsuki's hands!
Moreover, by now, information about most of Akatsuki's members was known. They were all S-rank rogue ninja from the major ninja villages!
Could an organization made up of rogue ninja possibly be some benevolent organization working for the good of the Shinobi World? This organization that was frantically capturing Tailed Beasts?
"Akatsuki... I see." At those words, a faint ripple passed through Tsunade's beautiful eyes, revealing a thoughtful look.
Capturing Tailed Beasts, world peace-with those two phrases linked together, Tsunade had roughly understood Akatsuki's objective.
"Using the power of the Tailed Beasts to establish peace? Heh..." Tsunade looked at the pale purple Akatsuki ring in her hand. The character for "jewel" stood out clearly on it.
Akatsuki-she suddenly felt a little interested.
Rather than being particularly repulsed by such a mad idea as capturing the Tailed Beasts, Tsunade, whose thinking had now begun to grow twisted and obsessive, was interested.
Back then, her eldest grandfather, Hashirama Senju, had captured the Tailed Beasts and distributed them among the nations to ensure balance.
But how had that turned out?
It had been useless!
Peace needed power to sustain it! That was what Tsunade understood now, but for the moment, none of this had anything to do with her.
She needed revenge first! Then she would take back Konoha, the Senju Clan's village!
