-Akatsuki's goal is Immortality, when all 9 biju are collected and sealed into the king of hell statue, something is supposed to happen, and they basically become gods.
-When a biju is seal into the statue, each akatsuki member can call forth the power of the seal biju (example... if we sealed the Hachibi, Sanbi, and Ichibi, WE ALL can use those powers at the same time, even though none of us have the biju sealed in side of us... the king of hell statue is like a group sharing jutsu)
-IMPORTANT NOTE: You CANNOT seal the kyuubi until all other demons are captured and sealed, otherwise the sealing statue will break. IF kyuubi is captured before the others, it will be imprisoned within our base until we are ready for it
GOAL
Akatsuki's overall goal is world domination. To achieve that goal, the leader has set up a three-step process to work their way to it. First, they plan to obtain a large amount of money to support their organization. Second, they plan to set up a mercenary group loyal to no village. To build their reputation, they plan to accept any mission below the usual cost, which is covered by the excess amount of funds earned in the first part of their plan. Because there haven't been any wars in some time, the established shinobi villages can't afford to charge such low prices, leading the smaller countries to hire Akatsuki over the more expensive shinobi villages. By using the tailed beasts, Akatsuki can start wars and then immediately quell them, solidifying their reputation and convincing every country to depend on them, thus cornering the market in shinobi labor.Without any business, the other shinobi villages will collapse due to a lack of funds. Finally, after Akatsuki is the only major force of shinobi in existence, they can easily conquer the other countries.
As a large part of their plan, they actively hunt the tailed beasts and their hosts. Once a tailed beast or its host is captured, they seal them in a large statue for use at a later time. Akatsuki possesses seven tailed beasts: the one-tailed Shukaku, the two-tailed demon cat, the three-tailed demon, the four-tailed demon, and three other unknown demons.
