Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto.

This one is really short, but it ties it all together. And it's the last one! I'll thank you after the chapter.

Enjoy!

Control.

It had brought them together. They had the need to control others and themselves, so the merged into one group. They needed something to preside over, something to belong to so that they could use their power in a way that was pleasing to each of them in turn. They wanted to control because of the way others controlled had controlled them.

They had come together in unlikely ways. They were all injured and hurt inside, and angry outside. They all hated the world for different reasons. They were very different people.

Sasori.

Deidara.

Hidan.

Kakuzu.

Itachi.

Kisame.

Konan.

Nagato.

Orochimaru.

Zetsu.

Madara.

They wanted to rule only because they had been shunned, hurt and wounded by life and the world. They each had different experiences and different lives and different pains and different worlds.

Wounds.

They all lost everything they cared about in the world. They had been wounded and maimed and they wanted revenge.

Akatsuki.

It was the word that described them. They had nothing but the organization to which they belonged. They were that group, because separate the were miserable, alone and heartbroken. And no one wanted that.

They had a goal, but no one really cared about that. The each wanted the same thing. To be happy. There was no wrong in that longing, and they felt the same in they all would find peace.

Hi. I would like to make clear that my favorite character is Kakashi, I love the Leaf Village and I never root for the Akatsuki. So sue me, I love a man in uniform. Anyways, I want to say goodbye to all of you reviewers, and I always present rewards! So here we go!

To the people who read but didn't review, I award you the Sasuke Uchiha. Because there a lot of people who love you but even more who hate you. I love you and hate you, by the way.

To Ryukoroi, MizuLevia, xJust xx Smilex and Mitzzi, I award you the Hashirama Senju for your awesomeness and that you are mentioned once or twice and you reviewed once or twice.

Annemaylover, mrpeeples, and hanako love, I award you the Hidan award. You show up late in the story and are still awesome.

And lastly, I award Shuriken-chan and Yuti-chan the Madara Uchiha for their reviewing every chapter and for the fact the have both Tobiness and Madaraness sides to their personalties. Thank you sooooooo much! XD

This is the first Naruto fanfiction I've done that isn't Kakashi-centric. I'm proud of me! Thank you everyone, and goodbye! And if you were wondering who my favorite Akatsuki was...

I don't like any of them.

I hope you enjoyed!
