Ah, Konoha~ When they're not slaughtering other nations' families, they wipe out their own. [ Still holding that grudge against the murder of his parents. ]

But even so... the Uchiha clan... [ He doesn't entirely believe you, but Sasori isn't going to pry. He'll let it drop. ]

So tell me about Akatsuki. What was its goal?
