Little is known about the mysterious mastermind behind the entire Akatsuki organization. His Akatsuki ring has the character for 'Nothing' and he wears it on his right thumb. His real name has been revealed to be Pein, and he is a missing-nin from the Hidden Village in the Rain. Although he has not been seen in combat so far, the leader has displayed some powerful abilities. His greatest ability is likely his ability to extract and trap the essence of a tailed beast. He does so by summoning a giant demon-sealing statue, but several Akatuski members need to be present to complete the sealing ritual. Pein also has a telepathy-like ability that allows Akatsuki members to communicate with each other through astral projection wherever they are located. He has also demonstrated the ability to shapeshift human sacrifices into clones of other Akatsuki members by using a portion of the member’s chakra. Except that their power is limited by the amount of chakra used, these clones are otherwise indistinguishable from the original. Lastly, Pein may have the uncanny ability to control rainfall over the entire Rain Village. When Jiraiya infiltrated the village, Pein was able to sense him just from Jiraiya distrurbancing the rainfall.
Pein’s motive is to achieve world domination by wiping out the other shinobi villages. The first step is to gather large amounts of money, mostly through criminal activity. Next, create a large mercenary army that will perform missions below the cost of what the other shinobi villages charge. The leader plans to use the tailed beasts to start wars that will benefit Akatsuki, and then stop them at his leisure to solidify Akatsuki’s reputation. The other shinobi villages will not be able to compete and eventually collapse since accepting missions are their primary source of income. When this occurs, Akatsuki will be the only major military power remaining and can easily conquer the world with the power of the tailed beasts at its control.
It has been revealed in Naruto manga chapter 363 that Pein may not be the true head of Akatsuki, and that Tobi is giving the orders.
Pein's original name was Nagato. He, along with Yahiko and Konan, were trained by Jiraiya during their youths. Nagato's Rinnegan ability allowed him to master all types of ninjutsu and to use all six chakra elements. It is not known exactly what transpired after Jiraiya left, but during that period Nagato's close friend Yahiko died. Nagato had a change in personality as well as ideals, so much so that Jiraiya can hardly recognize him after their reunion. Pein has grown so powerful that he single-handedly killed the previous leader, Hanzou, and took over the Rain village and proclaimed himself a "god."
