After Orochimaru's failed attack on Konogakure, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki secretly made their way to Konogakure in an effort to acquire the Nine-Tails. Whilst in the village, they were discovered by Kakashi Hatake who called on the aid of Kurenai Yuhl and Asuma Sarutobi.

After two years, the Akatsuki came to make their move to claim the jinchuriki from around the world and extract the Tailed-Beasts within them. This saw Deidara and Sasori being sent to Sunagakure to capture the Kazekage [[Gaara]] who was the host of the One-Tails. Bringing the sand ninja to their base, the Akatsuki were remotely gathered as they used their chakra to perform the jutsu to draw the spirit beast from Gaara. At this point, the leaf shinobi were in pursuit to recover their ally Gaara with the Akatsuki dispatching Itachi and Kisame to deal with the ninja. Using a fraction of their chakra and captured bodies as vessel, they battled the leaf ninja where Itachi fought against Team Kakashi. Despite his genjutsu, his host vessel was defeated at the same time as Kisame's though the delay they gave their pursuers allowed the extraction ceremony to be completed. | After two years, the Akatsuki came to make their move to claim the jinchuriki from around the world and extract the Tailed-Beasts within them.
