In fact, we don't even know if each of them is trying to get a Bijuu or if they're doing something else.
Very interesting that he's the one with the most Chakra. However, that makes me very happy, because Chakra != power level, and I was afraid Naruto would devolve into a DBZ-like "Strength is all that matters" shit-show.
However, i'm not happy with the fact that Kisame and Itachi are only fighting with a diminished portion of their chakra. I know it has to happen, but I hate it when people hold back their powers in fights...
It's true that each member is targeting a Bijuu. From Deidara and the pink-eyed guy, it might be true that each of them intends on absorbing an individual Bijuu. However, I don't think that's the case, and I've got 3 arguments as to why.
1. The absorption thing that's sucking the Ichibi out of Gaara and Chiyo's mention of taking alot of effort to do such indicates that the massive, eye-opening thing that Zero summoned is the only one of its kind. Basically, either the nine would each have to be able to gather in the power of a Bijuu into themselves or be totally dependent on Zero. He needs them to participate in the draining, but it seems like he's really the one running the show.
2. Akatsuki was originally ten, not nine, meaning one of the ten would be left empty-handed (the reason Orochimaru left?). But Psyke saying that Kishimoto came up with this storyline after he had Orochimaru being a member of the group, so it could be a plothole...
3. I just can't see how this group would go about saying "you get the Ichibi, you get the Kyuubi, you get..." and all the members being fine with it. They'd need a very strong hierarchy and anyone with too much ambition would run afoul of the plan. Also, once one member got a Bijuu's powers, why would he stick around? Hell, could he be forced to stick around with that much power? He'd help the others, for their sakes? Pft, I don't know, but that kind of honor code among villains would truly be unique.
At this point I think they split up the energy they get from the Bijuus, making them all a bit more powerful. That or Zero's Bijuu Sucker is holding on to all of that chakra somewhere and will form a super-weapon/monster when they catch them all. I just feel that there'd be too many potential conflicts with each of them getting a Bijuu of their own.
I thought Zetsu was stationing copies of himself all around his perimeter. But now I don't think that's the case, but who knows? Maybe his scouting abilities let him "see" everything happening in that area
I thought Gai was purposefully forgetting Kisame, to try to enrage him or just for kicks. I thought the music wasn't properly done in this scene, but it was still funny.
