The Akatsuki Statue

I fervently believe that we (as readers of this manga) are being led in circles, and the illogical plot elements are partly in due to Kishimoto backpedaling and (failed) attempt to cover up his blunders. Aside from that, and the purpose of this thread, is "what is the origin and purpose of the Akatsuki Sealing statue?"

Thinking about the statue made me believe that the statue itself might be rather new and closely tied to the origin of the Uchiha Clan. I would like to think that Uchiha Madara built the statue in the time that he started his quest for power. He knew that Shodai hokage had a stronger control over Biju then himself, and with the statue (and other arcane arts) he would be able to bind the biju to himself in such a way as to ensure that Shodai would not have more control over the Biju. This could have happened before or after Shodai defeated him at Valley of the End.

Is the statue going to be used to bind all the Biju to the Sharingan (like I think), or for the reasons Pein mentioned to Hidan.
 
I can see where you are coming from with this argument, however i do think that the statue is a summon by Pein rather than madara, considering his amount of summons he has already produced in the fight against Jiraiya. Perhaps Madara is the one who found out about it and used Peins abilities to get it. I am wondering whether or not Akatski will use the statue itself or transfer the biju into other members. However considering that most of them are dead already, I am wondering whether or not the ones who died were meant to be sacrifices and the biju were tsuppost to be seperatedd between Madara, Itachi, Pein six bodies and the other girl (paper girl).

I might be way off.
 
Each of Pein's bodies represents a captured Bijuu and express the powers of that Bijuu in some way.

That is the purpose of the statue. It serves Pein as it served the first ninja when he bound all the elemental powers of nature to Himself and leveled the world in His madness, creating the dystopian reality of Naruto.
 
Well we know that it is the King of Hell statue and that the bases are necessary to summon the statue. The origin of it is unknown, though the purpose as you have stated appears to be to seal the bujii. As for its ultimate purpose, I believe that since Madara can not control Kyuubi unless beyond Naruto's control, as of now KN4, so possibly by its extraction Madara will be able to do so again, and for Madara to extract Kyuubi we know that the other eight bujii must be sealed first or there is an imbalance in the statue.

Since we know that Pain summons the King of Hell Statue, its origins with the Uchihas may be wrong, perhaps though it orginated with the founder of the ninja world.

It was never stated that Shodai had greater control over the bujii.

As for Pain's ideals, I believe that his differ from Madara's but there may be another usefulness for the statue that is yet to be revealed.
 
My hypothesis is that the statue belongs to the Rinnegan and is connected to the origin of the Tailed Beasts rather than the Uchiha. If it's not a weapon itself, -something used exclusively by the world-ending Rinnegan-users -, then I'd bet its purpose is nothing more than to keep the monsters contained.

I do not think that Akatsuki will transfer the Biju into themselves and make themselves Jinchuuriki. Akatsuki members seem like mere fodder to Madara and Pein, they would not have casually let the stronger members die if that was their intention.

As for everything else, I'm not certain what the point of it was, your idea has an equal chance of being correct as mine does.
 
I don't think we can trust either Madara or Pein to their word on ANY of their intentions... the statue helps extract the Bijuu, that's all we know.
 
i think it has something to do with the sage of the six paths. he wouldnt have been mentioned unless he had some later importance.

the samething happened when kyuubi mentioned mandara uchiha.
 
That is also a possibility, the statue might be an ancient power directly related to the creation of the biju or the manifestation of Rukidou Sennins power.
 
My guess is the statue has more to do with Pein. It will definitely be interesting to find out when the time comes. It could just as well have been something of Madara's created out of jealousy towards Shodai.

Do we? I don't think I remember seeing anyone refer to the statue as "King of Hell" in the manga. I thought it was just part of that Uchiha/Tengu theory. Is it a sidebar reference or something? Though there do appear to be several Akatsuki bases, I'm not sure if those are required for the extraction and sealing process, or just to avoid interruptions of Akatsuki's members. After all, there are ten rings and they don't require all of them to perform the sealing/extraction.

It's interesting to note that Pein is the one who: communicates through the rings, summons the statue and initiates the extraction/sealing technique "Fuuin Jutsu: Genryuu Kyuu Fuujin" or "Complete Nine Illusionary Dragon Seal." Madara doesn't seem to be involved in this whole process much.

Now, given the Buddhist meanings behind the rings, it's led me to believe there might be some symbolism between the nine "tailed beasts" and the "nine dragons" of Chinese mythology. Nine and the symbol of "nine dragons" were supposed to be reserved for the divine emperor. Rather than being a "King of Hell" I think it may be possible that the statue may have a different divine functionality.

I have a hard time believing that Uchiha Madara, possessor of the EMS and tamer of the Kyuubi is devoting himself to something as pedestrian as destroying Konoha. Again, at any rate. :wink
