Why didn't Akatsuki just conquered entire countries?

[Aya San]

Now that I think about it, the entire Akatsuki attacking at once would be able to defeat any village. Why did they just stop at capturing tailed-beasts? They could've done that much more easily if the entire group would just conquer the village and capture the beast while doing that.

Plot no mutha f***kin Jutsu

 

[SasoriOfTheRedSaand]

Kamui one shots, that's why.

 

[Sage OfThe 6 Paths]

plot..no..jutsu..and..konoha..would..win..mid..diff

 

[TheSageOfNinetails]

Because all they wanted were Bijuu so they only targeted Jinchuuriki and not an entire village.

 

[Fair Warning]

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Naruto, Danzuo, Oonoki, Ay, Killer bee, Mei, Choujuro, Neji, Shikamaru, Asuma, Gaara, Kankuro,


Just a small team, that would CRUSH the Akatsuki

 

[RNITBmsage]

because the whole ninja world would be after them

 

[Aya San]

Well Nagato wanted to control the world so why not just do that. Nagato + Kisame + Deidara + Sasori is enough to conquer anything they want. Maybe throw in Zetsu to replenish chakra

 

[MadaraUzamaki]

Maybe because they weren't strong enough, going after a nation with them knowing fully that the akatsuki are coming would destroy them. That why they had hideout instead of big ass fortress that have sign that say " come get me *************"

Apparently no one recalls Akatsuki's control of Amegakure? They had what they needed, conquering other nations and fighting while severely outnumbered isn't a good thing.

Pain had control of the hidden rain not the whole organization
