I'm referring to the red-colored, white-bordered cloud-shaped pattern which is
present on the costume of all of the Akatsuki members. What is it called and
what does it represent? Do they have a special meaning regarding the mission
of Akatsuki or is it just plain-art with no real significance to it?

What does the symbol on Akatsuki's costume represent?


Akatsuki was formed by Yahiko, Konan and Nagato. They originally belonged to
the Village Hidden in the Rain (Amegakure), who were war orphans. Their
costume consisted of long dark cloaks with a red cloud, a red interior, and a
chin-high collar. The Red cloud represents the rain of blood that fell in
Amegakure during the wars and was seen as a symbol of justice by its original
members.
