This takes place in the untouchable region of Tokyo

This takes place in the untouchable region of Tokyo. Hmmm… I'm trying to imply that the Akatsuki, Konoha, Suna, and all the other villages belong to each of their respective yakuza groups. This is Konan's POV, obviously. She killed Jugo…. sorry after she died herself. I imagine this is a small part of the afterlife. You must complete what you are put on Earth to do before you actually go to hell or heaven. There are many references to olden-day Japan, like the 'Wa' part and with the full-body tattoos. They can take up to three years to do, and are usually done traditionally, which is done with six needles on a razor-like tool. It is dipped in permanent ink then shoved into the part where the tattoo is meant to be. Many of the tattoo artists didn't even use stencils. They used the tattoo outline-gun free-hand.

Well, that's all for this chapter. I hoped you learned something about olden yakuza Japanese tradition. Oh, and BTW, about the pool thing. Konan says that she can finally go to the pool now that's she's dead. In Japan, if you have a tattoo, and you want to go swimming, you're not allowed unless your tattoo is completely covered by your swimsuit. However, most of the yakuza had their whole bodies covered in tattoos, leaving only the face, neck, hands, and feet uncovered. Some thought of it as art, although 'normal' people think that it was for rebels, since in the early 16th or so century, the yakuza group had tattoos and they killed and terrorized many people. The tradition of keeping away from these people still remains. Also, tattoos in Japan were outlawed until a few years ago.
