Akatsuki (Naruto)
Encyclopedia : A : AK : AKA : Akatsuki (Naruto)
- This article covers a fictional organization. For other uses, see Akatsuki.
Despite being comprised of originally only ten members (currently eight), each member is an S-Class criminal and feared for their tremendous powers and ruthless nature. Together, they form what is arguably the most powerful organization in the Naruto universe.
The exact criteria for admission to the group are unknown, but extraordinary fighting ability and deadly ruthlessness seem to be prerequisites. Unique traits (genetic or otherwise) also seem to be a common factor among its members. Two of the more prominent members so far, Itachi and Sasori, both undertook some sort of challenging task at the time of their entering the group. Sasori mentions, during his fight with Chiyo and Sakura, that "[he] hadn't had this much difficulty since joining Akatsuki." Itachi was responsible for murdering his whole clan (save for his little brother, Sasuke) around the time he is believed to have entered, though it cannot be said for certain that the two events were linked.
Akatsuki's motives are still obscure, and one of the more interesting unresolved questions Naruto poses; they show great interest in the powers of the bijū (tailed beasts) and the leader has obliquely referred to their ultimate goal as "obtaining the Kyūbi... and everything else." It is unknown what they intend to do with them once they attain all nine.
Akatsuki has confirmed that they possess at least three bijū, one being Shukaku and the other two unknown. They have also kidnapped Yugito, the Jinchūriki of Nekomata, but they have not extracted her bijū at this time.
Organization
Clothing and appearance
Akatsuki members dress in similar clothing; a long, dark cloak bearing red clouds and a red interior. It is implied that the cloak helps conceal their actions, especially hand-seals, giving them an edge in battle. All members wear purple nail polish on their fingernails. Four of seven Akatsuki thus far have featured large straw hats, with small spike like bells hanging from the hats, in their first appearance. This seems to be an optional piece of the Akatsuki outfit, likely to disguise their identities.Forehead protectors
The members of Akatsuki continue to wear forehead protectors from their former home villages, but scratch a line across the symbol of their village. This is done to indicate that their ties to the village have been severed and they no longer give any allegiance to their former homes. So far, each member has been from a different village, though this may just be coincidence.Rings
Each Akatsuki member wears a single ring on a particular finger and no member wears a ring on the same finger as any other member. The rings seem to have some significance in the process of joining; upon Sasori's death, Tobi attempted to join by taking the fallen member's ring, but his membership was denied. Deidara reinforces the significance of the rings; seemingly unaffected by the recent loss of both his arms, he expresses the importance of finding the ring that he lost along with one of his arms. Each ring bears a unique color and symbol. In total, there are ten rings, but Akatsuki only possesses nine; the tenth was kept by Orochimaru after he defected from the organization. Each member wears his ring on the same finger as the spot he occupies on the giant statue.
It is currently unknown if the rings have special properties as the rings seem to never be removed except upon the death of the wearer. Also, Akatsuki has not taken a tenth member since Orochimaru left with the tenth ring, so it is possible the rings are irreplaceable or have some special value beyond simple identification.
The various rings are:
- 零, Rei/zero - zero/nothing/overflow: worn by the Akatsuki leader.
- 青龍 - せいりゅう, Seiryū - Green/blue Dragon - God of East and Spring: worn by Deidara.
- 白虎- びゃっこ, Byakko - White Tiger - God of West and Autumn: worn by the unknown member.
- 朱雀 - すざく, Suzaku - Hōō (literally "Red Sparrow") - God of South and Summer: worn by Itachi.
- 玄武 - げんぶ, Genbu - Tortoise (literally "Mysterious Warrior") - God of North and Winter: worn by Zetsu. Zetsu's ring actually has the kanji 亥 (Kai, boar). The two kanji are somewhat similar in appearance though, which suggests an error by either the artist or the reader/translator.
- 空陳 - くうちん, Kūchin - The Void: formerly worn by Orochimaru and is still in his possession.
- 南斗 - なんじゅ, Nanju - Southern Star: worn by Kisame.
- 北斗 - ほくと, Hokuto - Northern Star: worn by Kakuzu.
- 三台 - さんたい, Santai - The Three Levels: worn by Hidan.
- 玉女 - ぎょくにょ, Gyokunyo - The Virgin: worn by Sasori (deceased) and recovered by Tobi.
Teams
Akatsuki members appear to always work in teams of two, though due to Orochimaru's defection their numbers are now uneven so one or more members appear to be working alone. Currently, Zetsu, the leader, and the last unknown member are not known to be in any team; it is unknown which of these three form the last team, or indeed if they all work alone or even form a team of three.Teams are built to complement each other's abilities and talents to create a formidable duo. Each member thus far has shown complete loyalty to the other and to their mysterious leader, but nothing has been shown to indicate that they consider each other comrades. For example, Sasori's death by itself does not seem to bother them, but rather the fact that someone was able to kill him.
Members
Akatsuki has had a total of ten members, inculding the deceased Sasori and the defected Orochimaru. Though Orochimaru's departure happened several years before the initial introduction of the group, they have yet to replace him; this is either because Orochimaru took his supposedly irreplaceable Akatsuki ring with him when he left or they haven't found a worthy replacement. The organization has recovered the ring of the recently deceased Sasori, but it is unknown if they have yet replaced him with a new member.Two of the members have still not been named or shown except as shadowy holograms; one of these two has had some dialogue and been attributed to being the leader, while the identity of the other remains a complete mystery. In the anime, only Kisame, Itachi, and Zetsu have been named.

Trivia
- A mistake by the scanlation group Inane led readers of the Naruto manga to believe the Akatsuki leader possessed the Sharingan. However, high quality versions of the manga revealed that what was thought to be the Sharingan was simply image distortion.
Deidara
- Age: ?
- Status: Active
- Eye color: Blue

- Weight: ?
- Birthday: ?
- Blood type: ?
- Ring: 青 (Sei, blue/green)
- Position: Right index finger
- Partner: Formerly Sasori
- Debut: Chapter 247; Episode 135 (unnamed silhouette)
- Unique traits: Specialist in clay based jutsu, clay manipulation, mouths in palms of hands, artistic nature (fleeting style), scope in eye socket
During his fight with Gaara, his left arm was mangled by Gaara's Sabaku Kyū (The Coffin of Crushing Sand), but he still managed to defeat the new Kazekage when he threatened Sunagakure itself. Deidara remarked after winning that it was just like a Kage to save their village over their own life. This may or may not imply a history with another Kage, most likely the Tsuchikage.
Deidara lost his right arm to Hatake Kakashi when Kakashi used his newly obtained Mangekyō Sharingan against him. As a last resort (and in keeping with his favorite art form), Deidara blew up one of his bunshin in an attempt to kill everyone else around him after absorbing some of his clay though his mouth. However, his bunshin was teleported away from the scene by Kakashi. Deidara later returned after burrowing away from the scene and looked for his Akatsuki ring which he lost due to Kakashi's attack. Zetsu and Tobi both expressed surprise that Deidara was still alive when they found him after discovering Sasori's death. Deidara is presumably still a member of Akatsuki, because he had successfully accomplished his mission to capture Gaara.
Trivia
- Due to the Japanese language's sparse use of third person pronouns, translators have to use their own ideas of Deidara's gender to make sentences flow smoothly. This has caused a lot of confusion, since both "he" and "she" are used to refer to Deidara. However, Deidara speaks of himself using male pronouns and has been given a very deep, male voice in the anime.
- Deidara seems to end most of his sentences with "un", often translated as "yeah" or "hmm" in scanlations.
- Deidara came third in the sixth Naruto Character Popularity Contest (taken in Japan), placing even higher than Uzumaki Naruto.
- Deidara's design is possibly influenced by Okamoto Taro; a phrase he says while fighting Gaara, "Art is a Bang," is actually a famous phrase of Okamoto. The clay sculpture's hole-like eyes are also a famous characteristic of Okamoto's work. Lastly, one of Deidara's clay bombs greatly resembles Okamoto's famous work, the "Sun Pagoda".
Hidan

- Eye color: ?
- Hair color: ?
- Height: ?
- Weight: ?
- Birthday: ?
- Blood Type: ?
- Ring: 三 (San, three)
- Position: Left index finger
- Partner: Kakuzu
- Debut: Chapter 312; Episode 135 (unnamed silhouette)
- Unique traits: Strict follower of his religion (Jashin), believes only in total destruction, easy to anger, talkative
On their last assignment Hidan and Kakuzu successfully captured the Nibi, though Hidan was not happy about leaving her alive (having pinned her hands to a wall with kunai). Zetsu eventually came to retrieve her while Hidan and Kakuzu left towards the Land of Fire. They invaded a temple in the Land of Fire to see if their next target was there. When they arrived, Hidan was already thinking about how it may be bad to invade a temple and kill monks, as it might be blasphemous and send him to hell. They didn't find their target, so they are continuing into the Land of Fire.
Trivia
- The first character in Hidan's name (飛) stands for hisha, the rook in shogi. Similarly, the first character in Kakuzu's name (角) stands for kakugyō, a bishop in shogi.
- He is very talkative about the importance of his religion, and believes that he, as a follower, is holy. He constantly blames Kakuzu for their tardiness.
Hoshigaki Kisame
- Age: 29 in Part I, 31 in Part II
- Status: Active
- Eye color: Black
- Hair color: Dark Blue
- Height: 195 cm2
- Weight: 83.1 kg2
- Birthday: March 18
- Blood type: AB
- Ring: 南 (Nan, south)
- Position: Left ring finger
- Partner: Uchiha Itachi
- Seiyu: Tomoyuki Dan
- Debut: Chapter 139; Episode 80
- Unique traits: Shark-like appearance, commonly uses water-based jutsu, large chakra supply, high physical strength, Samehada (sentient, chakra-absorbing sword)
Kisame comes from Kirigakure. He is known as the Mysterious Person of the Hidden Mist (霧隠れの怪人, "Kirigakure no Kaijin"). He is also one of the Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Shū (霧の忍刀七人衆, "Seven Swordsmen of the Mist"), seven powerful ninja who utilize large and unique swords. Momochi Zabuza and Kurosuki Raiga were also members.
Kisame's main weapon is Samehada (鮫肌, "Shark skin"), which is a sword of comparable size to Momochi Zabuza's zanbatō. Unlike a regular sword, however, Samehada is covered in scales that carve instead of cut, much like a shark's skin (hence the name). Additionally, it has the ability to absorb any chakra around it, allowing Kisame to literally cut through his enemy's chakra. The amount that it can absorb is unclear. Finally, Samehada is a sentient weapon, and only allows Kisame to wield it. When Might Guy attempted to hold Samehada and use it against Kisame, it responded with a flurry of needles from its hilt and ultimately found its way back to Kisame.
The amount of chakra Kisame possesses is apparently considered very large, even by Akatsuki's standards. Their leader commented on his amount of chakra; a Kisame body-double at 30% power, made with the leader's Shōten no Jutsu (Shapeshifting Technique), had as much chakra as Uzumaki Naruto possessed while drawing on Kyūbi's chakra when he fought Neji during the Chūnin exams, an observation also made by Hyūga Neji when he observed Kisame's body-double with his Byakugan.
Kisame has displayed astonishing speed comparable to that of Might Guy, and incredible physical strength toppled only by the chakra-augmented strength of Tsunade. Like everyone seen from the Hidden Mist Village, Kisame uses water element jutsu in combination with his powerful physical attacks.
Trivia
- Kisame (鬼鮫) means demon shark, probably a reference to his tall height and appearance.
- Hoshigaki (干柿) means dried persimmon.
- Kisame is the only other person to use Suiton Ninjutsu without a water source besides the Second Hokage.
- Samehada is the name of the creature that attaches itself to the three-tailed shark in Japanese mythology.

Trivia
- The first character in Kakuzu's name (角) stands for kakugyō, a bishop in shogi. Similarly, the first character in Hidan's name (飛) stands for hisha, the rook in shogi.
Orochimaru
- Status: Defected
- Ring: 空 (Kū, sky)
- Position: Left little finger
- Partner: Formerly Sasori
Whatever their remaining connections are, Orochimaru and Akatsuki also seem to be working off similar timetables, as the three years it takes Orochimaru to prepare to take over Sasuke's body seem to coincide with Akatsuki's plans for capturing more bijū.
Sasori
- Age: ?
- Status: Deceased
- Eye color: Red
- Hair color: Red
- Height: ?
- Weight: ?
- Birthday: ?
- Blood type: ?
- Ring: 玉 (Gyoku, jewel/ball/jade)
- Position: Left thumb
- Partner: Deidara, (formerly Orochimaru)
- Debut: Chapter 247; Episode 135 (unnamed silhouette)
- Unique traits: Specialist in ninja puppetry, artificial puppet body, ability to turn living people into puppets, artistic nature (long-lasting style)
Sasori (赤砂のサソリ, "Akasuna no Sasori", "Sasori of the Red Sand", literally "Scorpion of the Red Sand"), Deidara's partner, is a missing-nin from the Hidden Sand Village. In first appearance, he is a hideous hunchbacked figure with a poisoned, scorpion-like, puppet tail attached. He is known as Akasuna no Sasori ("Sasori of the Red Sand"), the creator of Kankurō's puppets among others, and a genius puppeteer in his own right. His first appearance is during their mission to Sunagakure where Deidara is to capture Gaara. After Gaara's capture, Kankurō attempts to stop the Akatsuki duo, but to no avail. Sasori battled the enraged brother, nearly killing him and easily destroying Kankurō's puppets in the process. In the end, Sasori was killed by his grandmother, Chiyo, and Haruno Sakura, whom Chiyo controlled with chakra strings like a puppet.
It is revealed that he left the village 20 years before, but the background on his crimes is unknown at this point. Flashbacks seem to indicate that his descent into darkness started when his parents died, and he attempted to simulate being with them by turning their corpses into puppets (the first puppets he ever created). After hearing news of her grandson's return, Chiyo decides to join Team Kakashi in search of the duo and to rescue Gaara.
Sasori and Deidara have quite different views of what art is. Sasori believes art is something that should last forever, while Deidara believes art is fleeting. Although Deidara respects Sasori's view, Sasori doesn't seem to respect Deidara's.
During combat, Sasori "wears" a few of his puppets and controls them from inside, thus eliminating the puppeteer's weakness of being a separate and exposed target. His favorite puppet is named 'Hiruko' (ヒルコ), according to Chiyo. Hiruko has a mechanical tail extending from the mouth of what appears to be a mask on his back, the left arm is something that appears to be a large studded projectile capable of firing shrapnel, and the clearly artificial mouth opens to reveal a projectile-firing device. What makes him even more frightening, however, was the fact that Sasori makes his puppets out of human bodies, as he stated in the quote. So far, he has a collection of 298 hitokugutsu, (人傀儡, "person puppets") made out of human bodies. And to show this, after he was forced to abandon Hiruko, he summoned a hitokugutsu of the Third Kazekage. This puppet was made from the living body of the Kazekage, and thus is able to retain some traits and jutsu of the Kazekage while he was alive.
The truly frightening aspect of Sasori was that his real body was still as young as Chiyo remembered it from when Sasori left his village, 20 years ago. The secret of his youth is revealed after the Kazekage puppet is destroyed: he had made himself into a puppet. His stomach is now hollow, allowing a thick cable to be coiled and stored inside; the cable can act both as a stinger and a support for his body. On his back, a pair of arms, equipped with five large claws, is mounted, and on top of the spine is a scroll holder holding four scrolls, used to summon the puppets for his Aka Higi: Hyakki no Soen (Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets) and firing the flamethrowers mounted in each of his hands. His right chest contains a hidden compartment, which can spin unknown numbers of chakra strings to control one hundred or more puppets. Over his heart is a large talisman that has the kanji 蠍 (Sasori, "Scorpion"). His puppet body can string itself together after being splintered into multiple pieces; this is because the only part of him which is still truly "alive" (and thus able to control chakra) is his heart, located under the talisman. He can also easily transfer the talisman, and by extension himself, between puppets. How he transfers his face/facial features, as depicted in the manga, is not explained.
The talisman also proved to be his only weakness, as Chiyo used his mother's and father's puppets to stab him through this location in a manner similar to the hug that he subconsciously desired. Interestingly, Chiyo seemed to believe that in the end Sasori had allowed himself to be killed - he saw the attack coming and chose not to react, and he died in a way similar to how his parent puppets used to embrace him. At the end of the battle, Chiyo, Sasori, and Sakura are all fatally wounded, but Chiyo uses a jutsu she originally developed for Sasori, "to give life to a lifeless puppet," to save Sakura's life. The jutsu takes the life of the user if performed on an inanimate object, but did not kill Chiyo since Sakura was still alive. Later, Chiyo uses the life jutsu again on Gaara, trading her life to revive the dead Kazekage.
Sasori's last words (as a reward to Sakura for defeating him) were that he has a spy in Orochimaru's ranks, whom he was supposed to meet with in Kusagakure in ten days. This spy is revealed to be Yakushi Kabuto. However, Orochimaru had long ago undone the jutsu on Kabuto that kept him (and presumably others, such as Yūra) loyal to Akatsuki, and Kabuto remained loyal to Orochimaru.
At the time of his death, Sasori had not yet captured his Jinchūriki. A short dialogue between him and Deidara suggest that Sasori did not even know what Jinchūriki he had been assigned to target.
Uchiha Itachi
- Age: 18 in Part I, 20 in Part II
- Status: Active
- Eye color: Black, Red/Black with Sharingan
- Hair color: Black
- Height: 175.2 cm2
- Weight: 57.1 kg2
- Birthday: June 9
- Blood type: AB
- Registration #: 012110
- Ring: 朱 (Shu, scarlet/bloody)
- Position: Right ring finger
- Partner: Hoshigaki Kisame
- Seiyu: Hideo Ishikawa
- Voice actor: Skip Stellrecht (flashbacks in episodes 29 and 30 only)
- Debut: Chapter 139; Episode 80
- Unique traits: Master of the Sharingan, Mangekyō Sharingan
He graduated at the top of his Academy class at age 7, had mastered the Sharingan by age 8, became a Chūnin at 10 and was previously an ANBU squad leader at the age of 13.
He left Konoha about five years prior to the setting of Naruto, after slaying his whole clan with the exception of Uchiha Sasuke, his little brother. At 13, he was feared by even Orochimaru. He is now currently associated with Akatsuki. Orochimaru had planned to use Itachi's body as a new container for his soul, but Itachi's power had grown to such a frightening extent that Orochimaru dared not carry out his plan, and decided to leave Akatsuki and try his luck with the younger Sasuke instead.
The reason Itachi killed his clan, and the reason he left only his brother Sasuke alive, still remains unclear. When questioned by Sasuke, he replied "To test my 'utsuwa'." In Japanese, 'utsuwa' (器) can mean "vessel," or "container," but it can also mean "ability," or "tool." Orochimaru uses this word to refer to the bodies he takes over with his Fushi Tensei no Jutsu ("Living Corpse Reincarnation"). In this respect, Itachi's words can mean anything from him having a past connection with Orochimaru, to him simply wanting to test his own power, or to his plans to join Akatsuki and forsake past relations. To make matters even more ambiguous, the first person pronoun Itachi used can also be used as a vulgar second person pronoun, so he could also have meant that he wanted to test Sasuke's 'utsuwa,' although this is unlikely, given his previous remarks about his 'utsuwa'.
He was, until recently, the only known living person who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan as revealed in the manga. Itachi has told Sasuke that if Sasuke were to obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, the people able to use it will total three.
Despite being the murderer of his entire clan, as well as his closest friend, Itachi does not appear to kill simply for the sake of it, but instead seems to use just enough force to achieve his goals. When Sarutobi Asuma and Yūhi Kurenai stood between him and the way to his goal (Uzumaki Naruto), he did not kill Kurenai when given the chance. Likewise, he could have easily killed Kakashi and Sasuke, but instead chose to torture them with his Mangekyō Sharingan so that they would witness his power.
Trivia
- The name "Itachi" means "Weasel". In Japanese mythology, weasels are a bad omen, signifying bad luck and death.
- His favorite food appears to be green and red colored dango (Japanese dumplings) on a stick.
- It is at one point suggested that overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan has damaged his eyesight somehow. It is unknown if this has had or will have any affect on his fighting ability.
Zetsu
- Age: ?
- Status: Active
- Eye color: Green
- Hair color: Green
- Height: ?
- Weight: ?
- Birthday: ?
- Blood type: ?
- Ring: 亥 (Kai, boar)
- Position: Right little finger
- Partner: None or not yet introduced
- Debut: Chapter 234; Episode 134
- Unique traits: Venus-flytrap like extensions around body, dual personality, skin color split into white and black halves, cannibal
His first appearance was after the Naruto and Sasuke fight at the end of the first arc, which he observed in secret. He was also responsible for warning Akatsuki of the positions of the approaching Team Kakashi and Team Guy during their extraction of Gaara's bijū.
He seems to have a split personality, as the white half of his face speaks only in Katakana (which could indicate a robotic voice) while the black side uses Kanji and Kana, and they seem to converse with each other. He also has cannibalistic tendencies as he ate Kisame's body substitute used for the Shōten no Jutsu (Shapeshifting Technique), a feature that fits with his "venus flytrap" theme.
The leader dispatched Zetsu to recover Sasori and Deidara's Akatsuki rings since they were expected to both be killed, but Deidara survived. This highlighted some significance in the rings since Zetsu takes Sasori's ring and Tobi asks if he can join Akatsuki in Sasori's place. One half of Zetsu scoffs at the idea, but the other seems intrigued.
Some time later, Zetsu appears before Hidan and Kakuzu after they have successfully defeated Yugito. He lets the pair head off on their next assignment, his parting words being that "I will take care of the Nibi."
Atatsuki members have so far generally seemed to report to Zetsu as if he was a superior, though perhaps only because he is often acting directly on the instructions of the leader.
Trivia
- Zetsu's ring has the kanji 亥 (Kai, boar) while the list of Akatsuki rings suggests he should have the kanji 玄 (Gen, mysteriousness). The two kanji are somewhat similar in appearance though, which suggests an error by either the artist or the reader/translator.
- His skin resembles the yin and yang symbol.
- Zetsu's facial appearance is exactly the same as that of Bele from the episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", minus the longer hair.

Tobi has a very formal, correct manner of speech. Tobi finds Deidara's other arm, but Deidara tells him to drop it. After being scolded by Deidara three times, Deidara strangles Tobi with his feet.
It is currently unknown if Tobi has managed to obtain the rank of an Akatsuki member; however, since he believes himself worthy and no one has said otherwise, it is plausible that he is of, or close to, Akatsuki level. Unlike the majority of ninja thus far, Tobi has not been shown wearing a visible forehead protector, so his place of origin is unknown.
