Top 10 Best Naruto Akatsuki Members

The Akatsuki isn't just another group of villains in Naruto. They're some of the most complex, interesting, and memorable characters in the entire series. Each member brings something unique to the table, from insanely powerful jutsu to wild personalities and tragic backstories. They aren't just there to cause chaos. Many of them have deep motivations that tie into the bigger story of Naruto, making them fan favorites even though they're technically the bad guys.

This list is all about figuring out who the best Akatsuki members are. Maybe you're all about the strategic mastermind types like Obito, or you prefer the chaotic energy of someone like Deidara. Do you vibe with characters who are calm and collected, or do you lean toward the ones who blow stuff up, literally? Whatever your favorites are, this is your chance to vote for the ones you think deserve to be at the top.
The Top Ten
Itachi Uchiha Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character from the manga and anime series Naruto, which was created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is a member of the Uchiha clan and plays a key role in the series' storyline. Itachi is widely recognized for his complex character and significant influence on the plot.

First of all, think about his tough life. He had no choice but to kill everyone he held dear, all except Sasuke. Then, he had to lie to that only dear person alive and make them hate him for years. And he really loved Sasuke. It was hard for him to hurt his brother and stuff. His life wasn't a lovely one.

Second, think about how strong Itachi is. Seriously, Orochimaru couldn't beat him, Kakashi lasted two seconds against him, and he killed his clan in one night.

Third, think about what an interesting personality he has. He looks emotionless, but in reality, he's a real sweetheart. He's intelligent, reasonable, observant, loving, loyal, calm, secretive, and in all ways cool.

Fourth, he plays a big role in the plot. Fifth, he is pretty darn good-looking.

Sasori Sasori is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is a member of the criminal organization Akatsuki and is known for his mastery of puppetry techniques. Sasori is a powerful rogue ninja who turned his own body into a puppet to enhance his combat... read more

One of the few characters with a complete past, present, and future. The whole development was seen through to the end. He was very strong, had a tragic past, had an epic fight, had cool quotes, had an emotional death, helped move the story along, and then achieved his goal of becoming immortal. Not just any kind of immortal, but an artistic type of immortal. What was his passion again? That's right - it was art. He's immortal through his creations.

Seriously? Sasori deserves a better rank. Sasori is one of the best members. Yeah, he got killed by Sakura, but he didn't get killed like that. He let himself die. He didn't fight back, and that's a fact - even Chiyo said so. Besides, he beat Kankuro. He's very skilled. He killed the 3rd Kazekage and made him his puppet. I bet he would've been able to beat at least half of the Akatsuki. Sasori's a win. He has to get a better rank, guys.

Nagato

Pain is way better than Deidara and stronger than any Akatsuki! He destroyed the Hidden Leaf within seconds and he wasn't even present in the Hidden Leaf! Such great power and also such a noble heart. He had a bad past! He lost his parents when he was just a kid and his best friend in their quest for peace.

One of the best and strongest Naruto characters! Kakashi was killed by him and also given life again by him. He was referred to as the god of the Hidden Rain! He was immortal until he chose to die. He tempted Nine Tails to get its full form over Naruto! The best and the most exciting jutsus ever seen! He was simply AWESOME!

Deidara Deidara is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is a member of the Akatsuki organization and uses explosive clay-based techniques in combat. The Naruto franchise includes manga, anime, movies, soundtracks, OVAs, video games, and a wide range of merchandise... read more

Deidara, the lovable, loud, fangirl-worthy, boy. It's kind of understandable to see him as a girl due to his perfect long blonde hair. However, there are some features about him, like his mischievous smirk and daring blue eyes, that clearly show he's a boy. As for his personality, it's hard to put Deidara's personality into words.

He can be absolutely stunning on the battlefield, with his pure fiery passion for his explosive art shining through. Somehow, that fiery attitude turns into a loud, rambunctious, ego-swelled man who probably thinks too highly of himself sometimes. But somehow, he's like the murderer in a show that you just seem drawn to and interested in. He seems to have a loving and childish nature deep inside that he only shows once or twice. But those once or twice really change your outlook of him.

Obito Uchiha Obito Uchiha, also known by his alias Tobi, is a fictional character from the Naruto universe. He was created by Masashi Kishimoto and is a central antagonist in the series. The Naruto franchise includes manga, anime, movies, OVAs, video games, and various forms of merchandise.

Obviously, my favorite character in Naruto! He's awesome, I love him! He is someone you could always count on and the one who got your back. A true friend to the core. Sadly, his life took a wrong turn where the path of pain and destruction only awaits him. I've never been into a character before until I've watched Obito. I feel for this guy. He is so much bigger than his dreams and it was all shattered in a heartbeat. He is truly a heart-wrenching character.

He is the best as he is the last surviving member of the whole Akatsuki. Also, he was able to become a Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails and keep its psychotic mind under control during a battle. Additionally, he has abilities to warp through time and space. Although his personality sucks, he could beat any member of Akatsuki with his moves.

Konan Konan is a fictional character from the Naruto universe, created by Masashi Kishimoto. She is a founding member of the Akatsuki organization and the only female member in the group's original core. The Naruto franchise includes manga, anime series, original video animations, feature films, video games,... read more

She's like, the only female Akatsuki member. Give her some credit, people! Not only is she that, but she's the last to die. Technically, Tobi and Zetsu don't really count. Is that cheating? After, say, Nagato, Kisame, ITACHI, Deidara, come on! And she has blue hair! Any blue lovers here?

How can she possibly not be higher? She is the most underrated character in the Akatsuki! She completely defeated Tobi. If not for his stupid Izanagi. Sure, she had preparation before that, but come on... Where could she have seen Tobi and his move set? I doubt someone like Hidan could do that.

Hidan Hidan is a fictional character from Naruto, a series created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is an S-rank missing-nin from Yugakure and a member of the criminal organization Akatsuki, where he is partnered with Kakuzu. Hidan is known for his immortality and his devotion to the cult-like Jashin religion, which... read more

Hidan is an incredibly underrated character. His simple, darker design, and ultimately more realistic design make him more appealing than some of the more "anime-like" designs of the other characters. Hidan is effectively immortal, and his abrasive, loud, and uncaring personality complements that fact very well.

His weapons and personal style flow together quite smoothly, and his over-the-top cursing highlights this fact, making him a complete and comedic character. To give him a bit more edge, his main attack is literally collecting the blood of his enemies and creating a sacred ritual with it. This creates a unique power to injure others through injuring himself, which works perfectly, since he's immortal.

Kisame Hoshigaki Kisame Hoshigaki is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto and developed into a media franchise, which consists of a series of manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies, video games, and other collectibles... read more

I love Kisame because of how he dies. He feeds himself to his sharks to protect information. Admirable!

Kisame rules! Who else do you know that has a scaly sword which freaking eats chakra?!

How can you not like him? He's blue! And he can turn into a super shark.

Kakuzu Kakuzu is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Are you kidding me? This guy destroyed Kakashi (plus Ino and Chouji). He has five lives, uses every element, and can put himself together if he loses a hand or leg. He's vulnerable only to Raiton jutsus.

Want more? Then you get it. He has, like, 90 years of experience in fighting. Just try to beat that with some Deidara or Hidan. Not to mention that he is also very intelligent, I guess, with a brain on Kakashi's level. Oh, maybe you want him to run out of chakra? Good luck with that. I bet he can't run out as he spams monstrous jutsus all the time.

Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. He first appears in "Part II" of the manga and the Naruto: Shippuden anime adaptation as one of the main antagonists... read more

Because he was around in the elder days and he created the Nine Tailed Fox. And he is the strongest ninja besides Naruto.

Uchiha Madara was the most powerful character in Naruto manga.

He should be first! What the heck? 123.

The Newcomers

? Juzo Biwa
? Black Zetsu
The Contenders
Yahiko

Yahiko should be higher. He was the founder and creator of the Akatsuki, which should give him extra points. Plus, he's so brave, smart, and cool too. Not to mention his humor, cuteness, and power. As a leader, he was great, but as a friend to his comrades, he was even better. That's why he should be higher.

Orochimaru Orochimaru is a fictional character from the Naruto universe created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is known as one of the series' most powerful and dangerous antagonists, obsessed with gaining immortality and mastering forbidden jutsu. The Naruto franchise includes manga, anime, soundtracks, OVAs, movies,... read more

He is a man with a great view on a great mission.

Kabuto Yakushi Kabuto Yakushi is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He initially appears as a medical-nin and spy working for Orochimaru. Kabuto later becomes a major antagonist during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

He's the only Akatsuki member that has sage mode! Not only is he a snake, but he's a dragon! Not to mention, he created all the reanimated shinobi from the Fourth Great Ninja War, which includes all the Jinchuuriki, Akatsuki Members, Madara Uchiha, etc.

He's strong. For example, he has incredible medical skills. He can even summon Manda. Other than that, he's just plain out awesome.

Zetsu Zetsu is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He is composed of two beings, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, merged into a single entity. Zetsu serves as a spy for the Akatsuki organization, with Black Zetsu acting as the will of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki... read more

He has an interesting personality and is one of the best spies I've ever seen. To see him below a guy whose life is based on ramen is a little insane. He can multiply and can kill you in a second if he so wished. Besides, although we don't see him fight as much as the others, he still plays a key role. Life isn't just about getting the job done by fighting. You need someone to spy on the enemy and provide valuable information. Not to mention, he just looks awesome.

Zetsu is so awesome because he has two personalities and a Venus flytrap over his body.
