Top 10 Naruto Akatsuki Members

Vote for your favorite Akatsuki members from Naruto and Naruto Shippuuden.
The Top Ten
1 Itachi Uchiha Itachi Uchiha is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto.

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...

2 Sasori Sasori is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

One of the few characters with a complete past, present, and future. The whole development was seen through to the end. He was uber 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 old 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.

I won't go into sex appeal...

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.

3 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!

4 Deidara Deidara 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.

Deidara, the lovable, loud, fangirl-worthy, gir - I mean boy. It's kind of understandable to see him as a girl due to his perfect long blonde hair. But 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. And somehow, that fiery attitude turns into a loud, rambunctious, ego-swelled man who probably thinks too highly of himself sometimes. But somehow, he's something like the murderer in a show that you just seem drawn to and interested in. He seems to have, deep inside, a loving and childish nature that he only seems to show once or twice. But those once or twice really change your outlook of him.

5 Hidan Hidan 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.

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 and meshes very well with that fact. 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. Don't forget, 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, you know, he's immortal.

6 Konan Konan 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.

She's like, the only female Akatsuki member. Give her some credit, people! And 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? Laugh out loud, she is the most underrated character in the Akatsuki! She completely beasted Tobi. If not for his stupid Izanagi. Sure, she had prep before that, but come on... Where could she have seen Tobi and his move set? I doubt someone like Hidan could do that.

7 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.

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.

8 Obito Uchiha Obito Uchiha, also known by his alias Tobi, 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.

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.

9 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 (who needs Rinnegan, laugh out loud), and can put himself together if he loses a hand or leg (but he can't lose it anyway... You can't cut his leg off). 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.

10 Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha is a fictional manga and anime character in the Naruto series created by Masashi Kishimoto. He appears for the first time in "Part II" of the manga and the Shippuden anime adaptation, as a major villain.

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

He should be first! What the heck? 123#

He's smarter, faster, and more tactical than Itachi. Just think about it.

The Contenders
11 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.

12 Jugo Jugo is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
13 Suigetsu Hōzuki
14 Orochimaru Orochimaru 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.

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

15 Jiraiya Jiraiya is a fictional character in the Naruto anime and manga series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Introduced in the series' first part, he was a student of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and one of the three "Legendary Sannin" along with Orochimaru and Lady Tsunade, his former teammates.
16 Zetsu Zetsu is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

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.

17 Karin
18 Kabuto Yakushi Kabuto Yakushi is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

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.

19 Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke is awesome and badass, even though he's really arrogant.

20 Hashirama Senju Hashirama Senju is a fictional character from the manga and anime franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto. He was a legendary shinobi who led the Senju clan prior to and after forming Konohagakure with his rival, Madara Uchiha. After the founding of Konoha, he became the First Hokage.
21 Juzo Biwa
22 Neji Hyuga

Neji is totally the best Akatsuki member! Remember the time that he and his partner Tenten single-handedly captured Han, the Five Tails Jinchuriki, by a Juuken and a sword in the ass? Yeah... that was totally epic.

The best Akatsuki member ever. Remember when he single-handedly killed every single shinobi in the world? That was good...

23 Rock Lee Rock Lee is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.
24 Naruto Uzumaki Naruto Uzumaki is a fictional character in the anime and manga franchise Naruto, created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Naruto is for sure the best Akatsuki member, better than Kakashi and Gaara.

25 Sakura Haruno Sakura Haruno is the main heroine of the series "Naruto Shonen Jump!" and Naruto Shippuden. She is the only female ninja of Team Seven. Her family consists of her mother, Mebuki Haruno, and her father Kizashi Haruno. Her clan is likely not very well known around Konoha and up until "Boruto: Naruto Next... read more

I liked it when Sakura used the Byakusharingan to defeat Naruto and save the Hidden Sand Village. It was also nice when she battled Killer Bee and Pain during the Chunin exams. Remember when she fought against Madara and used her Mangekyou ShadowFireChidori Style just to win. I also remember when she used the Reverse Harem Jutsu to win against Sasuke (because he is Sasu-gay). Then we saw that she was really a Jinchuriki all along and had the 56-tailed fox. Her marriage with Lee was unforgettable. I am really happy that she is now Hokage. She even defeated the god, Konohamaru.
