The Akatsuki Organization
|
The
"Akatsuki" kanji means daybreak, breaking down the word itself gives us
"aka" meaning red and "tsuki" meaning moon. Akatsuki was founded in the
Rain Country by Yahiko, Konan and Nagato. Yahiko wanted to bring peace
to the bloody, war-ridden country and sought like minded individuals at
his side. When he met Rain leader Hanzou to talk peace, he was betrayed
by the man and had to kill himself to save Konan's life. After being
traumatized by Yahiko's death, Nagato adopted a new harder outlook on
how to achieve peace as the group's new leader.
Around this time the group became affiliated with a man claiming to
be Uchiha Madara. The masked figure used his power and influence to
secretly run the group and draw in new more deadly allies from
throughout the world. Under this man, Akatsuki began to attract new
S-Ranked criminals. Many of these are missing-nins who fled their
villages after causing death and destruction. Over time most of the
Akatsuki members were killed or neutralized in battle. There are
currently only 2 active Akatsuki members: Tobi (Uchiha Obito) and Zetsu.
Most members wear a forehead protector from their hidden village with a
scratch through it, and all wear a ring identifying their position in
the organization and a black cloak with red clouds. In the early years
of the group, they acted as mercenaries for hire, offering their
services to villages wary of taxing their own resources. While
travelling about, the group members will work in groups of two
collecting knowledge of new skills and jutsu.
Akatsuki seeks to capture the Bijuu and their hosts the
"Jinchuuriki," meaning the power of human sacrifice. These are the
individuals possessing bijuu (tailed beasts) within their bodies. The
demons are known by the number of tails their body possesses. When the
Bijuu is removed from the Jinchuuriki's body, the host dies. All the
captured hosts lost their lives save for Gaara, who was later
resurrected with a tensei jutsu. The only remaining Bijuu are the
Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails within Naruto. Akatsuki's current base of
operation is unknown, however they have multiple bases to which they
can travel. These bases are used to summon the gigantic King of Hell
statue known as Gedou Mazou. The statue's mouth is bound and his hands
are cuffed. Each respective finger of the statue's hand represents the
Akatsuki member. Each statue finger thus represents the kanji and ring
finger of the member.
The members have the ability to project their presence to their
base, this allows them to remain out and about and still conduct the
business of Jinchuuriki demon extraction. This process takes three days
and nights due to the absence of Orochimaru. This length of time goes
for both free roaming bijuu and bijuu enhanced Jinchuuriki. To begin to
leach the power from the Jinchuuriki, the members will use the sealing
technique of GenryuuKyuu Fuujin (Mystical Dragon Nine Exhaustion). This
causes the mouth of the statue to open. Nine spectral dragons will
emerge to coalesce around the Jinchuuriki to begin the extraction
process. When extraction is completed, the bijuu spirit will be sealed
within the statue and one of its eyes will open denoting a captured
bijuu spirit. The Jinchuuriki themselves will fall back to the earth,
dead.
Akatsuki's ultimate goal is to control the world. This would be
accomplished through capturing and sealing away the Bijuu into the Gedou
Mazou statue. The tailed beasts were once part of one more powerful
creature known as the Juubi. The first ninja, Rikudou Sennin, split the
Juubi's soul from its body and sealed it within himself. He then encased
its body in rock to create the moon. When his life was nearing its end,
he split the Juubi out into 9 separate Bijuu. Akatsuki sought to
recombine these Bijuu back into the Juubi. Uchiha Madara would then
embue the Juubi into himself, to gain enough power to cast a permanent
Genjutsu on the moon known as his "Eye of the Moon" plan. Because
Madara's aging body would prevent him from seeing the plan to fruition,
he took on a pupil, the heavily injured Uchiha Obito who would carry out
his plan. This plan would make them the supreme power in the world and
cause "peace" under their rule. To that end, Obito used the genetic
material of Shodai Hokage and the captured Yamato, to greatly bolster
his army of White Zetsu. Obito then aligned with the Orochimaru
tissue-infected Yakushi Kabuto, who was working towards his own ends.
With Kabuto's increase in power, he cast Edo Tensei, resurrected scores
of dead ninja, including many former Akatsuki members and the deceased
Uchiha Madara in his prime age form. Madara, who had planned to be
revived by Nagato's Rinnegan powers, was instead brought back in an Edo
Tensei form embued with Senju Hashirama's DNA. This granted him the
ability to unlock the Rinnegan and eventually free himself from the
binds of Edo Tensei, giving him an invincible body. With a combined army
of White Zetsu, the resurrected ninja, Madara and Obito, Akatsuki
declared war on the world and the Fourth Great Ninja War began.

| The Gear |
| Ring and Manicure |
 |
Drawn
from ancient Chinese and Japanese lore, the kanji on each ring have
served in the past as representations of Gods, to help in concentration
before battle and in protection from evil. Their ring placement on their
finger corresponds to their position on the summoned statue, with each
member wearing the ring on a different finger. The rings seem important
to each member, as Deidara was set on finding his when it was lost.
Orochimaru also took his when he left the group, which apparently denied
the group the ability to replace him with someone new. With Sasori's
death, Tobi was eager to get his ring and join, but he would need to go
through their entrance requirements first.
The Akatsuki member also has manicured and painted nails. |
| Forehead Protector |
 |
Each
member wears the traditional forehead protector of the hidden village
from which they fled. The protector has been modified though to bear a
large scratch through the symbol, showing they no longer hold the same
ideals their village does. |
| Cloak |
 |
Each
member wears a black cloak that bears red clouds. The inside of the
cloak is red in color. The cloak is knee length and has a high collar.
Underneath the cloak the ninja is seen to wear the more traditional
clothing of their home village. |
| Hat |
 |
Members
wear a traditional bamboo hat (kasa) to hide their appearance when
traveling. The hat will be removed when the member enters battle. |

they both shared similar philosophies. Being moved by Naruto's
personality and will, Nagato hardened persona regained some hope in the

|
| The Groups |
| Deidara and Sasori |
|
Deidara and Sasori were known for being artists. Deidara uses clay to
model his explosive animals and Sasori was a master puppet maker.
Deidara acted as the junior in their partnership, deferring to Sasori as
the stronger ninja. This did not stop them from getting into spats
about the nature of art though. After Sasori's death, Tobi assumed his
position and role as Deidara's partner. Deidara was assigned to capture
the Ichibi and Tobi the Sanbi. Sasori did not know where his Jinchuuriki
was. It is unknown if this was the Sanbi or some other individual.
|
| Deidara and Tobi |
|
Deidara
and Tobi share a very strained relationship. Always eager to impress
his new teammates, Tobi was prone to excitement. This often annoyed
Deidara who tried to do his best to show Tobi what it meant to be an
Akatsuki member. Tobi was assigned to capture the Sanbi. Though he
boasted that he took out the beast himself, he was helped in his
assignment by Deidara. Deidara was unaware of Tobi's true nature during
their time together.
|
| Hidan and Kakuzu |
|
Hidan
and Kakuzu work together and share a somewhat testy relationship. Hidan
follows a very strict religion, which annoys Kakuzu with its long
rituals. Hidan is very defensive of the religion, causing Kakuzu to
often get tired of his partner's diatribes. Kakuzu on the other hand
often makes side-trips to collect bounties, which annoys Hidan. Hidan
was assigned to capture the Nibi. It is unknown what tailed beast Kakuzu
was assigned.
|
| Itachi and Kisame |
|
Itachi and Kisame work together and form a rather strong partnership.
Both men seem to respect each other and Kisame seems to act as the
junior in the group, deferring to Itachi's decisions. Itachi was
assigned to capture the Kyuubi and Kisame was assigned the Yonbi.
|
| Pain and Konan |
|
Pain
and Konan work together, carrying out a partnership that has lasted
since their youth in the Rain Country. Both reported to "Madara", who
operated in the guise of Tobi.
|
| Associates |
| Yakushi Kabuto |
 |
Several
years before the series started, Kabuto worked for Sasori as a spy. He
operated under Sasori's memory block jutsu and was placed into
Orochimaru's confidence in the hopes of learning more about Orochimaru's
body transfer jutsu. However, Orochimaru removed the memory block jutsu
and the young man was impressed enough by Orochimaru that he chose to
join him. Sasori was ignorant of this fact and had scheduled a meeting
with Kabuto. Kabuto went to the meeting playing the part of his loyal
spy, but he planned to kill Sasori with the help of Orochimaru. When
Orochimaru himself was later neutralized by Sasuke, Kabuto implanted
some of Orochimaru's tissue into his body, gaining new power in the
process as it began to take over his body. He then located Tobi and
offered his services to Akatsuki once again. To prove he was
trustworthy, he resurrected Deidara, Itachi, Kakuzu, Nagato, Sasori and
Uchiha Madara. He then worked alongside Tobi and Madara to control his
many resurrected ninja during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Kabuto was
eventually neutralized by the free Itachi, who caused Kabuto end the Edo
Tensei. |
| Team Hawk |
 |
After
Uchiha Madara revealed the true events behind Itachi's actions, Sasuke
chose to side with the legendary ninja against Konoha. After that
revelation, he changed the name of his team from "Snake" to "Hawk". The
group then donned Akatsuki robes and set out to capture the Eight-Tails
Jinchuuriki for Madara. The group then infiltrated the meeting of the
Five Kage, with Sasuke eventually abandoning the others to find revenge
against Danzou. During the battle with Danzou, Sasuke sacrificed Karin's
safety to kill the elder ninja from Konoha. The gravely wounded Karin
was eventually captured by Konoha and expressed willingness to leave her
ties to Akatsuki and Sasuke behind for good. Suigetsu and Juugo's still
consider themselves Sasuke's allies, and have rejoined their comrade
alongside the revived Orochimaru. |
| Ginji |
 |
Former
Akatsuki member Kakuzu was a bounty hunter and obsessed with wealth. He
used the services of Ginji to manage his extensive wealth. After his
death, Team Snake sought out Ginji to learn about Akatsuki's
whereabouts. |
| Yuura |
 |
Yuura
has served as a trusted member of the Kazekage advisory council for
four years. Little did Yuura know that he had been placed under a memory
block jutsu for over a decade. This block was placed by his former
master Sasori. The block made Yuura forget that he was actually
gathering data and serving as a plant to wipe out the Sand's defenses.
When Sasori returned to Hidden Sand, he activated Yuura and removed the
memory block. Returning to his masters commands, Yuura wiped out the
Sands defenses, allowing them easier access to capture Gaara. Yuura was
later used in a sacrifical jutsu to provide a host body for Uchiha
Itachi to inhabit when he fought Kakashi and Naruto. Zetsu later ate his
body for sustenance. |
| Mukade |
 |
Mukade
served was an underling of Akatsuki member Sasori. He was used as a
sacrifice to take on the form of Hoshigaki Kisame in Pain's Shouten no
Jutsu. Kisame fought Guy and managed to imprison Neji, Lee and TenTen.
Guy was forced to open several gates and used his Asakujaku technique to
pummel "Kisame" and defeat him. In the rubble, the body of Mukade lost
its appearance and revealed to Guy that they had not actually been
fighting Kisame at all. |
| Zangei |
 |
Zangei
was a bounty exchange master who ran one of the disposal centers
located in Fire Country region. The center was located in a secret area
accessed through a men's restroom. Akatsuki member Kakuzu often used
this center to drop off corpses of the bounties he had collected. Zangei
would gladly pay Kakuzu for his services. He was later captured by
Konoha and taken in for interrogation by Morino Ibiki. |

Naruto and the Hachibi Bijuu named Kiraa Bii (Killer Bee). After Uchiha
Madara swayed Sasuke to his side, he sent the young man after this
Bijuu. Killer Bee posseses the ability to become his Bijuu, that of a
tentacled ox beast. He was eventually knocked out by Sasuke's Amaterasu
and taken for sealing. His body was revealed as a transformed tentacle,
while the real Bee was still safe in Lightning. This allowed Bee to
escape capture and evade Akatsuki. Bee then helped Naruto train to
control the Kyuubi, and later fought alongside him in the Fourt Great

Bijuu: Kyuubi no Youko (Nine-Tailed Fox Demon)

Info: Yondaime Hokage imprisoned the Kyuubi within Naruto
after it attacked Konoha. Like many Jinchuuriki, Naruto led a lonely
life. Over time though, he gained friends and left his life of despair
behind. He has been trained by the Sannin Jiraiya to make full use of
Jinchuuriki gifts. He later trained alongside Killer Bee to fully master
control of the Kyuubi chakra. Upon finally coming to terms with the
Kyuubi, Naruto fully partnered with Kurama, and gained access to his
full power. Naruto then fought alongside Killer Bee in the Fourth Great
Ninja War.

Lee memiliki kemampuan taijutsu yang sangat hebat, sayangnya dia tidak memiliki jurus ninjutsu dan genjutsu.
Sama halnya dengan Naruto, Lee juga mencintai Sakura Haruno dan
berjanji untuk menjaganya sampai mati. Salah satu jurus andalannya
adalah Urarenge. Akan tetapi pada saat ujian chuunin babak penyisihan ke-3 melawan Gaara, dia sudah menggunakan Urarenge
sampai membuka gerbang ke-5, tetapi dia kalah dan tangan dan kaki
kirinya cedera parah sehingga ia tak bisa lagi menjadi seorang ninja.
Tetapi tak lama setelah itu, Tsunade
kembali ke Konoha dan mengobati luka Lee. Setelah itu ia mengejar tim
10, dan dia melawan Kimimaro, dan dia mengeluarkan jurus mabuk. Sayang
sekali tetapi dia tetap kalah dan dibantu oleh Gaara. Dia pun ikut dalam
pengejaran menolong Garaa. Sekarang Lee adalah Ninja Chuunin laki-laki
yang paling hebat di Konohagakure.
