Throughout the Naruto anime, the Akatsuki criminal organization has been featured. The members of this group wanted to change the world for the better, but their methods were very cruel and unusual. All participants had unique techniques and incredible chakra. We present the top ninja from the Akatsuki organization, a list of the best and strongest shinobi of all time from the Naruto anime universe.
Akatsuki (暁) translated from Japanese means "dawn". A criminal group, which included some of the strongest ninja renegades. Throughout its history, the organization had three leaders:
- Yahiko ;.
- Pain (Nagato).
- Toby (Obito Uchiha).
Akatsuki's goal is to make the world a better place without war and hatred. Each leader pursued this plan according to his own vision.
All members of the organization wore long black cloaks with patterns in the form of red clouds. They symbolized the bloody rain that fell during the war in the village hidden in the rain.
Rings were another distinctive feature. Each had one of ten rings and wore it on the corresponding finger.
Toby ト ビ Toby aka Uchiha Obito う ち は オ ビ ト Uchiha Obito
- Homeland: Konohagakure
- Classification: Nukenin, Jinchūriki (former), Sensor
- Team: Team Minato, Akatsuki with Deidara (as Tobi).
Obito hails from a village hidden in foliage. As a child, he was a crybaby and was inferior in strength to his comrade Kakashi. But thanks to his mentor Madara and Zetsu was able to achieve success and become the leader of Akatsuki after Yahiko's death.
He is the owner of the Sharingan, who awakened with two tomoe. By combining Hashirama's DNA and Sharingan, he calmly maintained the Izanagi technique for ten minutes using only one eye. Thanks to Mangeky, the Sharingan was perfect for Kamui, teleporting his body parts and objects to another dimension.
The Rinnegan he extracted from Nagato allowed Tobi to use all of the Rikudo no Jutsu, all with just one eye. Obito Uchiha was proficient in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and Genjutsu. He had a huge supply of chakra, great intelligence and amazing speed. As the Jinchūriki Jubi, Tobi surpassed the beast in strength.
A shinobi with a very kind heart dreamed of making this world more beautiful (using the Tsuki no Me Keikaku technique). It was thanks to his goal that he was able to become the best and strongest shinobi, the leader not only of Akatsuki, but of the entire anime universe. Obito died during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He put himself in jeopardy to save Naruto and Kakashi.

He received his Rinnegan from Madara and was not the true owner of Divine power. As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato quickly took possession of these eyes and used them as his own. At the age of 10, he mastered all five chakra elements. Nagato would teach any Jutsu that Master Jiraiya showed him.
Obito named Nagato Sanninme no Rikudo ("The Third of the Six Paths"), and the inhabitants of Amegakure exalted him as a God. This shinobi, with the help of Gedo, remotely controlled six Pains and raised the dead. Nagato was able to watch everyone in the village through the rain, had good sensor abilities, powerful chakra, and many other amazing skills that make him the strongest of Akatsuki. Pain died after using the revitalizing technique (Gedo: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu) on the inhabitants of Konoha.

Itachi is the genius of his clan. He became an international assassin and joined Akatsuki after single-handedly annihilating his entire clan except his younger brother.
Itachi was admitted to the Anbu at the age of eleven, and at the age of thirteen was appointed captain. Rumor has it that this ninja never fought with all his strength. He did not like killing people, he incapacitated his opponent, while leaving him alive. Itachi is second to none in genjutsu. With his Sharingan, he is able to turn the illusions of others against them.
Mangeky Sharingan:
- with his left eye used Tsukuyomi, an illusion where Itachi could torture his opponent for many hours, but in reality this moment took a second;
- with his right eye he used Amaterasu - a black flame that burned everything in its path.
Itachi, thanks to his eyes, had perfect protection. Susano Uchiha had a shield that could repel any attack, as well as a single spiritual sword that sealed everything that he pierced.
Uchiha Itachi knew two of his clan's strongest forbidden techniques: Izanami and Izanagi. The power of his eyes and the greatest intelligence made Itachi one of the strongest shinobi of all time. The Uchiha died in battle against his brother Sasuke.

- Team: Seven Swordsmen Kirigakure, Akatsuki with Uchiha Itachi.
Kisame is a Hidden Mist monster originally from Kirigakure. Prior to joining Akatsuki, this shinobi was a member of the Seven Swordsmen of the Blood Mist. Hoshigaki killed his boss, took his sword and joined the Akatsuki organization, thanks to Tobi's beliefs about "true peace." In the organization, Kisame was paired with Uchiha Itachi. He wielded an unusual sword Samehada, because of which Kisame was nicknamed "Bijuu without a tail."
A huge smart sword could absorb the enemy's chakra and choose its owner. All of Kisame's techniques are related to water. He is easily able to heal himself and replenish his chakra reserves by merging with Samehada. Kisame was able to create a huge number of sharks, which not only fought, but also transmitted information over long distances.

By combining the elements of earth and lightning, Deidara could create explosive techniques. On his palms and chest there are mouths that absorbed the explosive clay, after which various forms were formed with the help of chakra. The ninja used the right seals, after which his figures exploded when and where needed. He is a sadistic demolitionist as he blew up his enemies in the most brutal ways. Deidara alone captured Gaara, who was the one-tailed jinchūriki. The most important thing for Deidara was the art of explosions.
C4 is a technique that Deidara devised to counter the forces of Sharingan and Genjutsu. Using his mouth, he created a huge figure in the form of himself. When it burst, it disintegrated into microbombs. Through the respiratory tract, the bombs fell into all living things and exploded, turning the victims into dust.
C0 or "Perfect Art" - Deidara's suicidal technique, which he used in the battle against Sasuke. Everything within a radius of ten kilometers was destroyed. It was after using this technique that Deidara died and Sasuke survived by summoning Mandu.

He turned himself into a doll and believed that art should be eternal. The mastery of the puppeteer was that Sasori was the only one who could control 100 dolls at the same time.
Sasori founded Hitokugutsu, a forbidden technique that creates puppets from human corpses. They are more versatile than standard dolls.

Hidan put a curse on the enemy and tied his body to his. Pierced his heart, the enemy died, and Hidan received the greatest pleasure from the pain. But this is in rare cases, most often Hidan mocked his opponent for a long time before taking his life. It was with the technique of Jujutsu Shiji Hyoketsu that Hidan defeated Asuma Sarutobi.

Konan 小 南 Konan
- Homeland: Amegakure
- Classification: Sensor, Head of Village
- Team: Three Orphans from Amegakure, Akatsuki with Pain
Since childhood, Konan has been in a team with Nagato and Yahiko, orphans who were taught by Jiraiya during the Third Shinobi War. This kunoichi was one of the founders of the Akatsuki organization. She had a blood restriction, which gave her the ability not only to turn her body into paper, but also to any weapon, changing its shape and density. Conan has an innate talent for origami. This girl is able to make crafts out of paper in the form of butterflies, which served her as intelligence and could overcome long distances.
Konan could use four natural properties of the chakra. The only girl in the organization. Her strongest technique, which she used against Toby, is the "God Personality Paper Technique." Konan created a huge ocean of explosive seals that exploded within ten minutes. In the battle with Toby, she showed her best techniques and skills, but still was defeated. After using the Uchiha, Konan's Izanagi technique lost her vigilance and her enemy stabbed her in the back, thereby delivering a fatal blow.
Kuro Zetsu 黒 ・ ゼ ツ Kuro Zetsu
- Classification: Sensor, Jinchuuriki (former)
- Team: Akatsuki with Shiro Zetsu
Represents 2 personalities:
- the white Zetsu was artificially created from Hashirama's cells with the help of Gedo Mazo and was a failed experiment by Madara Uchiha;
- Black Zetsu is created from the will of Kaguya.
During World War IV, when Kaguya rebelled, Zetsu confessed that he was her third son. For many centuries he planned events that greatly influenced the shinobi world: provoking Indra, pretending to be Madara's will, after merging with Shiro Zetsu, he became a member of Akatsuki (known as Zetsu). This is a small part of what Kuro did to achieve his goal.
The Zetsu's ability to pass through solids, to be undetected, and telepathy were all perfect for spying and spying on an organization. Kuro was adept at using five Seishitsuhenkas, including Inton and Yoton. These are all the insidious manipulations of Zetsu over the centuries, from which many generations have suffered, and all in order to return Princess Kaguya. Zetsu is a unique personality who was able to outwit all the leaders of the organization and Madara himself in order to achieve his personal goal with the help of Akatsuki. Kuro was sealed alongside his mother by the ninja Naruto and Sasuke.
Other famous shinobi participated in the organization, whose techniques are unusual, and whose strength and chakra had no boundaries.
In addition to the main members of the organization, Akatsuki had many allies located in many countries. Almost all of them were associated with specific members instead of the entire organization as a whole.
Only the strongest ninja from Akatsuki made it to our top. Able shinobi of all time, whose strength can be argued endlessly.
