Suigetsu Hozuki (鬼灯 水月, Hōzuki Suigetsu?), a former test subject of Orochimaru, is the first character to be recruited for Hawk. He is not afraid to speak his mind and always does as he pleases. When he is first introduced this results in frequent clashes with Hawk's leader, Sasuke Uchiha, but he later comes to accept Sasuke's position and even put himself in harm's way to protect him.[107] Suigetsu is able to reduce himself to liquid form and return to bodily form at will. Although this gives him an easy way to avoid physical attacks, it also makes him very susceptible to electricity. In addition, upon reforming himself, Suigetsu can change the size of his limbs, proportionally increasing his strength in the process.[108] Sometime before being introduced, Suigetsu trained to be one of Kirigakure's Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, an organization of particularly violent swordsmen. Having been unable to become a member, Suigetsu has begun collecting all of the swords of the Seven Swordsmen for himself instead. To this end, he retrieves Zabuza Momochi's giant sword, Kubikiri Bōchō, soon after joining the group, and hopes to be able to take Kisame Hoshigaki's Samehada by working with Sasuke...Read More...

Hawk (鷹, Taka?) is a group formed by Sasuke Uchiha that consists of Orochimaru's former subordinates. When first formed it goes by the name "Snake" (蛇, Hebi?), with its mission being to find and kill Sasuke's brother, Itachi Uchiha, to avenge the latter's slaughter of the Uchiha clan.[100] After Itachi's death and Sasuke's discovery that the Uchiha were wiped out under the orders of Konohagakure, Sasuke renames their group "Hawk" and changes its mission to the destruction of Konoha. In the meantime, Sasuke has agreed to work with Akatsuki to help them capture the eight-tailed beast; the members of Hawk are later seen wearing Akatsuki cloaks to signify this...Read More...

Madara Uchiha (うちは マダラ, Uchiha Madara?) is the founder of Akatsuki and the first possessor of the Mangekyo Sharingan, a rare form of the eye condition unique to the Uchiha. Though it gave him the strength needed to take control of the Uchiha clan, overuse of the Mangekyo Sharingan left him blind, and it was only by taking his own brother's eyes that he was able to regain his sight.[48] Madara eventually banded together with Hashirama Senju to create Konohagakure. The two founders disagreed on who should lead their new village and after a momentous battle between the two it was believed that Madara had died.[91] In later years the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox attacked Konoha, an act Itachi Uchiha states to have been Madara's doing, though Madara denies it. Once the fox was defeated by Minato Namikaze, Madara infiltrated Konoha in secret, trained Itachi, and subsequently assisted him in assassinating the Uchiha clan.[92] Kisame Hoshigaki, upon seeing his face, recognizes him as the Mizukage.

Konan (小南, Konan?) is the partner of the Akatsuki leader, Pain, and the only female ninja in Akatsuki. She was orphaned as a child by one of Amegakure's many wars, forcing her to fend for herself until being found by Jiraiya. Jiraiya trained Konan to take advantage of her natural talent with origami, and as a result paper is a key component in her battle style.[86] Konan can divide her body into countless numbers of paper sheets, which she controls and reshapes remotely to scout out an area or form weapons for attack. She can even form wings that mirror her title as "God's Angel" amongst the villagers of Amegakure, as she often carries out the will of "God" (Pain). Her abilities are constrained while wet, as paper clings to itself and loses its stiffness...Read More...

Pain (ペイン, Pein?) is the leader of Akatsuki, the partner of Konan, and current ruler of Amegakure, having overthrown the previous government and attained a god-like status amongst its citizens.[84] Pain appears in the form of six entirely different bodies that share the same mind, collectively known as The Six Paths of Pain (ペイン六道, Pein Rikudō?) and individually named after one of the six Buddhist paths of reincarnation. The only common physical characteristics amongst them are their orange hair color, a number of body piercings, and the Rinnegan (輪廻眼, Rinnegan? lit. "Samsara Eye").[85] The Rinnegan, a unique eye technique characterized by a number of concentric circles around the pupil, allows the wielder to utilize any ninja ability.[86] Pain uses it to share visual information amongst all six bodies, or "Paths", giving them the ability to coordinate offense and defense as if they were a single entity. Each Path possesses a unique skill. For instance, the Animal Path can summon a wide array of creatures, and the Preta Path is able to devour attacks as a form of defense.[87]

Kakuzu (角都, Kakuzu?) is the partner of Hidan and a former ninja of Takigakure, the Village Hidden in a Waterfall, Kakuzu is motivated by greed and joins the Akatsuki to seek out valuable bounties. However, his very lust for money led Kakuzu to dislike having a partner and eventually killing whoever he is partnered with in a fit of rage, being paired up with the immortal Hidan as a result.[81] Kakuzu's body is composed of large amounts of black threads, allowing him to sew things (such as Hidan's dismembered body parts) back together. The threads are also capable of piercing flesh, which Kakuzu uses to remove the still-beating hearts of his opponents for his personal use while executing a forbidden Jutsu called Jiongu (地怨虞, Jiongu?) to integrate their organs into his body to cheat death and extend his life indefinitely.[77]. He claims he has lived since the time of Hashirama Senju, Konoha's first hokage. He can store up to four spare hearts in animal masks that are sewn to his back. The masks can be detached during combat situations to shoot elemental blasts at his opponents, and can quickly be recalled to his body if he needs their heart.[82] Kakuzu's hearts are systematically destroyed soon after his introduction by a group of Konohagakure ninja. After Naruto Uzumaki leaves his final heart on the brink of failure, Kakuzu is easily finished off by Kakashi Hatake.[83] In the Japanese anime, Kakuzu's seiyū is Takaya Hashi.

Hidan (飛段, Hidan?) is the immortal, foul-mouthed partner of Kakuzu and a former ninja of Yugakure, the Village Hidden in the Steam.[77] He is a member of the Jashin (ジャシン, Jashin? lit. "evil god") religion, a religion that worships a deity of the same name and where anything less than death and utter destruction is considered a sin.[78] His religion's experimentations have led to the creation of his unique abilities; by consuming an opponent's blood and then drawing Jashin's triangular-design on the ground, Hidan can create a voodoo doll-like link with his opponent. Once this link is created, any damage done to Hidan's body is reflected on his opponent, allowing him to kill them by giving himself fatal injuries. Because he is immortal, Hidan is not impaired while doing this, instead finding pleasure in the pain it causes him.[79] After Hidan uses this ability to kill Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara fights him to avenge his teacher. Their battle culminates in Hidan being blown up, and Shikamaru buries his still-speaking remains in a place Akatsuki will never be able to reach.[80] As such, Hidan is no longer considered a member by the rest of Akatsuki.[47] In the Japanese anime, Hidan's seiyū is Masaki Terasoma...Read More...

Zetsu (ゼツ, Zetsu?) is the only member of Akatsuki to regularly act without a partner. This is in part a result of his ability to merge with any object and quickly travel to a new location, something that few other ninja are capable of. Because of this ability Zetsu serves a variety of different positions in Akatsuki, such as a spy that observes and reports on battles of interest or a lookout during Akatsuki's meetings.[74] Being cannibalistic, he is often sent to dispose of bodies Akatsuki does not want found, mirroring the large venus flytrap that envelops his body.[75] Zetsu's body is split into two different colors, his right side being black and his left being white. Similarly, the two sides have their own personalities and knowledge bases, frequently leading to discussions and arguments between the two.[53] The black half speaks in katakana in the Japanese manga, and white speaks kanji and kana. In the Japanese anime, Zetsu's seiyū is Nobuo Tobita,[76] and in the English adaptation, Zetsu has two voice actors: the black half is voiced by Michael Sorich and the white half is voiced by Brian Beacock...Read More...
