"Pink." Said Sakuras sweetly. Itachi seemed a bit annyoyed, and placed is hand on Sakura's shoulder. Sakura looked to Jaxx with a small smiled on her face.
"She is a rare breed." Itachi said lowly.
Sakura smiled, and beamed with a certain glow. She was glad thats she was stronger than before, and glad that she made Itachi proud. It was odd, but she felt that she belonged with Itachi...Strange, yet she urged to see Sauske once more and hold him the way she did 2 years ago.
Zaki led Sakura back into the strange door. It closed behinde them. Sakura for some strange reason thought of Naruto at that moment...She felt that he was up to no good again, she the same awkwardness of Kakashi sensei.
She smiled, thinking of what the to where up to, but she had no time to dwell on the past. Itachi still gripped her shoulder as to protecrt his new found comrade from the other perverts in this strange palce. Seeming as if her was marking her.
She looked around to see the Guild, followeing Itachi, Zaki, and Jaxx toward a table in the corner.
"I wonder what those three are up to..." she said reffering to Sauske Naruto and Kakashi.

Kento emrged from the darkness with his cloak seeming to emit its own darkness. " Now Now Brother we cant get out of hand" he said smirking. " We cant spill blood like in War anymore" he said looking at Sakura. Sakura looked back noticing he wore a mask just like Kakashi. Kento walked closer to the table the group decded to reside at. " Your such a softy jaxx" he said sighing. " If i was you they'd be dead" he smirked looking at both his dia katanas.
Zaki smirked, " I dont follow that old hag anymore so i have no reason to help her, she was good for the training after that shes only a obstacle in my way" he said grabbing the kunai and ripping it out. " Twice, i liked watching that Island sink" he said jumping up and smirking.
Itachi sighed, " My affairs had been with that woman but at the current moment, im busy" he said looking at Sakura. " As you see" he said smirking wider. " I have what i want, there no reason for me to help anyone" he moaned looking as other guild members looked at Zaki. " ITs not worth the bounty boys" he sighed. " Isnt your bounty over 1 billion Zen now Zaki" he said looking at the boy as he nooded. " I thought so, well kepp your head up" he smirked refering dont let your gaurd down.
Naruto and Sasuke were sent rocketing into the sky, " This sucks, at least we saw his face" Naruto smirked. Sasuke nooded, " Ya,I finally understand him now"they said as they collided into the forest. " Well Sasuke.....What happens now" Naruto said standing back up. " Survial of the Fitest" Sasuke said walking away from the village. Naruto stood there, " She still loves you you know" he said slighly angred himself, since hes always wanted Sakura. " I know, but emotions can make someone strong and someone weak, thus you elimate your weak ones, Love is a weakness" Sasuke said howling at Naruto. " ITs also a Strength" he said holding up his fist.
" Lets do it" they both nodded darting away from the village..
***Naruto and Sasuke have left Kohana now***

Ziek laided on top of his apartment as he started out into space."I wonder what the ruccus is?"he asked as he sat up.He looked around."whose that?"he asked as he saw Zaki walk away.
"None of your concern!"said a voice.
"Whose there?'asked Ziek as he looked around.His blood was almost frozen by that voice.
"I am Tobi and I am one of the akatsui."said a man with an orange mask."I have a proposition for you.'he said in a cold voice that was almost musical.
"Whats that?"asked Zieka she jumped up and streched.
"Oh nothing we would like you on our side thats all." he said his voice sounded almost playful.
"If I refuse?"asked Ziek as he though about Tobi.
"Nothing much...except you will be dead."he said throwing a shuriken.
'I do not think so!'said a strange yet familiar voice."I Rock Lee will not let you take this child."As those words were spoken Rock Lee apeared in all his bushy browed wonder.
"Woah its him."
"I wasn't told to fight you.'said Tobi as he walked off the roof."Some other time kid."he said as he jumped up and away.
"Young shinobi I would like you to help me find someone."
"Who?"
"A woman named Sakura.'
"Uh i think I heard someone by that name going to the training grounds."
"Off we go.'said rock Lee grabing Ziek.In a matter of seconds Sakura was in sight.
"Sakura-chan!"shouted Lee as he jumped in front of her just catching them before they left.

Sakura smiled widly and gave a small giggle. This Jaxx was such a gentleman. She hadnt remember the last time she was treated this way. Not Sauske or Naruto gave her such a vibe as Itachi and Jaxx did now. Itachi smiled down to her once more and gripped her shoulder gently. Sakura blushed at that, feeling the same sense of "Belonging". This was nice...Yet she couldnt help but feel a bit guilty. Somehow her hatred for Itachi long ago now turned into a sort of understanding, and urge...Now more than ever she questioned the human emotion "Love".
What was Love, Really? And what was Hate? Where could you cross the difference between the two? And what was that empty void in between? She had "Loved" Sauske for so long, that it felt odd to feel the same excitement and desire for another...For Itachi. She had made Naruto so insecure over the years that she wondered if he "Hated" her...And as for Sauske...She loved him for the many reasons before...His talent and desire to melt the pain...Yet she "Hated" him for leaving her, and pushing her away when he needed help most...And Rock Lee...Whom she had forgotten till now...Did he Hate her as well? Whatever the case, she was twisted in confusion.
"Heh. Its no big deal..." Sakura said sweetly as Jaxx bowed.
Jaxx smiled and stood up. Sakura stood close to Itachi...Not minding him at all clingig to her...It felt noce in a way. They all began to walk, arriving at the Kohano gates, when a sudden voice stopped them.
"Sakura-chan!!"
Sakura turned her head slightly, When Rock Lee lifted her from her feet, snatching her from Itachi's grasp, and spinning her around happily. Sakura seemed stunned, suprised as he put her down and smiled. Itachi seemed rather annoyed.
"Lee?" she asked dunbfounded. "Is that you?"

Jaxx blinked and looked at the nrewcomerthen reflected on his thoughts up till then 'why would miss haruno join itachi? and why would my nakama betray sis? it makes no sense...' he thought as he ;ooked at itachi and asked in coufusion "so you betray yopur promise to the women that trained you tachi? I may not understand the world but I know of gradituse...sis tells me the stories all the time but.. I never belived you to be this way...especially after the last time i saw you, she even bestowed you with flames highest marking...it makes me wonder...why are you doing this to her?" He said saddly and looked at Zaki in counfusion "well...i cannot change your reply...just don't blame me if she comes next" he said solemly and bowed to sakura, making a single bouque of roses appear, the same color of her hair "for you madam haruno, i may nopt understand their intentions...but yours seem to have a solem nobility within them" he said and whispered into her ear "if you wish to save the sanin...please find me..I may be of some assistance" he said winking and moving back once she took the bouque "brother..we must depart...sister will be quite vexxed with us if we stay any longer and we are keeping hyuuga-san waiting..." he said and disappeared into a puff of flame , with his voice echoing arounfd the arena "til we meet again ...miss Haruno and please use my present if you need assistance" he said as within the bouque was a small red bokken end with a red feather tied to it along with a note sayig "you will know how to use it when the time comes" written in romaji on th e flower petals

Kento moaned, " So little bloodshed today" he said on the verge of crying. " Not like the old days" he began to laugh. " Yes brother, but i didnt paymuch attention to sister" he said chuckling a bit more. " fine, you can be all nice and romantic but when it comes time to survival you'll be the one to die brother, yet you'll all the guests at your wake." he sighed. " Quite an unfair world" he said walking out of the building and sitting against it, he prefered the rain anyways.
'Good, Evil, Hate, Love, Win, Lose, all words that have a dramatic opposite' he thought looking into the moonfull night. " Brother.......dont let the curse bestow you" he said grabbing his shoulder and looking at the unique curse mark. " Mayube id e different withou these stolen eyes" he said pulling donw his mask to reveal an Sharnigan eye, " I must look like Kakashi" he laughed, " But can he do this" he said doing hand signs. " Byukkagun" he yellled out as his other eye transfromed. " With one of each of the strongest bloodlines along with my own im the most powerful thing alive" he said as Orichamru smiled at him. " So how is she doing" he smirked refering to Sakura. " None of your business, wait she belongs to you doesnt she, well id let you know that hold wont stay strong with my brother here" he smirked
" I know, thats why you'll understand soon" he said merely walking past him and Zeik came up folowing after Rock-Lee. " Kid i wouldnt go in there" he noted stopping Zeik from following. " Thats the Atuski guild, a group of Rengeades that can kick your ass" he smirked looking at the boy.
Zaki smiled, " You havent changed at all my little Hinata" he smirked leaving the building to bump into Zeik. " Well if it isnt Zeik, give her there" he smiled throwing out his hand awaitng a handshake. ' I wonder how the Sensei he gots been training him' he thought smiling.
Itachi simply moaned, " Is that all" he said looking at Jaxx.

"Who'se the queer?"asked Ziek as he pointed at Itachi."Are you like Emo or something?"he asked as he shook Zaki's hand."And is that Sakura?"Ziek had so many questions."Hey Emo dude do you know Tobi you dress just like him."
"I'm so happy I found you!"shouted Lee as he continued to spin Sakura.He set her down gently."Young Shinobi do not mock these people they are very dangerous."he said as he looked towards Itachi."
"why are they like uber powerful?"asked Ziek as he exaimned the people around him.He only recognized a few."Oh yeah if the are uber powerful maybe they can awnser a question.Okay you with the blond hair.Do you know who Naruto Uzamiki is?I really wanna know my teacher told me he lead a rebilion on some bridge that they named after him."
"I will not even reply."said Lee as he looked toward Itachi.'Sakura-chan why are you with him?"he asked her."Has he tried to hurt you?"he asked with anger in his eyes.

Sakura didn’t answer. She hadn’t seen Lee in a while…He wouldn’t understand what was going on. Sakura stepped back, and eased in Itachi’s grip once more. She smiled gently as she looked to Itachi. How could he or anyone else possibly understand?
“Lee…” She said barring into his eyes with her gentle smile. “This is Itachi…My Sensei.” She said in a sort of proud voice. Lee seemed confused. His anger rose as Itachi’s smile grew wider. He placed his hand on her shoulder once more and loved the fact that Bushy Brow was taken over with rage. He smiled. Sakura blushed slightly and looked to the dark sky.
A silence fell on them. “Sakura…I’m touched. However I’m afraid it’s a bit more complicated than the average, Student teacher, Relationship.” Itachi said in a palyfull tone.
It only made Lee stir up. “I see…In any case,Lee please forgive me…But we really have to get going.” she said changing the subject as not to have Lee or Itachi provoked.
There was a cold chill in the air…Something was amiss… Lee starred awkwardly. “Sakura…” he said sensing that she was now different…Way different than before.

osts Kento smirked listening to Zeik burst in, ' Kids got guts to walk in there, if hes not dead by the time he comes back out, i might just help him' he said there unsheathing his blades. " these blades bring back so many memories" he said looking into the blades reflection as memories of his past squad flashed through him. " Jaxx has always been slow, i sware id have better luck moving along with a turtle" he laughed but quickly turned back to a frown.
Zaki smiled at Zeik comment and looked at his own cloak, " Im the elventh, Despite being comprised of only ten members, each member of Akatsuki is an S-Class criminal and feared for their tremendous powers and ruthless nature. Together, they form what is arguably the most powerful organization.
The exact criteria for admission to the group are unknown, but extraordinary fighting ability and deadly ruthlessness seem to be prerequisites. Unique traits (genetic or otherwise) also seem to be a common factor among its members. Two of the more prominent members so far, Itachi and Sasori, both undertook some sort of challenging task at the time of their entering the group. Sasori mentions, during his fight with Chiyo and Sakura, that "[he] hadn't had this much difficulty since joining Akatsuki." Itachi was responsible for murdering his whole clan (save for his little brother, Sasuke) around the time he is believed to have entered, though it cannot be said for certain that the two events were linked.
Akatsuki's motives are still obscure, and one of the more interesting unresolved questions Naruto poses; they show great interest in the powers of the biju (tailed beasts) and the leader has obliquely referred to their ultimate goal as "obtaining the Kyubi... and everything else." It is unknown what they intend to do with them once they attain all nine.
Akatsuki has confirmed that they possess at least three biju, one being Shukaku and the other two unknown. They have also kidnapped Yugito, the Jinchuriki of Nekomata, but they have not extracted her biju at this time. Recently, Deidara and Tobi have captured the Sanbi.
Akatsuki members appear to always work in teams of two. Teams are built to complement each other's abilities and talents to create a formidable duo. Each member thus far has shown complete loyalty to the other and to their mysterious leader, but nothing has been shown to indicate that they consider each other comrades. For example, Sasori's death by itself does not seem to bother the other members, but rather the fact that someone was able to kill him. Deidara is then partnered with Tobi, but can't stand Tobi's attitude. There are a number of moments where Deidara tries to harm Tobi in some way, though it's almost always portrayed in a humorous way. Additionally, while Hidan and Kakuzu make a good team, they clearly are not fond of one another.
The teams are:
Itachi and Kisame Hidan and Kakuzu Deidara and Tobi (formerly Sasori) Sasori and Orochimaru (before his defection) And me with no one else..
Due to Orochimaru's defection their numbers are now uneven, so one or more members appear to be working alone. Currently, Zetsu, the leader, and the unnamed member are not known to be on any team; it is unknown which of these three form the last team, if they all work alone, or if they form a team of three.
We do Biju extraction Theres a biju-sealing statue.Whenever an Akatsuki member captures a jinchuriki, it is taken to their lair. Once there, the Akatsuki leader summons a giant statue of a humanoid monster. The statue seems to symbolize restriction or sealing. The creature's hands are handcuffed, its eyes are blindfolded, and a bit in its mouth, which falls out when the Akatsuki members are sealing a biju. On the creature's blindfold are nine closed eyes, each corresponding to one of the nine biju. Once summoned, the jinchuriki is placed in front of the statue while each Akatsuki member stands on the finger that corresponds to his or her specific ring. The members then perform Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals to draw the spirit of the biju into the statue. Once the biju's spirit is sealed, all the eyes open, and the pupil of the eye that corresponds to the biju appears, indicating that it has been successfully sealed. It's unknown if the same process is used on an unsealed biju, or if the statue serves any other purpose than to contain the captured biju.
All Akatsuki members don't need to be physically present for the statue to activate. Akatsuki members can project an image of themselves to the statue. This techinque was shown in the anime once during the cave meeting, where the leader's image can be seen shaking like a hologram.
We each have are own Ring.... Each Akatsuki member wears a single, unique ring, and no two members wear a ring on the same finger. Each member wears their ring on the same finger as the spot they occupy on the giant statue. In total, there are ten rings, but Akatsuki only possesses nine; Orochimaru kept the tenth after he defected from the organization. It still rests on the little finger of his severed left hand from his original body. The rings seem to have some special significance: Tobi believed that he could become a member after finding Sasori's ring, and although Zetsu claims it's not as easy as that, Tobi does become a member. Deidara reinforces the significance of the rings after losing both his arms by expressing more concern for finding the arm with his ring, rather than finding the arm itself. Each ring bears a unique symbol, the first kanji of its name.
A diagram of where each Akatsuki member stands on the statue.The various rings are:
Rei - zero/nothing/overflow: worn by the Akatsuki leader. Seiry¨± - Green/blue Dragon - God of East and Spring: worn by Deidara. Byakko - White Tiger - God of West and Autumn: worn by the unnamed member. Suzaku - H¨¨ (literally "Red Sparrow") - God of South and Summer: worn by Itachi. , Genbu - Tortoise (literally "Mysterious Warrior") - God of North and Winter: worn by Zetsu. Zetsu's ring actually has the kanji º¥ (Kai, boar) instead of Ðþ (Gen, mysteriousness). The two kanji are somewhat similar in appearance though, which suggests an error by either the artist or the reader/translator. , K¨±chin - The Void: formerly worn by Orochimaru and still in his possession. , Nanju - Southern Star: worn by Kisame. , Hokuto - Northern Star: worn by Kakuzu. , Santai - The Three Levels: worn by Hidan. , Gyokunyo - The Virgin: currently worn by Tobi, formerly worn by Sasori.
Our Clothing and appearance..... Common Akatsuki clothing. Akatsuki members dress in similar clothing: a long, dark cloak bearing red clouds and a red interior with a chin-high collar. It is implied that the cloak helps conceal their actions, especially hand-seals, giving them an edge in battle. All members also wear purple nail polish on their fingernails (see ring image above). Large conical straw hats with small spike-like bells hanging from them also seem to be part of their outfit, but they seem to discard them after being discovered. This seems to be an optional piece of the Akatsuki outfit, likely to further disguise their identities.
[edit] Forehead protectors The members of Akatsuki continue to wear forehead protectors from their former home villages, but scratch a line across the symbol of their village. This is done to indicate that their ties to the village have been severed and they no longer give any allegiance to their former homes. Currently, the Akatsuki leader, Tobi, and the one unnamed Akatsuki member have not been shown wearing forehead protectors, so it is unknown where they are originally from. Additionally, Hidan's forehead protector, while clearly visible, features a symbol not corresponding with any known village, so his place of origin is a mystery as well.
Members Akatsuki originally had ten members, but following the defection of Orochimaru they are currently at nine. Only one member, Sasori, has died, and Tobi, a former subordinate of the group, quickly assumed his position. Orochimaru, however, has yet to be replaced, despite his departure several years before the initial introduction of the group; this is either because Orochimaru took his supposedly irreplaceable Akatsuki ring with him when he left or they haven't found a worthy replacement. Given that Tobi was worthy enough to be accepted almost immediately after Sasori's death, the former would seem to be the case.
Though all of the members have been shown, two have yet to be named. The first has had some dialogue and been attributed to being the leader, while the identity of the other remains a complete mystery. In the anime, only Kisame and Itachi have been named, though Zetsu made an appearance at the end of the battle between Naruto and Sasuke.
[edit] Akatsuki leader The Akatsuki leader in the mangaAge: ? Status: Active Eye color: ? Hair color: Ginger (brownish orange) Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood type: ? Ring: Áã (Rei, zero/nothing/overflow) Position: Right thumb Partner: None or not yet introduced Not much is known about this person except that he acts like the leader of Akatsuki; he is the only one to have given orders to other members and none have ever challenged or opposed him. He is also the one to initiate and supervise the jutsu that forcibly brings a biju out of a captured Jinchuriki.
Deidara DeidaraAge: ? Status: Active Eye color: Blue Hair color: Blond Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood type: ? Ring: Çà (Sei, blue/green) Position: Right index finger Partner: Tobi, formerly Sasori Unique traits: Specialist in clay based jutsu, clay manipulation, mouths in palms of hands, scope in left eye socket A missing-nin from Iwagakure, Deidara (¥Ç¥¤¥À¥é, Deidara?) is one half of the Akatsuki duo that comes to Sunagakure to kidnap Gaara. A fancy and skillful fighter, with special mouths in the palm of each hand, he is able to manipulate clay into many shapes, including a flight-capable clay bird that can support him and a huge bomb capable of leveling a village without the use of exploding tags. He uses a scope on his left eye to zoom in on objects when he is high in the air on his clay bird. Deidara was originally teamed with Sasori, whom Deidara refers to as Master Sasori (¥µ¥½¥ê¤Îµ©ÄÇ, Sasori no Danna?). This is probably because Deidara had a lot of respect for his fellow artist because Sasori is, as Deidara himself admits, a lot stronger. Despite that, Deidara still argued a lot with Sasori. They often argue about what art is, Deidara holding that art is something that is transient, departing quickly, whereas Sasori believed that good art is immortal, a thing that lasts a long time. This reflects their individual natures (Deidara makes clay sculptures that explode, Sasori makes long-lasting puppets out of humans). Deidara outwardly seems to respect Sasori's beliefs, but couldn't resist getting a final jab in after Sasori's death: "Like anything that is left for the future as a thing of eternal beauty... He got killed straight off!".
During his fight with Gaara, his left arm was mangled by Gaara's Desert Coffin, but he still managed to defeat the new Kazekage when he threatened Sunagakure itself. Deidara remarked after winning that it was typical of a Kage to save their village over their own life.
Deidara lost his right arm to Kakashi Hatake when Kakashi used his Mangekyo Sharingan against him. As a last resort (and in keeping with his favorite art form), Deidara blew up one of his clones in an attempt to kill everyone else around him after absorbing some of his clay though his mouth. However, his clone was teleported away from the scene by Kakashi. Deidara later returned after burrowing away from the scene and looked for his right arm and Akatsuki ring that he lost due to Kakashi's attack. Zetsu and Tobi both expressed surprise that Deidara was still alive when they found him after discovering that Sasori was killed.
Deidara later returns with his right arm re-attached, and Tobi as his new partner. Deidara gets impatient with Tobi fairly easily, since Tobi rarely pays attention to what he is saying. Tobi also tends to take the credit for their work, despite whatever Deidara did. After they capture the Sanbi he lectures Tobi about being too overconfident. He becomes greatly annoyed when he discovers that Tobi has fallen asleep and proceeds to "wake him up" by blasting Tobi with his exploding clay.
Okamoto's famous work, the "Sun Pagoda".
Hidan HidanAge: ? Status: Active Eye color: Violet Hair color: Silver Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood Type: ? Ring: Èý (San, three) Position: Left index finger Partner: Kakuzu Unique traits: Wields a three-bladed scythe, self-described slowest attack speed of any Akatsuki member, said to be "unkillable" Hidan (ïw¶Î, Hidan?), the self-proclaimed slowest-attacking member of Akatsuki, wields a three-bladed scythe that he can use as a throwing weapon while retaining control of it with a thick rope wrapped around his wrist. While Hidan's former village symbol has been seen, it does not belong to any known village in the Naruto world. He is partnered with Kakuzu since they two are uniquely suited to be partners, despite their obvious dislike of each other. As Kakuzu explains it, Hidan is apparently unable to die. Kakuzu mentions that in battle his rage tends to get the better of him and he kills anyone nearby, so Hidan is the one partner that he can't possibly get rid of. Hidan himself has indicated a desire to die, yet can't. An overtly religious individual, he refused to fight the Nibi without praying beforehand. He belongs to the Jashin ("Evil God" or "Evil Heart") religion, which commends slaughter. Anything less than total destruction is considered a sin. Because of this, having to capture the Nibi alive was not something he was happy about, especially after the battle began. Before a battle, Hidan prays to his chain of prayer beads, wishing for nothing less than a kill. After a battle, he does a prayer ceremony where he lays down on a seal and sticks a pike through his chest, during which his skin changes color for an unknown reason; this lasts for thirty minutes. Hidan owns a charm with an upside down triangle inscribed inside a circle that he carries on the chain of beads; the same symbol is used on the seal in his pike ritual.
On their last assignment Hidan and Kakuzu successfully captured the Nibi, though Hidan was not happy about leaving her alive (having pinned her hands to a wall with kunai). Zetsu eventually came to retrieve her while Hidan and Kakuzu left towards the Land of Fire. They invaded a temple in the Land of Fire to see if their next target was there. When they arrived, Hidan was already thinking about how it may be bad to invade a temple and kill monks, as it might be blasphemous and send him to hell. They didn't find their target, so they continued into the Land of Fire, bickering all the while. While waiting for Kakuzu outside of the bounty collector's building, he was ambushed by Asuma's group. Shikamaru used his Shadow Imitation Technique to capture Hidan, allowing Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane to stab him on both sides with giant kunai. He seems unfazed by the deadly attack, but does remark that it was painful.
Itachi Uchiha" he said pointing at Itachi "Itachi Uchiha Age: 20 Status: Active Eye color: Black, Red with Sharingan Hair color: Black Height: 175.2 cm2 Weight: 57.1 kg2 Birthday: June 9 Blood type: AB Registration #: 012110 Ring: Öì (Shu, scarlet/bloody) Position: Right ring finger Partner: Kisame Hoshigaki Seiyu: Hideo Ishikawa Unique traits: Mastery of the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan, extremely skilled with genjutsu Noted even within the Bingo Book (a list of powerful ninja who have been marked for assassination), Itachi Uchiha is an S-Class criminal and a Konohagakure missing-nin. He is currently partnered with Kisame to capture Naruto.
He graduated at the top of his Academy class at age 7, had mastered the Sharingan by age 8, became a Chunin at 10 and was previously an ANBU squad leader at the age of 13. He was, until recently, the only known living person who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. Itachi has told Sasuke that if Sasuke were to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan, the people able to use it will total three.
He left Konoha about five years prior to the setting of Naruto, after slaying his whole clan with the exception of Sasuke Uchiha, his little brother. At 11, even Orochimaru feared him. Orochimaru had planned to use Itachi as his next host, but Itachi had become too powerful for even Orochimaru to handle, which is why he turned his attention to Sasuke.
The reason Itachi killed everyone in his clan except for Sasuke remains unclear. When questioned by Sasuke, he replied, "To test my 'utsuwa'." In Japanese, 'utsuwa' (Æ÷) can mean "vessel," or "container," but it can also mean "ability," or "tool." Orochimaru uses this word to refer to the bodies he takes over with his Living Corpse Reincarnation. In this respect, Itachi's words can mean anything from him having a past connection with Orochimaru, to him simply wanting to test his own power, or to his plans to join Akatsuki and forsake past relations. To make matters even more ambiguous, the first person pronoun Itachi used can also be used as a vulgar second person pronoun, so he could also have meant that he wanted to test Sasuke's 'utsuwa,' although this is unlikely, given his previous remarks about his 'utsuwa'. In context, Itachi was more than likely referring to his own power. Itachi also briefly makes reference to some ultimate purpose behind the Uchiha clan, but what this is has yet to be revealed.
Itachi, especially after slaying his entire clan, appears aloof and nearly emotionless. While Sasuke's flashbacks reveal a somewhat more loving and personable brother, Itachi later implies that this too was all just an act: playing the part of the older brother all to test Sasuke's potential. Despite being the murderer of his entire clan, as well as his closest friend, Itachi does not appear to kill simply for the sake of it, but instead seems to use just enough force to achieve his goals. When Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi stood between him and the way to his goal (Naruto Uzumaki), he did not kill Kurenai when given the chance. Likewise, he could have easily killed Kakashi and Sasuke, but instead chose to torture them with his Mangekyo Sharingan so that they would witness his power. As it stands, the only way for one to avoid the Mangekyo Sharingan is to avoid eye contact, and focus on the feet or body, as mentioned by both Guy and Kakashi.

Kakuzu KakuzuAge: ? Status: Active Eye color: White iris, Black sclera Hair color: Unknown, wears a garment over his head. Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood Type: ? Ring: ±± (Hoku, north) Position: Left middle finger Partner: Hidan Unique traits: High physical strength
Kakuzu is Hidan's partner and a missing-nin from Takigakure, though he doesn't seem all that happy about the former position. He does not like Hidan's religion at all, believing the rituals associated with it to be a useless waste of time. The only reason he deals with it is because it can bring him money. Even with his dislike of Hidan, Kakuzu says that only Hidan can be his partner. Because of his violent temper, everyone else who has worked with him is dead, presumably having been killed by Kakuzu in his rage. Hidan is the perfect partner because of his apparent inability to die. Hidan mocks Kakuzu for this in their first appearance. Kakuzu is incredibly greed-driven, and will do just about anything to obtain money. He even refers to himself as the Treasurer of Akatsuki. Given his friendly relationship with a bounty officer, it would seem he collects bounties rather frequently, seemingly doing so during his missions. He is shown to have a great amount of physical strength, the use of which is somehow associated with a change in his skin color.
On their last assignment, he and Hidan successfully captured the Nibi. Afterwards, while looking at a map with various places marked off, Kakuzu mentions that the Land of Fire will be their next assignment. They invaded a temple in the Land of Fire to see if their next target was there. Kakuzu also took advantage of the fact that a monk with a bounty of thirty million ryo on his head was at the temple. When they arrived, Kakuzu was already thinking about cashing in the monk. In fact, they take a detour simply to turn the monk's body in after failing to locate their target.
Kisame Hoshigaki Kisame HoshigakiAge:31 Status: Active Eye color: White Hair color: Dark Blue Height: 195 cm2 Weight: 83.1 kg2 Birthday: March 18 Blood type: AB Ring: ÄÏ (Nan, south) Position: Left ring finger Partner: Itachi Uchiha Seiyu: Tomoyuki Dan Unique traits: Shark-like appearance, expert in water-based jutsu, large chakra supply, high physical strength and speed, Samehada (sentient, chakra-absorbing sword) Kisame Hoshigaki (¸ÉÊÁ¹íõo, Hoshigaki Kisame?), along with Itachi Uchiha, is part of the Akatsuki team assigned to capture Naruto Uzumaki. Their first attempt was shortly after the attack on Konoha by Orochimaru, but they were thwarted by Jiraiya. Itachi later explained that it wasn't the proper time to kidnap Naruto yet, and that Naruto could be captured at any time given his skill level. Kisame is quite shark-like in appearance, complete with blue skin and sharp teeth. Out of all the Akatsuki members, he is perhaps the most inhuman in terms of appearence, though Zetsu is arguably close, as well.
Kisame comes from Kirigakure. He is known as the Mysterious Person of the Hidden Mist (ìFëL¤ì¤Î¹ÖÈË, Kirigakure no Kaijin?). He is also one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist (ìF¤ÎÈ̵¶ÆßÈËÐ\, Kiri no Shinobigatana Shichinin Sh¨±?), seven powerful ninja who utilize large and unique swords. Zabuza Momochi and Raiga Kurosuki were also members.
Kisame's main weapon is named Samehada (õo¼¡, "Shark skin"), which is a sword of comparable size to Zabuza Momochi's zanbat¨. Unlike a regular sword, however, Samehada is covered in scales that shave instead of cut, much like a shark's skin (hence the name). Additionally, it has the ability to absorb any chakra around it, allowing Kisame to literally cut through his enemy's chakra. The amount that it can absorb is unclear. Finally, Samehada is a sentient weapon, and only allows Kisame to wield it. When Might Guy attempted to hold Samehada and use it against Kisame, it responded with a flurry of spikes from its hilt and found its way back to Kisame.
The amount of chakra Kisame possesses is apparently considered very large, even by Akatsuki's standards. Their leader commented on his amount of chakra; a Kisame body-double at 30% power, made with the leader's Shapeshifting Technique, had as much chakra as Naruto Uzumaki possessed while drawing on Kyubi's chakra when he fought Neji during the Chunin exams, an observation made by Neji Hyuga when he observed Kisame's body-double with his Byakugan.
Kisame has displayed astonishing speed comparable to that of Might Guy, and incredible physical strength topped only by the chakra-augmented strength of Tsunade. Like everyone seen from Kirigakure, Kisame uses water-based jutsu in combination with his powerful physical attacks. He has demonstrated that he does not need a water source nearby to perform water jutsu, an ability only demonstrated by the Second Hokage when Orochimaru resurrected him.
Despite his rather brutish appearance, Kisame speaks in a calm and polite manner compared to most of the other members of Akatsuki.
Tobi TobiAge: ? Status: Active Eye color: ? Hair color: Black Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood type: ? Ring: Óñ (Gyoku, jewel/ball/jade) Position: Left thumb Partner: Deidara Unique traits: Orange mask with single eye-hole covered in a swirl pattern Tobi (¥È¥Ó, Tobi?), formerly Zetsu's subordinate, became a full Akatsuki member after Sasori's demise. He now wears the same ring as Sasori, having recovered it after Sasori's death, and took his place as Deidara's partner. The two have recently defeated the Sanbi, though Tobi seems to do little to actually capture it. Unlike the majority of ninja thus far, Tobi has not been shown wearing a visible forehead protector, so his place of origin is unknown. His area of expertise also remains unclear, as he has never been shown fighting.
Tobi has a very formal and correct manner of speech. While his physical appearance remains a mystery, Zetsu has implied that he is relatively young when one side of him referred to Tobi as a "good kid". He respects Deidara, referring to him as Deidara-senpai. In contrast, however, Tobi seems to have an odd personality in comparison with other Akatsuki members. While most of the members are serious, if not somewhat argumentative when alone, Tobi is more carefree and goofy, much like Naruto. Though he respects Deidara, he also seems to easily annoy Deidara by taking credit for the capture of Sanbi. He claims that he beat it with a "one-hit KO jutsu", even though he just ran away from it at first, complaining that Kisame was more suited to capturing water creatures. Deidara used a clay fish to surprise it with an explosion as Tobi ran, but it is unclear if this marked the end of the battle. He also falls asleep while Deidara is speaking to him, resulting in Deidara giving him a stern "wake up call" in the form of his exploding clay.
Zetsu ZetsuAge: ? Status: Active Eye color: Yellow Hair color: Green Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood type: ? Ring: º¥ (Kai, boar) Position: Right little finger Partner: None or not yet introduced Unique traits: Venus-flytrap like extensions around body, dual personality, skin color split into white and black halves, cannibal The mysterious Zetsu (¥¼¥Ä, Zetsu?) is a missing-nin from Kusagakure. Not much is known about him, other than his allegiance to Akatsuki and his function as a spy. His head appears to be enveloped in a large venus flytrap. The right side of his face, and likely his body, is black in color while his left side is white in color. His pupil-less eyes and superior vision suggest that he may harbor something similar to the Byakugan or Ranmaru's kekkei genkai. He also has the ability to merge with the ground, trees, and other plants, allowing him to travel long distances fairly quickly. Akatsuki members have so far generally seemed to report to Zetsu as if he was a superior, though perhaps only because he is often acting directly on the instructions of the leader.
He seems to have a split personality, as the white half of his face speaks only in Katakana (which could indicate a robotic voice) while the black side uses Kanji and Kana. The two halves also seem to converse with each other, and occasionally differ in opinion, such as whether to allow Tobi to fill Sasori's place in Akatsuki.
In addition to his role as a spy, Zetsu appears to function as Akatsuki's hunter-nin. He was sent to dispose of the corpses of those used for the leader's Shapeshifting Technique, as well as recover the rings of Sasori and Deidara. He performs the former function by devouring the corpses, which fits with his "venus flytrap" theme.
Zetsu's first appearance was after the fight between Naruto and Sasuke at the end of the first arc, which he observed in secret. He was also responsible for warning Akatsuki of the positions of the approaching Team Kakashi and Team Guy during their extraction of Gaara's biju.
The leader dispatched Zetsu to recover Sasori and Deidara's Akatsuki rings since they were both expected to be killed. This highlights some significance in the rings, since Tobi takes Sasori's ring and asks Zetsu if he can join Akatsuki in Sasori's place. The human-sounding half of Zetsu scoffs at the idea, but the robotic half seems intrigued. Given that Tobi is now a member, it would seem the latter half won out.
Some time later, Zetsu appears before Hidan and Kakuzu after they have successfully defeated Yugito. He lets the pair head off on their next assignment, his parting words being, "I will take care of the Nibi." Before parting, Zetsu also admitted to Hidan and Kakuzu that he doesn't trust anyone but himself, which further suggests he does not have a partner.
Former members-
Orochimaru Orochimaru Status: Defected Ring: ¿Õ (K¨±, sky) Position: Left little finger Partner: Formerly Sasori Orochimaru was formerly a member of Akatsuki, where he worked as Sasori's partner. The circumstances behind his eventual defection from Akatsuki remain unclear. Orochimaru implies that he had planned to use Itachi as his next host, but notes Itachi had become too powerful for even him to handle, thus why he turned his attention to Sasuke. Why Itachi's superiority alone would necessitate his defection is unclear. Upon leaving, he kept his Akatsuki ring, which is currently still on the severed hand of his original body. The apparent special nature of his ring, his knowledge of their plans, and bad blood have led to him being the target of a number of Akatsuki plots, one of which involved a member of his retinue being a (eventually double) sleeper agent. Orochimaru intends to eliminate Akatsuki, as well; however, he is currently content to let Konoha deal with the threat Akatsuki poses. This is in the hope that they kill some of the remaining members for him.
Whatever their remaining connections are, Orochimaru and Akatsuki also seem to be working off similar timetables, as the three years it takes Orochimaru to prepare to take over Sasuke's body seem to coincide with Akatsuki's plans for capturing more biju.
Sasori SasoriAge: ? Status: Deceased Eye color: Red Hair color: Red Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood type: ? Ring: Óñ (Gyoku, jewel/ball/jade) Position: Left thumb Partner: Formerly Deidara, Orochimaru before that Unique traits: Specialist in ninja puppetry, artificial puppet body, ability to turn living people into puppets, artistic preference of long-lasting works.
Sasori, Deidara's former partner, is a missing-nin from Sunagakure. He is known as Sasori of the Red Sand ( Akasuna no Sasori). He created Kankuro's puppets, among others, and is a genius puppeteer in his own right. His first appearance is during a mission to Sunagakure where Deidara is to capture Gaara. After Gaara's capture, Kankuro attempts to stop the Akatsuki duo, but to no avail. Sasori battled the enraged brother, nearly killing him and easily destroying Kankuro's puppets in the process. After Gaara is delivered to the Akatsuki lair, it is he and Deidara who fend off Team Kakashi while the others escape.
Sasori left Sunagakure 20 years before his introduction, but the background on his crimes is unknown. Flashbacks seem to indicate that his descent into darkness started when his parents died, and he attempted to simulate being with them by turning their corpses into puppets (the first puppets he ever created). After hearing news of her grandson's return, Chiyo decides to join Team Kakashi in search of the duo and to rescue Gaara.
Sasori and Deidara have quite different views of what art is. Sasori believes art is something that should last forever, while Deidara believes art is fleeting. Although Deidara respects Sasori's view, Sasori doesn't seem to respect Deidara's.
Sasori inside his puppet, HirukoDuring regular combat, Sasori wears his puppets like armor and controls them from the inside, thus eliminating the puppeteer's weakness of being a separate and exposed target. His favorite puppet is named 'Hiruko' (¥Ò¥ë¥³), according to Chiyo. Hiruko has a mechanical tail extending from the mouth of what appears to be a mask on his back, the left arm is something that appears to be a large studded projectile capable of firing shrapnel, and the clearly artificial mouth opens to reveal another projectile-firing device. Sakura is able to smash this puppet into hundreds of pieces with a single punch.
His puppet suits are the not the only tricks Sasori uses, though. His true power lies in his regular puppets, which are made from the still-living bodies of humans. Not only are these puppets more versatile than regular puppets, they are able to use the chakra and jutsu of those they were created from. Sasori claims to have a collection of 298 human puppets (ÈË¿þÀÜ, "hitokugutsu"). The first puppet he unveils happens to be his favorite: the Third Kazekage. The Third Kazekage had been killed many years before, and until this point his death had remained a mystery. This puppet retained its unique Iron Sand ability, making it particularly dangerous. Like with Hiruko, Sakura smashes this puppet into many pieces.
Sasori's true formThe truly frightening aspect of Sasori is that his real body is still as young as Chiyo remembered it from when Sasori left the village. The secret of his youth is revealed after the Kazekage puppet is destroyed: he made himself into a puppet. His stomach had been replaced by a thick cable coiled around a pole, allowing it to be used as a stinger and retracted as necessary. He attached a scroll holder to his back, in which he kept four scrolls containing his human puppets for his Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets. He also attached a pair of arms to his back, each equipped with five large claws. He added flamethrowers to each of his real hands, as well. Finally, he installed a hidden compartment in his right chest that could spin unknown numbers of chakra strings to control puppets. His left chest contained the only part of him that remained human, and thus capable of controlling chakra: his heart. The heart is stored in a cylinder-shaped device with the kanji Ï (Sasori, "Scorpion") printed on it.
Because Sasori's heart is the only living part of himself, his puppet body is virtually indestructible. When smashed apart, he could simply draw the pieces back together. Additionally, he can transfer his heart to other puppets, allowing him to abandon a body should it be damaged or otherwise incapacitated. How he transfers his facial features, as depicted in the manga, is not explained. Since he only does so once during his Performance of a Hundred Puppets technique, one can assume he keeps "spare" versions of himself within his summoning scrolls in case he needs to transfer himself.
Sasori's own strength proves to be his ultimate weakness. Because only one part of him remains alive, it only took one sword stab to kill him. Chiyo used his mother's and father's puppets to stab him through this location in a manner similar to the hug that he subconsciously desired. Interestingly, Chiyo seemed to believe that Sasori had allowed himself to be killed ¨C he saw the attack coming and chose not to react, and he died in a way similar to how his parent puppets used to embrace him. At the end of the battle, Chiyo, Sasori, and Sakura are all fatally wounded, but Chiyo uses a jutsu originally developed for puppets to cure Sakura. The jutsu had been developed in the hope of giving life to otherwise lifeless puppets, but Chiyo realized during the research that the only way such a thing was possible was to trade one life for another. In this case, however, Chiyo survived since Sakura was still alive. Later, Chiyo uses the jutsu again to Gaara, trading her life to revive the dead Kazekage. Naruto assists by providing some of his own chakra, since Chiyo didn't possess enough energy to revive Gaara on her own.
As a reward to Sakura for defeating him, Sasori's last words were that he had a spy in Orochimaru's ranks, with whom he was supposed to meet in Kusagakure ten days later. This spy was revealed to be Kabuto Yakushi. However, Orochimaru had long ago undone the jutsu on Kabuto that kept him loyal to Akatsuki, and Kabuto remained loyal to Orochimaru.
At the time of his death, Sasori had not yet captured his Jinchuriki. A short dialogue between himself and Deidara suggests that Sasori did not even know what Jinchuriki he had been assigned to target. After his death, Tobi was the one to take his place and ring.
Agents of us...
Kabuto Yakushi Kabuto YakushiMain article: Kabuto Yakushi Status: Defected Kabuto Yakushi was a former spy for Sasori, under a form of mind-control. Kabuto was used by Sasori to infiltrate Orochimaru's group, but Orochimaru removed the mind control on Kabuto shortly after he joined. Kabuto then betrayed Sasori and Akatsuki in favor of Orochimaru.
Yura YuraAge: ? Status: Deceased Height: ? Weight: ? Birthday: ? Blood type: ? Rank: Jonin Registration #: ? Yura served as a trusted member of the Kazekage advisory council of Sunagakure for four years. In reality, he was a sleeper agent for Akatsuki and a subordinate of Sasori. He was used in the Akatsuki leader's Shapeshifting Technique, which made him take on the shape of Itachi Uchiha and allowed Itachi to take control of his body. He was killed by Naruto's Great Ball Spiraling Sphere in this form" Zai smiled noting all his knowledge of the guild.
So watch your mouth" Zaki smiled

Sakura gave Lee a serious look. She sighed and looked to Zeik with a deadly face. "You dont want to mixed in things you cant handle..." she siad warningly.
She looked back to Lee. "Double for you Lee..." She tensed up leaning back onto her chair and feeling the tension in the air. Lee seemed disapointed and in denial...
"You Kidding right Sakura...This all a plan....You and Naruto are plottting something?"
Itachi laughed. "How sad..."
Sakura's gaze did not change at all...It was sereious. She was on a new side now, and he had to accept that. Sakura stood up, barring deep into Lee. "Care to make another crack?" she asked reffering the insults.
