In the anime series "Naruto", the main antagonists of the heroes are members of the Akatsuki organization. Its composition is very diverse. But all of them are united by a single appearance and life principles.
Members of Dawn
Dawn - this is how the name of the Akatsuki organization is literally translated. The composition of its members is of interest to most fans of this popular anime series. Moreover, homophonically the name of this villainous community is similar to the Japanese phrase "red moon".
According to the plot of this fascinating anime series, initially it included ninja from the village of Rain, whose names were Konan, Yahiko and Nagato. When Yahiko died, a new leader named Toby reformed the organization into a real criminal gang.
The series "Naruto"
"Naruto" is a popular Japanese anime and manga. The protagonist of this work is the young and restless ninja Naruto Uzumaki. His main dream is to achieve universal recognition. He plans to become the head of the settlement and the most powerful ninja.
In order to realize his dream, he has to overcome many obstacles and trials. He passes ninja exams, goes through dangerous battles and exciting missions. An important role in the narrative is played by the female characters of Naruto, who often provide assistance and support to the main character and his assistants.
According to the plot of this work, the main character is the bearer of the nine-tailed demon fox, which is literally sealed in his body.
It is known that even 12 years before the events described, this demon fox treacherously attacked the native village of Naruto, which was called Konoha. To save Konoha and its inhabitants, the head of the village makes a sacrifice; as a result, the beast is sealed in the newborn Naruto.
The head of the village was sincerely sure that those around him would perceive Naruto as a hero who restrains the power of the nine-tailed fox. Instead, they began to take him for a demon and disliked the boy from childhood.
After that, for many years it was forbidden to mention the fox's attack on the village. Therefore, Naruto only found out about his strange features when he grew up.
Akatsuki members
Akatsuki first appears in the anime in the first part. And in the second, its members become one of the main antagonists of positive characters.
This organization consists of the strongest ninjas who once swore allegiance to the Akatsuki organization. Its composition is very powerful. For example, among them is Orochimaru, who has betrayed his villages more than once, for which he was expelled by his compatriots.
At the start of the main action, nine people are members of Akatsuki.
Organization goals
The main goal of Akatsuki is simple and clear - to get in his possession all the tailed demons that at the moment have been imprisoned in the bodies of dzinturiki. One of the most powerful demons is enclosed in the body of Naruto Uzumakki.
At the same time, in order to achieve the main goal, the organization implements several other secondary goals that help it achieve the main goal. To get the demons, they seek to collect as much money as possible, the leader of the Akatsuki tells in one of the series. To do this, they are caught by the wanted ninjas and sell them on the black market.
They themselves also strive to create a group of professional ninjas, which at the same time will not depend on any country or village. They increase their reputation by agreeing to complete complex and dangerous missions for a completely symbolic reward. They calculate the basic costs with the help of the accumulated money. Ordinary ninjas do not have such financial reserves, so they are forced to refuse cheap orders.
Over time, they actually capture a military monopoly in this market. The ultimate goal of Akatsuki, the composition of this organization does not even hide it, to seize power over the whole world.
Moreover, the tailed demons themselves are extremely necessary for them in order to create an absolute weapon. Thanks to him, all people on earth know unbearable pain.
Over time, Tobi from Naruto, who is one of the real leaders of Akatsuki, talks about another plan. They plan to recreate the ten-tailed demon. Thus, Toby expects to plunge the whole world into an illusion, which he can control. He dreams of creating a world in which no one will know pain and suffering.
Appearance of Akatsuki from Naruto
It is noteworthy that all members of the Akatsuki wear the same clothes. They are wearing black and long raincoats with a red lining. They made inserts of red clouds. High collars are raised to the chins.
At the same time, all the nails on their feet and hands are always painted. Mostly purple.
It happens that they put on straw hats in the shape of a cone, on which the bells are located. So they try to hide their faces from prying and unwanted eyes or escape from adverse weather conditions.
Some still, according to the old tradition, wear a headband, which is a symbol of their native village.
Rings
Akatsuki rings are worn by every member of this organization. Moreover, on a strictly defined finger. On each of them various letters are engraved. All of them have deep symbolic meaning.
Initially, there were ten Akatsuki rings. But then one of them remained with Orochimaru, who was expelled from the organization.
Deidara wears a blue ring on the index finger of his right hand. Conan is a white ring on the middle finger of the right hand. Itati Utih has a scarlet ring on his right hand, on his ring finger. On the middle finger of his left hand, Kakuzu flaunts a ring denoting the north.
Itati
Itati Uticha is one of the main characters in this manga. Translated from Japanese, his name means "affection", and in eastern mythology at the same time symbolizes illness, trouble and death.
According to the plot, he wiped almost his entire clan from the face of the earth. Only his younger brother named Sasuke survived. After that, Itati was recognized as a dangerous criminal, and his brother began to dream of only one thing - to kill him.
From childhood, Itati was considered a gifted ninja. But already at the age of four he received serious psychological trauma when he knew all the horror and fear of the Third World War. He graduated from the Academy for the Ninja at the age of 7.
He appreciated and loved his father, who believed that Itati would become the main successor to their family, paying little attention to his youngest son, Sasuke.
As a child, Itati had little contact with his brother, only occasionally helping him with homework. Therefore, Sasuke especially appreciated these rare moments, which were a real holiday for him.
Over time, the relationship between Itati and his father deteriorated. In addition, they began to suspect him of killing Sisuy. When these assumptions began to be voiced openly, Itati stated that the clan was limiting its capabilities. When the police came to him with similar charges, he cracked down on three law enforcement officers. And two weeks later he killed all members of his family. Even their own parents, albeit with tears in their eyes.
Over the corpses of his father and mother, his younger brother found him. When he asked why he did this, Itati replied that he wanted to test his capabilities. He left Sasuke alive, explaining that he could eventually become a worthy opponent for him.
After that, he fled from the village and became a criminal ninja. He was actively sought, but to no avail. As a result, he joined Akatsuki from Naruto.
After some time, he receives the task of abducting Naruto, inside whom a ten-tailed demon is enclosed. They distract him with an attractive girl, and they burst into Naruto’s room. However, there is Sasuke, who learned about the visit of his older brother. He uses his mysterious chidori technique. But even Itati reflects it without any problems.
Sasuke
Itati's younger brother is given close attention in this anime. His life is driven by only one goal - to kill his older brother, who destroyed almost their entire family. But when he finds out about the hidden truth, the events of the past appear before him in a different light.
Sasuke Uchiha initially grew up in the shadow of his older brother. After the death of his parents, he graduated from the ninja academy with the best performance on the release. It is considered a true genius of military science. Over time, he finds himself on the same team with Naruto. At first they do not pay attention to each other, but then they begin to compete. It benefited them. So they achieved success faster.
Over time, Sasuke Uchiha formed his own team. It included masterfully wielding the ninja sword Suigetsu, a former prisoner of Jugo and Karin Uzumaki. She once led one of the bases of Orochimaru. Female characters in Naruto play an important role. For example, Karin knows how to search, pursue, and even study a person by analyzing his chakras.
Soon after, he learns the truth about his family. His older brother killed his parents and other relatives, obeying the direct order of the leadership of the village of Konoha, as their family clan conceived a coup. Thus, even more bloodshed was avoided. After all, there was a threat of civil war. Only because Itati loved his younger brother and cared about the public good, the safety of the villagers, did he go for it.
As a result, Sasuke also becomes part of the Akatsuki clan.
Toby
Tobi from Naruto is primarily known for the fact that he kidnapped the girl 12 years before the events described. He managed to extract a nine-tailed monster from her.
Entering Akatsuki, he for a long time remained in the shadow of more eminent and obscene ninjas. Moreover, unlike most other members of the clan, Akatsuki behaved not restrained and serious, but frivolously and comically.
He himself believes that his life is a continuous battlefield, because of which he lost his normal life. His fate in the Akatsuki clan is tragic.
In one of the battles, his mask is broken. And in the next chapter of the manga, he is told that he is actually a childhood friend of Kakashi named Obito Utiha. He was considered dead during World War III. At this time, his right side of the body was almost completely destroyed as a result of a strong and sudden collapse. He survived only by a miracle, and the elderly Madara saved him.
Toby dies in chapter 687 of the manga when he tries to save Naruto attacked by Kagui.
Kisame
Kisame Hoshigaki is another representative of the Akatsuki organization. He had a ring with the meaning South on the ring finger of his left hand.
This hero became famous for brilliantly using water techniques in battle. He skillfully combined them with melee attacks of opponents.
Kisame's main weapon is Samahad's sword. It is covered with scales, with the help of which it is able to absorb the chakra, passing it to its owner. It is noteworthy that if the volume of the chakra becomes too large, Samahada is transformed. It multiplies in size, and a mouth opens at its end. However, this sword does not allow anyone else to own. He recognizes only Kisame.
Another useful feature of this sword is the ability to merge together with its owner. Therefore, from time to time, Kisame turns into a real sharkman. He has fins, gills on his elbows and on his back.
Everyone around him notes that Kisame has a significant amount of chakra, and his sword is one of the most dangerous among all the so-called Seven Swords of the Mist. Therefore, the hero was assigned another nickname - "Tailed beast without a tail."
After the tragic death of the Third Hokage, he and his faithful partner Itati set off for Konoha. There, he searches for Naruto, the main character of the anime, the carrier of the nine-tailed monster. During a protracted battle, he confronts Uzumaki himself.
After the failure, he receives an order to catch at least an eight-tailed monster. Then Zetsu helps the hero create a clone, with which he fakes his death. Successfully waging a battle with the Fourth Raikage and his younger brother. It merges into one with Samehad and goes to the Land of Lightning.
After a while, Naruto himself discovers Kisame on the island. In this he helps his superpower to feel people at a distance. Then Kisame is forced to hastily reveal his location and leave the island. Since in this case, the forces were clearly not on his side.
Having been defeated, he is captured, but here he finds profit. He extracts useful and valuable information that the Fourth Mizukage is actually under the complete influence and control of Tobi. Therefore, it does not give a full report in its actions.
Kisame suffers from severe pain shock. To get rid of him, he bites off his tongue. And when he realizes that he will not be able to hide again, he goes to a water prison. There he calls for sharks that eat his body.
Knowing the features and characteristics of the negative heroes of the anime "Naruto" is interesting and useful to all fans and fans of this series. Most of these characters are amazing and contradictory personalities whose actions can not always be interpreted unambiguously.
