Naruto: the complete chronology of the Akatsuki, in what order were they all hired?

Introduced during the Tsunade Research Arc, Narutos Akatsuki has become an iconic organization also outside of the world of manga and anime. Masashi Kishimoto has created a diverse group of individuals with great charisma who are perfectly able to play the role of antagonists of the various narrative strands of the series.

But the composition of the group, its purpose and path have changed several times over time, depending on the progress of events. Let’s rediscover that History of the Akatsuki and the moment the various members entered Analysis of the key moments of this Naruto group.

It started with the original group conceived and led by Yahiko, which included Konan and Nagato, but not only. Inside were other ninjas from the rainy village, such as Daibutsu, Kie, and Kyusuke. However, after Yahiko’s death, the organization changed radically. Nagato became the new boss and Akatsuki was born with the purpose we have seen throughout the Naruto manga. At this point, after the Third Ninja War, Obito Uchiha joined the group with Nagato and Konan’s secret advisor.

Then the search began for some S rank ninjas wanted by their governments. So Juzo Biwa, a former member of the Swordsmen of the Mist, joined with Orochimaru, Zetsu, Kakuzu and some of his unknown partners were later killed by him and Sasori. Shortly thereafter, Itachi joined Uchiha, then Kisame, Deidara and finally Hidan, the last member to enter Nagatos Akatsuki.

With the death of the latter, the organization officially passed into the hands of Tobi, who owned the small group of Sasuke, Karin, Jugo and Suigetsu. The group then fell into the hands of Shin and his clones, and eventually ended when they joined Konoha. In Boruto: Naruto the Next Generations, Kara has the bad organizational role.
