Akatsuki

The story focuses on two very important missions as the protagonist and his friends return stronger:
The Akatsuki threat: A secret criminal organization seeks to capture all the tailed beasts (Bijus) sealed inside ninjas, including the nine-tailed fox that lives inside Naruto, in order to unleash a war.
Sasuke's Rescue: Naruto tries with all his might to find and save his friend Sasuke Uchiha, who has allied himself with criminals and renounced his home in search of revenge.
All of this leads to immense conflicts and epic battles.

She's a cheerful, dramatic, sarcastic, and playful girl. When she gets very angry, she becomes impulsive.

Obsession with money
Love of riches: Kakuzu only takes jobs if they pay well. If a fight doesn't bring him profit, he forgets about it completely.
Akatsuki Treasurer: He was in charge of the group's finances. He managed the money and supported the other members.
Rewards: He liked to hunt wanted ninjas to collect large sums for their heads.
Cold and calculating character. Without emotions: He does not make decisions out of anger or friendship, but out of logic and benefit.
Fight like chess: Analyze your rivals calmly and carefully consider each move.
Violent temper: In the past, he killed several of his own colleagues because of his anger.

Relationship with Hidan
Her ideal partner: She put up with Hidan because he couldn't die. Although she hated his religious rituals, considering them a waste of time, they made a lethal team.
More cautious: He always asked Hidan not to let his guard down, since his partner was very overconfident.

The two halves of Zetsu
Zetsu's body is divided into two parts with opposing characteristics:
White Zetsu: He is relaxed, curious, playful, and sometimes shows a childish or sarcastic side towards enemies.
Black Zetsu: He is cold, serious, cunning, patient, and very calculating. He doesn't care about other people's feelings.
Behavior and relationship
Internal discussions: Often, both halves talk to each other and argue about what to do or how to make fun of each other.
Manipulation: Black Zetsu hides his true calculating nature by feigning loyalty to leaders like Madara, when in reality he only serves his creator, Kaguya.
Spy role: Prefers to observe silently from the shadows rather than fight head-on

Jutsus:

Infiltration and Displacement Jutsus
Ephemeral Technique (Mayu / Kagerō): This is his signature ability. It allows Zetsu to merge his body with the earth, roots, and plants to travel almost instantaneously over great distances. While using it, he completely conceals his presence and chakra, becoming undetectable.
Body Division Jutsu: Allows the white and black halves to separate into two autonomous and independent beings to perform simultaneous tasks.
Thought Transmission: Instant telepathic communication he uses to send information to his own clones or other members of Akatsuki.

Main traits of his personality

Analytical and perceptive: Despite his brutal appearance and cold-blooded nature, he is a highly intelligent ninja on the battlefield. He quickly assesses enemy techniques and reacts tactically.
Absolute loyalty to Itachi: He formed an unusual and respectful relationship with his partner Itachi Uchiha. He considered him his only true friend and obeyed his orders without question.
Nihilistic worldview: He grew up in an environment where people were treated as mere disposable tools. This convinced him that the ninja world is full of lies and false loyalties, which facilitated his joining Tobi's plan.

Jutsus:

1. Curse Jutsu: Controlling the Possessed's Blood (Jujutsu: Shijihyōketsu) This is her ultimate technique and the foundation of her fighting style. It is a jutsu of physical bonding through blood.
   Step 1 (The Ingestion): Hidan must wound his opponent with his scythe and lick his blood.
   Step 2 (The symbol): Draw the symbol of Jashin (an inverted triangle inside a circle) on the ground with your own blood.
   Step 3 (The transformation): Upon entering the circle, their skin turns black with white markings, resembling a skeleton.
   The effect: As long as he remains within the circle, any physical damage Hidan inflicts upon himself will be instantly replicated in the victim's body.

2. Jashin's Immortality
   It is not a jutsu that requires hand seals, but the result of having survived the secret experiments of the Jashin religion.
   It consists of: Hidan is incapable of dying from fatal wounds. He can survive decapitation, dismemberment, impalement through the heart, and destruction of vital organs.
   The condition: Although he doesn't die, his body continues to respond to the laws of physics. If his head is cut off, he can't move his body and needs someone (like Kakuzu) to sew it back on. Furthermore, he can die of starvation if he spends too much time buried without his ritual sacrifices being performed.

Hidan is one of the most sadistic and eccentric villains. His personality is characterized by a complete lack of morals, combined with extreme religious fanaticism.

Main traits of his personality
Religious fanatic: Blindly worships Jashin, a god who demands destruction and death.
Sadistic and masochistic: Enjoys inflicting pain on rivals and experiencing it on his own body.

Genjutsu: Sharingan: A visual illusion cast through direct eye contact to paralyze, manipulate, or confuse the enemy (as he did with the Fourth Mizukage).
Mangekyō Sharingan (Kamui): His signature technique. It is a space-time ninjutsu that grants him two abilities:
Intangibility: Allows you to send parts of your own body to your personal dimension to make any physical attack or enemy pass through you like a ghost.
Teleportation: He can absorb himself or other people/objects into his private dimension.

Wood Element (Mokuton)
Thanks to the Hashirama Senju cells implant provided by Madara, Obito can use wood nature techniques:
Wood Style: Branch Cutting Jutsu: Allows you to sprout sharp stakes or branches from your body or from the ground to impale and massacre multiple enemies in seconds.
Underground root techniques: The ability to manipulate the surrounding wood to move underground or trap rivals

Beneath the mask of "Tobi," Obito Uchiha adopts a childish, exaggerated, clumsy, and clownish personality, acting like a carefree idiot to conceal his true identity and sinister plans. This facade is an extreme parody of his innocent childhood.

Main features of Tobi

Childish and clownish: Throws tantrums, shouts, jumps and acts with exaggerated shyness or false innocence.
Irritating: Annoys everyone, and at the same time brightens the atmosphere.
Cowardly and lazy: Avoids fighting head-on at the beginning, complaining and hiding behind others.

1. Jutsus and Base Skills (Puppeteer Style)
   Puppet Technique: The ability to control puppets using chakra threads extended from the fingertips. Sasori could manipulate puppets at imperceptible speeds.
   Hitokugutsu (Human Puppet): A jutsu he invented. It allows him to turn human corpses into puppets while preserving the chakra and Kekkei Genkai the ninja possessed in life.
   Senju Sōbu (Manipulation of a Thousand Hands): Used through his puppet Hiruko. From the puppet's left arm emerge thousands of mechanical arms summoned in a chain that trap, crush, and fire poisonous needles at the opponent.

2. Jutsus with the "Third Kazekage" (Satetsu / Iron Sand) Sasori's favorite human puppet. By preserving the Kazekage's chakra, it allowed him to control Satetsu (Iron Sand), considered the most lethal technique in the history of Sunagakure.
   Satetsu Shigure (Iron Sand Rain): Condenses metallic sand into countless high-speed microscopic needles or projectiles that rain down on the opponent, covering large areas.
   Satetsu Kaihō (Order of Iron Sand Excrescence): Two large masses of iron sand of opposite polarities collide, creating a colossal branched sphere of metallic spines that cut and poison everything in its path.
   Satetsu Kesshū (Iron Sand Block): Compacts sand to form gigantic geometric figures (prisms, pyramids, or hammers) used to crush defenses or knock down targets.

Sasori is a cold, calculating, and impatient character who seeks eternal perfection through the art of puppetry. This member of the Akatsuki organization is distinguished by his analytical mind and profound emotional detachment.

1. Main features
   Coldness and calculation: He remains calm in dangerous situations and analyzes everything logically.
   Impatience: He hates waiting or making others wait, despite having an immortal body.
   Detachment: Shows no empathy and prefers the company of inanimate objects to that of living beings.
   Perfectionism: He is very critical and seeks to ensure that every detail of his creations is perfect.

2. His vision of art: Eternal art:
   He believes that true beauty does not decompose over time, unlike human flesh.
   Arguments with Deidara: His partner in Akatsuki thinks that art is a fleeting instant (an explosion), which causes constant clashes between them.
   Human puppets: Turns powerful victims into puppets to preserve their fighting techniques forever.

1. Divine Path (Tendō) - Yahiko's Body: This is the main and most powerful body. It controls the forces of gravitational attraction and repulsion.
   Shinra Tensei (Heavenly Repulsion): Generates a repulsive force that deflects jutsu, weapons, or enemies. Its massive version can devastate an entire village, but leaves the body drained of energy for several minutes.
   Bansho Ten'in (Celestial Attraction): Magnetically attracts any object, person, or enemy towards Pain to trap or finish them off.
   Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation): Launches a black sphere into the sky that generates immense gravity, absorbing earth, rocks, and the enemy himself until it forms a giant satellite in the air to seal him away.

2. Animal Path (Chikushōdō)
   He specializes in mass invocations that do not require a blood pact or sacrifices.
   Rinnegan Summons: Summons a variety of giant creatures with the Rinnegan (they share its vision).
   Among them: a multi-headed dog that multiplies when attacked, a giant bird that drops explosive eggs, a rhinoceros, a bull, a chameleon that turns invisible, and a centipede.
   Summoning the other Paths: This body can summon Pain's other bodies or Konan to its location instantly.

3. Human Path (Ningendō) Specialized in espionage, mind reading, and instant killing.
   Soul Extraction: Place your hand on the victim's head or chest to absorb their soul. This process kills the target instantly.
   Mind Reading: By touching the enemy, you can forcibly read all their memories and secrets in a few seconds.

Pain is Nagato's alias when he controls the Six Paths of Pain, six ninja corpses reanimated through chakra receivers. Each body possesses a portion of the Rinnegan's power and masters a specific skill.

Pain (Nagato) adopted a calm, serious, solitary, and humorless personality through Yahiko's body (as Pain's Deva Path).

Main traits of this personality
Coldness and authority: He acted as the supreme leader of Akatsuki, displaying an intimidating and distant presence.
God complex: He believed that world peace could only be achieved by making humanity experience the same suffering through fear.
Symbolism and pain: He used this body to convey his ideals of shared pain, maintaining Yahiko's image as the legitimate leader.

Personality:
Pain's personality was very different; he became a quiet, solitary person. Pain was extremely serious and devoid of any humor. Apparently, the traumas he experienced in his past made him feel the true meaning of pain and suffering, leading him to consider himself a deity, believing himself to be something more than a mere human being. He tried to demonstrate the true meaning of pain by using an ultimate weapon to prevent future wars, through means similar to "mutually assured destruction," and he showed no moral qualms about his actions. He was willing to kill Jiraiya to ensure the success of his plans. He even went so far as to proclaim himself a "god of peace" who would guide the world toward maturity through pain. Finally, he concluded that no one could understand true peace without first understanding true pain, something his friend Yahiko believed. Minato Namikaze believed that Obito Uchiha (under the guise of the masked Akatsuki member) might be using this idea to his advantage in order to manipulate Nagato.
As Jiraiya prepared to return to Konohagakure, Pain summoned the Asura Path, which attacked him from behind, severing his left arm. Just as he looked back, he saw Pain's Six Paths, including the three he had already defeated. The Six Paths attacked Jiraiya, who was barely able to capture the Animal Path, sending it back to Konohagakure for study. During the confrontation with the six bodies, he was able to confirm that none of them were Nagato, but rather previous ninja he had encountered. Even so, the Six Paths surrounded him and crushed his throat, leaving him unable to move or even speak. Pain, believing his master to be dead, decided to leave, but Jiraiya was still alive and used the last of his chakra to write a code on Fukasaku's back revealing Pain's true identity.

Akatsuki (which means "Dawn") is a powerful criminal organization of rogue ninjas from the anime and manga Naruto.

What did they do for a living?
Mercenary work: In their criminal phase, they operated in pairs, taking on shady jobs and collecting funds.
Tailed Beast Hunting: Their main activity consisted of tracking, capturing and extracting the Bijū (tailed chakra beasts) housed within humans called jinchūriki.
War and terrorism: They eliminated anyone who stood in their way, destroyed entire villages, and acted outside the law.

What was their objective?
Akatsuki's purpose changed over time:
The Beginning (Pacifist): It was founded by Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan to bring peace to the devastated Land of Rain through peaceful methods.
Pain's (Nagato's) plan: After Yahiko's death, the objective shifted to capturing all the tailed beasts to create an ultimate weapon of mass destruction. With it, they planned to inflict such immense suffering on the world that humanity would fear war and learn to live in peace.
Obito and Madara's secret plan: Behind the scenes, the ultimate plan was to use the combined power of the beasts to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a worldwide trance that would plunge all humans into an illusion of eternal peace.
