Naruto is not just an anime, it’s an emotion. As someone who grew up watching Naruto, this anime is very close to me. Do you know the best part that makes this one-of-a-kind show? Characters from Naruto anime showed me that villains are not born, they are made by society.
All Naruto Akatsuki members and every other villain in the series had a reason for why they turned out that way, but yes, some are exceptional because a handful were pure evil. One of the most powerful evil organizations in all anime is Akatsuki. It was created by Yahiko during the Third Ninja War. It was later led by Nagato and after that Tobi.
Even though Akatsuki was portrayed as an abominable organization, the real motive why it was created was to protect Amegakure aka Village Hidden By Rain. In this write-up, I’ll be mentioning all Akatsuki members’ name, their ranks, and their special abilities. So sit tight and read about all these amazing Akatsuki characters in Naruto.

Wrap Up
So, this is it. I have mentioned all 13 Akatsuki members in Naruto who were part of the organization, but many believe that Sasuke, Karin, and Jugo were also part of the group.

If we talk about the current Akatsuki that is in Boruto: Naruto Next Generation, it is still active as it was led by Shin Uchiha. Akatsuki might be an evil group, but its members had a great impact on fans, and they would very much love to see more of them in the ongoing Boruto series.
