The History Of Akatsuki (Naruto)

this video was made in collaboration with narutopedia if you'd like to learn more check out the link in the description akatsky was a group of shinobi that existed outside the usual system of hidden villages over the course of several decades akotsky took different forms and was led by different individuals though each iteration is viewed as either subversives or criminals all iterations seek to make the world a better place through their own means ichikotsuki tended to have multiple layers across the world inaccessible either due to their remoteness or the very security measures that protected them welcome to the amagi in today's video we're going over the history of akatsuki before we begin we publish a new video every day so be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell icon to get notified about our latest videos yahiko zakatsuki the initial concept of katsuki was devised by blac setsu as part of its plan to revive its mother though it pretended the idea came from modera uchiha whom black satsu tricked into thinking that it was a manifestation of his will akatsuki was originally founded by yakiko during the third shinobi world war alongside his childhood friends nagato and konan as citizens of amigakurei who had been orphaned by the second shinobi world war the three created akatsuki as a way to bring peace to their home country which too often got caught in the middle of the five great shinobi countries many conflicts in time the three were approached by toby who introduced himself as modero chiha tobi claimed nagato was the reincarnation of the sage of six paths and offered to teach him to control the power of the rinnegan though yahiko distrusted him and prompted nagato to turn down his offer nevertheless toby would later claim that it was he who encouraged yahiko to form akatsuki unbeknownst to conan akatsuki's desire for an end to war attracted many fellow aminja to their cause and in time word of their exploits began to travel beyond amagakuri's borders akatsuki's early fame was owed largely to yahiko's leadership and his natural charisma which kept the group united and motivated them to persevere despite the difficulties of their goal yahiko however viewed himself as merely a facilitator for nagato who would ultimately be the actual source of world peace because of his rinnegan ami's leader hanzo also became aware of akatsuki and perceived them as a threat to his rule a belief encouraged by donzo shimura in the anime hanzo approached takatsuki offering to help them broke her peace between konohagakure iwagakurei and tsunagakuri when yahiko nagato and conan arrived to meet with him however they were ambushed by hanzo's men and members of danzo's route who took konin hostage and forced yahiko to commit suicide in order to save her enraged by yahiko's death nagato summoned the demonic statue of the outer path and used it to slaughter their attackers though hanzo himself escaped in the anime the other members of akatsuki were tipped off to hanzo's plan and attempted to provide backup to yahiko and the others toby and zetsu intercepted them and after a long battle toby killed the remaining members of the group nagato zakatsuki with yahiko's dying breath he entrusted the pursuit of peace to nagato nagato grieved by yahiko's death came to believe that the world would never willingly consent to peace and that akatsuki's previously pacifist approaches were therefore futile he concluded that the only way the world would turn away from its constant warfare would be to experience catastrophic death and destruction that it could never again stomach the idea of conflict intending to be the one to show these horrors to the world nagato began using the alias pain and formed the six paths of pain into which he integrated yahiko's corpse so that he could symbolically continue leading akatsuki nagato sought out obito under the guise of maduro uchiha and accepted his earlier offer of support which he provided in secret after the third shinobi world war akatsuki began recruiting s rank missing nin mostly through strong arming them and promising protection to carry out their respective goals orochimaru and hitachi joined for their own reasons while kisame and zetsu joined to secretly insure the eye of the moon plan once akatsuki recruited its target of 10 members akatsuki began following a three-step process to achieve this stated objective one obtain enough money to support their organization two provide mercenary services at well under the competitive rate using the money gathered in the first step to offset costs this will make countries increasingly dependent on akatsuki's services corner the entire market for shinobi missions and eventually put all of the shinobi villages out of business because they can't compete with akatsuki's prices by capturing and strategically deploying the tailed beast akatsuki could quickly start and then quell wars thereby speeding up the process three once all other major shinobi forces have dissolved akotsuki will be able to quickly conquer all of the countries of the world the early years of nagato zakatsuki were very successful as the hidden villages increasingly hired akatsuki to fight in wars and perform assassinations that the villages themselves were unwilling to get involved in during times of peace the fourth reikage claims that only kumo gakurei never hired akatsuki while the third tsuchigakurei in particular became a frequent employer despite being such a popular and successful group akatsuki was largely a mystery to those outside the organization with many incorrectly coming to believe they operated out of kirigakore akatsuki experienced some turmoil amongst its members over the years kakazu regularly killed his partners in fits of rage and stole their hearts for his earth grudge fear only being teamed with the immortal hit on prevented him from continuing to do this orochimaru attempted to steal hitachi uchiha's body after the latter joined the organization and when that failed he was forced to defect despite this akatsuki was able to begin working towards capturing the tailed beasts nakato's actual objective behind acquiring the tailed beasts was to harness the tale beast's chakra to create a powerful kinjutsu using it to wipe out one side in a conflict and from the display frightened the other side and the world at large to stop the fighting if and when the fears abated and conflicts renewed the kinjutsu would be deployed again creating small periods of peace in an endless chain of hatred because all but one of the tale beasts were in the possession of the hidden villages their capture risked antagonizing many of kotsuki's former clients despite this daedra claims that the previous owners of the first two-tailed beasts captured by akatsuki indicated in the anime to have been the five tales and the seven tales were glad to be rid of them akotski's mission to capture the tale beast gradually elevates them from the shadows of the world and in turn prompts a growing resistance from the hidden villages after daedra captures the one tail sasuri is killed in battle with the sunna and konaha forces sent to rescue the one-tail's jinchuriki obito takes this open position as an opportunity to officially join akatsuki as toby helping capture the three tails around the same time hidon and kakazu capture the two tails but both are subsequently defeated in unrelated confrontations with konoha's niju shotai or the 20 platoons in english kisame hoshigaki later acquires the four tales after which both deira and hitachi separately die in battle against sasuke uchiha because of their shrinking numbers toby pressures nagato into taking a more active role in capturing the remaining tailed beasts in the anime he and conan are first sent to capture the sixth tales which was captured at some earlier point in the manga they are afterwards sent to konoha to capture the nine tails and in the course of the result in pain's assault the village is destroyed when he finally locates and meets with the nine-tails jinchuriki naruto isumaki nakato begins to doubt the direction he has taken akatsuki in since yahiko's death after nagito's six paths of pain are defeated naruto convinces him that a bloodless piece is worth pursuing no matter how impossible it may seem to make up for all the missteps he took nagato gives his life to revive the konaha villagers that died during the attack using his last breath to encourage naruto to achieve the peace that he was never able to with yahiko and nagato gone conan opts to leave akatsuki toby zakatsuki toby approached takatsuki in order to get close to nagato who's rinagon he needed to complete the eye of the moon plan over the years he remained in the shadows allowing nagato to stay as akatsu's leader while obito manipulated him towards his desired ends specifically capturing all nine-tailed beasts so that he can restore the ten tales and use it to cast the infinite tsukiomi on the world ending all conflict by trapping everyone in a dream obito follows the eye of the moon plan under instructions of the real modera uchiha whose identity obito assumed after matara's death matara intended obito to have nagato revive him in the final stages of the plan though obito had no plans to uphold that end of the plan and intended to use nagato to revive himself should anything happen to him however this subterfuge was rendered moot by nagato betraying obito and using the samsara of heavenly life technique to revive everyone he killed during his invasion of a konaha even before nagato's death obito takes a growing role in koski's activities due in large to hitachi chiha's death he reveals himself to kisame who worked with him during the time in kirigakore and is happy to collaborate with him yet again he also convinces sasuke uchiha and his team taka to join forces with akatsuki an alliance that obito believes is worth the losses of all the other kotsuki members while nagato goes after the ninetails obito sends taka after the eight tails the only other remaining tailed beast although taka initially appears successful they're discovered to have been tricked by the atl's jinchuriki killer b when zetsu shortly afterwards reports nagato's own death obito is deeply agitated by the setbacks particularly nagato's betrayal and increasingly irritated by naruto's constant thwarting of his plans with the ranks so diminished and with the five great shinobi countries finally starting to mobilize against akatsuki both because of the attack on konaha and the botched capture of killer b obito is forced to start taking drastic actions he first sends kisame to capture b and then sends taka to attack the five kage summit sasuke doesn't perform as well against the five kage as obito wished as he had hoped they would be weakened enough to be forced to negotiate instead he must approach them diplomatically asking that they help him complete his eye of the moon plan by surrendering the a tales and ninetails they refuse prompting obito to initiate the fourth shinobi world war while preparing for war obito is approached by kabuto yakushi a former subordinate of sasuri and orochimaru kapito offers the bolster akoski's fighting strength with the impure world reincarnation reviving akatsuki's past members and several other once notable shinobi obito is reluctant until kabuto blackmails him by reviving the real modera uchiha whose name obito had been banking the credibility of his threats against the hidden villages obito is forced to agree he then goes to amigakore to take nagato's rinagan killing conan in the process news eventually reaches them of kisame's death but kisame is at least able to send them intel that enables kabuto to strengthen obito's white satsu army and the two days of the war between the akatsuki and the allied shinobi forces both sides suffer heavy casualties yet naruto and killer b elude capture when most of the white tsetsu are defeated and kabuto is made to end the impure world reincarnation obito having no more options naturally prematurely revives the ten tales matara having escaped kapito's influence lends a decree of support eventually leading obito to become the ten tales jin churiki he is defeated by naruto uzumaki and sasuke who has since cited against the ikatsuki before he can perform the infinite tsukiomi and as a result obito stops pursuing the eye of the moon plan with obito surrender akatsuki's schemes officially end following his defeat obito undergoes a change of heart thanks to both naruto and kakashi's influence and obito attempts to redeem himself by using the samsara of heavenly life technique to revive everyone he killed during the war however his attempts are foiled by black zetsu who latched itself onto obito and forces him to indeed utilize the technique but instead of reviving those killed during the war black zetsu successfully forces obito to fully revive modera matara's plans are momentarily set back however as his rinigon eyes start to crumble away due to his original eyes being elsewhere you know his left eye being in obito's possession and his right eye being hidden away by obito himself please watch the life of maduro chiha another video i did as his reincarnated eyes were merely part of his reincarnated body nevertheless matara quickly regains possession of his right eye and successfully perseveres sealing the tent tails into his body afterwards matara engages in battle against mike gai who receives a boost in power from opening the eight gates released formation whom matara barely manages to survive against matara subsequently battles against both naruto and sasuke who gained six paths sinjutsu and rinagan respectively from hagaroma osotsuki during which moderate regains possession of his left eye from obito with both eyes returned modera subsequently awakens the renaissance and successfully launches the infinite tsukiomi however he is afterwards betrayed by black zetsu who had been scheming for centuries to revive kagyotsutsuki with first modera then obito and then akatsuki itself being mere pawns used in pursuit of that goal kagia is restored using modera as a medium but with obito and team seven's efforts she and black setsu are defeated by naruto and sasuke after which moderate succumbs to having the tail beasts extracted and the infinite tsukiomi is ended by the combined efforts of naruto and sasuke the shins akatsuki despite the defeat of katsuki during the 4th shinobi world war and the death and destruction they caused akatsuki's methods of peace remain attractive to certain individuals some such as ryuha armament alliance and gengo carry on akatsuki's goals in spirit about 15 years after the end of the war a former test subject of orochimaru's shin develops a fascination with hitachi and adopts the uchiha name while plotting to avenge itachi by killing sasuke in addition shin goes so far as to adopt akatsuki's name believing its former goal of endless warfare is the perfect evolutionary tool weeding out the weak and promoting strength for all humanity he composes akatsuki with numerous clones of himself and seeks to start moving forward with akatsuki's revival shin's plans start facing complications as soon as the 7th hokage becomes aware of him following an encounter between sasuke and a clone shin uses drastic measures to counter naruto and sasuke such as sending his clones to unsuccessfully kidnap sasuke's daughter sarah uchiha and forcefully take his wife sakura shin is soon afterwards betrayed and killed by his clones who accordingly surrender and are dropped off at the konaha orphanage ending his new akatsuki before it ever truly begins did you enjoy our video be sure to check out these other great videos from the amagi and make sure to subscribe and ring that bell
