The Akatsuki is a notorious criminal organization in the Naruto series, created by Masashi Kishimoto. Initially led by Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, they aimed to bring peace to the ninja world by collecting the Tailed Beasts, legendary creatures with immense power. However, their goals take a dark turn after Yahiko's death and Nagato's manipulation by Uchiha Obito (Tobi). Tobi, revealed as Uchiha Madara, takes control and plans to capture the Tailed Beasts to achieve the Tsuki no Me (Eye of the Moon) Jutsu, granting him world control. Throughout the series, Akatsuki members, each with unique abilities, battle Naruto and his fellow ninjas. As the story unfolds, the organization's true objectives and members' tragic pasts are revealed, adding complexity to the narrative. Some members seek redemption, while others remain loyal to Madara's plans. The Akatsuki's role is central until the end of the original series, with Naruto and allies confronting Madara and Obito to thwart their evil schemes. The Akatsuki's story is marked by twists, tragedies, and iconic moments, making it a vital part of the Naruto universe, continuing in "Naruto: Shippuden" and "Boruto: Naruto Next Generations."
