Main characters
The main characters of the Naruto series are part of Team 7, a group of ninja affiliated with the village of Konohagakure.
After Sasuke Uchiha's departure from Konohagakure at the end of Part I,
the team disbands. During Part II, the team reforms as Team Kakashi
with two new members: Sai, who occupies Sasuke's position, and Yamato, who acts as assistant leader.[ch. 285].
Until during Fourth Shinobi World War, same time after Sasuke redeemed
himself for listening about Konohagakure Foundation's history from the
first Hokage Hashirama, the original Team 7 has been reformed.
Naruto Uzumaki
Main article: Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto Uzumaki (うずまき ナルト Uzumaki Naruto) is the titular protagonist
of the series. He was the first character created by Kishimoto during
the conception of the series, and was designed with many traits from
other shōnen characters.[7] In the series, Naruto has ambitions of becoming Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure. He is often ridiculed by the Konoha villagers, as he is the host of Kurama, the nine-tailed fox that attacked Konoha.[ch. 2]
He compensates for this with his cheerful and boisterous personality,
vowing to never give up on any goal he sets. Over the course of the
series, Naruto befriends many foreign and Konoha people, and has a
significantly positive impact on their lives to the point where, by the
middle of Part II, he is seen as an international hero. He develops an
especially close relationship with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, two
of his fellow ninja in Team 7.[ch. 237] Naruto's voice actor in the Japanese anime is Junko Takeuchi, and he is voiced by Maile Flanagan in the English adaptation.[12][13]
Sasuke Uchiha
Main article: Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha (うちは サスケ Uchiha Sasuke) is Naruto's rival and the deuteragonist
during the beginning of Part I, designed by Kishimoto to be the "cool
genius" as he saw it to be an integral part of an ideal rivalry.[1] He is one of the few remaining members of the Uchiha clan along with his brother, Itachi Uchiha, who killed the rest of their family.[ch. 224]
Because of this, Sasuke's sole desire is to kill his brother, and he
develops a cold and withdrawn personality, seeing people as tools to
further his goals, although also gaining the affection of most of the
girls he knew, much to his annoyance. When made a member to Team 7,
Sasuke seems to began to consider them precious to the point of risking
his life to protect them, while focusing less on revenge at the start of
the series. Following an encounter and subsequent defeat at the hands
of his brother in Part I, however, Sasuke severs his ties and leaves the
village to seek more power from criminal organizations,[ch. 237] subsequently becoming the main and most personal antagonist of the series as a whole and severely impacting Team 7. In the Japanese anime, Sasuke is voiced by Noriaki Sugiyama, and his English voice actor is Yuri Lowenthal.[12][13]
Sakura Haruno
Main article: Sakura Haruno
Sakura Haruno (春野 サクラ Haruno Sakura)
is the primary love interest. Kishimoto created her as the heroine of
the series, although he has admitted that he has little perception of
what an ideal heroine should be.[1]
As a child, Sakura was taunted by other children because of her large
forehead, a feature Kishimoto has tried to emphasize in Sakura's
appearances. She was comforted by Ino Yamanaka.[14]
As the two continued to grow, however, they became increasingly distant
due to their shared affection for Sasuke Uchiha. During the early of
Part I, Sakura is infatuated with Sasuke for his well-rounded physical
characteristics to the point of obsession, and looks down upon Naruto
for being idiotic.[ch. 3]
In Part II, however, after Sasuke leaves the village, Sakura and Naruto
become best friends. In the Japanese anime, her voice actress is Chie Nakamura, and she is voiced by Kate Higgins in the English adaptation.[12][15]
Kakashi Hatake
Main article: Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi Hatake (はたけ カカシ Hatake Kakashi) is the leader of Team 7 and the sensei
to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Kishimoto had originally intended for
Kakashi to be introduced earlier in the series than he actually was, and
created him as an easygoing person that would be able to keep the
members of Team 7 in check.[8]
Kakashi treats his leadership position with a mysterious, detached
manner, and is consistently late to meetings as a result. During a gaiden on his past, Kakashi is revealed to been trained by Naruto's father during the Third Great Ninja War and obtained his Sharingan eye from one of his teammates, Obito Uchiha.[ch. 243] Kakashi's Japanese voice actor in the anime is Kazuhiko Inoue, and his English voice actor is Dave Wittenberg.[12][16]
Antagonists
Zabuza Momochi
Zabuza Momochi (桃地 再不斬 Momochi Zabuza) is a former member of Kirigakure's
Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, a group of ninja that use particularly
large swords in battle. Zabuza possesses a sword called Kubikiri Bōchō (首斬り包丁, lit. Decapitating Knife). After a failed coup d'état
wherein he tried to assassinate the Fourth Mizukage, Zabuza and his
followers fled the village and began working as mercenary assassins.[ch. 30] He also takes in a young boy, Haku, as his apprentice, mostly treating him as a tool although he ultimately does care for him.[ch. 32] Zabuza is skilled in water-based abilities, but his area of expertise is in assassinations in areas covered by mist.[ch. 26]
His talents lead to his commission by a criminal named Gato to kill a
man named Tazuna, which he is unable to perform due to interference by
Tazuna's bodyguard, Kakashi Hatake.
Because he takes too long to complete the task, his contract is
revoked, and his employer tries to have Zabuza killed. Having been
redeemed by Naruto, Zabuza kills him first, though is mortally wounded
and dies soon afterwards.[ch. 32] He is one of the shinobi resurrected by Kabuto to fight on the Akatsuki side and is defeated, being released from Kabuto's control in a rematch with Kakashi.[ch. 516, 524] In the Japanese anime, his voice actor is Unshō Ishizuka, and his English voice actor is Steven Blum.[17]
Haku
Haku (白) is Zabuza Momochi's
most faithful follower. Before he started working for Zabuza, Haku
lived as an orphan. His father killed his mother when it was discovered
that he possessed a genetic ability, Hyōton (氷遁, lit. "Ice Release"), which allows him to mix wind and water elements to create ice,[ch. 24]
and Haku then killed him. After wandering from place to place for a
time he was found by Zabuza. He recognized Haku's talents and agreed to
take him in as a tool. As a result, Haku becomes unquestioningly
protective of and loyal to Zabuza, and only by being useful does he find
a purpose in life.[ch. 29]
Haku later meets Naruto while he is training (with Naruto initially
thinking Haku was a pretty girl), and the two bond over their bonds
(Haku's with Zabuza, Naruto's with Sakura). On this same mission, Haku
ultimately gives his life in his mission to be useful to Zabuza,
becoming a human shield to protect his master from Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade,
becoming the first casualty in the series. This is not in vain,
however, as a saddened Naruto uses Haku's death to redeem Zabuza.[ch. 30] Haku is resurrected by Kabuto later in the series to fight in the Shinobi World War until being sealed by the alliance.[ch. 516, 524] His voice actress in the Japanese anime is Mayumi Asano, and his English voice actress is Susan Dalian. Mona Marshall voiced Haku as a child.
Orochimaru
Main article: Orochimaru
Orochimaru (大蛇丸)
is a criminal who was previously affiliated with Konohagakure. He
serves as the principal villain of Part I. To emphasize his role as a
villain, Kishimoto worked towards making him appear "pasty and sickly"
as part of his theme of distinguishing villains from the protagonists.[18] In the series, Orochimaru is a former ninja of Konohagakure and a student of the Third Hokage.
During his time in the village, he distinguished himself as one of the
village's most powerful ninja along with his teammates, Jiraiya and Tsunade.[ch. 170]
His desire to obtain immortality led him to conduct experiments on
other Konohagakure ninja, and to establish his own ninja village, Otogakure, as both his personal laboratory to continue his work and to amass a personal army to destroy Konoha with.[ch. 69]
His immortality technique involves transferring his consciousness
between different host bodies, and his desire for a new host,
particularly Sasuke Uchiha, is one of his driving motivations throughout
most of the series.[ch. 238]
Because of his different host bodies and the disguises he assumes, a
panoply of voice actors are used for Orochimaru; his most common voice
actor in the Japanese anime is Kujira, and his corresponding English voice actor is Steven Blum.[17][19]
Kabuto Yakushi
Kabuto Yakushi (薬師 カブト Yakushi Kabuto)
is a spy working for Orochimaru, though he acts on his own whims. As a
child with no memory of his past, he was found on a battlefield by a nun
from Konohagakure who raised him before he was recruited by the Foundation as a spy for the village to infiltrate numerous countries and organizations.[ch. 289, 583]
However, after the Foundation found him a risk to be kept alive for
knowing too many secrets, Kabuto left with Orochimaru after being
promised an identity he can call his own.[ch. 584] Using his former affiliations, and infiltrating the Akatsuki,
Kabuto gathers intelligence on Orochimaru's behalf; for instance, he
participates in the bi-annual Chunin Exams as a Konoha representative to
gather information on his fellow participants.[ch. 88]
Highly proficient with medical techniques and genetic manipulation,
Kabuto devises means to heal wounds by reactivating dead cells to grow
new ones and can form a scalpel with chakra to deal surgical strikes to his opponents.[ch. 164]
In Part II, after his mentor's defeat by Sasuke, Kabuto integrates
some of Orochimaru's remains into his body to become powerful enough to
not serve anyone again.[ch. 357] Once perfecting the Reanimation Jutsu, Kabuto forces Obito Uchiha into a tenuous alliance with him under the promise that he can have Sasuke once they win the war against the Ninja Alliance.[ch. 520]
However, during the second day of the Fourth Great Ninja War, Itachi
manages to break free of Kabuto's control and ends up forcing him to end
the Reanimation Jutsu, with Kabuto eventually deciding to return to the
home he left behind. In the Japanese anime, Kabuto is voiced by Nobutoshi Canna, and his English voice actor is Henry Dittman.[20][21]
Sound Four
The Sound Four (音隠れの忍四人衆 Otogakure no Shinobi Yonin Shū, lit. "Hidden Sound Shinobi Four People", English TV: "Sound Ninja Four") are Orochimaru's elite bodyguards. The group was originally known as the "Sound Five" as they were forced to accept Kimimaro (君麻呂),
the last of the Kaguya Clan who has his kin's ability to manipulate his
bone structure, as leader after he defeated the entire group in battle.
After Kimimaro became bedridden due to his illness, the group resumed
calling themselves the Sound Four.[ch. 201] As a group they specialize in barriers, defensive walls, sealing techniques as well as possessing their own individual unique techniques and Curse Marks that increase their strengths.[ch. 184]
The group is composed of Jirobo (次郎坊 Jirōbō), a large-sized man who specializes in absorbing chakra and close-quarters combat,[ch. 187] Kidomaru (鬼童丸 Kidōmaru), a six-armed ninja who can produce spider-webs to fight and specialized in ranged combat,[ch. 192] Sakon (左近) and twin brother Ukon (右近), who are the strongest of the Sound Four and count as one member due to their merging abilities,[ch. 203,204] and Tayuya (多由也), a woman that uses a flute to control summoned Ogres and cast illusions.[ch. 206]
Though introduced during Orochimaru's invasion of Konohagakure, the
Sound Four do not become a prominent part of the story until sent by
their leader to escort Sasuke Uchiha to him. Even with Kimimaro joining
the group to ensure Sasuke's passage to Orochimaru, the Sound Five all
died in the process [ch. 184, 217] During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Kimimaro is revived by Kabuto for the war against the allied Shinobi Forces.[ch. 515]
In the anime adaptation, unaware that Kabuto brought them back instead
of Orochimaru, the Sound Four were also reanimated and were allowed to
act on their impulse for revenge before being defeated. It was also at
the time of the war's climax that Kabuto reveals that he assimilated the
Sound Five's DNA to access their abilities.[ch. 585]
Akatsuki
Akatsuki (暁, lit. "Dawn" or "Daybreak") is an organization of criminal ninja that serves as the primary antagonistic force of the Naruto series. It was founded by Yahiko, Nagato and Konan under instruction from Obito Uchiha.
After Yahiko's death, it was led by Obito with Nagato as the figurehead
leader. The Akatsuki's goal is world domination by using the power of
the nine Tailed Beasts.[ch. 239]
The members of Akatsuki are ninja who have abandoned their villages,
and are considered by their former homes to be S-class criminals, the
most powerful and wanted ninja in the Naruto universe. At any
given time, Akatsuki is composed of ten members, who operate in two-man
teams; it was later reduced to nine after Orochimaru's departure. Aside from an attempt by members Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki to capture Kurama (the nine-tailed fox sealed within Naruto Uzumaki), Akatsuki is not prominently featured in Part I.[ch. 143] In Part II, they take a more active role, capturing Gaara and extracting the one-tailed tanuki, Shukaku, from his body, as well as working towards capturing the remaining Tailed Beasts.[ch. 261] Kishimoto called the Akatsuki's members antiheroes
as he wished to expand their backgrounds as much as the ones from the
series' protagonists, contrasting them with other types of villains.[22]
Itachi Uchiha
Main article: Itachi Uchiha
Itachi Uchiha (うちは イタチ Uchiha Itachi)
is a former ninja of Konohagakure and the partner of Kisame Hoshigaki.
Though having spent his early youth as the child prodigy of the Uchiha
clan, Itachi is treated as a villain for much of the series. He is
initially portrayed as being solely responsible for the killing of his
entire clan and family, sparing only his brother, Sasuke Uchiha, with
the explanation that he was testing his abilities.[ch. 224]
Around the time of his death his villainous role is downplayed; not
only is he revealed to offer help to Obito Uchiha in killing the clan,
but he performed the massacre under the orders of Konoha's leadership so
as to prevent an Uchiha coup d'état.[ch. 400] In the Japanese anime, Itachi's voice actor is Hideo Ishikawa.[23] His first voice actor in the English anime was Skip Stellrecht, who voiced Itachi in episodes 29 and 30, but in all following appearances, he has been voiced by Crispin Freeman.[24]
Kisame Hoshigaki
Kisame Hoshigaki (干柿 鬼鮫 Hoshigaki Kisame) is a former ninja of Kirigakure
and partnered to Itachi Uchiha, having a unique appearance with pale
blue skin, a gill-like facial structure, and sharp triangular teeth.
While he was still loyal to Kirigakure, Kisame was one of the Seven
Swordsmen of the Mist, a group of violent ninja that use particularly
large swords in battle. His sword, Samehada (鮫肌 "Sharkskin" in Shippuden), is a living weapon covered in scales that can absorb untold amounts of an opponent's chakra.
Only allowing those it sees as worthy to wield it, Samehada can provide
the user with the chakra it holds, ensuring him an infinite amount of
stamina. Kisame himself has massive amounts of chakra,[ch. 142]
and by fusing Samehada into him, Kisame can assume a more shark-like
form that increases his abilities. In battle, he frequently shapes water
into the forms of sharks to damage opponents.[ch. 258] After discarding Samehada when it chose Killer Bee
over him, Kisame is decapitated by Killer Bee and the Raikage. It is
later revealed that the decapitation was just a shapeshifting technique
performed by Zetsu; the real Kisame having hidden inside Samehada.[ch. 487] He attempts to flee from the ninjas but is defeated by Might Guy
and captured. Kisame commits suicide by summoning sharks and allowing
them to eat him, but not before using one of them to steal back the
information he had compiled and send it to the Akatsuki.[ch. 508] His voice actor in the Japanese anime was the late Tomoyuki Dan,[23] and his English voice actor is Kirk Thornton.
Deidara
Deidara (デイダラ) is a former ninja of Iwagakure,
having previously left the village after bombing it. He was a terrorist
bomber-for-hire before Itachi Uchiha forced him to join Akatsuki.
Though he came to embrace the organization, Deidara still holds a grudge
against Itachi and all other Uchihas throughout the series, as he feels
their Sharingan eyes look down on his artwork.[ch. 359] Upon joining the Akatsuki, he is partnered with Sasori,
who is subsequently replaced by Tobi after his death. Though he abuses
Obito when he annoys him, Deidara becomes more like a teacher to Tobi,
and adopts a genuine care for his well-being.[ch. 366]
Each of Deidara's hands have mouths on them that, by infusing clay or
other fine-grained minerals with chakra, create "sculptures", bombs that
explode with varying intensities. Deidara's bombs can take any form he
chooses, and from the time of their creation to their detonation, he can
animate and control them remotely.[ch. 248]
Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi's younger brother, is able to systematically
nullify his bombs in combat, and so Deidara transforms himself into a living bomb in a last effort to kill Sasuke and to prove the supremacy of his art, but fails in the attempt.[ch. 363] He is later resurrected by Kabuto for the war against the Shinobi Alliance but is defeated by Kankuro.[ch. 520] His voice actor in the Japanese anime is Katsuhiko Kawamoto.[25] In his cameo appearance in episode 135 of the English adaptation, he is voiced by Quinton Flynn,[26] and in the anime of Shippuden by Roger Craig Smith.
Sasori
Sasori (サソリ) is a former ninja of Sunagakure and known as "Sasori of the Red Sand" (赤砂のサソリ Akasuna no Sasori).
His parents were killed by Sakumo Hatake, also known as the White Fang
of Konoha. This left him in the care of his grandmother, Chiyo who taught Sasori the art of puppetry,
which he refined to fit his needs over the years. In due time he
secretly devised a way to convert the corpses of humans into puppets,
allowing him to use any of the ninja abilities
they possessed during their lives for himself. Sasori left Sunagakure
when he got older and joined Akatsuki where he is initially partnered
with Orochimaru.[ch. 267] Sasori teamed with Deidara, who looks up to him and his artistic knowledge with reverence.[ch. 248] [ch. 263]
In time he even converted his own body into a puppet, which essentially
gives him eternal life and allows him to control hundreds of puppets at
once.[ch. 271]
Sakura and Chiyo eventually destroy his heart, the only part of his
humanity he kept when converting himself to a puppet, resulting in his
death, but not before telling Sakura about his rendezvous with one of
Orochimaru's henchmen who had been working for him as a spy.[ch. 464]
After being resurrected by Kabuto, Sasori fights Kankuro who convinces
him to be at peace with himself. Sasori comes to terms with his life and
is finally able to pass on and rest in peace. In the Japanese anime,
Sasori is voiced by Akiko Yajima as a child and by Takahiro Sakurai as an adult. In the English version he is voiced by Kari Wahlgren and as an adult he is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch. His scorpion-like puppet body, Hiruko, is voiced by Yutaka Aoyama in the Japanese version and in the English version by J. B. Blanc.[25]
Zetsu
Zetsu (ゼツ)
is the only member of the Akatsuki to regularly act without a partner,
also being the only nonhuman member and Obito's right hand. Originally,
Kaguya created a shadow-like symbiotic entity known as Black Zetsu (黒ゼツ Kuro Zetsu)
to manipulate her grandson Indra and his descendants throughout history
so one among them can manifest a Rinnegan and free his creator. Black
Zetsu succeeds with Madara, whom he deceived into believing that he
created his host White Zetsu (白ゼツ Shiro Zetsu),
who like his assumed clone brothers was actually a human who mutated as
a result of being assimilated by the Ten Tails during Kaguya's Infinite
Tsukuyomi ages ago. Though he and White Zetsu are effective in their
symbiosis, Black Zetsu occasionally argued with his easygoing host. As
White Zetsu is an extension of the Shinju, he can merge into the ground
or vegetation to quickly travel to a new location or separate himself
from Black Zetsu and uses spores to create clones of himself or whoever
he touches.[ch. 289]
This makes Zetsu not only of use to the Akatsuki as a spy, but also to
devour bodies of deceased Akatsuki members or those that the
organization does not want found.[ch. 255, 261]
After White Zetsu is killed off during the Fourth Great Ninja War while
sent after the Feudal Lords, Black Zetsu went into hiding until he
later merges himself onto Obito to force the human into resurrecting
Madara.[ch. 575,656]
But ultimately, once Project Tsuki no Me ran its course, Black Zetsu
reveals his true identity as he proceeds to betray Madara by fusing onto
him to convert the human into a new body for Kaguya to inhabit.[ch. 674]
Revealing his role in the conflict between the Senju and Uchiha as he
helps Kaguya deal with Naruto and Sasuke, Black Zetsu is eventually
ripped away from his creator when Naruto severs Kaguya's arm. As Kaguya
is sealed, thinking he would have to start all over again before the
youth grabs him, Naruto throws the limb holding Black Zetsu into the
forming moon so he would trapped with his creator.[ch. 681, 688, 690]
As Kishimoto originally planned Akatsuki to be a group of individuals
with close to no human characteristics, he decided to make Zetsu half
black and half white to emphasize his split personality.[27] In the Japanese anime, Zetsu is voiced by Nobuo Tobita, who also voices Guruguru and the White Zetsu Army.[23] In episode 134 of the English adaptation, Black Zetsu is voiced by Michael Sorich and White Zetsu by Brian Beacock, though in the English Shippuden anime both halves are voiced by Travis Willingham.[28]
Obito Uchiha
Obito Uchiha (うちは オビト Uchiha Obito), also known under his alias Tobi (トビ)
is the true leader of Akatsuki. He is originally Kakashi Hatake's
teammate who gives him his Sharingan before his presumed death in the
Third Great Ninja War. As a child, Obito dreamed of becoming Hokage and
was ultimately assigned to a team composing of himself, Kakashi and a
young medical-nin named Rin Nohara with Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze
leading the team. During the Third Great Ninja War, Rin was kidnapped
with Obito and Kakashi rescuing her from rogue ninja although Obito was
left paralyzed and near death after having the right side of his body
crushed in a landslide. It was at that moment that he gave Kakashi his
Sharingan which Rin later transplanted into Kakaski's left eye which had
been permanently scarred when a rival ninja had attacked him. Despite
their grief over what had happened, Rin and Kakashi were forced to flee
when more reinforcements arrived, destroying the cave and presumably
killing Obito. In reality, Madara Uchiha saves him and takes him as his
apprentice after the youth who had high hopes of returning home in spite
of the grave injuries he had sustained witnesses Kakashi kill Rin
caused by the actions of the ninja villages' conduct.[ch. 602, 606]
Obito serves a behind-the-scenes role throughout the first half of Part
II and caused most of the tragic events that occurred prior to the
series, including the Nine-Tails attack.[ch. 501] Other than being able to use his right Sharingan to manipulate Kamui in a fashion that made it seem he is intangible and teleport over great distances, Obito can use Wood Style attacks as he possesses Hashirama's blood.[ch. 310, 395]
Creating the identity of Tobi to take an active role in the
organization, Obito joins the Akatsuki as Sasori's carefree replacement
and Deidara's partner. After Deidara's death, Obito takes a special interest in Sasuke Uchiha, taking him under his wing.[ch. 364]
After Nagato's death, Obito reveals his mentor's Eye of the Moon Plan
to the Kage, so, as the resurrected Ten-Tails's host, he can cast an
eternal illusion called the Infinite Tsukuyomi (無限月読 Mugen Tsukuyomi)
to subjugate all life. After the Kage refuse to surrender to him, Obito
declares the Fourth Great Ninja War and ends up forming a reluctant
alliance with Kabuto Yakushi who blackmails him with a reanimated Madara.[ch. 467,490]
He retrieves Nagato's Rinnegan to replace his replacement Sharingan. He
also converts the reanimated corpses of the captured Jinchuriki into
his personal Six Paths of Pain so he can use the captured Tailed Beasts'
power through them.[ch. 510, 544] During the ensuing war, Madara is revealed and Obito's true identity is exposed.[ch. 560] Mortally wounded by Kakashi, Obito becomes the Ten Tails host himself.[ch. 637]
From there, Obito is defeated by Naruto and Sasuke aided by the Allied
Shinobi Forces, who extract the Tailed Beasts from the Shinju.[ch. 654,655]
Shortly afterwards, a guilt-driven Obito attempts to make up for his
past actions by reviving everyone who died in the war. However, Black
Zetsu binds himself on Obito to force him to resurrect Madara instead.
Now on the verge of death, but managing to restrain Black Zetsu to keep
the parasite from returning to Madara with the Rinnegan, Obito betrays
Madara to save Naruto's life.[ch. 656, 665]
But Obito's defiance is short-lived; he ends up in a comatose state
after Madara uses the eye he gave Kakashi to reach him and forcefully
exchange left eyes, with Black Zetsu leaving him soon after.[ch. 674] Naruto uses his power to restore Obito back to life, with Obito using his full Sharingan abilities to help Sakura find Sasuke.[ch. 682, 685]
However, Obito sacrifices himself to protect Kakashi from Kaguya's
attack and dies thanking his friend and Naruto for reminding him of his
true self.[ch. 686, 687]
However, Obito's spirit remains among the living long enough to aid
Kakashi by momentarily giving him his chakra and Sharingan. Once the
battle against Kaguya ends, Obito passes on to the next life.
Obito in his Tobi persona was Kishimoto's favorite Akatsuki character at the time to draw, due to his simple mask.[29] In the Japanese anime, Obito is voiced by Wataru Takagi, while Naoya Uchida voiced his Madara guise. In his youth, he is voiced by Sōsuke Komori, with Megumi Han taking over the position in 343.[12][30] In the English anime, Obito is voiced by Todd Haberkorn with Neil Kaplan voicing his Madara persona, Michael Yurchak voicing his Tobi persona, and Vic Mignogna voicing him in his youth.[31] Also, Nolan North does Obito in his Madara guise in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
Hidan
Hidan (飛段) is the immortal, foul-mouthed, and sadomasochistic partner of Kakuzu and a former ninja of Yugakure, the Village Hidden in Boiling Water.[32] He is a member of the Jashin (ジャシン, lit. "evil god")
religion which worships a deity of the same name and believes that
anything less than death and utter destruction in battle is considered a
sin.[ch. 313]
His religion's experimentations have led to the creation of his unique
abilities; by consuming an opponent's blood and then drawing Jashin's
triangular symbol on the ground, Hidan can create a link with his
opponent. Once this link is created, any damage done to Hidan's body is
reflected on his opponent, allowing him to kill them by giving himself
fatal injuries. Though his immortality keeps him from dying or suffer
any impairment, Hidan feels his victims suffering with an excitement
bordering on arousal. [ch. 325] After Hidan used this ability to kill Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara
fights him to avenge his teacher. Their battle culminates in Hidan
being blown up, and Shikamaru burying his still-speaking remains in a
place that the Akatsuki will never be able to reach.[ch. 339] As such, Hidan is no longer considered a member by the rest of the Akatsuki.[ch. 353] In the Japanese version of the anime, Hidan is voiced by Masaki Terasoma.[23] In the English version, he is voiced by Chris Edgerly and in Naruto Shippūden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 by Wally Wingert.[33]
Kakuzu
Kakuzu (角都) is the partner of Hidan and a former ninja of Takigakure, the Village Hidden in the Waterfalls. Kakuzu is motivated by greed and joins the Akatsuki to seek out valuable bounties.
However, his extreme temperament led Kakuzu to dislike having a partner
and eventually killing whomever he is partnered with in a fit of rage,
being paired up with the immortal Hidan as a result.[ch. 322]
Kakuzu's body is composed of large amounts of black threads, allowing
him to reattach any body part, being his or another, back onto its
owner. The threads are also capable of piercing flesh, which Kakuzu uses
to remove the still-beating hearts of his opponents for his personal
use and integrates their hearts into his body to extend his life
indefinitely.[34]
Kakuzu can store up to four spare hearts in animal masks that are sewn
to his back, which can be detached during combat situations to shoot
elemental blasts at his opponents, and quickly recalled to his body if
he needs a replacement heart.[ch. 336]
Kakuzu's hearts are systematically destroyed soon after his
introduction by a group of Konohagakure ninja. After Naruto Uzumaki
leaves his final heart on the brink of failure, Kakuzu is easily
finished off by Kakashi.[ch. 342]
After being resurrected by Kabuto, he is sent out to participate in the
war until being sealed. In the Japanese anime, Kakuzu's Japanese voice
actor is Takaya Hashi and in the English version he is voiced by Fred Tatasciore.[23]
