Akatsuki is not just another group of rogue Shinobis; Here's the history you should definitely know
Akatsuki in Naruto Naruto Shippuden has blessed us with a lot of content to talk about for ages. And the factions introduced in the anime were a little more than legendary. One such organisation in the anime is Akatsuki - a criminal organisation that brings the rogue shinobis from different villages together. The had a philosophical approach towards the world, and the reason behind their world domination was to attain peace and end all the wars. Without any further ado, let's have a look at the approach of Akatsuki and why it is not just another terror organisation. Akatsuki: One of the most legendary factions in the Naruto universe Akatsuki has its headquarters based in the Hidden Rain Village and was founded by Yahiko. The goal of the organisation was to stop all the ongoing wars and then instil peace in the shinobi world. The reason behind the same is that the Hidden Rain village bore the brunt of the war and bled for a long time. To make this stop once and for all, Yahiko, along with his friends Konan and Nagato, started the Akatsuki to instil peace. However, Akatsuki became a pain in the eyes of Amegakure leaders Danzo Shimura and Hanzo the Salamander. They made Yahiko take a difficult decision - get killed or see Konan getting killed. And Yahiko, being the legendary leader he was, sacrificed his life to let Konan live. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo This triggers the Rinnegan in Nagato, and the rest is history.

And to be precise, they were never a terror organisation nor did they aim to be one. They just wanted to make humanity work together and remove all the reasons that can give birth to a war.

Uzumaki clan in Naruto Shippuden produced some of the greatest Shinobis: Here's a brief history
Uzumaki clan in Naruto Naruto Shippuden introduced some of the most dangerous and powerful clans like the Uchihas, Senjus, Sarutobis, and Uzumaki. And today, we will focus on the clan of Naruto, the Uzumaki clan, which was a great ally of Konohagakure. One of the most important points here is that the Uzumaki clan is a distant relative of the Senjus (yes, Hashirama and Naruto are connected in that way). The clan was immensely popular for their Funjutsu or you can say the sealing techniques. Let's take a deep dive in the history and prominent members of one of the most powerful clans of Naruto Shippuden. Uzumaki clan in Naruto Shippuden - History, members, and more The Uzumaki clan has been represented in the show with the spiral red logo, and most of the members of the clan have red hair. The chakra of the clan members is something that can never be questioned, as they can even contain tailed beasts (the prominent examples are Kushina and Naruto). As for the history, they used to reside in the Land of Whirlpools and served as go-tos for Konoha people who wanted to use sealing techniques. And to strengthen the ties between the two places (Konoha and Land of Whirlpools), the first hokage of Konoha, Hashirama Senju, married Mito Uzumaki. However, they were a big threat to other villages, and this gave birth to a lot of envy. Then, all other villages collaborated and took down the village of Uzumakis. Survivors from the village either left the country or went to Konoha. Some of the most prominent members of the clan are Kushina Uzumaki (mother of Naruto), Naruto Uzumaki (our OG protagonist), Mito Uzumaki (the first hokage's wife), Karin Uzumaki (subordinate of Orochimaru), and more.

How impactful was Asuma Sensei's character in Naruto? Explained
Asuma Sensei in Naruto Naruto Shippuden was definitely focused on the protagonist. But the way other characters got their fair share of screen time and more is more than amazing. Whether we talk about the students, Senseis, Clans, or Hokages, the show tried to leave no stone unturned. Talking about characters, Asuma Sarutobi was the kind of man who left a strong impact on the story, the audience, and whatnot. If you haven't been a fan of him then you deserve to know more about the legend and know why he has a cult following. Moving forward, we will discuss Asuma sensei and his impact on other characters. Asuma Sarutobi - One of the greatest sensei in Naruto universe To start with, Asuma Sarutobi was the son of the third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi (too big of a responsibility for sure). He was the leader of Team 10 consisting of Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino. All those who admire him as a leader already know that Asuma sensei was the Twelve Guardian Ninja who protected the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. If you spot Asuma without a cigarette in the show then that's already an achievement. However, things went south for him in the battle against Akatsuki members Kazaku and Hidan. And it ended very badly for him as he lost his life by getting trapped in the ritual circle. His death could be considered a life-changing event for Team 10, especially Shikamaru. After these events, Shikamaru slips into depression as he really respects and loves Asuma. The same thing works to motivate Shikamaru and he takes revenge for his sensei's death. Talking about Asuma's impact, his students become some of the strongest Ninjas in Konoha along with contributing to the fourth Shinobi war as well. Here we would like to end this by saying Asuma somewhere got shadowed by his father. And considering the show's tonality, a little more was expected from the son of a hokage. Two Akatsuki members were enough to eradicate someone like Asuma - this is something that will always be a hard pill to digest for the fans. Also Read: Why did Itachi kill his clan?
