Each member had a unique backstory, and several of them left the organization to become heroes.

White Zetsu's strength lies in his unique genetic composition and ability to utilize advanced Wood Release methods. He can easily manoeuvre solid surfaces with his Mayfly technique. Despite White Zetsu's unique skills, he lacks dependable battle power but is highly reliable for intel gathering and surveillance.
19. Kie
Kie is among the original Akatsuki members who tried to prevent larger nations from ruining the Hidden Rain Village. The character had little screen time, and it is not known what kind of ninja abilities he had. He was eventually defeated by Madara Uchiha.
18. Diabutsu
Diabutsu was also a member of the original Akatsuki. He managed to defeat Madara Uchiha but was taken down by Zetsu and Tobi. He had the strength to handle giant weapons in battle, but his basic ninja abilities did not give him a chance against stronger opponents.
17. Kyusuke

Kyusuke is among the strongest members of the first generation Akatsuki. His main abilities are speed, impressive sword techniques, and higher-level nature transformation methods. Despite being one of the strongest ninjas, he does not stand a chance against super-elite opponents like Tobi.
16. Júzó Biwa

Júzó Biwa from the second generation is known for his eye-catching water techniques that he uses to surprise opponents and then attack them with his signature Kubikiribóchó blade. He can also easily handle a giant sword during battle. However, he is still among the weakest Akatsuki members and can easily be taken down.
15. Yahiko

Yahiko possessed wind, fire, and water nature affinities. He also learnt ninjutsu techniques from Sannin Jiraiya, which gave him the ability to command an entire army of ninjas. He was instrumental in giving Akatsuki a strong foundation.
14. Hidan

Hidan had two major strengths, his immortality and the ability to transform into a voodoo doll that fights the opponent, given he is within a special symbol. However, his strengths are also his weaknesses. If the opponent knows his abilities, they can easily defeat him before he strikes.
13. Sasori

Sasori's ninja abilities lie in his puppetry techniques. Being the greatest puppet master in the whole of Naruto, he is able to control a huge army of puppets made from humans. He also easily transforms his body into a puppet, thus becoming immune to poison and attacks as long as his flesh core is not touched. However, he can only defeat an opponent if he catches them unprepared. If the enemy knows his puppet technique, they can easily overpower him.
12. Deidara

Deidara specializes in making explosives for mass destruction. He combines lighting and earth elements and then uses his many mouths to transform clay into moving explosives that he controls with his powerful chakra. Despite being one of the most powerful Akatsuki members, his major weakness is shortsightedness, and his clay explosives can easily be neutralized with lighting attacks.
11. Kisame Hoshigaki

Kisame Hoshigaki can easily win in a battle with his wide range of water-based jutsu and his living Samehada sword. The blade consumes energy from chakra attacks, and he can fuse with the sword to heal from injuries that could otherwise kill him. The entire ninja team had to team up to take him down.
10. Kakuzu

Kakuzu can take on the Tailed Beast with his monstrous and near-immortal abilities. He uses each chakra element to enhance his strength, and his body has tendrils that he inserts into things to control them. He can also recover from grave injuries by replacing the damaged parts with undamaged spare organs. Kakuzu can only be defeated if his whole body and reserve organs are destroyed simultaneously.
9. Konan

Konan is among the original Akatsuki members and the only woman in the group's second generation. The versatile ninja was an advisor to Pain. Konan often transforms her chakra into paper for targeted attacks and can also turn her body into pieces of paper for speed.
8. Shin Uchiha

Shin Uchiha was not a member of Akatsuki but tried to revive the nearly extinct organization during Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. Uchiha's major strength is his numerous Sharingan eyes on his entire body that he uses to control anything with telekinesis. He also has a huge clone army that strengthens his battle power and offers spare body parts.
7. Black Zetsu

Black Zetsu often works in the shadows and has a wide range of abilities that make him a difficult ninja to defeat. He uses the advanced Wood Release, all ninjutsu elements, stealing chakra from other ninjas and can utilize the unique techniques of an opponent.
6. Kabuto Yakushi
Kabuto was a spy for the Akatsuki organization and fought for them during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He modified his body to be immune to injury and can absorb natural energy to maintain Sage Mode for as long as it takes.
5. Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha was perhaps the greatest ninjutsu and genjutsu but left the organization too soon due to his chronic illness. He was a genius and a master in Sharingan's most advanced tactics, such as battling avatar Susanoo, the illusions of Tsukuyomi, and the inextinguishable flames of Amaterasu.
4. Orochimaru

Orochimaru was a Sannin and only a member of Akatsuki when it benefited him. The master ninjutsu has an extensively modified body with numerous unique powers after absorbing the bodies of others.
3. Pain/Nagato

Nagato used Rinnegan to transform and destroy cities. He adopted the name Pain after making Akatsuki a villain group aimed at taking over humankind. Pain could easily take down an entire army with his might, and it took Naruto's Sage Mode and chakra from the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to stop him.
2. Obito Uchiha/Tobi

Tobi has the power of the Ten-Tails, the Rinnegan, and the Sharingan, which gives him limitless abilities. He can ruin almost anything with The Truth-Seeking Balls technique, has access to all of Nagato's abilities, and uses all the six chakra elements. It took the entire Allied Shinobi Forces to defeat him.
1. Madara Uchiha

Madara Uchiha is one of the most powerful villains in Naruto and could not be defeated by anyone in a one-on-one battle. He was able to take all of Obito's powers and could combine both Rinnegan and Sharingan powers to form the Rinne Sharingan. He took down the Allied Shinobi Forces and overpowered the combined strength of Sasuke and Naruto. His downfall came when he allowed Black Zetsu/goddess Kaguya to influence his decisions.
