All the Akatsuki members in Naruto are special in their own ways, but who is the strongest? Well, we have some thoughts. While everything is technically subjective, we've ranked the top dogs in the hit anime series and Masashi Kishimoto's manga, and have also given a breakdown of why they got their placement. So even if you don't agree fully, you'll also be getting a refresher on how powerful they really are. In fact, this guide will help you understand the ninja gang that takes on Naruto and his allies.
But before we begin, fair warning: we haven't included Juzo or Orochimaru on this list because Juzo is a Naruto filler character, and we don't know enough about Orochimaru's power level when he was part of the team. If that annoys you, well, we're truly sorry, but they'd both be under Sasori (you can argue amongst yourselves as to where). Black Zetsu and White Zetsu are also listed as single members because, although they're technically two people, no one in the group treated them as two individuals.
