The Akatsuki is one of the most well-known antagonistic groups in shounen anime, as well as Naruto. As well as being a group composed of nukeninーninja who defected from their villageーthe diverse cast of characters that were enlisted in the group have big personalities.
Despite their role becoming smaller as Naruto Shippuden continued, characters that were in the Akatsuki have become prolific, such as Itachi Uchiha for the plot-twist on his antagonist standing or Nagato for his complex backstory and impact on the story. If fans have ever wondered which ones they would match within a zodiac sign territory, here it is.
12 Aries: Deidara
Deidara is the youngestーand most unwillingーmember of the Akatsuki, but that doesn't stop him from trying to get the spotlight most of the time in Naruto Shippuden.
Loudmouthed and having a knack for art, Deidara loves to be number one and holds a grudge against Itachi for beating him, as that was the condition for him to join the group. Deidara hits most of the boxes for an Aries.
11 Taurus: Kisame Hoshigaki
Kisame was Itachi's partner and seen frequently at the beginning of Naruto. Despite him appearing shark-likeーand even having the chakra-eating blade Samehada, or "sharkskin" in EnglishーKisame is actually pretty laid back.
This is perhaps why Itachi and Kisame got along as partners so well during the years of them being in the Akatsuki. For his personality and attitude, Kisame would be a Taurus.
10 Gemini: Sasori
Sasori's background is convoluted, with his parents have been murdered by Kakashi's father and his concept of love being twistedーso much so that he created puppets of his mother and father when he was small.
He even turned himself into a puppet so that he could live forever, which unfortunately for him, didn't come true. Sasori would most likely mark up as being a Gemini.
9 Cancer: Konan
Konan is one of the most beloved kunoichi in Naruto, as she was the only female member of the Akatsuki and the companion to Nagato, who turned into Pain.
Despite her cool attitude, she truly cared about her friends and what Obito was doing to the organization from the inside. Don't let her mask fool oneーKonan is definitely a Cancer.
8 Leo: Orochimaru
Orochimaru is an interesting choice when thinking of zodiac signs he aligns with, but ultimately, he can be a Leoーas his selfish nature can be seen throughout Naruto and Naruto Shippuden.
From betraying his friends for the Akatsuki to betraying the Akatsuki as well, Orochimaru will do anything if it's for his research. He even corrupted helpless ninja so they could help.
7 Virgo: Kakuzu
Kakuzu was a ninja that Kakashi ultimately killed early on in Naruto Shippuden, so some fans may not remember him. He was the partner of Hidan, the one who killed Asuma, and an extremely powerful S-rank missing-nin.
Kakuzu would only fight opponents if it made sense. Logical and practical, Kakuzu would fit as a Virgo.
6 Libra: Yahiko
Yahiko was the founder of the Akatsuki, albeit he founded it with hopes that were ultimately dashed. He wished for orphans to have a safe haven to be as well as for wars to stop, so it was unfortunate that the Akatsuki were used for a war.
Yahiko wished for there to be balance in the worldーno more wars, no more orphans. In this case, Yahiko would be a Libra.
5 Scorpio: Itachi
Just as a Scorpio is the most misunderstood zodiac sign, Itachi was the most hated ninja until the plot twist revealed he was the good person all along.
Acting as a spy for the Hidden Leaf Village and as fodder to Sasuke's hatred, Itachi was actually a great asset to the ninja world until his death. Ultimately, Itachi would be a Scorpio.
4 Sagittarius: Black Zetsu
Black Zetsu in one half of White Zetsu, but unlike White Zetsu, it was the manifestation of Kaguya's willーas well as the culprit behind a lot of behind the scenes happenings.
As the creation of her will right after Kaguya was sealed by her sons, it would compare to a Sagittariusーthose who are adventurous and full of intellect, as it has been alive for thousands of years.
3 Capricorn: White Zetsu
On the other hand, White Zetsu was one of the first unfortunate victims of Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi which really begs the questionーhow old, exactly, is Zetsu?
Black Zetsu removed White Zetsu from the God Tree and formed with it. Over the course of the series, fans will notice White Zetsu being the more childish half of the Zetsuーas well as more twisted. White Zetsu would fit as a Capricorn.
2 Aquarius: Obito
Obito has gone through a lot in Naruto Shippuden, as fans would get glimpses of him in flashbacks being crushed by a rock. Turns out he wasn't, and he decided to get revenge on Kakashi for seemingly killing Rin, his one and first love.
Aquarians are known for holding grudges sometimes, as well as being stubborn and hard to change their mind.
1 Pisces: Pain
Pain, otherwise known as Nagato, has gone through a lot to make him as twisted as he was in Naruto Shippuden.
Pain would fit the bill of a Piscesーdespite having a dream of changing the world for the better without war, he ended up changing his views after tragedy struck.
