This is an editorial comparison of combat threat, not an official power scale. It includes Orochimaru, whose confirmed but brief membership makes his placement especially uncertain, and focuses on the Akatsuki organization’s active period rather than members’ later power-ups.
How this Akatsuki strength ranking works
“Strength” here means likely danger in a direct fight. The order weighs destructive ability, versatility, durability, range, special techniques, tactical skill, and exploitable weaknesses. A matchup can change the result: a technique that is devastating against one opponent may be countered by another. The list follows ComicBook.com’s editorial ranking and its pre-Fourth Great Ninja War scope, excluding later states such as Obito’s Ten-Tails form (ComicBook.com’s Akatsuki ranking).
Orochimaru is included because the official Naruto site confirms he joined Akatsuki, partnered with Sasori, and left after failing to take Itachi’s body (Naruto Official Site on Orochimaru). His short tenure leaves less evidence for comparing his strength as a member than there is for most of the roster. Rankings that omit him use a different roster definition; this list counts the former member to deliver 11 names.
Akatsuki members ranked from weakest to strongest
11. Zetsu
Zetsu is last for one-on-one combat, not for usefulness. Black and White Zetsu’s ability to travel through the ground with Mayfly, split apart, communicate, transform, and infiltrate makes him an outstanding intelligence-gatherer. Those skills help the organization locate and monitor people, but they do not amount to the same direct fighting threat as the other members.

10. Hidan
Hidan’s immortality and blood-linked ritual can turn a wound to him into a fatal injury for his target. The catch is that he must first obtain the opponent’s blood and complete the ritual. His recklessness and limited flexibility give a prepared adversary ways to disrupt that sequence. Hidan can be extraordinarily hard to kill without being the member most likely to win a fight quickly.
9. Kakuzu
Kakuzu’s multiple hearts let him survive damage that would finish most opponents, while his elemental techniques give him a broad offensive range. His combination of endurance and varied attacks makes him a more consistently dangerous combatant than Hidan, even though the two work together.

8. Konan
Konan can shape paper into weapons and defenses, use it for movement, and turn it into carefully planned traps. Preparation is a major part of her threat: her trap against Obito forced him to rely on Izanagi to survive. That encounter shows how dangerous her planning can be, not that she would automatically defeat him in every situation.
7. Orochimaru
Orochimaru’s extensive jutsu knowledge and adaptability make him a formidable opponent, but his Akatsuki membership does not provide many direct fights with which to compare him against the rest of this group. The official Naruto account confirms his partnership with Sasori and his departure after his failed attempt to take Itachi’s body (Naruto Official Site’s Orochimaru feature). His seventh-place position is therefore one of the least certain in the ranking.

6. Sasori
Sasori’s puppet arsenal includes the Hiruko puppet, poisoned weapons, and many other puppets, giving him multiple ways to attack while keeping opponents at risk from even a small opening. Poison makes a successful strike especially consequential. Sakura and Chiyo’s particular skills were crucial to defeating him; that fight should not be treated as proof that his arsenal is easy to counter.
5. Deidara
Deidara’s explosive clay lets him attack from range, and his techniques include microscopic bombs that are difficult to detect. His fight against Gaara demonstrates the scale of the threat: the official Naruto site recounts that Deidara defeated and abducted the Kazekage during the Kazekage Rescue Mission (Naruto Official Site on Deidara and the Kazekage Rescue Mission). Lightning-based attacks can counter his clay, but his range and strategic use of explosives still make him one of the group’s most dangerous fighters.

- Please Note: To reach 10Gbps speed, keep the cable under 3.3 ft. For USB A Male to USB C adapters, try flipping the USB C connector. USB C Male to USB A adapters support bidirectional 10Gbps transfer within 3.3 ft
4. Tobi/Obito
In the period considered here, Obito’s Kamui lets him phase through attacks and use space-time movement, making him exceptionally difficult to hit. His fight with Konan and survival through Izanagi demonstrate how difficult he is to put down. This entry does not count his later Ten-Tails transformation, which belongs to a different stage of the story.
3. Itachi
Itachi combines genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, Susanoo, and a flexible, tactical approach. That range of tools lets him threaten opponents in different ways rather than relying on a single attack. His condition is an important limitation, however, and his abilities do not establish a guaranteed win against every other Akatsuki member.

2. Kisame
Kisame’s enormous chakra reserves, Water Release, and Samehada’s ability to absorb chakra give him sustained offensive power and a strong advantage against many ninjutsu users. In a battle involving reduced-chakra clones, the fight still required Guy to open the Six Gates, underscoring the challenge Kisame presents even when circumstances are not ideal.
1. Nagato/Pain
Nagato’s Six Paths of Pain let him fight through several bodies with specialized abilities, backed by the Rinnegan and substantial chakra. That combination of range and tactical options supports his top position. Naruto’s eventual victory came after gathering information and under specific circumstances; it was not a clean, isolated duel proving that Nagato would lose to any particular opponent in a different matchup.

The ranking is an interpretation of demonstrated abilities and fights, not a canon-issued list. Even the story’s team battles and shifting conditions matter: Akatsuki’s internal conflict weakened the organization during the events described in the official summary for manga Volume 54 (Naruto Official Site’s Volume 54 summary). Treat the positions as a reasoned comparison within the stated time window, not as a definitive outcome for every possible fight.
