The warriors of the Akatsuki from Naruto are a formidable group of shinobi, yet they were all eliminated individually, and their terrible plots were prevented.
Lovers of anime and manga have been treated to a wealth of high-quality narratives over the course of the previous 2 decades.
On the other hand, just several series are capable of achieving the kind of success that Naruto has on a global scale, and there is a strong explanation for this.

Naruto, a young ninja who is the protagonist of this series, was rejected by the majority of his tribe when he was younger due to the fact that the powerful Nine-Tailed Fox was locked within him since birth.
As the story of Naruto continues, viewers become familiar with a group called the Akatsuki.
This extreme organization, which is made up of 10 renegade ninjas that are very strong, has the intention of capturing all of the tailed creatures for their own purposes.
The members of the organization were finally vanquished with the help of Naruto and the other shinobi, which brought stability to the Land of Fire.

Episode 27 – “Impossible Dream”

Even though he was a formidable opponent, Sasori became the 1st of the Akatsuki to be defeated in the fight.
Sakura and Sasori’s own grandma Chiyo was responsible for Sasori’s loss. Chiyo was the one who trained the Akatsuki warrior in whatever he learned. Sasori was defeated by both of them.
The fight was intense and included a lot of puppetry as well as poison, but Chiyo was the one who dealt the killing strike when she pierced him through the heart using 2 puppets that he had built as a youngster to imitate his deceased parents.

9. Hidan

Because of his confidence in the Jashin, he is able to endure hardships that no average human, or even an average shinobi, would.
Following Hidan’s murder of Asuma, the jonin’s pupils, along with the assistance of Kakashi, set out to get revenge for their former sensei. The subsequent fight is a great spectacle, and during it, Hidan demonstrates his prowess with his three-bladed scythe.
Shikamaru ultimately prevails against him by setting him up with paper explosives, which he then uses to dismember him.
Since Hidan is theoretically incapable of passing away due to his immortality, the assumption that he was buried alive whilst still in fragments practically defines him as a deceased being.
