Strongest Akatsuki members

201 ELO points separate Pain from Kisame at the top of the Naruto ranking, after 68829 duels, while Tobi holds first place with 1493 ELO points.

The podium sees Tobi claim first with 1493 ELO, followed by Itachi at 1457 and Pain at 1447. The sharpest divide appears between ranks 3 and 4: Pain stands 201 ELO points above Kisame, marking the clearest line between the organization's elite tier and its middling fighters. Tobi's victory rate of 74% across 253 duels confirms his dominance over the Akatsuki hierarchy, though Itachi remains a close contender with 72% over 294 duels. Pain completes the top three with 69% wins from 306 duels. Kisame sits at rank 4 with 1246 ELO, while Orochimaru rounds out the top five at 1237 ELO. At the bottom, Zetsu lands at rank 11 with 956 ELO and a 28% win rate, showing that not every Akatsuki member commands the same respect from voters. Hidan and Kakuzu occupy ranks 10 and 9 respectively, both stuck at 33% win rates, suggesting the community views them as the organization's weakest operatives despite their narrative presence.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
