Oh right, it sound a little bit unclear. I meant pre-naruto akatsuki, so yeah, the original akatsuki.
Any tips on making pre-naruto Akatsuki OC?*
I wrote this post about a month ago for making an Akatsuki OC in general, but you may still find it useful.
As for tips specific to pre-naruto Akatsuki (but not Yahikoâs akatsuki):
Make sure that they die or leave the akatsuki in time for the canon character who replaces them to join.
Make them an S ranked missing nin and the skills that go with that level of ninja.
Give them a personality that fits both being an S ranked missing nin and a member of the akatsuki.
Make sure that it makes sense for Pein to get them to join (largely linked to being S ranked, but also whether their skills would work well with their intended partner, if theyâll listen to orders etc).
(Optional) Give them a reason to want to be in the akatsuki (Deidara was more or less forced into joining).
There should be no more than 10 members in the akatsuki (less than 10 is fine as long as there is a reason for it).
Pein, Konan and Zetsu will definitely be members, though itâs not advisable to use any of them as partners for your OC.
Kakazu killed four of his partners, so he is a good option, though your OC may not survive too long working with him. I donât think it was stated in canon exactly when he joined the akatsuki, but I would imagine that it would have been several years before the series start.
Iâm not sure when Kisame joined either, but he was obviously part of the organisation (and reasonably well trusted) before Itachi joined, so he could be your OCs partner too if you donât go too far (say 8-10 years) before the series start.
*Cough* Invading*Cough*Â but if youâre doing Anime Only, Juzo Biwa (another Seven Mist Swordsmen) was Itachiâs first Akatsuki partner. However Juzo died protecting Itachi and Kisame soon became Itachiâs new partner. -Mod Kana
Sasori worked with Orochimaru, but if your OC is around when Orochimaru is not, then Sasori could also be used as their partner.
I hope this helps. If you have any more specific questions feel free to send in another ask.
