[Manga] 10 Members And 10 Rings.
There has always been a connection thing to Akatsuki members and the rings they wear to even get a spot in Akatsuki you need one. And there hasn't been a 10th member because Orochimaru's still got his.
They've killed off Sasori and Tobi entered. Now they've maybe killed off one or two more Akatsuki Hidan and Kakuzu, although I really don't believe Hidan is dead Shikamaru seems confident he won't get out of the big big hole he's in. Even without a full 10 members they've been able to seal bijuu, so the rings can't be to vital for that (In a you don't need all 10 to preform extractions kinda way). And there's only a couple bijuu left for Akatsuki to get so I thought killing off a couple wouldn't be such a big deal, it would just take longer for an extraction process but at least with only a couple bijuu still about they wouldn't need to many members out searching. Though at the time they weren't to concerned with Orochimaru saying he'll be killed sometime but they need to focus on other things, Zetsu is always out making sure he gets the rings from the dead bodies if they do need a full 10 members for whatever reason they'll need him out of the way. Kakuzu and Hidan could be replaced by others but I thought that wouldn't be a very good way to go about it. Now if both Hidan and Kakuzu are still alive, And they do need a 10th member for someone to wear the ring for their goal of using the bijuu for world domination .. Do you think it will be another random or three? Do you think Kakuzu and Hidan might live so it's not 3 more randoms? Do you think it could be Sasuke with Orochimaru's ring? Do you even think they need a 10th member? Or do you think that the rest of Akatsuki to die before the big plans of theirs won't be replaced their rings might be gathered but no one else really needs to join? Maybe they need all 10 for the "impossible" extraction of Kyuubi? I just thought Sasuke replacing Orochimaru's spot and Kakuzu and Hidan still being around would be a nice way to get Akatsuki with all it's 10 members again.. So anyway, Your thoughts? |

Well, Rurik stated most the points I can think of. Yeah, I don't think there will be any Kakuzu or Hidan replacements and I don't think they'll be coming back. The rings themselves don't seem to be crucial to the sealing process or Akatsuki accomplishing their goals since they haven't made any effort to reclaim the ring in Oro's possesion. However, It seems that it is necessary to have a ring to be a member of Akatsuki. Seems like I remember that it wasn't so much Zetsu who was concerned about finding Sasori's ring, but Tobi because he wanted to become a member so badly.
That being said, I think the rings are what allow Akatsuki to communicate and perform the sealing process from such long distances, sort of like astral projection. So the rings are useful in the fact that Akatsuki members don't have travel all the way back to the sealing chamber to extract a bijuu and create plans. Also, I think the leader uses this ability of the ring to transmit his orders to rest of the group like he did with Kakuzu and Hidan. But these things aren't crucial to Akatsuki's plans, they just streamline the process. |

One thing, Did oyu created this thread for flame bait? Because you ask what people think about it, so I don’t see why you are relying to what I think about your questions. Are you sure this is not Yellow Flash Using your account??

As I told oyu, Akatsuki is not going to replace the members not because they don’t want to do that, rather, because a plot where new Akatsuki members are introduced will only make the series repeat itself over and over again…. Quote:
You are assuming that its Zetzu Job to fetch for all the rings, however this is your assumption, Maybe Zetzu got the ring because they happen to be close by, What makes you think that this 2 rings are going to be taken by Zetzu anyway, or retrieve by Akatsuki for that matter? Quote:

[Annoying Random Lurker jumps in...]
Hi all, long time lurker, I thought id chime in with my 2cents Just to add to the discussion on what others have said. I believe that a certain percetage of chakra from each member is required, naturally making this technique the most chakra intensive move seen in naruto. At a guess I would say originally 10 rings for 25% of a "kage lv" ninjas chakra for 3 days. When they lost oros ring it became 9 ninjas at 30% of their chakra and so on. So the more rings they lose means the remaining ninjas would be required to output more charka for each bijuu extraction. This of course takes into account the 3 days timetable is fixed. So if they lose more rings, the survivors could be up to 90% with 4 members which would leave them dangerously vulnerable to counter attack or just plain chakra exhaustion. All this is mostly speculation on my part and facts already provided from the AL mouth. What do you think? Plausible? |

I think the fact that Shikamaru left Hidan's ring at the bottom of the pit with him is proof that someone(probably Zetsu) will retrieve him. Akatsuki obviously takes them seriously and given Zetsu's abilities I think it's plausible that he can get down there and recover it(just like he saved Obito ). I hope he just eats Hidan though, he's obviously of no use to them because he sucks so much.
As for the rings, I think it's a given that they're involved in the Bijyuu-extraction process somehow. It seems like the finger of the ring corresponds to the finger of the giant summon's hand that they stand on. Maybe the Leader made them with some of his power to let other people handle his jutsus or something. |

Thats very plausible there Zek and also each member has a different ring and from what it seems they each wear there ring on the finger they corresponding to on the giant hands for the extraction

well the rings are undoubtedly important but not so much the members, there must be a reason why orochimaru still keeps his ring with him even after leaving akatsuki. Akatsuki do state that they're going to kill orochimaru (probably to get the ring back), i doubt another member would be recruited and plus akatsuki do need to get killed off so i doubt there will be replacements for hidan and kakuzu and yes i think theyre dead.
it think it would be convinient to have more members so akatsuki can get things accomplished at a faster rate but i dont think its vital the number of rings = the number of members. Since hidan and kakuzu are out of the picture thats 2 known teams left e.g kisame & itachi, deidara & tobi . Theyre nearing their organisations goal it seems so members arent really a bother, one person might be able to wear more than one ring you never know. |

Do the rings mean anything in relationship to their ranks or partners? I haven't found any patterns between them, but I could just not be looking at it the right way. I wonder what the significance of the rings are to Akatsuki, that is, why those symbols were chosen.
