Biography
Kakuzu (Japanese: 角都, Hepburn: Kakuzu) was a male human who came to be an elite ninja of the village of Takigakure in the Ninja World.
He attended an astral projection meeting of the Akatsuki where they gathered to discuss the activities of Orochimaru who had taken Sasuke Uchiha under his care. They also spoke about their plans in further their agenda and moving forward with capturing the Nine-Tails where they agreed that they would take the next two years to prepare themselves.
Confronted by the leaf shinobi, Hidan told Kakuzu that he could handle their foes himself and to not to interfere. Thus, Kakuzu observed their battle where he came to be impressed at the strategic skill of the young Shikamaru Nara.
Overview
Personality and attributes
While he is a member of Akatsuki, Kakuzu greatly dislikes the fact that he needs a teammate. Because he is easily angered, Kakuzu has the habit of killing anyone near him when enraged. Kakuzu has killed his previous partners as a result of this, leading to his partnership with Hidan. Neither Kakuzu nor Hidan are fond of their partnership, Kakuzu having little patience for Hidan's time-consuming battle style and rituals and Hidan, in turn, detesting how Kakuzu fights solely for money. Still, because Hidan is immortal, Kakuzu can attack him without worrying about finding a new partner. In addition, the abilities of both compliment each other, making the two an ideal team.
Kakuzu is a greedy individual, prioritizing things in terms of how much they are worth and finding money to be the only thing that he can depend on. Kakuzu's favorite source of income is collecting bounties while carrying out other missions, even putting up with Hidan's religion since it allows him to collect bounties faster. His history as a bounty hunter seems to be extensive, as he is on friendly terms with a bounty collector and even seems to have memorized the information and worth of some of the more dangerous bounties. This view of money has caused Kakuzu to refer to himself as the "Treasurer of Akatsuki", though it is unknown if this is an actual position. Kakuzu also has his own personal banker and accountant.
Kakuzu was more cautious than Hidan, often telling Hidan not to let his guard down during battle. Kakuzu is also much more willing to take orders, immediately obeying the Akatsuki leader and persuading Hidan to do the same even if disobeying would get him a large bounty.
