Alright, let’s break this down. Sasuke forming his own little squad after killing Orochimaru was a weird moment. He basically decided he needed power to take down Itachi, and recruiting former Orochimaru test subjects made a twisted kind of sense. They were strong, loyal to him personally, and disposable in his eyes.
His actual entry into the Akatsuki came after the Itachi fight, when he was at his most broken and vengeful. Tobi swooped in, fed him a version of the Uchiha massacre that painted Itachi as a hero, and completely shattered Sasuke’s world. That manipulation was the key. He didn't 'join' so much as get weaponized. His new goal of destroying Konoha aligned with Akatsuki's broader chaos, so Tobi gave him a cloak and let him run wild with Team Taka as a provisional member. The whole thing felt less like an initiation and more like a hostile takeover from within.

I still get a little fired up whenever this topic pops up in forums, because it's one of those fandom myths that won't die. To be clear: Sasuke Uchiha never officially joined the Akatsuki in canon. He has encounters and temporary alliances with Akatsuki-affiliated people (most notably with Tobi/Obito after Itachi's death), but he never took a ring, never got formally inducted, and never became an Akatsuki member the way Itachi, Pain, or Konan did.
If you trace the timeline in 'Naruto'/'Naruto Shippuden', Sasuke leaves Konoha, trains with Orochimaru, forms Team Taka (originally called Hebi), fights Deidara, and then learns the truth about Itachi. After that revelation he aligns himself with Tobi for a while — more of a strategic pact than a membership. I love rewatching those arcs because his moral trajectory is so messy and compelling; it’s easy to see why people blur alliance and membership, but canon keeps them distinct.

I still get chills thinking about those tense moments in 'Naruto' and 'Naruto Shippuden' where Sasuke crosses paths with Akatsuki members — but here's the important thing up front: Sasuke never officially becomes part of the Akatsuki. What you do see are encounters, brief alignments of convenience, and a handful of dramatic confrontations where he’s working against or alongside individual members for his own goals.
If you want episode checkpoints to watch: focus on the 'Itachi Pursuit' arc in 'Naruto Shippuden' (the build-up runs roughly from the low 100s into the 130s), the big brothers’ fight (the climactic duel between Sasuke and Itachi happens around the high 130s), and the Deidara clash a bit earlier in that chase sequence. Those are the moments where Akatsuki figures are central and Sasuke’s relationship with them is most dramatic. Personally, I binged those arcs on two late nights and it felt like watching a slow-motion train crash — you can see his motivations collide with theirs in every frame.

Man, Sasuke's Sharingan origin story hits hard every time I think about it. It wasn't some glorious awakening—it came from pure trauma. The night his clan was massacred by his brother Itachi, that's when his eyes first changed. But here's the messed up part: he actually awakened it TWICE. First was when he saw Itachi slaughter their parents—that unlocked the single tomoe. Then years later during the Chunin Exams against Haku, protecting Naruto kicked it up to two tomoe. Crazy how his power grew through suffering and bonds, right? The Uchiha curse in a nutshell: love fuels their power, but loss unlocks it. Still gives me chills remembering that bridge scene where his red eyes first gleam.
What really sticks with me is how Sasuke's journey mirrors classic tragedy tropes. His eyes evolve alongside his pain—three tomoe after fighting Naruto at the Valley of the End, Mangekyou after learning the truth about Itachi. The Sharingan isn't just a cool visual; it's a physical manifestation of his emotional scars. Makes you wonder if all Uchiha abilities are tied to their capacity for love and loss. Even the EMS requires stealing a sibling's eyes—such a dark, poetic twist on family bonds.

It's a pretty complex question if you think about it, because Sasuke's time in the Akatsuki is so brief and under false pretenses. He's never a true member in the sense that Itachi or Kisame were; he's an infiltrator using the organization's resources for his own revenge. He joins alongside his 'team Taka'—Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo—but they're basically just his crew tagging along.
His primary role within the group's framework was to be a replacement for Orochimaru, whose ring he took. But he never really participates in any of the grand collection of the Tailed Beasts. He just shows up, uses their intel to find Itachi, fights him, and then immediately turns on them to go after the Eight-Tails. He's more like a rogue agent who briefly occupied a slot on the roster. After the Five Kage Summit, the Akatsuki, or what was left of it, basically saw him as a loose cannon and a target.
So yeah, in the grand scheme, his role is that of an antagonist who temporarily aligns with the villains, creating this great tension where you know his presence there is a ticking time bomb. It made that whole era of the story way more unpredictable.

Honestly, it's easier to list the missions he didn't do, which is basically zero? He barely contributed. His whole stint with Akatsuki felt more like a business arrangement than actual membership. He joined, got paired with Itachi's old partner Kisame, and his entire goal was tracking down Itachi. So his only 'mission' was using the organization's intel network to locate his brother, culminating in that fight at the hideout.
After that, he briefly teamed up with Taka, his own little crew, and went after Killer Bee for the Eight-Tails. That was technically an Akatsuki objective, but he failed spectacularly. Then he crashed the Five Kage Summit on his own vendetta, which was definitely not an Akatsuki-sanctioned operation. He was a member in name only, using their resources for his personal revenge. By the time the Fourth Great Ninja War started, he'd completely diverged from their goals to pursue his own messed-up revolution.

Sasuke's departure from Konoha is one of those heart-wrenching moments in 'Naruto' that still gives me chills. It wasn't just about power or revenge—it was a kid drowning in grief and rage, convinced he had no other path. After the Uchiha massacre, Itachi left him with this unbearable weight, and the village's silence made it worse. When Orochimaru dangled the promise of strength, Sasuke saw it as his only way to kill Itachi. Konoha couldn't give him that, not fast enough. His friendships, even with Naruto, felt like chains holding him back from what he thought was his destiny.
What really gets me is how loneliness warped his choices. He pushed everyone away because he believed he had to carry that burden alone. The Chunin Exams, the fight on the hospital roof—every step was him spiraling. It's tragic because you see how much he cared, but his pain was louder. Even now, rewatching those scenes, I want to shake him and say, 'Look at Naruto, look at Sakura—they're right there!' But that's what makes his character so compelling. The way he claws his way back later, after everything? Chef's kiss.

There's a lot of fan chatter about this, and I fall squarely on the side that Sasuke never officially wore the Akatsuki cloak in canon.
When I go back to the manga panels in 'Naruto' and 'Naruto Shippuden', there’s no scene where Sasuke is inducted into Akatsuki or given the red-cloud cloak and ring the way Itachi and other members were. He does team up with — or at least interact with — people tied to Akatsuki (Tobi/Obito and others), but that’s not the same as membership. The organization’s visual markers are pretty strict: the red-cloud cloak, the straw hats in some missions, and the finger rings with specific kanji. Sasuke never sports those canonically.
That said, I love scanning artbooks and game skins, and it’s common to find promotional illustrations, alternate costume skins in fighting games, or fan art showing Sasuke in an Akatsuki cloak. Those are fun what-ifs, but they don’t change the official storyline. If you want the real deal, stick to the manga and official databooks — they don’t list him as an Akatsuki member.

Watching Sasuke's departure always felt like watching a fuse burn down — tense and inevitable. I was hooked by how personal his motivations were: the Uchiha massacre left him hollow, obsessed with one thing — killing Itachi. Konoha’s comfort and the village’s rules felt like obstacles to him, not supports. When Orochimaru showed up with power, secret techniques, and a blunt promise to make him strong enough, Sasuke snapped. He wasn’t choosing ideology; he was choosing a shortcut to revenge.
There’s also the social angle I can’t ignore: Sasuke saw Naruto’s friendship as weak consolation. Team 7’s approach — training, patience, and bonds — didn’t match his terror and impatience. Orochimaru offered a form of empowerment that Konoha wouldn’t, and Sasuke, desperate and prideful, took it. Later twists — Itachi’s real motives, Danzo’s role, all that political rot — make his choice tragic in hindsight, but in the moment, it made brutal sense to him and to me when I first read 'Naruto'.

I still get excited when I spot a clever twist on a character — and with Sasuke it's no different. Because Sasuke wasn't actually an Akatsuki member in canon, most of the merch that shows him in the black cloak or wearing the red-cloud motif is either alternate-universe art, crossover promotions, or fanmade pieces. That means the most common types you’ll see are mass-market figures (prize figures, chibi takes, and special-edition scales) and a surprising number of posters and art prints where artists reimagine him in Akatsuki garb.
If you love hunting, check out keychains, enamel pins, and acrylic stands too — they’re cheap to produce as variant art so indie creators often give Sasuke the Akatsuki makeover. For more official-feeling items, Funko Pop variants or Banpresto prize figures sometimes dip into “what-if” aesthetics, and conventions/Etsy have custom cosplay cloaks and replica rings. I’ve bought a few acrylic stands at a con and a printed poster from an artist alley — both fun, affordable ways to collect that alternate-Sasuke vibe.
