Akatsuki Member symbolism

[swagking]

From thinking about it each akatsuki member has their own motive that makes them join. In reality most of these reasons are why people will turn to the dark side.

Nagato/Yahiko-peace
Sasori-Neglect
Obito-love
Konan-protection/friendship (protecting the ones you love)
Itachi-regret
Hidan-Religion
Kakuzu-Greed
Deidara-Grudges
Kisame-Lies
Orochimaru-Power
Zetsu-Loyalty

Other Characters associated with akatsuki and are major antagonists:
Sasuke-Revenge/Hate
Madara-Failure (Competition)
Kabuto-Alienation

Yeaa, nagato pretty much stated everyone on akatsuki has their reasons for joining...

If you look around, many ninjas experienced love, neglect, failure, etc stuff..
It is only what they chose to escape from them made them what they're..

Very true, as also stated by Pain in an earlier manga.

Kabuto's symbolism makes my face sad but it is true.
