Life of Akatsuchi


Akatsuchi was born and brought up in Iwagakure, where he did his training and became the Jonin rank shinobi and loyal servant of the Third Tsuchikage (Onoki). Onoki had full faith in Akatsuchi, so he always kept him near. When the Fourth Raikage requested the Five Kage Summit, Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi were chosen as bodyguards to assist Third Tsuchikage at the Five Kage Summit, which happened in the Land of Iron.



When Onoki struggled to carry his heavy language by himself, Akatsuchi carried him and his bag to help make his journey easier. During the summit, Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi protected the Tsuchikage when White Zetsu appeared. When Sasuke Uchiha invaded the meeting hall later, the two bodyguards chose not to attack him, instead moving out of the way to allow the Fifth Mizukage to deal with him.


Later on, he got caught in Zetsu's Spore Technique and when Onoki notices Sasuke escaping Mei, he recommends that the two join the fight. Akatsuchi accepts and employs the Earth Release: Golem Technique to summon a gigantic earthen golem that bites and rips the Zetsu clone from Akatsuchi's body.



Later, Tsuchikage sent Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi on a political mission to strengthen Kirigakure's relationship with Iwagakure, along with Chojuro, who the Fifth Mizukage also sent on the same mission to stop Ganryu.


During the mission, Naruto saves Akatsuchi, who got hurt in the battle against Ganryu and his squad. After some time, when Kisame Hoshigaki could locate Killer B and Naruto Uzumaki, Onoki with Akatsuchi and Kurotsuchi went to the location to find him.



When Akatsuchi, Onoki, and Kurotsuchi were near the location, they spotted Kabuto and Reincarnated Deidara and battled the two. Still, he escaped when they pushed back Kabuto and saw he was at a disadvantage.


During the Fourth Shinobi War, Akatsuchi stayed with Onoki but later, when Onoki joined the battle alongside Gaara in Fourth Division, Akatsuchi joined with his comrades. Later he was seen when the Five Kage entered the battlefield.


Akatsuchi in Boruto: The Next Generation


He attended the Five Kage summit with the Fourth Tsuchikage, Kurotsuchi, in Konohagakure. This meeting was about the greater threat than Kaguya Otsutsuki when Sasuke informed all the Kage about his discovery and his hunch.



Later, Akatsuchi and many Iwagakure villagers learned about the Akuta, which Onoki and his research team created for the village's good. Still, Kurotsuchi rejected the proposal because Akuta was not a stable creature and could be a danger to themselves.



When Onoki fell sick, Akatsuchi was assigned to take care of him. Still, after knowing all the secrets about Onoki's plan for Akuta and fighting against Ku, he helped Boruto and his team find Mitsuki. Together they were able to shut down the research center and were able to defeat Ku and his fellow members. Later he was seen crying when Onoki passed away and attended his funeral with other shinobis.
