It was in the games. But if that's canon I'unno.

Most of them yeah, it did explain it, at least very loosely. Pain and Konan were the ones that made the most sense though.

Yahiku made the akatsuki and so Pain used his body to lead it with Konan.

The rest? Nope. Not even hinted. They just joined it to acquire power.

Yeah they were all at least somewhat explained

Man Itachi was such a great character its a shame that he was trapped in this series

You again? Do you just monitor /a/ all day until a naruto thread pops up just to post this?

Pain/Konan=Peace
Zetsu/"Tobi"=Mugen Tsukiyomi
Hidan=For Jashin
Kakuzu=Shekels
Itachi=Spying for the Hidden Leaf
Kisame=Wanted to see the Dream World
Sasori=Trying to perfect his puppetry techniques
Deidara=Art and shit

This pretty much. A bunch of idealists on the fringe of society and hired swords out just for money or to "accomplish something grand". Probably the most interesting part of the series just because how diverse every character is.

fuck off

Deidara was forced to join them, Zetsu was grown to be part of them, Orochimaru wanted to have Itachi's body, Itachi wanted to monitor Obito...
