How to join Akatsuki in Ninja Time

It is time to go Rogue!

One of the best accessories anyone can get in Ninja Time is the Ankokuji or the Akatsuki Cloak. To do this, you must join the Akatsuki Secret Gang in Ninja Time. So, if you are new to the game and don't know how to join this elite group of people, here is a dedicated guide to it.

How to become a member of the Akatsuki in Ninja Time

To join Akatsuki in Ninja Time, you must be at least level 80 in the game. So, this is not for beginner-level players at all, and you must grind the game by finishing quests, defeating bosses, and progressing through the main storyline. This will take quite some time; I expect at least three days to a week before you reach the prescribed level.

Once you are level 80 or above, travel to Hidden Leaf Village and meet the Hokage NPC inside the Hokage Building at the back of the village area. If you don't know the location of this building, I recommend referring to the above image for the exact position.

While interacting, you can take up a mission called Elite Secret that requires you to be level 80. Take up the mission and select to become a Renegade in the following window instead of picking Secret ANBU.

The next step is to get the Talisman item in the game. To do this, you must collect Chi Essence. Almost every other boss in the game provides Chi Essence as a guaranteed drop. But, to save time, I suggest farming this from Demon Brother Right, Stone Leo, Icy, and Stone Brother, as they have a 25% guaranteed drop rate and are easy to defeat.

Once you have 18 Chi Essences, meet the Hagiromo (God NPC) west of the Hidden Village under a tree, as shown in the above image. He will use these Chi Essences and transform them into a single Talisman.

Now, all that is left is to travel to the Akatsuki Cave and use this Talisman to enter. You can find the Akatsuki Cave South of the Hidden Village after crossing the Forest area. Just go outside the south main gate and keep traveling straight to see the cave near a river area. Use the Talisman on the circled object to open the cave, where you will meet the Akatsuki leader, who will take you as the apprentice. Finish his first mission, and you will receive the Akatsuki Cloak as well, which will provide the following perks to the player.
