BioKakuzu (角都, Kakuzu?) is the partner of Hidan and a former ninja of Takigakure, the Village Hidden in a Waterfall, Kakuzu is motivated by greed and joins the Akatsuki to seek out valuable bounties. However, his very lust for money led Kakuzu to dislike having a partner and eventually killing whoever he is partnered with in a fit of rage, being paired up with the immortal Hidan as a result.[81] Kakuzu's body is composed of large amounts of black threads, allowing him to sew things (such as Hidan's dismembered body parts) back together. The threads are also capable of piercing flesh, which Kakuzu uses to remove the still-beating hearts of his opponents for his personal use while executing a forbidden Jutsu called Jiongu (地怨虞, Jiongu?) to integrate their organs into his body to cheat death and extend his life indefinitely.[76]. He claims he has lived since the time of Hashirama Senju, Konoha's first hokage. He can store up to four spare hearts in animal masks that are sewn to his back. The masks can be detached during combat situations to shoot elemental blasts at his opponents, and can quickly be recalled to his body if he needs their heart.[82] Kakuzu's hearts are systematically destroyed soon after his introduction by a group of Konohagakure ninja. After Naruto Uzumaki leaves his final heart on the brink of failure, Kakuzu is easily finished off by Kakashi Hatake. However, before his death he recalled a hidden heart, which was in an oak chest within his cloak. Although, konoha and the other villiages still believe him to be dead.[83] In the Japanese anime, Kakuzu's seiyū is Takaya Hashi.
