I'm just going to copy paste my posts from other threads. I have a feeling that Itachi fans don't want to even consider that there is a superior power to Itachi.
In any picture, the center is the focus. You would be lying to yourself if you argued the person standing in the middle of an odd crowd as the axis of symmetry is not someone of great importance (in more than one way). Hunter, I strongly believe without Ororchimaru, at the current state that is, Akatsuki has 9 members. In episode 82, when Jiraiya tells what he knows to Kakashi, an image/outline of Akatsuki is shown. At the time that image is shown, Jiraiya was already informed that Orochimaru had left the organization. Therefore, the image would be an image of the organization after Orochimaru left it. Aside from the plot, most, if not all, organizations/group of bad guys/whatever you wish to call it in anime have a leader whether it be someone with a lot of wisdom, combat ability or both. Always a bigger fish, right? Just as Itachi has a sense of authority over Kisame (Akatsuki is probably not a hierarchy but Kisame is just naturally submissive due to his inferiority), there has to be someone of greatest power among the organization that directs the team. And Itachi already has shown signs of weakness. He even said himself "every man has a weakness" which obviously includes himself. I think he meant there is always someone stronger. Orochimaru has no weaknesses that I know of. Itachi is just stronger than him. |

but Itachi's weakness is that he tends to use chakra-intensive jutsus but doesn't have enough chakra to use them in a prolonged fight. |

i agree,
left of middle = Kisame right of mid = Itachi also, it looks to me like the guy on the FAR Right, is Orochimaru -.- either that or the guy next to Itachi ps. who ever drew that kabuto picture should die pss. uchiha is not the strongest or best clan in konoha, it is hyuuga clan |

DUDES!!! Itachi already atmitted, that there are stronger ones than him.
He said something like: "Abducting Naruto was the mission given to us by the higher echelons of Akatsuki" and that was in the manga, so real. That means at least 2 people are stronger than him in akatsuki, otherwise he wouldn't say "echelons". However, it could be like Zabuza taking orders from somebody rich and powerfull, like Gato, but Itachi isn't that kind of guy. he doesn't attach himself to losers, he disposes of them (uchiha clan). |

Well,i dont' think we should discuss whos' the Akatsuki boss,based on this screen. Y? well,because,for all we know,if may just be a conceptual pic,if you know what i mean.Like "Rurouni Kenshin" the first time they showed Shishio and his ten juppontanagata(?),wasnt' the finilised design. If anyone of you dont understand a word im' sying,plz say so,i have bad expression skills. |

Because about all the filler scenes aren't important for the plot, it's not a big deal that's all. For all we know, one member of the Akatsuki might be a midget, one other would have 3 heads, etc. Quote:

I didn't say that it's impossible that the Akatsuki has a big boss, I said that it wasn't hinted in the manga. Quote:
That might be true, who knows? But the only facts existing are in order : Oro joined the Akatsuki=>the Akatsuki is a group of 9 ninjas=>then Oro left the Akatsuki recently=>immediately, the Akatsuki separated into teams of two peoples to seek powerful jutsu and stuff. Then no, a mangaka doesn't know the complete plot of his whole series from the beginning neither the final design of his new characters, simply because he doesn't even know how many time his series will have success and thus continue. Rasho gave a good example with Kenshin, but you just has to see the design of Itachi the first time we saw a flashback of him during the fight Gaara vs Sasuke and his final design. If you buy the manga of Naruto, you can also read the little chat of Kishimoto where he explains how he creates his characters. |
