My guess is that Akatsuki is waiting to see how the entire Orochimaru/Sasuke/Naruto thing turns out. Maybe they're planning to swoop in when Naruto is weakened and kidnap him. Or maybe they're just hoping Sasuke/Orochimaru kills him so he wont be a threat anymore. After all, why lift a finger when someone else is willing to do it for you?

Well, the most reliable reason for this is because Kishimoto wants an excuse to have his time-skip.
Akatsuki proberbly wants to lay low for awhile, especially after their latest gig in Konoha, there's a reason why they don't go parading around although they're all as powerful as they are. (Besides the fact that they're all wanted men) Also, they seemed rather concerned that Orochimaru has "gained" the Sharingan, maybe this has something to do with that as well? |

Perhaps because Naruto and the Kyuubi are too unstable right now and they need three years for it stabalize. And then maybe they want Naruto to turn to their side by using the whole Oro and Sasuke situation. Oh I dunno >_< Ima wait till Kishimoto figures it out himself and decides to share

My theory is that they want the seal on Kyuubi to weaken further. The more Naruto uses that demonic power the more the seal weakens. Its like they're waiting for Kyuubi to marinate because they need a more unstable Kyuubi for their sinister plan.

If that is so, how do they know Naruto will be using it often enough to weaken it? And how do they know that it will take exactly three years for the seal to weaken to just the right amount? I'm with the "wait for Kishimoto to fabricate a good excuse" gang because I honestly can't come up with a convincing reason.

i thought it was because since orochimaru had gotten sasuke they believe that it is more important for them to kill oro before he gets the sharingan as he would then become a major threat then
then they will come after naruto but i think when they go to kill oro naruto will be tryin to save sasuke so itll be a three way battle |

I'v wondered this before and most people agreed it makes absolutely no sense.
It's stupid to leave a kid with the potential to become the greatest ninja ever because he has a Kyubi inside him with unlimited chakra, in the hands of one of the legendary sannin. So unless Naruto has to reach a certain "level" before Akatsuku can extract (or whatever they want to do with him) the Kyuubi from him, it's just plain bullshit.

actually i dont understand why they dont just crash all the ninja villages one by one starting with the strongest which is konoha
i mean konoha is so weak now i doubt it can stand an assult by 9 hokage level badasses and their minor baddies. and they could then just take naruto and rear him like cattle awaiting his slaughter or kyuubi removal |

I thought that the three year wait had nothing to do with Naruto, according to Inane's translation. It seemed they are setting something in motion and it will come to fruition in three years and it would be easier, at the time, if they have Kyuubi's power to help.

Well, I am guessing they are waiting on this REALLY REALLY good popcorn that takes 3 years to prepare... even with the blade flame from Itachi's eyes Think about it... do you think anyone is stupid enough to try to capture Naruto without an appropriate amount of popcorn? |
