If you join us, not only will you have a better atmosphere of elites but you'll also have the greatest opportunity to become the strongest shinobi in the world."ĪL: "Your hesitation is based on the love for your clan, but what if they secretly fear you? Fear you enough to arrest you for crimes you wouldn't commit, fear you enough to execute you for beliefs that they don't agree with, fear you enough. You already ARE a better shinobi than all of them combined. But I know something about you that you don't. Maybe he thinks he can't, which is how the AL manipulated Itachi to join them (the promise of power.).ĪL: "You can become stronger than your entire clan, if you wish to join us. Either Itachi is seeing through the AL's plans now and seeing him for the asshole that he is (his hesitation to tell Sasori and Deidara who Naruto was and the AL ordering him to tell them immediately.), or Itachi is just fearful of the AL and knows he cannot beat him. He seems to be the strongest out of all of them and even Itachi does what he says.

Yes I see Sasuke killing off at least two Akatsuki members, one being Itachi and one possibly being Tobi or one we haven't seen yet.Īnd we also don't know exactly how the AL thinks. But the point I'm trying to make is that, if one Akatsuki member was weak enough to be defeated, wouldn't they want that person in their organization to keep it strong?
