    Wasn't the statue summoned by zero? I was just assuming it would disappear when they were finished with it like other summons. By the way is anyone else wondering why Anima from FFX is being used for the extractions? I got it......Zero is Yuna's brother and Naruto is going to cross over with Final Fantasy.

    Hmm... I don't remember anymore. But if that's the case, then they would likely just find an empty cave except for Gaara's body. Though Deidara and Sasori would still need to find a dark hole to crawl into to hide (really dark and deep to fool Kakashi's dogs), because they were physically there, even if the rest were just holograms and summons. They would have no need to fight, though, if there was nothing to defend. Not that they could fight in their present condition, but anyway...

    I think a jinchurriki arriving at the entrance to the Akatsuki hideout would be a good incentive to fight

    Why? They can only do the ritual once every 3 years. What good is Naruto to them now?

    Anyway, they're setting this up to make Akatsuke badguys for a long time to come, since they're supposed to be such powerful ninjas, they shouldn't be beatable by Jounins and chuunins. So instead, they only fought 2 members at 30% power, and now they're gonna fight 2 more that are exhausted. So yeah, they're probably gonna lose.

    I wonder how long in the series it's gonna take before someone has to go 1 on 1 with a full powered akatsuki member.

    Where does it say that? I thought they just didn't want to get Naruto yet because they wanted to seal him last or something since he's the nine-tails... And coincidently it just happens to be 3 years later...

    Otherwise yes, but I got the impression Naruto's bijuu wasn't even assigned to that pair (Sasori & Deidara). And besides, I doubt in their present condition they would even try, no matter if the opportunity is offered like this. After all, nothing really forces them to fight if they don't need to defend anything anymore, and thus dying while trying to capture a jinchuuriki sounds like a dubious tactical decision.

    Kyuubi is assgined to Itachi and Kisame. That's why they were after Naruto.

    Also, I thought the bijuu would be transfered to one of the akatsuki. So they could use the power of the bijuu. But it seems like they just gather them and use it somehow...

    I believe that once a few ep's back Sasori reffered to Shukakku as "my bijuu" or something to that effect. The transfer of the bijuu into another person is likely a difficult thing, it's possible that Zero has designed this "statue" they are using as a container to hold them until they collect them all so that they can transfer all them into their respective members at the same time.

    I'd like to know where in the anime people are getting the idea that Zero can only summon the Bijuu extractor once every three years? I remember him saying that it's been three years since the last time they all got together, but I didn't take that as meaning they if they caught a Jinchuuriki prior to that, they couldn't extract its Bijuu...

    I thought only Oro's body-switching technique has had a declarative time constraint on it. Maybe I'm wrong...

    Clearly it takes alot of effort from all nine Akatsuki members to extract a Bijuu, and I seriously doubt they'd be able to do it immediately with Naruto, even if they somehow managed to beat the two Konoha teams and Chiyo. I think Deidara and Sasori are going to be fighting just to escape.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    He didn't refer to Shukakku as his Bijuu. He told Deidara that now that they had found his, they needed to focus on FINDING Sasori's. Sasori still cannot find his own Jinchurriki.

    In my eyes, I only see Sasori and Deidara fighting because it was their responsibility to bring Gaara back to the cave with little to no attention, and they failed. They now have to step up to the plate and stop Gai and Kakashi's team.

    I've got a question though... How come it seems that anyone that comes across Naruto, can always relate to him through a dead relative?

    hmz... Kingdom Hearts 3.. Final Fantasy + Naruto.. would be a weird combo..

    I'm not sure if Akatsuki can only do this once every 3 years.. but I can't recall what was said exactly in the episode where Jiraiya said something like that.

    I didn't see it as Naruto using Kyuubi as a speed boost, but rather what happens everytime Naruto is pissed.

    I thought at first that Naruto would simply crush the huge rock that seals the cave in pure rage, but seems like they'll use a more silent way
