Strongest in Akatsuki?

[CapsuleCorpJX]

Is it Itachi? But it seems like Itachi is being used as a foot soldier, running missions for his boss. So are there ninjas in Akatsuki that are stronger than Itachi?

On the other hand, in the anime (and maybe the manga, I forget), Itachi states that trying to kill Jiraiya would only end in both sides dying in the best case, and that bringing MORE men would not matter. So does that mean that even if Itachi asked his boss to help, it would not matter? That might mean Itachi is stronger than anyone in his organization.

no thats a translation error in the anime or just some crap they decided to throw in. he says nothing like that in the manga. all he says is that he overused his sharingan and must rest. you can work under ppl even if you are stronger than them the question is what does these ppl have that itachi wants, i doubt itachi is the one that wants kyuubi.

Actually, the current circulating translated manga chapter is incorrect (mistranslation)... Itachi says the same thing in the manga as he does in the anime.

hmm... wierd doesnt seem like something itachi would say "oh no i will die if i fight him lets run" thats basicly what he did.

just checked that chapter out and in it itachi is talking about the moon and the sun, how could someone translate that wrong? its more likely that he says he cant fight because he overused mangekyou sharingan, not like in the anime where he only says, we would die if we fight him.

It appears the Itachi is well aware of Jiraiya's strength and abilities, which is why he decided to flee.

Well, translation mistakes do happen from time to time, it all depends on the translator's knowledge of Japanese. For that particular manga chapter, it seems the translator just goofed on the translation. He/she translated Amaterasu as "sun" and Tsukuyomi as "moon", when in fact Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are both Shinto deities of the sun and moon respectively. But in reference to Naruto, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are both techniques of Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Although this may sound ironic, you can't trust some of the manga translations as 100% accurate unless they are from a reliable source such as Toriyama's World, Inane, BakaFish, etc. But, even reliable sources make mistakes from time to time.

Funny to see the Itachi-fanboys not wanting to believe that somebody might be stronger than Itachi.

yea there are some volumes that are translated bad. just seemed strange in a way. oh well i would like to have the bad part retranslated, would mean alot of job to someone tho..

kurpica who are you talking about?

[Knives122]

Anyway, right now Itachi is the strongest character introduced in Akatsuki, even if there are people above him, that doesnt mean they are stronger, they could just be the people who founded the group

[hornetmike]

Well i suppose it would make sense since Oro was also there and left. He most likely was not the strongest and therefore did not like that and left to become more powerful. he also did not like taking orders.

Fred? I thought akatsuki leader was Udon, that is why he owns Itachi, no?

[Stoopider]

Udon is second in command next to Fred. Your right Jing. Udon possibly could be as strong as Fred. But I think Udon has some ulterior motive.

[Toruxxx]

lmao yes udon is not as tough as fred but very close indeed. but no one can defeat fred he hasnt had a fight that last more then 5 secs!! beat itachi in 2.3secs

[samsonlonghair]

No way, Fred sucks. I kicked Fred's ass just last week, but all his friends spread it around that he beat me. That's how he became leader of Akatsuki; it's all Fred's propaganda that gave him his power.

[Stoopider]

Damn.. I knew Kisame fishface liked to lie.
