Itachi was recruited into Akatsuki at the age of eleven. Proof here: this is when he cut of Oros hand.

wait a minute!, you say. How could he be two places at once? He was surely an ANBU member at the age of 10?

this is why: danzo sent him on a mission to infiltrate akatsuki Danzo must have known about akatsuki back then, so he sent his best anbu member to gather info. We know that thats how Danzo operates, sending his members to distant land for long periods of time. Of course, what danzo did not take into account was Itachi working with Tobi as well, but thats a different story....

anyway, Itachi stays with akatsuki for two years, makes deals with obito and returns to become anbu captain for a short period before he kills off his clan with the help of obito.

Summary: According to the timeline Itachi was 11 when he cut off Orochimarus hand. Being An ANBU member simultaneously he could have been sent on a mission to infiltrate Akatsuki.

No ! Itachi was not 11 years old when he Joined Akatsuki because Itachi was renowned as AMBU's leader at the age of 13.

that is correct you know? i assume everyone knew oro and itachi were sent by danzo. Why do you think tobi didn't attack the leaf and tobi cursing oro for finding the secrets of hashirama, proceeding to implant them on danzo?

How can he be an Akatsuki member at 11 when he was Captain of the Anbu at age 13... Fail.

All of this above was never mentioned or anything else in the Manga nor Databook, which means that you presume that that happened, which make it fan-made.

Itachi didn't join Akatsuki until he killed his Clan, which happened when he become an ANBU Capitan, at age of 13.

I could have sworn that before Oro attempted to take Itachi's body he had said"To think the one who destroyed the Uchiha would join Akatsuki".
