Akatsuki organisation was in fact scared of Orochimaru and acknowledged his power.

So? Orochimaru knew he was too weak to challenge Itachi, something he stated in the manga yet the whole organization is scared of him? lmao, no.

You know that not everything is about firepower?

at that point in time oro was one of the weakest members...nobody was scared of oro, and the akasuki were a bigger threat to konoha than oro...oro had 2 entire villages attack konoha+ had a planned it out for years and still lost...nagato sent in a tech of his(the 6 paths of pain) and one of the 6 nearly destroyed all of konoha, so how was the akatsuki not a bigger threat than oro??? when one member did more than oro and 2 villages combined...and if they were so scared why did itachi let him live??? if they were scared of him surely at that moment itachi would have killed him to end this fear of oro that u imply right?

and sasori expressed many time that he was going to kill oro, u dnt fear someone that u believe u can kill

the truth is oro knew a lot of things about the organization and could make there goal harde to reach if he started spilling the beans on them, and oro made things a lot easier for the group as a whole possibly rather than his replacement....and the scan where deidara seems to think it would take longer than 3 days, pain did if u think so, then lets start, which is like saying there is no difference without him, and u fail to forget that nagato is the one actually doing the phantom seal on the bijuu, which means he's exerting the most, which means most of the load is on him which further implies why he told deidara(if u think so), my point is when oro left nagato had to do more, thats all

There wasn't even one legit fight between Orochimaru and an Akatsuki member. Such arguments make no sense.



1. I donte't see them making a meeting if Deidara or Hidan left. They were really bothered by Oro's quitting.

2. If I remember correctly Orochimaru was number 1 in the Bingo Book. So no, Akatsuki members weren't bigger threats for Konoha.

3. I'm implying that because Kisame didn't say that it would just take more time. He clearly was surprised when Pain stated '3 days'. It's a clear implication.

4. Ofc Hashi DNA is no joke. But Obito was cursing Orochimaru for transplanting it to Danzou. Actually, Orochimaru was the only one in manga to have managed to do such thing - Mokuton is amazing the way it is, but originally it's bound to Hashirama. But having an ability to give Mokuton to others is an amazing feat.

5. Ok, I may have fanboyed a little ;D

I'm only going to say something about 1 and 2.
1. They never tried to leave so we don't know how the Akatsuki would react but I'm pretty sure they'd try to kill them just like Orochimaru.
2.

Your wanking knows no bounds. Sasori wasn't scared of Orochimaru. None of the Akatsuki were. They just wanted to kill him.

Itachi solo'd him then went on to make fun of him with the rest of akatsuki of how he got solo'd.
