If the Akatsuki was still completely full by the time Team Taka arrived who do you think would be Sasuke's friend/training partner. Im thinking like a Naruto & Killer Bee type relationship.
not with Deidara since he hates the sharingans power and not with Itachi since at that time they were enemies and Akatsuki doesn't let two who oppose each other team up i think.
pain already got a partner Konan.
Hidan already got a partner Kakuzu.
Sasori is already with that Deidara.
Kisame also is with Itachi.
Madara was dead at that time........
so it's only Sasuke with (Zetsu or Obito)
that is if Sasuke joined without his teammates.
whisper*: perhaps.
