So, is this Orochimaru's Akatsuki?

[SageOfTheTenPaths]

the thing that disqualifies Orochimaru from being behind it imo is that i believe he would never implant Sharingan in anyone but himself. The only way he could be behind it is if he had already souped himself up using something from Madara's corpse. Again, my opinion.

He already implanted the eyes into Danzo.....
