When was this said.

If you think back to the Kage summit meeting he was being accused by the others for using Akatsuki. He said that he had to use them to keep up with the other Villages rapidly increasing strength.

I know I kinda just answered my own question lol but I was curious if there were any specifics mentioned in the manga.

 

[InfiniteMugen]

It was never stated specifically and I'm pretty sure it's never mentioned again, so who knows

 

[Exaar]

I'd assume either an Assassination or Intel Gathering.

according to Onoki, he hired the Akatsuki as military contractors so Iwa could save money towards building a strong military force of their own.
