Glad to know that you agree....=D
Yeah he was gay...=D.
No need to be salty, I know your a sausage fanboy and so I really can't take you seriously....
I am glad it ended that way....Kishi must've realized that he made Suckura too much of a b!tch and so paired her with Naruto's new pet Sasuke....
Itachi was an S rank ninja from the bingo book and maybe you do not know but all the villages try to bring back or eliminate rogue ninja's from their villages. I agree it was not top priority back then but does not mean he wasn't being kept on eye on. Jiraiya for example constantly monitoring the akatsuki activities.
They started searching for Itachi more seriously in order to bait Sasuke and bring him back which was all thanks to Naruto and Tsunade who didn't want to eliminate Sasuke as a missing nin.
Regarding Oro, Oro tempted Sasuke with promises of more and quick power and Sasuke being too jealous and butthurt over Naruto's superiority and in a hurry to gain power fast and beat Itachi took the bait.
Well, he took the CM seal quite happily and Oro being Oro certainly would've expermented with Sasuke with or without his knowledge and ignoring Sasuke's dislike, after all he was preparing Sasuke to be his next vessel and he was short on time to make Sasuke ready by that time. I know being a fanboy you'd disagree but still I thought that I should give it at least a try....
Wehen did I imply oro was lying, I always agreed Oro was Sasuke's shortcut to power.
Sasuke was just high on drugs to train...=D
And you're being salty sir...
