"Hmm? Naruto, who's this Sasori you mentioned?"
Itachi asked, looking puzzled.
"Sasori... He's a Kage Level fighter, a rogue Ninja from Sunagakure..."
Naruto then told them about Sasori.
After listening to Naruto, Shisui realized who he meant. "Oh... So the man I saw that day was Sasori of the Red Sand... I could tell he was strong!"
Itachi fell into thought after hearing about Sasori.
Only after a long while did Itachi speak. "I think... Sasori isn't the key here. What really matters is the Akatsuki behind him!"
"Otherwise... Naruto wouldn't have sent Sasori to infiltrate the Akatsuki!"
With that, Itachi looked at Naruto.
"That's right..." Naruto nodded. "The Akatsuki is dangerous, so I need to keep track of its movements at all times."
"The Akatsuki, huh? I've heard quite a bit about it from refugees who came from Amegakure."
"The Akatsuki is a peace organization, but Itachi's analysis showed that it went through two phases."
At that, Naruto gave Itachi an interested look.

"In the beginning, although the Akatsuki wasn't as great as our red ideology, with its vision of equality for everyone, the Ninja who made up the organization still chose to help civilians and distribute food to refugees!"
"But at some point, the Akatsuki's goals changed. It stopped looking after and helping those civilians and refugees, and instead began gathering Ninja."
"If it had only been gathering Ninja, that wouldn't have been much of an issue. But the Akatsuki started aggressively snatching up assassination missions, war missions, and bounty jobs. It was as though it had turned from a peace organization
