no it doesnt make sense since kabuto has lived in leaf village since he was 3 years old or something like that. he was brought from another village during a war a medical nin took him to leaf and raised him and later he became orochimarus spy and did the chuunin exam a hell of alot of times. quitting at 3rd exam everytime since he is jounin level. if kabuto was akatsuki hokage would have known there is no way a ninja can leave the village that much unnoticed. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
What about Itachi then,Oro? It&#39;s all speculation.Who say&#39;s that he needed to leave the village? There could have been insiders,and you can&#39;t say the Hokage would have known,because he couldn&#39;t predict Orochimaru betraying him. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
ok i went over the line with hokage stuff but orochimaru and itachi werent akatsuki when they left the village orochimaru left in rage because he wasnt chosen as the 4th hokage and itachi left because he killed his family. they became akatsuki after they had left the village.
