can't you see what's going on? Pakkun's working the strings of Naruto and his village from behind the scenes, like puppets! He is the most powerful and influential figure in the world of naruto. He is EVERYWHERE, and he knows everything. It was HIM who stopped zabuza in his tracks, so cunning he is. Without Pakkun, Kakashi would be utterly helpless in carrying out missions. I bet Orochimaru wants to conquer the village of Konoha just so he can steal the pet dog for himself!
