== Why can't we just put Tobi and Madara's articles together? ==
{{Annual report|[[Wikipedia:2007 Top 50 Report|2007]]}}
{{archives}}


==Merged==
In my opinion, this is just stupid. y cant we just merge the info together? They are the same person! No one has refered to him as Tobi except for himself. Pain, Konan, And Zetsu know that he is Madara and call him by that name, the only one that doesn't know is Kisame. I'm pretty sure a lot of people want this to happen. Why is it not happening then? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.214.76.123|12.214.76.123]] ([[User talk:12.214.76.123|talk]]) 20:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
[[Akatsuki (Naruto)]] was merged to [[List of Naruto villains#Akatsuki ]] per the consensus reached during lengthy discussions (archived [[Talk:Akatsuki (Naruto)/Archive 15#Merge|here]]). As such, this talk page is, for all practical purposes, an archive and no new discussions should be started here. All discussions regarding the merged Akatsuki contents should be taken to [[Talk:List of Naruto villains]].




The old talk archives, as well as the last discussions, are available in the archives linked above. The articles previous PR/GA/AfD history appers below [[User:AnmaFinotera|AnmaFinotera]] ([[User talk:AnmaFinotera|talk]]) 03:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
== Pain isn't the Leader ==


{{talkarchive|List of Naruto villains}}
Im pretty sure that because Madara made Akatsuki, and gives orders to Pain, that Madara is the Leader. Only Kisame refers to Pain as Leader. Pain, Konan, and Zetsu all obey his direct orders. so that means 3 out of the 4 members besides Madara serve him. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.214.76.123|12.214.76.123]] ([[User talk:12.214.76.123|talk]]) 20:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Yet more proof that Tobi is Madara in chapter 397 (not that any more was needed). He states that he himself, personally, is Madara Uchiha.

Pein is the real body. The Pains are the Rikudou bodies! (UTC)

Could it just be possible that Pain/Pein's name was translated wrong? Maybe Kishimoto never intended his name to be written as "Pain" in english. Pain in japanese Is Itami, Kurushimi, Kushin, Itazuki, and/or Kutsuu. Could one of these be his name? ([[User:DaMakDaddy|DaMakDaddy]] ([[User talk:DaMakDaddy|talk]]) 01:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC))

Itachi's dead now, so what does it even matter? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/75.157.112.148|75.157.112.148]] ([[User talk:75.157.112.148|talk]]) 18:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Right i think this is very nessisary to seperate Itachi. He has been in Shippuden and the naruto manga load's recently and has been the subject of very important plot's. Before Orochimaru was the main Antagonist but now it's pretty much Itachi. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.145.242.2|81.145.242.2]] ([[User talk:81.145.242.2|talk]]) 22:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Is there enough reliable third-party sources to justify a split, though? It doesn't matter how important a character is to the plot. If there are no reliable third-party sources that will allow the character to pass the [[WP:N|notability guideline]], then it shouldn't be split off. --'''[[User:TheFarix|Farix]]''' ([[User talk:TheFarix|Talk]]) 22:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Well if you take a look at www.leafninja.com you will find out alot about Itachi. And i mean alot. And if you mean reception on the character you can find it at the official naruto site [I Think that's the one though it could be the different one] I Think Itachi deserve's to have his own article. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/81.145.240.49|81.145.240.49]] ([[User talk:81.145.240.49|talk]]) 12:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Where?[http://www.leafninja.com/fullbio.php?p=Uchiha_Itachi] all the information is plot overview. About reception we need more than merchandising, we need critics of the character, pay a look at Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake that are GA now.--'''[[User:Tintor2|Tintor2]]''' ([[User talk:Tintor2|Talk]]) 12:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

:leafninja is not a reliable source and the official Naruto website is not a third-party source. So you strike out at both ends. A fiction character does not deserve their own article until the notability of the character can be demonstrated through reliable third-party sources. --'''[[User:TheFarix|Farix]]''' ([[User talk:TheFarix|Talk]]) 12:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

If Itachi gets killed soon then he is just a plot device. In the event he's not it is likley that he will become a main and noteable character. Even if we just use the manga itself it is still better than nothing... But I feel this will not matter because it is likely he will die soon.

:What does that have to do with him passing [[WP:N]] or [[WP:FICT]]? --'''[[User:TheFarix|Farix]]''' ([[User talk:TheFarix|Talk]]) 10:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm just saying that if he dies soon that their is no way he will pass the FICT (he would just be a plot device). And I think that there is a good chance that he will die soon (90%+). But there is a good chance if he does not die soon he will become a very important character. If that is the case we should have an article on him just, even if he does not on secondary sources, to make the wikipedia Naruto series consistent. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/134.84.102.76|134.84.102.76]] ([[User talk:134.84.102.76|talk]]) 17:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:That does not matter, what a character needs to get its own article is out-of-universe information; no importance in the plot. Even this [[Troy McClure|minor character]] from the simpson has its own article for having out-of-universe info and its a [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|FA-class]].--'''[[User:Tintor2|Tintor2]]''' ([[User talk:Tintor2|Talk]]) 12:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I agree that Itachi becoming an important character in the Narutoverse would not give him an article under wikipedia's noteablity gudieline. But I would like for him to have an article anyway so the wikipedia's naruto series is logically consistent and not a bunch of random articles. But as I said before this will likley not matter due the fact that there is a good chance he will die soon. If you want to see a wikipedia anime series with too many artices check out Bleach. (edit: it is very likley Itachi will meet the noteablity gudeline soon if he becomes a major character -- so it won't matter the other way to. At least someone will make a figure of him or something silly like that.)

Susanoo is the god of the sea and storms and is often described as a shark man. Kisame is a "Shark man" and uses Suiton abilities.

Susanoo uses a sword. Kisame uses a sword.

Although I disagree with Itachi being dead (how can you tell if a picture of a character is breathing or not?) his page needs to be cleaned up.

I don't remember what chapter it was, i think the one with itachi fighting Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Chiyo. but when Deidara and Sasori bring Garra's body to the hidout, when everyone is getting ready, it shows a member with spiky hair that goes back. it wasn't Kisame because he didn't have a sword. and it wasn't the leader. and in a picture of Akatsuki, there is a person standing by Pain who has spiky hair. i just think it should be added. for all we know, that was Madara helping to seal Shukaku. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/12.214.76.123|12.214.76.123]] ([[User talk:12.214.76.123|talk]]) 21:33, 18 March 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:That could have been Kakuzu before his design was finalized, or maybe it was Kisame but he didn't have his sword on his back.

It could have been Zetsu, Madara or Kisame without a sword. It was definatly not a tottaly unmentioned character, the picture might not have been clear enough to tell which Akatsuki it was.

== Amaterasu Detail ==

As of now the statement about Amaterasu says that the fire burns until the recipient is turned to ash. While this is true the technique is still under Itachi's control and he can indeed stop the flames from spreading at his will as seen in Manga Chapter 390.

It says that each eye technique is "progressively more taxing for him to use, such that after performing Amaterasu his eyes begin to bleeds", but thiat may have just been from him overusing the Mangekyo Sharingan in general, as he was shown to be going blind during the course of the battle.

(plus, Itachi's dead, so I don't know how he would be having a conversation) [[User:Jazz Band Member|Jazz Band Member]] ([[User talk:Jazz Band Member|talk]]) 10:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

397 finally aired. Nevertheless it has not been stated or leastly indicated that itachi is still alive. It seems more likely that itachi is really dead guys, refering to tobi's statement saying that itachi implanted all his three final eye techniques into sasuke to protect him from, as likely as not, tobi/madara.

please read the latest chapter! --[[User:Tommyss|Tommyss]] ([[User talk:Tommyss|talk]]) 09:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:Itachi's dead, he gave his powers to Sasuke in an attempt to both protect him and kill Madara and now Madara's gonna explain to Sasuke why Itachi was a goody-two-shoes all along. End of story, unless Kishi makes Itachi a Pain or something like that. [[User:AnimeNikkaJamal|AnimeNikkaJamal]] ([[User talk:AnimeNikkaJamal|talk]]) 13:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

In my opinion I think it should be added that Itachi is dead in his profile on this article. SasoriMan8395 5:04 P.M.

== About Itachi's true intentions ==

In chapter 397 it is apperantly shown that Itachi was never truly evil. Because Madara Uchiha said that Itachi risked everything to protect the Shinobi world,the Leaf Village and most of all, Sasuke.But in his article, it gets the impression that he was evil.Any thoughts about that? <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:AngelicMasterMind|AngelicMasterMind]] ([[User talk:AngelicMasterMind|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/AngelicMasterMind|contribs]]) 21:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Well,I think that right now,the extent of what Itachi did is pretty vauge,so it should probably be kept how it is until the next chapter in May,when we should be able to make a complete statement on the matter.[[User:XLS724|XLS724]] ([[User talk:XLS724|talk]]) 17:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

:: People, this is just a twist in the story. naruto creators do it all the time. its common ammong entertainment. The whole thing about tobi being madara was a plot twist. this is just another one to keep the ratings up for naruto. The media does this more often than naruto eats ramen(sorry, just though i could use a funny analagie hehe..) -[[User:Tobi4242|Tobi4242]] ([[User talk:Tobi4242|talk]]) 20:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Agh! Thankyou Tobi4242 for having sense amongst a lot of the narutofan community. A lot of people seem to forget that Naruto is JUST A STORY NOT REAL LIFE, and as a story, it HAS to have plot twists to keep ratings up. Tobi 'apparently' being Madara is one of them, Itachi now apparently actually being a good guy (something I actually thought the whole time) is also among them. It then raises the suspiscion that perhaps Kisame has good intentions despite his sadistic comments (Kisame was said to be banished for deaths of feudral lords and planned assassinations, this could be because the government in the Water Country was corrupt and Kisame was fighting for the free peoples. This would also explain why Itachi and Kisame are the only non-rain combo who get along). That said,...Tobi is definately Obito. I'm not ruling out that Madara will have an appearence or is in possession of Obito, but the body of Tobi is Obito for ratings sake. Whats more interesting? Sasuke meeting an age old ancestor (YAWN)? Or Kakashi meeting up with his good friend and teammate now his enemy (YEAH! COOL!) I think the answer is obvious. Theres tons of reasons why Tobi is Obito anyway. Hello? Earth Jutsu, and Obito was last seen surrounded by who? Earth Country Ninja. And please don't use the 'But thats too obvious to be a plot twist!' argument, remember the 4th hokage and naruto? zomg I never guessed they were related!

== Merge ==

I think we've dodged the issue long enough. People have gone on and on about "future notability" and "unfeasible merging," but we're really sidestepping the issue. We aren't going to get significant reception in the near future (or perhaps ever), and if there ever really is reception given, it will be for specific characters (Itachi, maybe Deidara). [[List of Naruto villains]] has been cleared to the point where this merge is entirely feasible also. Besides the characters, the content on this page is a giant load of in-universe details that look more appropriate for the ''Naruto'' wikia. Merging is best. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="navy">'''Sephiroth BCR'''</font>]] <sup>'''([[User talk:Sephiroth BCR|<font color="blue">Converse</font>]])'''</sup></font> 05:58, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

:I agree. This should be cleaned up and merged into the villain list. The only items not sourced from manga volumes are the voice actors. The group as a whole seems to have no real world notability and significant coverage. [[User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[User talk:Collectonian|talk]]) 06:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

::<s>I'm kinda on the fence with this one. On the one hand, the merge would satisfy the notability problem that this article is facing, and also combine the Tobi/Madara sections making them easier to read, but on the other hand, we already have three outside sources, I think, (Is the Anime News Network considered an outside source, because I think so) which leads me to believe that the next time I overdo it on the Monster and can't sleep, I can find even more from them regarding Akatsuki. I think templating for merge is the step that should be taken at this point and I would be more than willing to do so.</s> [[User:Sasuke9031|Sasuke9031]] ([[User talk:Sasuke9031|talk]]) 06:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

:I agree with the merge (thanks sephiroth for the message). I remember making [[User talk:Tintor2/ draft#Itachi Uchiha (Yes, this still lacks a lot)|this draft]] with reception of Itachi Uchiha and I could find almost nothing (and dont even think about conception). Also, the sections wardrobe, goal and overview are overdetailed (for example the rings) and most editors may one day take this article to AFD (again).[[User:Tintor2|Tintor2]] ([[User talk:Tintor2|talk]]) 13:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

'''Support merge'''. No out-of-universe, and now that we have '''FOUR''' GA's, there isn't an excuse to keep in-universe articles anymore. While Naruto and Gaara can make GA, the rest, besides current GAs, should be merged. This includes Akatsuki, Jiraiya, and Tsunade. I am concerned on how the merge will turn out, however. What info will be kept and lost? [[User:Artist Formerly Known As Whocares|Artist Formerly Known As Whocares]] ([[User talk:Artist Formerly Known As Whocares|talk]]) 23:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Merged

Akatsuki (Naruto) was merged to List of Naruto villains#Akatsuki per the consensus reached during lengthy discussions (archived here). As such, this talk page is, for all practical purposes, an archive and no new discussions should be started here. All discussions regarding the merged Akatsuki contents should be taken to Talk:List of Naruto villains.
