^nobody know what is the meaning of the code.... kishi knows it(for sure).... on your question... yeah,the code will answer the true identity of pein... hey i've got a [b]very[/b] good theory here... [spoiler] i just recently came up with a theory, as we know there are nine villages in all naruto (10 if you count the movie, but lets not xD) and some of them are very well represented while the others are not, for me the ones we have seen quite a bit of, are: Hidden Leaf Village Hidden Sand Village Hidden Sound Village Hidden Mist Village Hidden Rock Village (Kakashi Gaiden) and the others are: Hidden Waterfall Village Hidden Grass Village Hidden Rain Village (filler arc doesn't count) Hidden Cloud Village (inside Lighting Country) Then my point is: there are 8 members in all Akatsuki and there are 9 ninja villages in all in naruto world, i think that each akatsuki member is gonna be from a different village thus representing them all. We have seen Itachi from leaf village (konoha), Kisame from Mist village, then Zetsu from Grass village, then Pein from hidden rain village, then Kisame from hidden mist, then Kakuzu from the waterfall, then Hidan is from a unnamed village(not counting),then sasori from the sand,then Orochimaru(not counting) and tobi(not counting too) and konan...from hidden rain then all in all....8 members.... other were neutralized or deceased...then others active.... but look konan and pein came from the hidden rain...and tobi and itachi from hidden leaf... then meaning zetsu and the others have the same teammate in the akatsuki.... therefore 1:2 1 village:2 members of akatsuki what do you think?[/spoiler]
