this may sound like a stupid thread but hear me out. i havent seen this as a thread yet so sorry if it already came up.

Does pein and co (akatsuki) know that naruto is the fourths son

[Heaven's Cloud]

The only one who would possibly know is Madara. Itachi might have known because of his status back when he was apart of konoha, but I kinda doubt that.

I think the real question would be "Do they care?" Anyways, I don't believe it matters whether they know if Naruto is the 4th's son or not. But to answer the question, I think they do. If they don't, the only person in Akatsuki who did know was Itachi.

I don't necessarily think they care that he is the 4th's son, but I do think they care that Naruto has the nine tails, and even worse, He has limitless pontential, and all that would would come back to his bloodline. And that would lead back to him being the 4th's son.

Madara and Itachi are/were probably the 2 people that know/knew that Naruto is the 4th's son. But I doubt they care.

i though that if they knew that they would be intimadated by that because he might have been taught some of his jutsus and if they knew the fourth they know he has some pretty strong jutsus

I think Itachi and Madara know... If not Itachi ,then Madara for sure.
Madara should know what happened exactly to The Nine Tails he Summoned.
I don't think they bother to tell Pain that.

Why would Itachi know? He was just a kid when it all happen.

I doubt he knew anything about that.

Madara? Maybe.

I figured Itachi knew just by how he referred to Naruto when fighting Kakashi for the first time. He referred to Naruto as "The 4th's Legacy". And being a former member of ANBU, I wouldn't be surprised if he was clued in on the specifics dealing with the Kyuubi.
