Everybody Loves Itachi
Itachi was popular. He had the certain look that girls (and some guys) all wanted in a lover. This, Kisame knew. He knew just how fucking popular Itachi was before and after the Great Crime. But god fuck this was fucking ridiculous. The Akatsuki's goal was the collecting of the nine Bijuu and their Jinchuuriki. But Itachi did a five year plan in less than a day. The extraction of the Bijuu from the eight Jinchuuriki somehow revert them to young children (the three-trailed beast easily subdued after being located in the great ocean and sealed away) and they all attached themselves to Itachi, calling him otousan.
And because the now-chibitized former Jinchuuriki, Itachi got even more women flocking to him, finding his fatherly personality a cute charm. But this was tolerated, when the Akatsuki eliminated all war and pain and suffering across the Elemental Nations. But even then; everybody loved Itachi (except Sasuke but the idiot got himself killed by a Missing-nin thinking he had tougher balls; Zabuza justly proved that).
