could be possible. i think the 3rd knew about it. maybe he didnt want anyone to know because that might tarnish the 4th's credibility since konoha that time regard the Kyuubi as an evil, destructive entity. here's the thing, maybe they just misjudged the Female Akatsuki's hair color as purple/violet. maybe it's red after all. :|
its very quite.
g'morning guys *still has LSS of Nickelback's Rockstar*
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We'll all stay skinny as we just won't eat
And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger's
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blonde hair
And well...
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
FFUUUUSSSHHHH~~~~~~~~~~~~~
