Going by the US version of Naruto Shippuden, Sai is introduced in episode 33 of season 1 when Danzo gives him his mission. Naruto meets Sai when he is searching for a third team mate to fill the gap in Team Kakashi. Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji fight against Sai but he easily disappears before naruto even lands a blow. It is after this first encounter in episode 34 that Naruto learns that Sai will be Sasuke's replacement with the addition of a substitute captain code named Yamato, a member of the Anbu Black Ops Division.

First of all, there are 11. The team has only nine at a time, but one member (Orochimaru) was defected from the group and one (Sasori) was killed and replaced by Tobi. Here is the complete list of members (past and present):Itachi Uchuha and Kisame Hoshigaki.Akasuna no Sasori, Orochimaru, Deidara, and Tobi.Pain and Konan.Hidan and Kakuzu.Zetsu
The Akatsuki caught sight of Deidara, and Pain ordered Itachi Uchiha, Sasori, and Kisame Hoshigaki to recruit him. Itachi made a bet with Deidara, saying if he lost, he would have to join Akatsuki. If Deidara won, he would leave him alone. Deidara was easily defeated by Itachi's Sharingan and joined Akatsuki. This fight created Deidara's loathing for the Sharingan, and a huge impact on his egotistical personality.
yes, but i think konan don't like hein one episode ( i forget the number ) Deidara was lookin for konan all the timebut i mostly think konan like pain other than deidara
it was a flashback from an episode.
Presuming you mean the "Justice League" series (2001-2006), there is no such episode where he 'meets them'. He was there at the end of "Secret Origins Part 3" when they decided to become a team but he declined to become a full member but told them to call when they needed him.
