I have a theory on the leader of Akatsuki

[Terracosmo]

For a Naruto fan to even remotely accept the theory of Shino being the leader of Akatsuki, it would take a manga creator skilled enough to make such a plot twist believable.
These are skills that Kishimoto obviously does -not- have, so if Shino indeed turns out to be this mystery man that even Itachi seems to fear (which he won't); it will only be awkward if Kishi tries to pull it off.

I think it's quite safe to assume that Akatsuki's leader is yet another entirely new character, though I'd like for at least one of the unrevealed members to have a relation to an established character (imagine one of them being Rin - that would own).

Jiraiya's a badass ninja. I don't think gathering information is too hard for him to do. Yet I agree that everytime he says something like:
"I have my sources..." it does seem rather suspect. hmmm.

@terra: it's a dumb theory, but who knows? I have confidence that if it was Shino, Kishimoto would pull it off pretty well.
And it would own if one of them was Rin. (do we even know for sure if she's dead??)

The only thing that suggests that she's dead is when Kakashi said that everyone close to him was already dead.

I think it would fit into the plot if she ended up being one of the members.
