Akatsuki...

[GhostKaGe]

it'll prob be narutos mom or a sibling

[orn210]

i had the feeling that one of naruto's parent/sibling might be in akatsuki but not anymore dunno why

[Foomanchew24]

For a group to form some one has to start it. Usually that person is the leader. Thats what I think. Someone had to come up with the idea of starting the group, plus they operate in groups but there are nine of them so perhaps the odd man out is the leader of the group and all the others go out in goups.

I guess. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] With a nickname like 'Stoopider', what do you kind of expect?? hah.

Anyway, a 12 year old girl leader theory is definitly flawed, if the Akatsuki was formed by a girl same age as Naruto, she've probably formed the Akatsuki when she was really really young (Maybe 2 years old?? I bet the akatsuki was formed before Itachi murdered his village... so thats probably 6 years ago(?).. so it isn't actually possible.

The leader would have to be someone really Great. But I don't think he/she would be related to Naruto. This sharkface wanted to cut off Naruto's hands and legs. Unless he was only kidding.

there was nine, then orochimaru left, making it eight members left

man i really really wanna see the other members of akatsuki and i agree on there has to be som1 who started and some1 to hold that bunch together, but it would be really dumb to some1 really young or weak to lead that powerful bad guys

it's actually the fourth. they reincarnate him. but he lost all his memories.

and they'll try to use him to destroy naruto, but when he sees naruto he regains all his memories.
4th goes berserk and kills all members of akatsuki and everyone live happily ever after... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

THE END

if there is a boss of akatsuki, we'll know about him sooner or later, right now we don't have a clue if there even is a leader or not (even if it's logical that there should be a leader)

[?igma]

first of all, they arent after Naruto without a reason, so someone of them must've come up with an "idea" that would benefit "something".
After saying that it leaves us pretty clear of something, since Itachi and Kisame arent the ones thinking it up ,and knowing that there are 3 other groups of two searching for Naruto (which is kinda strange, since its pretty obvious who the nine-tails is and where to get him, but maybe that was some sort of mistranslation) there has to have been a tenth person, or Orochimaru has control over the group, pretending to have left it.
For the tenth person role, I'd say we are dealing with something that is not "human" (and no, its not an alien) And it has to be stronger then at least a couple of them together, since no-one would accept leadership from a weak person, even if he has great ideas.
I myself am thinking of some sort of "God" (meaning, somekind of Gamabunta, but more of a permanent resident) Since the kyuubi power could only be sealed by the forth into a human, because the 4th was said to have the most power of all Hokages, It would make sence for the leader to be a "summon"(not really a summon, but equally strong). If they are capable of putting the kyuubi power into the creature (which was given to us by Kisame , saying they'd have to extract his chakra).
Some other reason could be that someone had somesort of vision (hey , could be, right?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]) and they are actually trying to "protect"the world. Maybe Itachi was already member of the group before he killed his clan, which would put him murdering his clan in a different perspective. If someone foresaw trouble coming from that clan(or ,say, Sasuke grow stronger and more "evil" after the slaughter, so he could join the team) and Itachi had to kill them for that reason and the same goes for kidnapping Naruto.
Itachi saying that he only did it to test his strength is complete bullshit, because he already knew that he was stronger then any of them. More realistic is, that he would have had some excuse to make Sasuke hate him and at the same time prevent the true nature from coming out.

i think everyone most people agreed that itachi's reason for wiping out the clan is hard to believe and there must be soemthing behind it.

I agreed with you that he knows that he is the strongest in the clan and that his reason is just a cover for something else. but we just don't know what it is.....yet.

Then later when Naruto fights vs the Akatsuki, the leader girl eventually falls in love with Naruto or something like that. Creating a very strange tension in the show.

that would be totally gay, i would stop wtaching this show if that happened.

Actually, it would be the opposite of gay, by definition.

lol yea maybe but i didnt mean it like that, you can change "be totally gay" to "totally suck" "a big pile of horseshit" basicly you cna choose what you want to put there.

one more thing the akatsuki is 8 members right now, orochimaru left... thats why they work in groups of 2. 4 groups of 2 equals 8 and i dont think guys like orochimaru with his massive ego or itachi the sharingan monster would take orders from one guy if he wasnt reaaaaaaally powerful so its probably group decisions.

[Raven]

Who knows, maybe they're a group with similar interests, and they make group decisions. Who says there's a definite leader?

[DraGunZer0]

Maybe we all have the wrong idea. Akatsuki is probably just a group that gets together once and a while and does charity work for the poor and have picnics on warm sunny days. Kidnap Naruto? Nah, they just want to bring him along and spend sometime with the kid with Kyubi in him.

[jing]

It would be interesting if Sakura was the leader, she'd turn all evil like and crazy bitched woman.
Looks can be deceiving, remember Kabuto, he was a nice kid look alike and then we found out he indeed has a very evil look.

well... I can hardly believe it, I don't think they would take as their leader someone who looks like this :



maybe she's deceiving 'em, but why did she try to look like Jimmy from south park ??

I wouldn't be surprised if she start to stammer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT :

Ssssssss...ssssss....sssssassssssssssukkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkk...eeeeeee-kun !!

Yup. I agree. Since Naruto never had a proper childhood, their going to bring him and watch the soccer game. Then go out and have McDee's and have a fun time at the beach.
---------------------------------

Silent Snake : Don't be fooled by the Inner Sakura-Chan!! It could be a powerful Sakura demon just like the Kyuubi or the Sand hamster. Thus, Sakura COULD BE a Akatsuki member. Probably the leader as well. Or maybe it's Sakura's mother.

PROOF : We've heard her (Sakura's mother) speak to Sakura, but never seen her face.. Isn't it so mysterious??? So troubling... Thus, Sakura's mother might be the leader of the Akatsuki.

[SilentSnake]

well... I forgot about inner sakura demon, after all she kicked naruto's ass and konohamaru's corps asses when she gone all "inner sakura" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

her mother can be just imagined though, as we didn't really see her, neither her father [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] or maybe she has schizofrenia and is like jim carrey from "me, irene and myself" and as normal sakura she's just useless b*tch and as second personality she's a akatsuki leader.

maybe sakura's T1000 from Terminator 2, when she gone "inner sakura" she turned around in robotic way.

conclusion: Sakura's more than she pretend to be...

btw. Shukaku's a racoon, not a hamster [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

[Mae]

I think the hamster comment was a joke...

I am going to go with the Akatsuti have no leader. Itachi doesn't seem like much of a follower to me. Instead they all work together gathering strong jitsus and demons for some unknown purpose. Speaking of which, maybe Gaara should watch his back. He has a powerful demon too...

The Akatsuki = illuminati theory is, umm, interesting. Well, they are supposed to be everywhere.

[Death BOO Z]

Back to being half serious...
there's no chance that they all just happened to gather around and kiddnapp Naruto, what are the chances of 9 people having the same target? and besides, can anyone think of a reasonable reason that Itachi or Kisame would want Naruto for?

my guess is that there's someone who's pulling the strings behind, the only connetion between missing nins (as we know so far) is that they all have a thirst for power (either pyshical or political), and that's what cuased them to become missing nins. so maybe there's someone who promised them that if they work for him, he'll grant them that power? and he said that if they brought him Naruto he'll be able to give it to them...

Conclusion; the Akatsuki's leader is Kyubi, who after the sealing done to him by the 4th, is now powerless and unable to use his powers... it also explains why the kyubi inside Naruto is keeping him alive, so that he could be kidnapped and combined with the demon....

sure, my theory has some holes in it (how can kyubi exist in two places), but it's the best i can come up with, seeing how limited our knowledge about the Akatsuki's orginaztion is...

of course, there's still room for theories like 'naruto's mom is a crazy bitch who wanted Naruto to hate the leaf village and the world so he could become the perfect ruler of the universe" and "the female Kyubi is the leader of Akatsuki and she wants to ressurecet kyubi from Naruto's body"...
anything which isn't irrvertably stupid (Itachi being the leader, the 4th being the leader, Gai being the leader, etc etc) is fine by me...
