ok i think it is Uchiha Madara i had to add in Gaara's dad becuase well i think the AL looks like Gaara

I voted for other, I think It'll be Sakmo Hatake and the other member will be Rin.

Uchiha Madara could be the leader but there hasnt been enough information on him to anything for sure. The other choices were off as leader of AL, except for Yondaime, i voted other.

i do not belive it is Kakashi's father because Kakashi was there when he died he chopped his head off lol...

I thought he hung himself.. It could be Yondaime but not likely.

No he commited Harikari he stabs himself in the stomach then drags weapon up so he opens up his insides then someone finishs him off by chopping his head off that was kakashi a way to regain honor.

i chose uchiha madara, but didnt they say he died?

didnt they say Obito and Youndaime died???

Only thing we heard about him was from the Kyuubi.

Exactly he also states the Sharingan is eviler then his eyes which makes Uchiha's Evil.

I choose the classic Yondaime, there is no reason to keep him in the dark so long if it's someone we don't know, like Hidan or Kakuzu. And he's the only person who is supposedly dead that is powerful enough to be the AL. I'm not going to argue my point unless someone really tics me off.

Like Kaji said the Kyuubi is the only one to have talked about Madara. I believe what he said was that Sasukes chakra was more sinister than that Uchiha Madara, so we really know nothing else about him.

For people who still think Uchiha madara is the Akatsuki leader...

We all know that Uchiha Madara possessed the sharingan, but how come Kisame said that after seeing Sasuke's sharingan it was the 2nd time he had seen anyone else beside Itachi possess one (the first one being Kakashi).

So if Madara is the Akatsuki leader, kisame would have seen his sharingan (watever form it was at that time).

I dont think that Madara is the leader for sure, but an for Kisame not seeing a sharingan before itachi, and Kakashi is that when he met the leader he did not bother to use his sharingan, since they were not in battle.

I highly doubt that Uchiha Madara is the AL. He's about the same age as Shodaime Hokage, and they had a big fight which Shodaime probably won.
I don't think it's Yondaime because that would be stupid if the hero of Konoha was the main villain of the series.
It's not Obito because if Obito were in Akatsuki, he'd be Tobi.
It CAN'T be Gaara's dad because he was killed by Orochimaru before the Chuunin Exam finals.
It's not Rin because AL's a guy.
AL is someone we haven't seen yet.

probably other..

If it's anyone we've seen it's Madara, but I bet it's someone we haven't seen.

Who knows many high class guesses, but I guess we'll have to wait for Kishimoto.

I think it might be someone not introduced/known in the anime/manga as the AL. i sasy Obito and Tobi are the same person, though. Cause, didn't Obito ive up his left eye to Kakashi? And Tobi wears a mask for his right eye. As for the AL, I'm sticking with what I said.

Yondaime...is the leader. I'm positive...I can't wait till he's reveal so all of you can see. Gaara's dad???? LOL...no way.

We're just going to have to wait and see, I just hope they tell us soon or I'll commit seppuku ("hari-kari")

I don't think it can be Gaara's dad because you see him die when Oro. kills him.

Ima have to go with Konohamaru.

It's other, obvious guys. (Read the Manga again.)

I'll tell you why none of the following are the Leader.

Uchiha Madara: He has been spoken of only once, by Kyuubi, which doesn't prove anything. He has the Sharingan, or had it. Now if you watched episode 10, you'll find the Leader had Silver Eyes which probably leaves him out of the whole Leader situation.


Yondaime: The Fourth Hokage, many of you had a guess it's Yondaime, well it's sad to say, but hes not. If you read Chapter 327, you are able to see his lower face, which has Tattoos or Piercings. I don't think Yondaime wants Piercings through his Noise. He also has BLUE eyes, not Silver.


Obito: Hes DEAD guys, you wont be hearing much about him anymore. Why? When it's the Naruto Vs. Sasuke arc or Sasuke Vs. Itachi arc, in Sasukes visions, you'll hear that "You and Me are the Last Sharingan Users." or something in that way. That doesn't included Kakashi, since he got it off his best friend, as what we call a "Parting Gift." Also, if Obito was the Leader or Tobi, he would go Spaz at Itachi for killing his whole Clan.

Gaara's Dad: Hes also, regrettably, DEAD. Oro killed him, at the Final Chuunin Exams, that's all I need to say, since you see his DEAD in the sand, later in the Episode.

Rin: Ahh.. Rin, just like Naruto; Sasuke & Sakura. Mostly unknown about her, but shes a Girl, and most girls can't have Tattos, nor does she have Silver Eyes. She might be alive, since in the Kakashi arc, he states in his past, when Obito is about to die, he vows to protect her with his life, but back to reality, he then states that he has lost all close to him.

So all together, it's OTHER.

He also has a rainbow-ish skin/cloak/shield thing. That silver eye could just be a cover smilar to the rainbow thing, so that people couldn't make guesses at to who he is. I mean, if you know someone in the naruto series (other than in the fillers :P) that had silver eyes, please tell me. They could be AL.

That isn't a cloak, it's a device so Akatsuki clan members can talk to each-other without being right next to each-other, they call it something like "Teleportation" or something, as seen when they are extracting the 1 Tail Beast from Gaara. Also those are his real eyes, as thats the only thing you actually see in the "Teleportation" thing, such as when you see Itachi eyes in the so called, "Teleporation" thing. :P

~Sensi

I really think it's Gaara's dad. There's a clue that the dad we've always seen might be a puppet or something. Nobody's ever seen how he really looks like except in the flashbacks. Also, why else would he want to kill Gaara besides being ashamed of him? Another reason would be for the shukaku. Uchiha Madara probably was alive 400 years before the start of the series.

Also think about this. The possibility exists, for Uchiha Madara and the Yondaime.

Remember how the Uchiha's could deactivate the Sharingan? I remember, ever think that Uchiha Madara has it deactivated? And don't say "Well Itachi has his activated all the time!" so what?!the reason he has it activated all the time is because of his deteriorating eye sight due to the Mangekyou Sharingan. So he constantly has it activated so he isn't blind. And Uchiha Madara might also have Mangekyou Sharingan, but he's not out fighting a lot.

For the Yondaime. It's possible that he changed his look within the past 15 years sense he left the village. I mean it took Naruto and the other's 2 and a half years to change. Why can't the Yondaime?

I'm not saying that it's either of them, I'm just saying that they are still a possibility.

And Huyga Uchiha. No way Madara was alive 400 years before. The Kyuubi spoke of him and he only attacked the village once. Which was 15 years ago. That is obviously when the Kyuubi saw him.

The Kyuubi is a mythological demon. It's pretty much immortal, so there's no reason it couldn't have encountered Uchiha Madara a while in the past.

Exactly, it's not like the Kyuubi was created and then started attacking Konoha. The kyuubi could have encountered Madara when the Uchiha Clan was just beginning to grow! Besides, Uchiha's have black eyes when they're not using their sharingan. And, I still think it's Gara's dad and that he faked his death.

Well in mythology the Bijuu were gods, they always existed. So no kyuubi was NOT "growing up". Plus I'm pretty sure the Kyuubi wasn't growing up on earth. He was most likely in the demon realm or some other place like that.

So.. he attacked the village once and it was then that he meet Uchiha Madara. Also they're eyes don't HAVE to be black. And his eyes aren't silver people. They're grey -_-

The Kyuubi existed long before it attacked Konoha village. You're saying the only time the Kyuubi could have met Madara was when he attacked the village?

He easily could have run into him before. It's not like the Kyuubi sprang into existence, then immediately began attacking the village.

Exactly, and who's to say the kyuubi attacked more than once? The kyuubi could've attacked during the 2nd or 1st hokage's lifetime.

There is no mention of the Kyuubi attacking Konoha before, and I'm pretty sure it would have been mentioned before,

And yes, it is VERY possible that the Kyuubi appeared out of no where and immediately attacked Konoha.

Also, I don't think Madara's encounter with the Kyuubi would have been a pleasant one. I'm pretty sure the Kyuubi would have killed him if he ever meet him before in real life.

As should need no pointing out, the story of Naruto focuses around the current time period. It does not delve overly into the past. There can be no assumptions made about the past.

The Kyuubi could easily have been alive since the beginnings of the Earth for all w know.

And clearly, it could not kill Madara when it encountered him, hence the hate for the Uchihas and Madara himself. Madara was more powerful than the Kyuubi, hence why he speaks of him with such hatred.

The Akatsuki Leader is the Pein!
