Also, Madara does seem plausible, because Kyuubi knows of him and considers him more cursed than even itself, which would make sense for the Akatsuki leader who apparently has no fear over using the powers of the bijuu. However, when kakashi hinted about the training naruto would go through, many, MANY ppl already concluded that he would use his MS to allow Naruto the time, no one would've guessed the Kage bushins. this alone suggests that kishi thinks outside the box, and would not use Madara or yondaime. But, we'll just have to wait and see.

Well then the leader will be someone we never expect or just someone we never seen I suppose. Any forgettable characters we've seen or heard who might be the leader? Maybe Ramen shop owner or Obito?
