Naruto: Who is the leader of Akatsuki?

I heard a lot of rumors that naruto's dad is the leader or the akatsuki...a.k.a the 4th hokage...but i saw a shadow of the leader in a picture and he had sharingan eyes...so who is the leader of akatsuki?

As far as we know, the leader is Pein. His eyes are called "Rinnegan" which are stronger than the Sharingan

There are hints that the leader might actually be Tobi, but no proof. There are hints Tobi might be Madra Uchiha, but no proof.

The 4th is dead and it was just a rumor started by fans that he was alive and was the leader of Akatsuki. Same thing with Tobi, people say he is Madra Uchiha, and he might be, but it hasn't been confirmed

Well Pein....But he takes orders from Tobi...Search up Pein on google and you'll see his picture

Naruto's da dis dead why would he be the leader

Who is Tobi?
I just wanna know :-)
I have a steam iron mashina named as tobi

pein is the leader of akatsuki and his eyes aren't sharingan they are rinnegan.pein is also known as nagato.he is from rain village.pein is also seen taking orders from tobi who some people say obito uchiha but others say he is madara uchiha.there is more of a chance of tobi being madara uchiha than obito uchiha because obito was crushed by a giant rock during a mission with kakashi and rin.

its pein...he has six bodies and rinnegan. however after tobi joins in akatsuki...pein i sseen taking orders from tobi hu is madara uchiha.

THE LEADER IS PEIN ONE OF JIRIAYAS FORMER STUDENTS. BUT WHATS WEIRD IS THAT IT LOOKS LIKE PEIN TAKES ORDERS FROM TOBI (WHO IS MADARA UCHIHA). SO TECHNICALLY U CAN SAY MADARA IS THE REAL LEADER.

Pein =]
