Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden overall story.

Question

Hey, Ive been wondering who akatsukis leader is, people say that akatsuki's leader is Pein, and some say that the real leader is ether Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Obito.

So I looked up it in wikipedia and it says clearly that Pein is the leader.But my question is why have all theese things been shown in the mangas but not in the anime, I my self watch anime and I dont read manga at all.Its like they keep this info in the manga intentionally so that people buy the mangas just to know certain things.I have never seen: Tobi,Madara,Konan,Obito in the anime.Theres some members that have been shown like: "Itachi,Deidara,Sasori etc."

Answer 1

Technically, the leader is Pein.  But Tobi somehow is the true leader, since Pein takes orders from him. It hasn't been explained in detail yet. The manga is behind the anime, but by how much, I don't know.

Answer 2

The manga is ahead of the anime.

*Spoilers* [I guess xP]

Pein is the Leader but he takes orders from Tobi/Madara, so technically Tobi is the true Leader of the Akatsuki.

[Edit:] I'm not absolutely sure how much ahead it is because I only read the manga and seldomly watch Shippuden, but I'm sure by 80+ episodes because of all the fillers.

Answer 3

Pein is the leadder of the Akatsuki..

and the one rhat your not familiar with is because they havent been in teh show..just the manga

ITachi Deidara and Sasori have been shown
