There's to much about the Akatsuki that I don't know to make an valid choice. How ever, from what I dop know, I pick Itachi.

He easily beat Orichimor, transfered all his eye techniques into Sauskue upon death, learned from Madara, became Ombu before 18, and etc. Just broken.

How ever, Pain would have been an good pick. Problem is, I don't understand who Pain is (seeing as how the manga hasn't revealed it yet), and I'm lost as to how he acts as leader of Atatsuki, when Madar started it, but portrays the roll of Tobi. No bueno, I'm confussed.

Lol, Pains views of what should be done, is also weird too lol.

He wants to have world peace believe it or not, but by citing violence, that the world should learn of it's own mistakes.

I voted for Itatchi clearly because he is an "uchiha", and come on, Sharingan guys, Sharingan xD

i personally prefer deidara, he can make bombs, birds,etc,.
who wouldnt wanna do that?!
also, those hands could come in handy...
i still say thats dei is a chick though...

i prefer Itachi over Deidora.

DEFFINATELY Itachi. I love his techniques, like the MS and all that... SO COOL!

i like the way Sasori has taken over the kazekage body to make an ultimate human puppet.

Deidara ^^

His art really is amazing and I just love him

mine is Madara.. but he's not on the list.. LoL

since madara is out, i'll go with pain
