Yo everybody! I'm Akatsuki Leader13.

Real Name: Not telling.

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Favorite Animes/Mangas: Naruto, Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Hellsing, Death Note, Gundam Seed/Seed Destiny, Gundam Wing, actually all of the Gundam series I like.

Favorite Video Games: Command and Conquer series (Especially the Tiberian universe. Peace Through Power!), the Legend of Zelda series, Dawn of War, it's expansions and Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Warcraft and Starcraft series, Final Fantasy 7 (the other ones are good too, but Vincent is just so awesome, he should have been the main character not Cloud), the Resident Evil series, Eternal Darkness, the Halo series, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Dead Space

There's one thing I need to talk about. Writers that bash Team 7 to the extreme or have them as evil or jackasses. Now I understand that there are people that hate them. But the senseless bashing of them is just pathetic and annoying. People love Naruto and when they see good guys who instantly like him, they seem to write them off as really being evil (Sasuke gets at lot of this treatment because of his defection) or they're jackasses. They're alot more complex than that and branding them as that is taking the easy way out.

Sakura: A lot of people like to bash her because she rejects Naruto's advances and is a total fangirl of Sasuke at the beginning of the series. But you know what, Sakura is flawed, like everyone else, and is the most normal out of the three of them. Plus, look at from Sakura's point of view. She knows nothing of Naruto's past and like the rest of Naruto's fellow genin, has no idea about Naruto's past. She's had never really interacted with Naruto before Team 7. And then there's Sasuke. The guy just about every girl in the class has a crush on. So when Naruto, the idiotic class clown, is constantly trying to go out with her, despite the fact she has repeatedly rejected him, it's natural for her to get annoyed with Naruto. Plus, I should point out that she as well as Sasuke, were shown as early as the Wave Arc to at least care a little bit about Naruto.

To me, Sakura is one of the more interesting characters. She's received a great deal of growth as a person. Possibly the most of anyone in the series. Going from fangirl that couldn't stand being on the same team as Naruto to a mature teen that strives to help her friends and teammates however she can. My only problem with her, is that she doesn't one big powerful attack like Naruto and Sasuke. Which I feel is an injustice to her.

Kakashi: A lot of people hate him for favoring Sasuke over Naruto and Sakura. I hate to break it to you people, but he did that once. At the Chunin Exams. And that was nessacary. Sasuke was going up against Gaara. A kid who would have killed Rock Lee if Gai didn't step in. While Naruto was going up against Neji, a guy who at worst, would have kicked Naruto's ass. Kakashi could really only teach one of them during the month. He chose Sasuke because Sasuke could likely die against Gaara. Plus he did get Ebisu to teach Naruto. Say what you will about him, he is the guy teaching the Hokage's grandson. He may be a prevert and an oddball, but he is a skilled teacher if he got that job. And Naruto badly needed to work on the basics. Kakashi didn't forget about Naruto, the opposite in fact. As he went out and managed to get Naruto the best teacher avaible to help Naruto imporve his skills.

Sasuke: Sasuke, the guy so many people hate and love to bash. It's not hard to see why. But frankly, look at his past. Itachi, whom he idolized as a child, kills their entire clan. Everyone he cared about dead by his brother's hands. Now I don't care who you are, that effects you. Considering he spend the following years alone, it's not that hard to believe that he would become a cold individual, obsessed with revenge. But there were signs that he was opening up. During Wave, he shielded Naruto from a barrage of ice needles. If he truly was evil or a jackass, why would he do that? When Itachi returned and was after Naruto, Sasuke chased after them, not to fight Itachi, but to find Naruto and warn him. Why do that if he really wanted to kill Itachi? Then after he beat Naruto at the Valley of the End, he could have killed Naruto and gained the Mangekyo Sharingan. Yet he didn't. All of which show that he isn't the simple power-hungry maniac that most people make him out to be.

Further more, I firmly believe that Sasuke will return to Konoha and Team 7 by the end of the series. Firstly, because Naruto said he would and he has a habit of doing the impossible. Then there's the numerous comparions between Team 7 and the Sannin. And they do share many similar traits. But there is one big difference. The Sannin remained together for many, many years. In fact, they didn't break apart until some time towards the end of the Third's first reign as Hokage. Where has Team7 was broken apart in less then a year. Suggesting that they reunite and take up their teachers' titles as the next Sannin. Finally, during Team Hawk's battle with the eight-tails, Sasuke had some flashbacks to Team 7, implying that he still cares about his former teammates.

The Dawn: This one was actually the very first Naruto story I had an idea for. I got the idea from a Youtube video I found in March 07. Basically in an alternate universe where the Akatsuki didn't exsit, Naruto lost control of the Kyuubi for an instant, destroying Konoha and killing almost everyone he cared about. Several years later, after extensive training and seeing the horrible, dark future that will befall the world, he and the few survivors of Konoha travel back in time, creating a whole new timeline. Vowing to stop that future, regardless of who gets in the way. They create the Akatsuki to bring eternal peace to the world. Story Status: Updates in the future

There is one other Naruto story I plan to write. I have two seperate ideas for it. The first is that Orochimaru saw the potential of all the members of Team 7 and gave all three members the curse mark. The other is that Naruto pushed Sasuke out of the way when Orochimaru was about to mark Sasuke, getting the mark instead. The Kyuubi, seeing this as his chance to corrupt or be free of Naruto, adds his own chakra to the curse mark, making it stronger and more powerful. As a further attack on Naruto, the Kyuubi uses his body to give the mark to Sasuke and Sakura.

These are story ideas I have, that I may or may not ever use. If anyone wants to use it, go for it. Just tell me.

Naruto: Naruto manages to bring Sasuke back at the Valley of the End. While Sakura and his other friends welcome the victorious Naruto back, Danzo moves to get rid of Naruto once and for all. In the end, Naruto is banished from the village. But he is not alone. Sasuke and Sakura follow after him. Disappearing into the shadows of their world, training and growing stronger.

Bleach: We've seen stories where Ichigo and Rukia trade places, or stories where another soul reaper replaces Rukia. But what if Rukia arrived at someone else's place instead? What if someone else became a soul reaper instead? You can use any human character for this, expect of course, Uryu.

Bleach: The Bount are what the Bleach world's humans believe are vampires. But what if they weren't the only experimental race the Soul Socitey created. What if they created some thing else. What humans call werewolves. I have a bunch of ideas for this race, though I haven't come up with a name for them yet. If you wanna hear these ideas, just ask.

Naruto: During the Sound-Sand invasion, a terrible curse is unleashed on the village, turning everyone into part-human, part-beast creatures. Many civilians succumb to their instincts, becoming little more than beasts. The ninjas are able to resist their instincts. They must either find a cure for their curse, or find there own place in world that fears and hates them.

Here's some ideas on the animal they could become,
Naruto: fox (was there any doubt)
Sakura: cat
Sasuke: raven, wolf
Kakashi: dog
Rock Lee and Gai: tiger
Neji: eagle/hawk
Shikamaru: deer
Chouji: boar
Kiba: dog
Shino: beetle
Konohamaru: monkey
Gaara: whatever one-tail is
