Question About Hand Seals

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

Um...I was just being nerdy about Akatsuki today, as I do, and I noticed this;




What is this hand seal Sir Leader is doing here? I am writing about his displayed jutsu (this seal is connected either to the 幻龍九封尽 9 dragons seal, or with the projection jutsu, though they don't appear to be doing this back when they all meet in the cave). Because it isn't any of these;



(It's most similar 'rat' but not quite)

Here are Itachi and Kisame doing the same one. In fact, all the Akatsuki are doing this during the extraction ritaul.



None of the guides to hand seals I can find show it, just the twelve in the Fanbook scan. Are there more than those twelve seals (clearly there are, because Sir Leader is doing one...) and is there a guide out there beyond the twelve where I can get the wider opinion on it? (ie; Are there more displayed hand seals that don't fit with this group) Or am I just going mad? ^^
