What if Madara was controlling Obito the entire time?

Looking back on the series, we see Tobi was with Zetsu quite frequently. What if the black zetsu was relaying post-mortem orders from Madara and keeping tabs on him? Would you guys feel sorry for Obito if it turns out that Madara had used the chakra control rods to force him to attack the village and slaughter the Uchiha?

I highly doubt it. It's quite plausible however, that it was him who made Obito slaughter the Kiri ninja.

Yes I would feel sorry for him.

You could also say that Madara was manipulating Obito with hatred.

Off Topic: could Madara have done the same thing to Nagato as well since he also had those black rods in his body?

It would make sense. It explains why Obito did a complete 180 in such a short time.

It's likely. I think Madara rigged his eyes to implant the chakra rods. If we see when Obito rages, the chakra rods enter his body in chapter 605.... Madara planned the whole thing. He's pretty much the Aizen of Naruto.

I mean he basically could because Madara created the other half of Obito's body and he probably planned that to happen so he did it so he could control him.

Off-topic, I have some hand-drawn images of Madara if you are interested. Got rape face Madara and regular. Also one of young Madara...

I've pondered such a thought and after the release of the latest chapter, it is quite plausible. It would explain Obito's ideological change better. Would I feel sorry for him? I felt sorry for the Young Uchiha when Rin died and all that he had to comfort him was Madara. If we find out Madara was directly manipulating him, I sure as hell would feel bad for him. Isn't it possible that Nagato also was manipulated by Madara in a similar way? Seeing as these Chakra Rods came flying out of the Gedo Mazo and it's possible that Old Madara put them in there on purpose.

Yeah you can see the chakra rods pierce Obito in 605 if you look carefully.

Madara couldent he was dead. plus theres limitations to how hes controlling now if obito has enough willpower to break it it useless. everything obito did was mostly for himself not madara as he did not consider him a ally or try to revive him. but he was under the curse of hatred
