i think what itachi meant by saying madara is a proection of his formal self is that, when madara used the enternal mangyekou, it took his body into an alternate dimesion and all that is physical in this world are is eyes, that explains his imortality,also i think he has the ability to absorb and body he wants, so he probablyh absorbed tobi,danzo and the mizukage, that explains the eye thats always covered.
madara probably had his eyes distroyed in one of the battles he had been in and he cant bring back his true self without his other eye .
i notice he said somthing abt moon eye then next chapter danzo said somthing abt kabuto and oro.
yes that is true.. but i do not think that obito has anything to do with Tobi. It's seemingly, cosidering Tobi's behaviours and personality and clumsyness that he might be obsessed with Obito. Like shown here:

Tobi is showing Kisame that he (Uchiha Madara) has taken over the body of Mizukage from the hidden village of Rain. He was once the Mizukage of Kirigakure, although it is unknown when. The current Mizukage is now this bitch:

This is also proved in the previous page where he sais to Kisame "I'm sorry for decieving you for so long, especially since you were closest to him."

Therefore we know that Madara can obsess himself in other bodies of some sort It is most likely some sharingan/chakra wise way. Like he controlled the tailed beast with, or how Pein controlled his bodies, or how orochimaru is within Kabuto and how he was inside of Sasuke, planning to take over his body when he was at his limit.
The fact that danzou now apparently has the sharingan on the same eye that we know Tobi has the sharingan MIGHT also be because of Madara taking over Danzou aswell.. though that sounds very unlikely. i mean controlling two bodies at once.. sounds to me unlikely. More likely is the fact that danzou took the remaining sharingan from the corpse of Obito (cuz we know nothing of what happened to him after) concidering he has the right eye, and kakashi has the left, it matches.
What do u think? :hypertobi:
