Wow during this Naruto delay I read all of Full Metal Alchemist. Great manga to say the least, and the bonus is that it is completed
. Man was really hoping for an early weekend release......now just hoping for midday tomorrow.
My guess is that 'Tobi' is Izuna Uchiha. The only proof we have of his death is the word of 'Madara'. To fake one's death its obviously necessary to propagate such a rumor. My theory is that Zetsu witnessed the battle at the VoTE and retrieved the eyes, while enjoying a snack, for Izuna. Unforeseen problems arose with the EMS 're-transplant' leaving Izuna at diminished capacity. He poses as Madara for obvioius shock-effect advantage. I agree that Kabuto knows what we all want to know. And that is the truth behind the mask of Tobi. He keeps dropping hints.responce to The 6th hokage
nobody has solid proof of madara bein obito just peoples theory, but obito is missin the same eye (left one) that madara keeps replacing and they got same hair plus same teleport type jutsu as kakashi who got obitos other eye
QUOTE:
Kabuto: " i see your calling yourself Madara now days" (kabuto talkin to tobi as if he is not madara)
still all guess no real proof

Izuna was left with diminished sharingan and was on a quest of vengence and an upgrade. He used Zetsu to be on the lookout for any and all Sharingan of fallen Ninja. He found Obito's eye intact, attached to his crushed body and took it from his dead corpse. Again a snack. Zetsu is impermanent to solids--easy for him. Obito died and is not Evil.
'Izuna-Tobi' made a deal with Danzo. I believe Orochimaru, obsessed with forbidden techniques, was involved with and an agent of Danzo, employed as his 'Dr. Frankenstein'. The deal made to 'harvest' the Uchiha sharingan as weapons... The ultimate Forbidden Uchiha tech--Izanagi. A Tech that closes the eye permanently. Requiring a large supply of disposable Sharingan. The 2 split the booty, entered into a mutual non-aggression pact and rendered a potential threat into non-existence. I believe Orochimaru joined Akatsuki with the orders from Danzo to retrieve Itachi's sharingan. Later, Oro went rogue and desired the Sharingan for himself, pursuing Sasuke.
Izuna, being the equal of Madara and one of the 2 firsts to awaken MS, knows the Secrets of the Sharingan and the history as well as Madara. He took it upon himself to surpass his brother once and for all. To go one step further than Izanagi. To become the 'equal' of the So6P. Insane, but logical.

I like your theory...But what if tobi ios really fugaku and itachi used the sharnigan to cast a genjutsu over sasuke to make him beleive he killed fugaku...far fetch... but it maybe possible.My guess is that 'Tobi' is Izuna Uchiha.

Thanks all.
I agree with some of the stuff you said. I also think there is a good chance that Izuna is Tobi. Madara did die, and Izuna has taken up a quest for vengeance against everyone and everything. It's quite possible, although not as likely as my other guess.
My other guess is that Tobi is infact Madara, as he has claimed to be multiple times, and as many people have labeled him over and over. If you want some of that proof, search for my posts and find the ones about Madara = Tobi. I referenced quite a few chapters.
I think that Kabuto is threatening to release the edo-tensei'd Izuna. If Izuna was Madara's equal in every way, as explained by Itachi, then he would be quite a match for Madara. Also, it would be the only person who Madara might feel an emotional connection. Who the hell would want to fight their undead brother, that they hadn't seen in who knows how long? This would fit in perfectly with what we have seen Kabuto pulling against the Konoha people, bringing back teachers, and long lost loves, and fathers to torment them mentally. It would also explain why Madara is so insistent on knowing how to stop edo tensei. He doesn't want to have to fight Izuna, and I don't blame him. Izuna edo, would come back with the MS and that would suck to deal with, even for Madara.
But that's my guess.
Can't wait for the next chapter!
I'm on team Kakashi-senpai!
Btw, does anyone have a chapter reference for when Madara says that Izuna fought blind and died? I am not familiar with that...can't remember it.
Thanks all.
Its just a theory. It is just as possible Madara is Tobi or pulls the strings of Tobi in some way.
It could very well be Izuna in that coffin in chapter 490 which forms the basis for Kabuto-Maru to force his will upon Tobi into accepting a partnership. After the shock by which Tobi reacts, calling Kabuto a madman, Kabuto replies 'You can relax (i.e. Don't worry), I haven't told a soul (anyone)'
This strongly implies damming evidence which Kabuto could reveal at any time which contradicts Tobi's claim of being Uchiha Madara. NOT so much a powerful adversary that has Madara shaking in his boots.
And, while I agree that is Kabuto's style to inflict emotional damage where possible, It doesn't account for the line 'You can relax..I didn't tell' to paraphrase the line. The line implies the revelation is more dangerous than the confrontation.
Plus, Kabuto's reluctance to call Tobi by the name of Madara.
Then there is chapter 520, where Kabuto tells himself to calm down ... but he'd be in trouble if he has to fight 'the Rinnegan' here. Not Madara..
Not to mention chapter 521 where Kabuto, when speaking of Edo Tensei, says 'The technique is so powerful, so incredible...That tales of its wielder inevitably spread across the entire world. I could become more infamous than, say.....Uchiha Madara...'
Tobi responds to this jibe with anger 'I though I told you not to push your luck with me!'
Notice Kabuto didn't say more infamous than 'you'?
This all leads me to believe that, in a very significant way, Tobi is not Uchiha Madara. He might be acting on his behalf, through some unbeknown connection. Or directed by him, or contains a part of him...
To the reference which states Izuna is dead. The chapters relevant are 386 (Itachi explains to Sasuke) and 399 (Tobi-'Madara' explains the past to Sasuke). 399 p. 5 we see Izuna in a coffin. But is this in the mental imagery of Sasuke, hearing the story and assuming? Or in the imagery of Tobi...wanting all to believe Izuna had died in his 'sacrifice' for his clan.
On page 4, chap 399, we see Tobi clutching his arm while he lies to Sasuke that Izuna 'accepted his role...and willingly gave his eyes to me'. This either implies that as Izuna himself, he remembers all to well the truth behind his lies and it still hurts. Or....?
It is VERY possible Tobi is Madara. But only in some reduced way. Like Itachi said, ' a shell of his former self'. It could be his body is a fabrication produced by white Zetsu and only the one EMS eye contains his 'soul' and transmits his will to the clone-white Zetsu 'brain' and 'body'. His left EMS being burned out long ago by use of Izanagi..possibly to 'resurrect' himself via Illusion into reality of Izanagi. His half lost EMS still allows him 'Eternal' eye-life, but at a reduced capacity. One in need of a supply of good genuine Uchiha-brand parts.
There's no way Kakashi is going to die. If you recall, he was just brought back to life after the whole Pain fight. He was technically voted into being Hokage, he's to strong to die this early in the war.I have a bad feeling that Kakashi might die here...
what i don't know what your writen but is any of that even in the manga i never read or wacthed anything about the water fall village and the stone tablet comeing from the water fall village none of that is possible and i think the so6p body would be completly decaded so would his eyes and where does it say he had to seal his soul give me the link where it says this and gedo staue is just for the sealing isn't it and if he had to seal his soul he'd be dead remember when the thrid hokage was trying to oro soul if you take out some ones soul they die but still ok theroy and i'm not argueing just a little citasiumTobi is Madara.
Kabuto's sixth coffin is that of Madara.
Tobi is still Madara.
Kabuto did NOT summon Madara's body.
Kabuto summoned Madara's SOUL
Madara lost his soul. Madara is an animated living corpse.
Madara is not a zombie as he can still think. He is alive...but soulless
I literally mean Madara has no soul. He lost his soul long ago.
The Sage of The Six Paths sealed the 10 tailed beast in the moon
The Gedo Statue is controlled by the Rinnengan.
The Gedo Statue IS the the body of the 10 tailed beast
Madara summoned the Gedo Statue...from the moon.
In order to do this, Madara had to seal his own soul away
The soul was sealed away in the Hidden Waterfall Village
The Hidden Waterfall Village is where the Sage of the Six Paths died
Madara's fight with Onoki is what led him to find out about all this
Onoki was trying to take over the Hidden Waterfall
Onoki heard rumors of a great power there
Onoki gave up when Madara defeated him.
The Hidden Waterfall thought Madara their hero
They gave Madara the stone tablet of the Sage of the Six Paths
The Hidden Waterfall couldn't read them and didn't know what they were giving Madara.
Madara could read them. This is how Madara learned of the Ten Tails
Somehow the stone tablet ended up in the Nakano Shrine
Madara stole the Sage of the Six Path's Rinnengan
He implanted it into Nagato when he was a baby
Madara did this so Nagato could recover Madara's soul
Kabuto figured out the seal. Now he has Madara's soul
Madara can't fight against his own soul
Tobi is still Madara
