[Theory] The One Tail

[bhejarfrymmk]

Has anyone noticed that since the masked man who calls himself madara has taken the control of all the bijuus that were harvested by the akatsuki, viz 1,2,3,4,5,6&7 tails.. we've seen all of them in action .. except the one tail.. which was previously in gaara before deidara got the better of him..

and in the last episode.. 570.. when the masked man unleashed 5 tailed beasts.. he left out the 4 tails (Son Goku) .. could it be possible that the masked man can only control the tailed beasts if he has control over their respective edo tensei jinchurikis? .. even so.. the 3tails(sanbi - big turtle) was captured without an active jinchuriki.. but the masked man seems to be doing fine with him .. so why haavnt we seen the one tail in action yet?

It may be because he can control only 6 paths.. and he kept the strongest 6. I am guessing 1 tail to be the weakest and 9 tail to be the strongest. Or may be He is using the one tail to power himself up thorugh the gedo meza.

[Mr.Beastie]

well they are edos so its not like he is suppliying th power to them. He only has to control them.... Besides the one tail doesnt have an original host so maybe kishi didnt feel like introducing a new character.

yeah xd

yeah xd

yeah!

 

[Gobi]

yeah!

Ohh yeah!

 

[Iceblade805]

isn't he using the former jinchuriki(4th mizukage) of the 3tails to control him.

"This" Is totally wrong.

It has nothing to do with the 6-paths or anything like that.

It is simply because he doesn't have control over the Jinchuuriki anymore. So the Biju's run free without them.
You need to Jin's body to hold the relevent Biju, not just any body will suffice. Gaara's body is currently fighting Madara, AKA busy, AKA STILL ALIVE.
Because Naruto freed the Biju from the host, Tobi could no longer control it's will but still had a bind and re-absorbed it's chakra.

 

[Kyoukasuigetsu]

I think he cant control th beasts without their jinchurikis.......

 

[Lordgeorge16]

Tobi could've sealed the Shukaku inside of himself and is just waiting to use it.

Intruiging theory but if he could take the Biju's power, why stop at 1?

Also, anyone no matter how strong needs a lot of time & practice to mature with the Biju and become a perfect or even capable Jinchuuriki.

I think you can only seal one Biju in a single person, that's why he first needs to collect'em all and resurrect the Juubi so he can seal all of them inside him.

At this point it's not like he needs the One Tail anyway

Where did this come from?
I've never read such a thing in the manga.

Care to elaborate and possibly provide manga pages?

I don't think that's true. Bijuu can be sealed into any body, it doesn't need to be anybody special. Here are reasons why I think Tobi is using these 6 bodies and not the 1-tails:

1) The "6 paths" technique can be used by up to 6 bodies. This makes sense when you figure the rinnegan give the user 6 fundamental abilities that can be separated out, plus the "master" body who controls the outer path abilities.
2) There are, conveniently enough, 6 former jinchuuriki among Kabuto's collection of Edo Zombies
3) Since jinchuuriki have special abilities related to their bijuu and may still have knowledge about how to use those powers, it seems natural that joining the bijuu to it's original host would be a good idea. Putting the 1-tails into some other random body might work, but wouldn't be as strong or as usable without training.
4) The 1-tails does indeed have the least amount of chakra of all the Bijuu, so if you only need 6, that's the one you leave behind.
5) The chakra of the 1-tails could easily be used for something else in Tobi's war effort (growing more zetsu clones, powering up the Gedo Mazo statue, powering up Tobi himself, etc).

The Jinchuuriki/Bijuu are being controlled in three ways:

1) Kabuto is, at least in a vague sense, controlling the edo bodies of the jinchuuriki. If the beasts are sealed in those bodies, kabuto would have at least some control over them (just like the Kin/Gin brothers and their tailed beast chakra)
2) Their chakra is trapped in the Gedo Mazo statue. Even if they break out of the jinchuuriki they are not free
3) The Edo Jinchuuriki bodies are being controlled directly by the 6-paths techniques, with Tobi's sealing chains and the chakra receivers.

It's not a matter of the Bijuu being able to just run around free, they are trapped in several ways and even when the chakra receiver is ripped out they still aren't free, etc.

Or maybe it's a sign that Tobi is getting weak, because he's not able to maintain control over the Tailed beasts like he did before.

hmmm good point , and sanbi issue , yagura his path was the previous yanbi jin

 

[niblack89]

First Tobi dies nit have the 1 tails inside him. That would be dumb. I say that because he'd have yo extract it from his body. killing himself or severly injuring himself because of extraction.

There is really no need for the 1 tails because it is the weakest and its jinchurriki host still lives. The reason why Tobi reinserted the beast in there former host was because they all were compatible with the beast chakra. As Chiyo said creating new host takes time. There host has to get use to the chakra. That's why jinchurriki are made when they are young.

Also it could be he can only use up to 6 bodies that's why its called the 6 paths of pain. The user makes the 7th path.

 

[DemonToad]

I don't think that the jin corpses are edo, just dead bodies like nagato used. Tobi probably saved their bodies just for this after extracting their beasts. I haven't seen any of them speak for themselves, or show any personality at all like the edo's do.
