So, as we all know Tobi has claimed that he was the one who gave Nagato his Rinnegan:

The Rinnegan, being the most powerful of the three dojutsu, heavily decreases the user's chakra during use.

After Madara gained the Rinnegan shortly after his battle with Hashirama, I believe he needed someone to use his rinnegan and perform Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive him. So he and Tobi searched for a temporary host for his Rinnegan.

But why was Nagato chosen?

This person must have high chakra because the rinnegan uses up so much of it. Nagato was an Uzumaki who were famed for their incredible longevity and vitality seemingly inherited from their Senju ancestry. This would probably rule out Tobi. (even though we saw him with Uzumaki chains, he may've only aquired this power recently).

Nagato was not affiliated with Konoha, meaning he was part of the 'smaller, wartorn countries' that always suffered at the expense of bigger ones, like Konoha. This would allow him to grow his hatred for the rest of the shinobi world.

Nagato would've been easily persuaded and I would even bet that Madara or Tobi had something to do with those Konoha ninja's killing Nagato's parents. This psychologically damaged him and I'll go even further to suggest that Tobi was the one who made hanzou demand Yahiko's death, screwing up Nagato even more:

Lets face it Nagato was a very timid boy before all this happened, which eventually turned him into a cold hearted killer:

'Nagato was a sensitive, kind boy, prone to crying, and was traumatised by the idea of killing others, even if it was to save his friend Yahiko. Scared and unsure of his place in the world, he desired to help those he cared about, but never knew how.'

However, Nagato betrayed Tobi by using Rinne Tensei on Konoha, when they were supposed to be used for his purposes (namely, fully reviving Madara and completing Moons eye plan).

Anyway, these are just my ideas. Thoughts anyone?:shrug:

Yes, there are many theories to this one of them being:

- Tobi could be Madara's creation.
- Tobi could be Madara's brother Izuna
- Tobi could be Madara's clone

But yes, its generally accepted that they know eachother.

i know that for the uzumaki has more chakra and a longer life than normal and i know doujutsu take a lot of chakra to use. and to use an ability that strong from the strongest eye the rinnegan takes a coniderable amount of chakra. that's the reason that i think that nagato was chosen for the rinnegan and to revive madara.

Firstly, Madara died sometime during the second great shinobi war; Nagato was a young child during this time.
Secondly, Rinne tensei and edo tensi are two seperate techniques. Edo tensei the user gains control over the person revived. Rinne tensei the person its literally brought back to life. Nagato could only revive people from Konoha at the time because he was too low on chakra after his battle with Naruto, he even stated this in the Manga.

I agree with what you've said. The Uzumaki are famous for their seals and large chakra reserves. I believe that Madara was diying and so gave his Rineggan to Tobi (his companion) in order to use it to bring him back. Since Madara knew about Nagato, it means that he chose Nagato to be the wielder of his eyes. Nagato's betrayal led to Tobi taking things into his own hands, especially since he knew that Kabuto revived Madara and could use him against Tobi at any time. Now, this part is just my speculation. What if they chose Nagato because he was Kushina's brother? Of course, there are no links or indications that Kushina had one, but what if he was chosen because he too, like Kushina, had an exeptionally strong chakra? If this were the case, it would make for a great twist in the story. We already know that Naruto and Nagato are relatives (quite possibly distant cousins). So what if Nagato was his uncle. That would make Naruto's fate all the more similar to Gaara's (they've always been compared in the manga, as having very similar past stories) since both of them have a past where their uncles tried to kill them. What do you guys think?

Hmmm, very interesting, it certainly fits in with the timeline.

I will go and read it again :)but if thats so then kishi has a lot to explain Becoz jiraya was not even born yet when madara died & jiraya was the one who trained Nagato so it's impossible
