My theory is that Tobi is Madara's brother Izuna and that the two brothers orchestrated a series of events that will eventually let them rule the world together using the Moon's Eye Plan. Therefore from now on I consider Tobi to be Izuna in the following text.

To start things of, this we know:
- Tobi is not Madara

- However, Tobi is strong enough to be mistaken for Madara, and strong enough to even control the kyuubi

- Madara knows about Nagato, which means that he survived against the 1st Hokage, and has found some way to live longer than the normal human lifespan permits (just like Tobi).

- Tobi is angered when Nagato uses his resurrection jutsu on Konoha's fallen, instead of using it for his purposes (which Tobi had intended).

- When "Edo Madara" blast his way out of his coffin the first thing he comments on is that Nagato has grown. Not that he is resurrected. It's not until that the 2nd Tsuchikage tells him that it was Edo Tensei that resurrected him that he starts to get surprised.

Nothing ever states that you can't swap eyes between two brothers. The only source for this information is from Itachi who probably got the information from legends/Tobi. Tobi's story could be fabricated and his words should in no way be considered true by default.

From the same story we learn that Izuna died shortly after the swap. Why? Why die, when he could've just taken Madara's eyes in return and gained Eternal Mangekyu sharingan aswell? This makes no sense and therefore we can deduct that Tobi lied. He could have done this to fake his own death and/or to discourage other Uchiha from gaining this power.

This means that the two brothers both posses EMS, and have formulated a plan that involves Izuna/Tobi to stay in the shadows, with Madara as the front figure.

The next major event in the brothers lives, is the battle between Madara and the 1st Hokage. History says that Madara died, but Tobi states otherwise. He claims that he (Madara) survived the battle. This could easily be a lie to cover the fact that he obviously isn't Madara.

He survives long enough to meet Nagato, years and years after he SHOULD have died of old age. As Tobi said to Konan, it was he that gave Nagato the Rinnegan.

I think they did this together so they could utilize the resurrection-jutsu that comes with it. For this, they would have to find a live Uzumaki, which proved to be difficult since the entire clan had been all but wiped out in the war. But they did! The only problem was that during the time between giving him the eyes, and Madara dying, Nagato was to weak to use the jutsu.

This is supported by the latest chapter (559) , when Madara comes back to "life". The first thing he says is "So it finally happened, It looks like Nagato has managed to grow".

This means that this was all according to plan. This means that Madara knew all along that IF either brother were to die, he would be resurrected by Nagato, who had been nurtured by the surviving brother - as a fail-safe if you will.

This is further supported by Tobi displaying anger towards Nagato for using the ress-jutsu on the people of Konoha, when "it was supposed to be for me"

Not Tobi personally, but for his purposes.
It is also supported by Madara who is just surprised that it was the Edo Tensei that resurrected him, and not Nagato.

All this would mean that Tobi/Izuna, together with his brother, strive to do something, probably rule the world - TOGETHER. This plan was thwarted temporarily by Nagato dying, and thwarted even more by Kabuto claiming and using, what most probably is Madara's body and soul, to blackmail Tobi.

The one thing that I can't explain with this theory, is Tobi's tendency to look like a ****ing white zetsu all the time.

I don't believe gaining a blind pair of sharingan will allow you to awaken EMS.

If it's Izuna, why is he made up of what looks like zetsu plasma?

This confirms nothing.
Dead come to live again in Naruto, Itachi is walking out there.
And Gaara as well ; )

To OP, the Zetsu stuff is because he also has Hashirama's DNA to prolong his life

OMFG Dave listen to Sasuke2.

Outer path Rinne Tennsei brings people back to life and you know this.

Furthermore on that same panel it says, "What? Madara was able to be brought back to life via Edo Tensei..."

Confirmed died maybe not confirmed dead. ffs.

I think that when Madara was alive he brought back the demon statue killing him and Izuna took his lifes.

NO. What did Madara unlock right before he died? Rinnegan. What can the Rinnegan do? Rinne Tensei BRING PEOPLE BACK TO LIFE. The one time it has been used it killed the user (albeit quite possibly not a trait of the technique it is possible this killed Madara).

Please pay attention.

Izuna DIED but is not DEAD

Understand?

Just like Kakashi died but is not dead. Rinne Tensei.

Madara knows who tobi is, he says this must be his doing and kabuto tells madara that he is his assistant. Now if izuna is tobi then after saying all this why would madara mention his brother died and left his eyes to him.

WHy??? Maybe because his brother is on his mind since they just talked about him/Tobi.

Also think about it guys he says When my brother died all he left was his eyes and hatred. He is thinking about the hatred he left, the same hatred he is about to stab Tsunade with. AT THAT TIME he left his eyes and died that was before he was brought back. Tobi is a pretty hateful dude if you haven't noticed. How does this not make sense?

He isn't discussing Tobi in that little caption he is discussion hatred and brings up his brother. He doesn't say Izuna is not Tobi because Izuna is dead.

Having said that i hope tobi is izuna, makes sense why he has normal sharingan and not MS since madar took it and why he took madaras identity. He also grips his fist tightly when he tells they story to sasuke about how izuna gave his eyes to madara for no reason when the senjus and uchihas signed a peace treaty so izunas sacrifice was for no reason. So far imo everything tips in the favour of izuna being tobi.

Itachi's eyes were practically blind. Point?
