All the facts about obito/tobi. You decide.

So, this is the final time I will post a thread about the Obito/Tobi Theory.

I have decided to compile as much information I can into proving the Theory. This will include all of the old proofs for the theory. I am also going to include some of my opinion around the end, but I will separate them from the facts so I won't have facts and opinions mixing. I may have some statements with the facts though, so I'm sorry for that. I am not going to include the links to the pages and chapters of the information disproving the theory, but I will include the general information. If somebody decides to go and find them for themselves then by all means. Here we go:

PROVING TOBI IS OBITO:

1) We never fully see Obito Uchiha die. Yes, rocks fall on him, he loses his left eye and he is coughing out blood. This is the hardest thing to get by considering roughly 50% of the NarutoBase population considers him dead. But, people have been brought back to life, people have come back from psychological break downs (i.e. Kakashi and Sasuke from Tsukoyomi) Is it so hard to believe that someone survived a rockfall?
PAGE:

2) Tobi is around the right age that Obito would be at this time of the manga. (Yes, I address the fact that he is roughly the same age as his fight with the Fourth Hokage. I just do it in the Disproving Tobi section) Tobi being Izuna would not make sense because this would put Izuna at a very old age. Yes, he could have used a body enhancement or body swap jutsu, but Orochimaru is the only known ninja that can do this at this time.

3) Tobi has Obito's sharing an. This is a big one. I am going to name off some things that most people might not have realized about this development in the story. The fact that Kakashi's reaction to finding out Tobi had Obito's sharingan changed him. I have a couple of questions: First, why doesn't Tobi's sharingan change when he into its Mangekyo Sharingan form when he uses the same space/time jutsu that Kakashi uses? If you said that it's because it's implanted then your wrong because clearly Kakashi's does. I don't know the answer either but I know that implantation is not the reason.
PAGE:

4) Kakashi and his team, when they were younger, had the mission to destroy the KANNABI BRIDGE. On that day, which Obito didn't get to make it too, Kakashi became known as "The Hero with The Sharingan". Tobi stated that he got his sharingan at the fight of the KANNABI BRIDGE. This means that he knows Kakashi in some way, shape, or form. I don't know how to continue with my theory on this point with facts alone, the rest is speculation.
PAGE:

5) Many people forget what Tobi USED to be like. Before his fight with Sasuke with Deidara at his side. Tobi was a different person then, full of joy, laughter, jokes, and many other things. After Deidara's "masterpiece", the next time we see Tobi he is proclaiming that he is Madara Uchiha. He went from laughing and joking "fresh" member of the Akatsuki to the Mastermind, Leader and strongest Uchiha in existence in a matter of days. (Was it days? I'm not quite sure on that one.) How Tobi used to be matched up with what we saw of Obito. (Don't forget, we only know him through 6 chapters. Besides that, the rest of him is a mystery.)

DISPROVING TOBI IS OBITO:

1) It is believed that Obito is dead by the NarutoBase and by the Naruto Universe Characters.
2) When Tobi and the Fourth Hokage fight, Tobi is roughly the same age as in the present and has great skills. Obito would just have been a teenager.
3) Tobi's Sharingan (Obito's Sharingan technically) does not morph into a Mangekyo Sharingan when he uses the skills of that level. ( This fact goes both ways since we do not know the answer)

STATEMENTS:

1) Why would Kishimoto show us Kakashi's backstory and introduce us to two characters that were unknown before, and never to be seen again, if there wasn't a reason? We learned of Obito, literally around 4 months before we were introduced to Tobi.

2) When was the last time something in Naruto happened that NOBODY predicted? Or when it was obvious and it happened anyways? I'll answer it: A LOT.
a) Itachi being good rather than evil. The evidence supported it and yet people were ridiculed for defending it until people discovered the truth.
b) Back in the beginning, Long ago, many people thought that Sasuke would not leave the village and become bad. Now look what happened.
c) Granny Tsunade coming back from the coma.
d) Naruto NOT killing Pain.
e) Izanami existing somewhere in the universe.
Get the picture?

3) The best place to hide something is in the open. The answer is so obvious that we are forced not to accept it and instead try to read between the lines. Instead of making things more complicated than they already are, why not just try and believe the obvious? It's proved true before. (Granted, it has also proved false.)

4) Honestly, who else could it be? Yes. Izuna and Obito are the only plausible options here guys. And Izuna being Tobi is much more far-fetched than Obito being Tobi. (Saying anything else is being in denial. Im not saying don't believe that Izuna is Tobi, but that it is much more of a long shot for Izuna than Obito.) I don't believe that Tobi will be revealed to be anyone else than someone we know. And to be honest, a Zetsu clone is probably the most probable answer ( Come on guys lets face it)

FINAL WORDS/ MY OPINION:

My theory on this is that Obito is Tobi. But not entirely. Obito was found and trained by Madara Uchiha. He undertook the name Tobi to conceal his identity and wore the mask ( rather for disfigurement for to hide his identity). Madara wore a mask as well. Madara was the person that attacked the Fourth Hokage. When Madara later died, Tobi/Obito undertook his name to continue to spread fear and domination. Since he trained under Madara, he could mimic many of his jutsu but was still no match for Madara.

That is my theory mixed with many facts. This is my personal theory and it has developed over time. Some people will criticize me and some people will agree with me. But the one thing we can all agree on is: The true identity of Tobi is yet to be revealed. My opinion is no better or worse than yours. I'd like to hear your opinion if you can share it without being derogatory. Thanks for reading :) Let the discussion begin.

(P.S. I'm sure that I left out many facts for both sides. If you have a fact, please tell and I will make an Edit and add it in here. Thank You!)

Re: All the facts about obito/tobi. You decide.

Upon reading this Masterpiece of a thread post:

Detailing all of the events and timeline of the Naruto Universe, I honestly do not know how to prove that anyone is Tobi without throwing in some major backstory and details that we do not yet know.

I'll tell you who he isn't from that list!

Tobi is notttttt

- The Juubi
- The Sage
- Kagami
- Obito
- Fugaku
- Shisui
- Zetsu
- Tobirama
- The First Edo
or
- Obito's Father

I can pretty much argue all of these NOT being Tobi. I HAVE argued some of them, extensively. The rest all have a possibility.

Re: All the facts about obito/tobi. You decide.

Even after I read your post,I strongly believe Tobi is not Obito. Because :
1)Naruto has a popular miracle that full of surprises named Kishi.
2)Why the heck does Obito want to do the Eye Moon plan? A hero like him has no reason to be a bad guy,so far.

I would rather to have Tobi as Madara or whoever Ten ten or Ramen guy, (lol that's joke right),just as long as he is not Obito.

But +rep for your efforts. You've done a lot to support your theory :) So now let's just wait until Tobi unmasked himself.

Re: All the facts about obito/tobi. You decide.

tobi is a mexican wrestler who met kishimoto some years ago. there he paid off kishimoto big money for the sharingan, after mastering space-time he then moved to The Ninja World, he then created akatsuki and has information from Kishimoto on every Living or Dead Shinobi. Waging war and never removing his mask. as too losing he mask signifies the end of his gimmick , he will still go to great lengths to conceal his true identities, losing the mask to an opponent is seen as the ultimate insult so screw your logic

Is there anywhere that says Obito is the only Uchiha with that eye? I'm just asking, because couldn't he have relatives or something. I know it's a just a manga.

I really don't think it's obito and here are my reasons.
1. We all saw the huge rock that landed on his rt side nobody is coming back from that.
2. During the talk btw tobi and kabuto something struck me. Kabuto said if he can get a DNA sample like shisui eye from danzo corps or jiraiya DNA from nagato weapon he can recreate them.
3. The Edo tensei zombie return in the state that he/she was b4 death e.g nagato.
4. I also don't think zombies can grow after death.
Here is my story. I believe madara had a partner somebody from another village or maybe his own legacy in whom he trusted to revive him by using his new power once activated and also after retrieving hashirama DNA. This person had another agenda & maybe after hearing about kakashi's success with the sharingan, revived obito to gain his Sharigan. I really doubt that the only ppl that can perform Edo tensei jutsu are the 2nd hokage, orochimaru and kabuto. During there conversation tobi asked for the risk and how to defeat Edo tensei, kabuto gave half truth, there was a seal shown probably the same jutsu madara use to free himself and if madara knows tobi knows.

Easy way to explain it's not Obito:
Kishi wants to surprise us with the reveal. If this is to be true, how can it possibly be Obito when, for the last 3 chapters or something, Kishi has given all these references to Obito?
If is Obito, it's just lame. I say we can safely rule out Obito just because it would be too obvious

maybe kishi wants u to think that? So it will be a better surpise by not surprising u.

plz~ Why should Kishi introduce us obito such in detail ? Why should he make Tobi so personal about Kakashi? Talking about big mouthing~ No other character fits in there right know, as for Eye, artifical body, an emotional bond to kakashi~
No one exept Obito...if people think he wants to surprise us, they are only to ignorant to see that Kishi ploted this till the very beginning...Tobis ID wont Change much about the plot no it would give some Characters more Live like Kakashi...as he told us he planed to do so.
Face it or do not face it, but at the end Kishi will show us. Obvious or not, if everyone expects it not to be obito, cuz of beeing obvious, he for sure will make it Obito. As if he cares, that some readers dont like Tobi for beeing Obito. He will make Tobi to anyone he likes to
Ramen Guy incoming~

If it's someone I hadn't even thought about, that's a real surprise. Obito would just be disappointing and surprising in a way that it's so bad I was surprised how low Kishi could go and to all those countless Obito believers, it wouldn't be a surprise right? He has given clues to who Tobi is by giving his age, motive, where he could have been in the timeline, and Obito doesn't fit. If it's Obito there's no way we could have guessed it and I mean this in a bad way.
He's already made up his mind who Tobi will be, he won't change anything based on reactions. Only thing he can do is give us false clues, like he's doing right now

tobi is the bitter father of obito. kakashi probably promised him that he'd bring his boy home safely, and then kakashi came home with a brand new sharingan but no obito.

this probably fueled obito's father's belief that the Uchiha were being played by the Senju controlled Konoha, so, in his bitterness, he went to kannabi and recovered obito's eye, transferring it to himself. Because it was the eye of his own son, he awakened EMS in that eye. He tried to foment a revolution when he returned to Konoha, sporting a new half mask protecting his son's eye, but the Uchiha turned their backs on him. So, Setsuna left, and came back with the Kurama in a pissy mood and a full mask that revealed only Obito's eye.

And now we know why Kurama said that Sasuke's eyes were just like "Madara"'s. Fake Madara's eyes are filled with the rage of an Uchiha whose family died and who blames Konoha for the loss.

Tobi is Setsuna.

Obito meeting Madara and becoming Tobi does not fit in the timeline. Madara gave his Rinnegan to Nagato, it was already stated that Madara died shortly afeter unlocking the Rinnegan, so he had to have died when Nagato was a child before Obito died.

too much clues for Tobi to be Obito and all those clues are out in the open, much in the same way it was done when Tobi was clued to be Madara. If all the recent indications are pointing to him being Obito, then the past indications (which were presented in a similar fashion and were of the same quality) of him being Madara could be equally true.... which would make Tobi the love child of Madara and Obito (sick -_- )

Point is: for me personally he is still most likely sth artificial, compatible with the sharingan and connected to Madara's original plan.
