Tobi was possibly at VOTE.

Tobi said this in front of the only two people (at the time) that knew that he isn't really Madara. So he'd have no reason to lie and still pretend to be Madara. And note how he says that he stole cells from Hashirama during "that infamous battle." It almost seems like he was a bystander or something. But if Tobi really was at VOTE, as he has no reason to lie to Kabuto and Zetsu, then he can't be Obito. This can also explain how Hashirama didn't notice that Madara was still alive. Maybe Tobi did something similar to Madara like what Haku did to Zabuza, secretly snagged some of Hashirama's DNA, and then left to retrieve the seemingly dead Madara later.


What do you guys think? Is this just something that Kishi didn't completely plan out, or is there a hidden meaning to this statement that we weren't supposed to figure out until Tobi was revealed to really not be Madara?​

Seems as though he's still atempting to portray himself as Madara, or maybe just someone who knew Madara and helped him obtain Hashi's cells:shrug: We can only guess at this point

I don't see why he'd portray himself as Madara in front of the only two people that knew that he wasn't Madara, so you're second bet is probably right.

I don't know but I still believe Tobi is Madara . LOL xd

i think he is a fusion of three ppl....zetsu's parts are on his body...he has obitos eye...and i think one more uchiha and you have tobi

but if tobi outrightly says uchiha madara stole it instead of saying i stole it, it would ruin madara's epic entry in the manga

That's true. So we can only hope that Kishi was subtly hinting something that we were meant to go back and look at after Edo Madara's reveal.

OR, Kishi didn't plan it out that well.
