I've been Passively reading this forum for quite some time now and I just wanted to post my thoughts on the matter.
Allright let's start.
1. The most Viable theory out there is the one that says Tobi is Obito, although I don't believe he is. My main argument for this is the timeline, it just doesn't fit. But, it is possible that Tobi is related to Obito somehow, now why do I think this:
Obito was an underclass Ninja, barely able to unlock his Sharingan, why would anybody want such a weak sharingan without special abilities? I don't think Obito's body was retrieved by Konoha, Obito's name is just on the Konoha Memorial stone. Now why would Tobi want that Sharingan? Why would he retrieve it?
I think it has to be Someone Obito knew, His father? His Brother? Someone who wanted Obito's body back out of emotional reason instead off power. This makes me lean more to the Tobi is Obito's father theory (maybe Kagami?). He retrieved the body of his son, implanted his sharingan in his own eyes and unlocked the S/T jutsu (this is also the reason why his sharingan is always active).
Tobi also is someone who obviously holds a grudge against Kakashi, the only one I can think off is Kagami (and I think Kakashi knows at this point).
2. Tobi has been shown as a Genjutsu master, the best in the Manga (exclude Madara from this for a moment). for example: He was able to mislead the fourth Mizukage (who was a Jinchuuriki and a kage, so he had to be an elite ninja). Now it's not easy to put a kage under a genjutsu, let alone a junchuuriki because the tailed beasts are able to change your flow of chakra and snap you out of it. Therefore he had to put both Yagura and the three tails under a genjutsu to control him. There's only one person who is able to do this, Madara. Therefore I'm pretty sure Tobi was Madara's student at some point and to stretch it even further, Tobi was Orochimaru's sensei at another point. There are only three people in the manga that know all the secrets about the sharingan, the SO6P and the ten-tails: Madara > Tobi > Orochimaru. It's quite possible they were all teacher/student at some point.
(Please leave Itachi out of this one, he has nothing to do with it)
3. This one is just a wild guess but I wanted to share this with you guys. Tobi and Kakashi are unique, they both have one Sharingan implanted from the same person, there is nobody else in the Manga who has the same connection. We know they are both connected through the same dimesion. Now what if Tobi is able to see through Kakashi's eye with that dimension, it would explain why Obito's eye was usefull in the first place. Kakashi would be the perfect spy, he wouldn't even realise it himself and he was close with the nine-tails. Everything tobi knows about Naruto and Konoha is information someone told Kakashi in the past. This is likely not correct because Kakashi wears that eyepatch all the time but just think about it.
4. everybody is speculating on who Tobi is but nobody realises that there are three main things we know nothing about and influenced the entire manga.
The first one is Tobirama: he created a jutsu that made the dead come back to live, he made it possible to bring the most powerfull ninja off all time back (Madara). We only have speculations about his death, it's never been confirmed he died when he was the decoy. I think people underestimate his contribution to the plot and forget about him to easily.
The second is Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan: this one's important. Kakashi had no relatives, had no friends (exclude Gai) so how did he managed to unlock this one. I think this is in pair with the Rin background story, but why haven't we seen Rin in part I, he unlocked his MS in the timeskip so if Rin wasn't death in part one, where was she? I'm really looking forward to this one.
Third: Zetsu. Nobody cares about Zetsu but in my opion he's just as important for this story as Tobi is. Who the hell is he? We know he's partially made out of Hashirama's cells but what was his origine? His purpose? This one has to be a huge background story, I always thought this would be revealed before Tobi's identity but okay it makes me wonder what will happen when he rejoins Madara. Actually, I think this one's related to Tobirama somehow. It's just a hunch.
Again, these are just my thoughts and probably some people already figured some of these things out. I'm just putting it together.
