Re: Tobi can't possible be Obito
All we know is what Kisame thinks he saw. The sharingan is boss at casting Genjutsu; it's completely possible Tobi simply fooled him like he fooled everyone else. Also, the only reason he held a candle to the 4th (who beat him anyway, btw) or ANYONE for that matter is because his Mangekyou ability is OP. He's basically invincible, and his jutsu is difficult to figure out (Kakashi really only got it because of his experience with his own jutsu). Kakashi and Gai were quite a bit older; and the 4th had become Hokage, got married, and had a kid in that time. It isn't ridiculous that Obito unlocked his MS in that time. Of COURSE there are puzzle pieces missing, but the real tragedy is if it turned out to be someone completely undeveloped. Just because people heard about some other Uchiha in a brief story in a few panels of the manga doesn't mean they are fleshed out enough to be the main villain. Obito and Kakashi's story is very well evolved.
