This is a really wild guess, but the more I think about it, the more it seems to be a legitimate possibility.
If Rin were the Sanbi's Jinchuriki, then a lot of the cliffhangers facing us would be answered, as well as Yagura and the Sanbi's murky past. First of all, I'm going to quote this post by teeol:
That was what really got me started on this. At first I was skeptical, but after thinking about it, I began to buy in enough to come up with this theory.
Okay, so pointing out what I get from reading between the lines. The Mist nins were after Rin, and when Kakashi killed her, the Mist nins were unhappy (meaning they wanted her alive). Kakashi seemed to do so of his own will, but judging from all the damage done to the battlefield and to his own body, he only resorted to killing her after it was proven impossible to defeat all those Mist nins.
If the Mist nins were after the Sanbi, then it would explain why Kakashi chose to kill Rin. It's something worthwhile enough to kill Rin over, and even so, Kakashi fainted after killing Rin from what seemed to be shock and mental fatigue (he was already on the brink from clear physical damage).
Then, when Obito arrived after Kakashi fainted and killed all the Mist nins, it's not hard to imagine him not wanting to leave Rin's body behind with Kakashi. If he takes her body back with him to Madara, then that could be how the Sanbi falls into their hands.
Now, if we were to connect this to Yagura, it would explain more about Yagura's past. We know that at some point, he fell underneath the influence of Tobi's Sharingan. I say Tobi because it could have been Obito, or it could have been Madara prior to meeting Obito. If Yagura was still in control of himself when the Mist sent the nins after Rin and the Sanbi, then Obito could have been the one who defeated him, took him over, and sealed the Sanbi into him (with Madara's help here and there, particularly in the taking him over and sealing parts). I'll add that I'm still skeptical of Obito's actual ability at this point, since I believe that him killing all of those Mist nins was some kind of rage mixed in with Zetsu's powers. But, it's not outside the realm of believability, since we don't even know how strong Yagura was back then without the Sanbi.
What may be a little more far-fetched but what I believe more is that Yagura was already under Madara's control through some meeting in the past. Whether or not Yagura was Kage when Madara took him over, or even when this event with Rin happened, is irrelevant - we could just say that Madara's interest in Yagura was for his potential in becoming a Kage or that he was some high-ranking official in the Mist. Either way, with Madara controlling Yagura, he could've chosen to seal the Sanbi into him. If Yagura already held some level of power in the Mist, then it would make even more sense because it would allow Madara to puppet him into sending Mist nins after Rin and the Sanbi, setting this whole thing up. It would set everything in place for Madara - he would acquire the Sanbi, and he would also lure Obito there and get him to shift over to the dark side after seeing Rin die at Kakashi's hand (and I can't help but compare this to how Anakin Skywalker turned into Darth Vader).
Anyway, now I'm burnt out and done. This was a really wild theory, but I can't help but find myself believing it at least a little after all the effort I put into this. What do you guys think? Do you guys agree, even a little?
