The link above is where Tobi states that he is not sweating and that it is rain. Second afterwards he is questioning himself these are all characteristics of being nervous, but it is indeed left up to interpretation. BUT bottom line is he was not sweating but he thought he was, when your mind plays tricks on you with bodily functions it means your nervous/distracted. Either way we won't know if he was nervous or not unless Kishi says so. BUT we do KNOW that he was not sweating.
Lol, yes it can be interpreted in many different ways but, Tobi seems pretty confident now.

After Naruto learned the names of the tailed beasts he actually scoffed at Tobi, and Tobi seemed somewhat nervous. Everyone predicted he was going to somehow use the names to become omg op....Some said he just got his chakra replenished. But it almost seemed as though Naruto felt as he had some upper hand on Tobi...However, none of that happened, anyone else wondering what the whole point of that was if hes not going to get some kind of power to help him find Tobi immediately? Another Kishi troll, or something to be revealed 6 months from now?

Edited in there forgot to put this in....
If Naruto did have the power Kurama would have known about it as well. Instead Kurama looked like he was about to piss his pants when ten tails was being completed, so to me at least it seems we may not see Naruto get all op just yet. I do not believe Kurama would have been nervous at all if they had some op power they were holding back on.

Here is the reason why Tobi is nervous. It represents something that he doesn't know and he believes he knows what Naruto is capable of. Check the Dark Naruto storyline. Dark Naruto thought he knew everything about Naruto as well and was just as distraught when Naruto questioned his knowledge when DN didn't know what he was thinking.

If you believe Narutoverse is in a time-loop paradox, as I do. He knows this means that he didn't win. If he had won he would have known their names.

This is also Kishimoto's homage to the novel Mushashi. In the climax battle between Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Mushashi, Kojiro throws aside his scabbard signifying his commitment to duel to the death. Mushashi simply smiles and says "I won". Kojiro is mentally flustered and yells at Mushashi asking what he means by that. Mushashi replies "You've cast your scabbard away because you know you won't need it ever again". Of course Mushashi's prediction proves to be true. So Tobi is having a Kojiro moment.

No, Tobi was nervous, only way to interpret it. It was clearly shown. Like he had a strong feeling Naruto could beat him and that there was something special about Naruto that he couldn't understand.

Maybe Naruto will absorb some of the power of juubi because he has a bond with the bijuu chakra and use it to empower himself?
