Calling it now: S06P true identity

[KingHashirama]

He'll be blonde. Will have a similar face structure. Or Straight up white hair.

Haha. Well with horns, purple eyes, red hair/gotee, and not mention a grown man's voice, it's going to be a challenge for Kishi to do this.

Maybe we'll see him as an old man telling a story, and then in the flashback, we'll get the Naruto face.

 

[iNotorious]

We will have a reveal of him later on, I'm worried about is chapter 572 I think when the sage is talking to the bijuus. I want to hear his voice :0

 

[SasukeUchiha910]

A red-haired version of Naruto with a goatee. *_*

white hair..... obito can attest to that my friend...

 

[H a n]

Sounds legit to me.

 

[Trollasaur]

I'm guessing he has red hair too, but he might not be a Uzumaki... if that makes sense

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

white hair..... obito can attest to that my friend...

Obito's hair turned white from struggling to break Madara's control of him in casting Rinne Tensei

Yes I did *_*

Not Red hair
But yes.he would have white hair

Remember the leader of Uzumaki.clan had white hairs

Thanks to many theories, we know that the S06P is going to be revealed with red hair.

But why hide his face if it were just that? That could have been revealed much sooner without damaging the progression of the story. Fact is, S06P secret identity is such that it will tie in well with the themes and main character. In other words, the face has to have substantial literary value. Him being a random face with red hair isn't good enough from a literary standpoint. Sure it's a nice surprise, but ultimately,very unfitting to so a character so integral to the plot.

Why was Tobi Obito and not Izuna? Because Obito parallels Naruto, hence actually provides literary value.

My speculation: The S06P will have a face similar to Naruto's. That is why Kishi didn't show the face.

1) S06P foretold Naruto of being the savior.
2) Juubi saw the sage in Naruto.
3) Rinnegan means Samsara eye. What better way to tie it in than to have S06P literally reincarnated as Naruto.
4) For it to tie in well with the main character, the face has to be significant. But it can't be anyone that we have seen so far because that wouldn't make sense. One exception: the face can be an older Naruto's face.

The face being similar to Naruto's means Naruto is the reincarnation of the S06P. This ties in well with the idea of Samsara. The S06P did many great things of significant importance, that nature/divine forces decided to have him reincarnated as Naruto, a savior that will guide humanity and the tailed beasts in the right direction.


I think part of the reason why Kishi kept dropping the Uzumaki hints is to divert our attention away from something bigger.

He made us think,.

He most certainly dropped enough hints to make the Sage being an Uzumaki an undisputed fact; I'm not going to deny it. Moreover, he dropped the hints here and there so that we, the readers, have to meticulously piece it together, like a puzzle; it isn't easy putting together a puzzle. Also, the Sage being an Uzumaki ties in with Kishi's use of East Asian Mythology rather nicely. It is also a good use of symbolism( Sage-Savior. Naruto-Savior). In all those ways, it's natural to assume that the Sage being an Uzumaki is the reason why Kishi hides his face. However, his primary purpose is to turn our attention away so that we get a huge surprise when we see Naruto's face.

Naruto goes far beyond representing the Sage. He is a reincarnation of the Sage. If anything, Naruto's past form as the S06P represents the current Naruto, the savior, not the other way around.

so you mean naruto will have rinnegan?

Naruto is the reincarnation of the Sage; I would be very surprised if he didn't.

On that particualer panel eyes of naruto and the silouette one's have the axact same shape....

I always thought naruto and SO6P story being some sort of circle. Repeating itself until outcomes his right...

I think it's similar to Ang and the Avatar Cycle( if you followed Avatar: the last airbender, you'll know what I'm talking about), but I think Kishi will make a stronger point by having the faces be the same or at least very similar.

 

[Hawker Fury]

SO6P is Rin, called it.

Why? because its silly enough to be correct.

Ok, silly things aside… Well, if the series really wants to go down the road of “the one destined to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the force” then it can only be Naruto.

Otherwise, he could ether be a new introduction or what I call a hidden pillow (a character inside a character like Obito in Tobi)

If SO6P will be entering the series I hope Kishi keeps his face shrouded and leaves him a mystery for fans to crack their brains over for all eternity.

The Rinnegan represents Buddhism. Reincarnation is a principle concept of Buddhism - and the "paths" represent the 'levels' of existence. Based upon ones actions in life - they are either reincarnated into the same 'path,' a higher path, or lower path with good and bad lives, respectively.

This is what the Rinnegan and its powers are based off of.

Of course - the concept of Buddhism is personal enlightenment - seeking the 'inner God.' Which is what the Uchiha/Sage's tablet is all about. It discusses the different 'solutions' to the problem of the human experience (pain, joy, suffering, fulfillment - etc). The various solutions are inscribed in such a way as that each solution is apparent to different ocular jutsu. The Sharingan, being born of the curse of the Juubi and tainted with rivalry - sees one solution. The Mangekyo Sharingan, brought about by intense emotional conflict, reveals the details of a different solution.

It would stand to reason that the Rinnegan reveals another solution - and perhaps the Byakugan does, as well.

All of this leads me to believe that the Rinnegan is "awakened" in a manner similar to achieving something like Buddhist enlightenment. The process for which is likely related to the 'solution' described upon the tablet.

But I'm rambling at this point...

Yes precisely, Rinnegan represents reincarnation. That connection is finally going to be tapped into when Kishi shows the Sage's face, finally giving the Eye of Samsara justice.
