I think the first question that has to be answered is why Tobi appeared and joined Akatsuki after Sasori died. If he founded Akatsuki (this could have been another lie) he should already be a member.
It is possible that he decided to rest after the Uchiha clan massacre and let other Akatsuki members hunt the tailed beasts. But when Sasori died he needed a replacement for him and because he couldn't find one he filled the position himself.
But i'm searching for another reason.

1st thread I ever made on base and I stick by every word. Date thread was made: March 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yep this is another Tobi is Obito thread but it may just be the best one you have ever read and might even make you reconsider your previous thoughts..

My Theory

Here's my theory obito's near death experience enabled him to unlock his ability to become intangible and pass through solid objects and barely makes it out alive from the underground cave with the right side of his body half crushed. Right after this he encountered Zetsu who meets this young boy with special eye powers and saves him.

I belive Zetsu is some sort of creation by madara “The way I see it is that, when madara was dying he activated the rinnegan, and let’s zetsu take the rinnengan from him, along with the harashima cells, and also some of madara's own DNA. He then tells zetsu implant all of these things into a piece of zetsu body, like a big enough chunk to make a body, hence developing a second madara. That had all his memories (or possibly he could of extracted his entire brain?) and shit.”

And later infused this body with obito who he found because he needed the body of an uchiha and this was he’s perfect chance because the uchiha’s were all still alive and he didn’t want to engage into combat.

Now what if zetsu before meeting obito implanted the rinnegan into an uzumaki child (nagato). So he could get the Sage Body |Sage Eyes sort of thing in order to study it abilities and then later when this uzumaki child was powerful enough revive madara in his prime.

But as this uzumaki got older and stronger zetsu knows he wouldn’t be able to guide and control this child anymore, which is why he needed an uchiha body to put madara’s dna, memories and harashima cells into. Which he later did when he lucky found this defenceless boy with special eye power.. Obito.

--------------------------------------------

Now before you question my theory or flame me read the whole thread !!!!!!

First of all let's start with the BASICS, tobi is basically Obito with a missing O this is probably one of the first links people spotted but is very true. Even if you say tobi backwards out loud it is actually “bi to” and if you spell tobi together multiple times without spaces you get this tobitobitobitobi SMALL, IRRELEVANT but ture links but as I said this is just the BASICS. Now this same small link was the same with naruto and nagato and look at the big link with them, both uzumaki, Both jiraya's students..

the list of links goes on

In the naruto series Kishi makes a lot of links between characters, names and much more which are all connected... don't want to go into details withall the links with names this thread would be too long..

Second link hair well as we all know obito's hair and tobi's CURRENT hair are very similar

You must be registered for see images


But in the past tobi has been seen with longer hair, but obito could of left his hair to grow for whatever reason and then cut it back to how it was originally.

Also the first tobi we ever ever! saw was the one who went up against the 4th and this tobi had short hair. So this supports he let his hair grow again to maybe change is appearance or for whatever reason.

Tobi is a character who changes his appearance the most in Naruto with frequent mask changes

You must be registered for see images


You saying tobi is not obito because he once had long hair is just like saying the mask man who talked to kisamae is not tobi because he has a different mask

Tobi's sharingan powers is similar to kakashi's it was stated that each sharingan user has unique power, kakashi can warp objects that he focuses his eyes on into different dimensions

You must be registered for see images


Tobi can warp anything he touches into different dimensions.. as well as himself to different dimensions and other locations.

You must be registered for see images


Kakashi sharingan IS Obito's eye and kakashi is not a full uchiha so it’s obvious that he would not be able to use it to its full ability. It is also obvious that obito would have this sort space/time powers if he survived, which tobi clearly does.

You must be registered for see images


People also say well it’s not obito because tobi has 2 sharingan which was revealed with his fight against konan well..

You must be registered for see images


And

You must be registered for see images


Tobi has shown great skill in transplanting eyes as he gave sasuke itachi's eyes and also he implanted the rinnegan in he’s left eye. So yhhh that kills that argument doesn't it..

Another argument is tobi is too strong to be obito he couldn't of got that strong in that time space to fight the 4th and so on, well if obito did survive we don't know what happened to him in those 3-5 (not sure) years. Look at naruto here

You must be registered for see images


And now look at him here

You must be registered for see images


Hope you get my point, look how strong naruto has become in a 3-4 year period, I mean itachi killed his whole clan when he was 13 (I think) so how can you say tobi is too strong to be obito.

Also what people do not see is that obito is not strong at all, I mean all he does is absorb people and teleport. I mean if obito did survive and unlock his powers would he need to improve much on his ninjutsu and taijutsu ?? I think not! He’s powers to become intangible and his space/time techniques are fearful enough

Yes he went up against the 4th... And lost !

You must be registered for see images


Anyone can go up against anyone the battle between the 4th and tobi was mainly a battle of brains not brawn, tobi isn't physically strong at all it’s just his ocular powers which are enough.

People say Obito has no reason to be evil look well.. look at sasuke here

You must be registered for see images

and look at sasuke here

You must be registered for see images


Obviously we have been following the story of sasuke as well as naruto so we know all the events that have happened in the last 3-4 years but like I said we don't know what happen to obito if he did survive.. good guys can turn bad as seen with many characters.. * cough cough* nagato

Now obito's body was crushed.. Tobi's body is filled with a white substance most likely zetsu,

which makes perfect sense for this to be obito look at tobi here

You must be registered for see images

he's right side is white

we know that zetsu and tobi are very close

You must be registered for see images


Like my theory says he could have confronted obito or even saved him we don’t know!

Tobi is old we saw his face, yhh whatever, we've seen the right said of his face NEVER the left, his right side was crushed of course it would look squashed. There has been many times were we have seen tobi’s right side of his face never his left ??

You must be registered for see images

You must be registered for see images


You must be registered for see images

This one is the real key if kishi is willing to reveal this much of tobi’s face he might aswell reveal all of it ? welll if it is obito the the left side should be fine not squashed which is the only reason I can think of for his left face not to be shown

This is a complete random clue I saw from re watching some past naruto ep's (ay I was bored) anyway right before akatsuki was introduced and itachi and kismae were sitting down in a restaurant this was said.............

You must be registered for see images


Asuma said this to kakashi because he said he is collecting something for an offering or something like that. Funny that obito was mentioned right before akatsuki were introduced and I assure you this was righttt before itachi, kisame and akatsuki was introduced. It would be very ironic as tobi claims to be the influence behind akatsuki and obito is mentioned right before akatsuki’s introduction anyway just a clue I found.

If you actually read all that wow, I added a lot of pictures in this thread so I could prove everything I said was true. I will probably reply to post on this thread by just copying and pasting because people don’t seem to read the post properly when the answer is right there.

There's no way I can go into why tobi isn't the elder son, izuna uchiha or kami uchiha. Have you seen how long this thread is however I will do brief summaries why I believe they are not tobi.

Sage of six path son:
“Even the elder son's dad wasn’t immortal so why would he be? Kakuzu even said there’s no true immortality meaning even Hidan ages. Everything deteriorates. Plus tobi posed as madara. why would the mighty son of the sage pose as a kid, who would madara be to him? and why is he madara's bitch, following madara's plan and planning to resurrect madara? why would he become so weak over the years? his fight with his bro couldn’t have done that much.”

Izuni madara brother:

You must be registered for see images


He is blind and dead why do you people say this, if he was blind how did he get new eyes?? We saw him in his coffin ?? Even if he "didn't die" he would die from old age what is wrong with you people ?? Yet we didn’t see obito die and you say he is dead ??

Kami uchiha: I wouldn't mind if it was, I actually like the idea and is who I believe tobi is if it is not obito. Kami is around the right age to be tobi and also he just seemed to disappear with no explanation. But if it was him, who would it shock? Most people probably don't even know him the third is dead, danzo is dead and the second 2nd is dead.. If it was obito that involves the 4th and Kakashi who are connected to almost all the characters in the naruto universe in some way or form.

For those how thought the obito is tobi theory died I'm showing you it’s still alive and kicking !!

Please argue against any of the points I've made or maybe some that I haven't made, this is a discussion and I would like to hear your thoughts
I just don’t like the fact that people are saying “It can’t be Obito !!” when as I have shown in this thread it very well could be. :scorps:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tobi's real timeline:

The biggest misconception about tobi is the events we have actually seen him in. I am going to confirm to everyone that the first tobi we ever saw in the naruto series was short haired tobi and this was the nine tails attack.

The long haired tobi that revealed himself to kisame was tobi 8 years after the nine tails attack and itachi was around 13 at this time.

Tobi has calmed to do the following things “battle with the 1st" “hashirama being the man he hates and respects most" “Give nagato the rinnegan" “In courage Yahiko to start the akatsuki" (Note this is all things we haven't seen tobi do) We know now tobi is not madara, so I ask my self is the things he said he done actually done by him or was he posing as madara?

Even the bit about nagato can be backed up with the real madara doing it and not tobi.

So yh basically tobi can be obito as the first tobi we saw and can confirm from kishi has short hair and all the events he said he done before this time can be backed up for it being madara.

I am officially done with thread for good, and I am throwing aside all of my counter-theories in the process. Yami, you can go ahead and count this as a victory, I no longer count out the Obito theory. Anyways, I'm just going to pay attention to the manga and see what happens, I'm done theorizing.

This is actually great input, from the moment I started reading, I got the idea that maybe Tobi saw Rin's death and was going to mention that when quoting you, but you already covered that as well. xD

Great job. rep+


At first, I thought it's just too obvious.


But then I started considering the story. Everyone was saying that Tobi is Madara, and that for Madara to be in that coffin is just too obvious. And then, it actually was Madara in that coffin. Some were even saying that it would be too cliche for a mystery man behind a mask. However, when the ninja world discovered that it wasn't Madara, Kishi ended the chapter with a "Who's behind that mask?!" Like no one was ever even suppose to suspect a different person. -__-


You may not remember this, but there was that chapter when Naruto first arrived to the scene of the war, and Kishi ended that chapter with a "Who's rasengan is that?!" Now I actually thought it'd be too obvious to be Naruto, but I was wrong. -.-


Then there's the recent chapter, LOTS have said it's too obvious if it was Obito's eye, but it actually turned out to be.


It's just how Kishi is, I believe he already had this planned, and now all his pieces are falling into place. I think most of the crowd just became tired of hearing Obito theories, and because they get called idiots all the time, lots went along with those who opposed the theory. xd

Thanks man, yeah I believe the writer plans every detail out but other's seem to think that Obito=Tobi is Kishi getting these 'random plot events' from his a$$ or something. hehe, well let's just wait for the 'big reveal'...nice latest chapter by the way!! Epiccnessss!..:scorps:

My theory is in my sig.
Seriously, Kishi WANTS us to believe it's Obito, he'll blow our minds.
Maybe it is Obito.. and not at the same time.
Maybe just his eye and or body, + someone else's soul.
Or it is Obito, with a f**ked up mind, a.k.a Reboot genjutsu,
ends up as Obito with Madara's mind, sort of like Greed in fma.

Its Obito, I said it before a couple pages back, Obito survived the boulder. He phases through it. He witnesses Rins death while hiding in the shadows. THere are two Tobis. One is Obito, the one that didnt mention his name at all who happens to be the older "Tobi" is either Madara or Danzo. Most likely its Danzo. Im 85% sure the original Tobi was Danzo. Danzo may have had a part in Madaras plan from the start.

My original Theory. Post 792.

Lets see if Im really corect :D I was wrong about one thing. The battle at the bridge was referring to the fight where Kakashi gained the Sharingan. Not some unknown fight that we hadn't seen yet that happens after Obito's death. Rin must die later on, not sure how though. But my basic Theory still stands.


Okay, I will create a Obito STORY for you guys and see if this fits for a motive.

In regards to Obito being crushed by the rock.
At this point we know Obito unlocks his sharingan. Tobi is able to phase in and out of objects (by moving parts of himself to another dimension) only possessing the sharingan, its not an MS technique. You never see his eye change to MS when he does this.

Enters Obito, Rin, kakashi and the boulder: Obito can not feel the right side of his body as he lies under rock, at this point he is unaware of his sharingans abilities and he subconciously sent that part of his body to the other dimension to protect himself. He cant feel the right side of his body because it isnt there anymore and this happens to be part of the ability to sustain his life while dodging "attacks". The last thing he asks of Kakashi is to protect Rin from now on. Rin and Kakashi leave and Obito lies there for a day before he realizes he's not dying yet. It doesnt make sense. He tries to stand up and realizes his body phases right through the boulder!!!!.
At this point he decides not to go back to Konoha as he knows the person he loves, loves Kakashi and he doesnt want to get in the way, I mean why not, right? They think he's dead and it might be better off that way for Rin to move on so he feels in his heart, but he continues to watch from afar. he continues to master his ninjitsu ability, mainly his sharingan.



In regards to the comment about Kakashi standing in front of the grave from Tobi.

Fast forward to the Ninja war, the battle place is the bridge. Kakashi and Rin are stopping the invading Ninja army at the bridge, Obito does not participate in this war but is still watching after his true love, Rin. A tactic by the invading Ninja army is used to decieve Kakashi and launch an incoming fatal assault to Rin. Obito sees this attack all too clearly and is confindent that Kakashi also sees it coming and decides not to interfere. He was wrong. He sees Rin ran through and killed right before him. Kakashi is in a state of shock followed by a state of Rage!!!

Kakashi goes on a vengeful assault, basically holding off the invading ninja army by himself.
In the meantime, Obito goes through a mental breakdown. He starts wondering what if would the outcome have been if he interfered and revealed that he was alive to Rin. That she would have been happy to see him and glad he saved her. He starts to grow alot of resentment and anger to Kakashi, to the leaf for that fact for not reinforcing this obvious weakness in the bridge. He feels in his heart by letting Rin die, he in fact killed her himself...


In regards to the comment made by Kakashi and Tobi with reference to the Battle at the Bridge :).

He unlocks his MS ability. He unknowingling transports himself to the other dimension and reappears back on the other side of the bridge behind enemy lines while kakashi hold them off. In his own fit of rage, Obito slays each and every ninja that he comes across. It is literally a one sided fight and every attack passes through him without harming him, he ends up transporting a small group of the ninjas to the alternate reality where he fights them on his own turf. The leader of the invading army and kakashi both witness this. Fear is struck into the invading ninja army as they havent a clue where their commrades went. This technique was the first of its kind witnessed in such a massive exodus of ninja into the void.

From Kakashi's perspective he saw an unknown fighter battling multiple ninja and witnessed adept skills in dodging on going attacks as if they passed right through him, from his perspective and the location he was, he could only see shadow fighting. When he was done his the small force at the bridge he moved forward to see who his "ally" was but he only found some bodies. Obito had already phased back out of the fight and back to the shadows. Kakashi at this point has no idea who it was and decides to keep it a secret. Kakashi becomes the Hero of the leaf. At this point Obito decides he is going to get back at the Leaf, for letting "her die". This includes all members of the leaf including uchiha, whom he never really had a care for since they didnt look at him as an Uchiha.

In regards to, "How did Nagato get the Rinnegan?!?!? Obito was too young to be the giver of the eyes."

During this time period Obito meets another with the same ideals. This other character happens to be in possession of a Sharingan as well, he was older Uchiha whom captured the Hidden mists kage and provided Madara's Rinnegan to Nagato during the war back in the day. This man wore a mask (white mask much like Leaf special unit but with one eye hole) and told him of a small group he needs him to become involved with. The masked man already has some involvement with this group, the Akatski. As he was the one who originally forced its developement from the shadows. In order for Obito to enter into the Atkatski and pull it off as replacing the masked mans involvement (at this point names were not shared between the masked man and Nagato's group). Why does the mask man need his help? well because he's getting really old, he is in fact Madara Uchiha (or possible even Danzo who must have become affiliated with Madara) whom everyone thought had died during the battle with hashirama. Obito is suppose to carry on the character of the masked man while carrying out Madara's plan (to revive Madara in the near future). At this point Obito knows about the Rinnegan and its abilities.

Tobi is born and the Akatski is manipulated from within. Ideals become twisted to follow Tobi's plan. Knowing how important information is, Tobi changes his character and role in the Akatski so some enemies never catch on to who he is and what he is, a.k.a Orochimaru who's looking to get a hold of a Sharingan. Last thing Tobi wants is to become a target from another treacherous Akatski member. As Tobi's ability is unheard of in the Ninja world, Tobi enters the Leaf village and overhears a rumor in the Uchiha that their maybe a Coup de Tat to take over the Leaf. This is golden information. He goes ahead and "accidentally reveals" the plan to leaf ninja either within the village or out in the field and then he watches... You know the rest.



This is what I feel might be a good reason why Obito CAN be Tobi. There it is, an Obito Theory that isnt short, and shares enough reasons and ideas to possibly make it stick :p



So if Madara gave his eyes to Nagato, what did he control the mist kage with???

Madara was a collector of the sharingans at the time, he had already had his eyes transplanted in order to give the Rinnegan to Nagato. The collection continues when Obito Tobi collects the assortment from other various uchiha including the Uchiha massacre. Im sure some of the Uchiha had their sharingan out in full flare, not all were killed in their sleep.



What about Zetsu? I havent a clue. lol. He's more unknown than Tobi is at this point. He seems to be a henchman for "the Tobi's / masked men". Its possible that he was even around since Madara.
We will save ideas about Zetsu for the Zetsu Theories Threads. This is an Obito Theory Thread.
Of course madara did die, could be from natural causes, or his old battle wounds. He was weakened after his fight Im sure.
Im leaning more towards the original "masked man" who never referred to himself as Tobi, being Danzo since he was to control the Mists 2nd Kage (kid).

Another contradiction from this chapter, Tobi says "I'm not afraid of some borrowed power" referring to Kakashi's Kamui.

Didn't Obito give Kakashi his Sharingan as a gift?
It's not Obito.

Damn man, we have the same idea but what you have here is more elaborate! nice!:)..I also posted, but just a couple of days ago(i think it's in page 34)..you called it man, the only difference from my idea was about Rin's death..xd

Obito can't have EMS with his own sharingan. Not how EMS works.
How did Itachi unlock MS then? Tobi/ Obito is not using EMS. He's using MS. His eyes switch between sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan, no proof its the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He has no revealed any sort of power similar to Sussano like Itachi, Madara, and Sasuke.

It cant be obito at all. Obito "died" when he was 13. Minato fought Tobi 16 years ago when Naruto was born. Currently Kakashi is 29-30, so IF Obito was alive he'd be 29-30. 16 years ago when Tobi fought Minato, Obito would've been 13-14 and Tobi was obviously a grown man when fighting the Fourth.
