It's already been stated before...but I have some things to add to Obito=Tobi Argument. This does not however mean that Tobi still can't be someone else.

From Kakashi Gaiden the only thing we knew is how Kakashi got his sharingan, Obito was fodder, Rin was the "sakura" and that the 4th was Kakashi's squad leader. We thought the whole story was supposed to be about Kakashi but now it seem's that that's been proven wrong.

From this picture we find out about the starting of Obito's journey. He wanted to become a Ninja, a kid full of hope, he wanted to prove his worth as an Uchiha, and comes late, but he meets the girl he likes and is happy by this...

As the Chuunin exams pass, and teams get disqualified, Kakshi Obito and Rin make it through. Obito "is a good boy" as shown on this page. He's helping an elderly woman with groceries...nothing big, but shows that he indeed had a good heart.

Get's his ass handed to him, and Rin being a medical Ninja helps him heal. He shows off his Uchiha crest which shows that He's a proud Uchiha.

Continues to show Uchiha Crest with fade into Hokage Monument with 4ths face on it. The 4th Hokage- Minato- had probably been already chosen by now. He imagines his face in it, and states that he will become the 5th Hokage. A dream he shares with the protagonist of the whole Naruto Universe.

Here it seems that Obito hates Kakashi. He wants to be better to him as Kakashi is stealing the spotlight from the girl he likes. He is getting angrier, sadder, and more depressed.

His "test of love" while trying to confront Rin I suppose, has flowers ready, but right when he's about to go and tell her about it, she comes with a really depressing note.. that makes Obito even sadder.

This note, was the last known thing to happen between Obito and Rin before his last mission. He never got to confess his love, he never got to surpass his rival, he was a dissapointement as an Uchiha, he was dissapointed in himself.



From the latest chapter we get a completely different side from Uchiha Obito. Other than the fact he was a fodder, he had dreams, he had a rival who he seemingly hated and wanted to surpass at the same time. Kakashi was the biggest ***bag to Obito until the moment of his death. Rin was a bit*h to him after seeing how "cool" Kakashi was. Everyone was forgetting about his feelings, and treated him like a tool. Maybe Minato didn't, but as a teenager, you get more affected from your friends actions, not your mentor's.

He was the Naruto of the Squad. He was seemingly shown and perceived as a loser. His abilities were deemed inferior to Kakashi's. The same way Naruto was to Sasuke and Naruto was to everyone until he had something to fight for. Obito and Naruto are similar in many ways, both wanted to become Hokage, both are underestimated, both want to prove they are strong to the ones they loved. But Obito was stepped on even more since Kakashi was known as the son of the white fang, younger than him, and was looked upon as a "fodder uchiha" who didn't even unlock his sharingan.

Kakashi, was the Sasuke. Egotistic ninja with serious superiority issues.

And Rin was the Sakura. The Ninja who liked the cool elite, while ignoring the one who truly admires here not for how she fights, but for who she is. Obito truly loved Rin, and Naruto truly loves Sakura.

Now where did Obito's path go wrong? Well he seemingly died as a good hearted shinobi, he liked helping people, he was late because of that a lot. But Obito's hate towards Kakashi was there throughout his whole life. The moment in Kakashi Gaiden only happened because of his death, and Obito wanted to make sure Rin wouldn't die, and was believing that he would indeed die, having a half crushed body, and giving his sharingan to Kakashi as his "gift" for becoming a Jounin. Obito was thought to be dead. But indeed he was not. We know tobi has "rock style techniques" so would that mean that Obito also had an earth Nature Chakra and got out of under the rock himself? It's certainly a possibility. He could have also been saved by Madara but had a completely deformed face so Madara gave him a mask to wear. Madara gave Obito the knowledge of the Hidden Lead foundation, and the upcoming betrayal of the Uchiha clan, as well as what the Uchiha clan did to him. Obito lost his faith in wanting to become Hokage, he didn't want anything to do with the leaf, so Madara's will has been entrusted to Obito. The last probability is that his body is either being used by an Orochimaru-like Jutsu or that he isn't Obito at all.

We won't know for sure, but I'm just trying to point out that this latest chapter was not trying to show that Obito is Tobi, it was trying to show about how Obito could be Tobi. He had ambitions too, he had dreams, to become Hokage, he was a proud Uchiha, but like with most things, everything good has to come to an end... Obito dissapeared not confessing his love, not achieving anything in life but being a burden, he was a dissapointement to everyone including himself. He was a good person though, liked helping people and was honest, but the girl he loved like the person who resented and wanted to surpass the most. Obito's actions in Kakashi Gaiden are completely different as he wanted to show and prove that there's more to Ninja's than code. They also have feelings, including his own, which he was never really able to express.

All I have to say to that wall of text is "Didn't read lol" and there is a sticky for all tobi and obito theories.

We don't know that. We only know that he didn't die during the fight against Hashirama, but some time later, and we know that him and Tobi know each other, which means the've met at least once.

This makes sense, although I still am very against it.

Trust me when I say that I am too.. I thought it'd be anyone but obito.. :(

But you have to admit, there is reasonable evidence for Tobi being Obito, maybe not logical as of now...

I thought that was well thought out, I really liked the part about Minatos face being imagined on the mountain by Obito, plus there was a flashback of Minato with Hizuren so it is very possible that he was chosen already.

Yeah this actually works really well, it makes sense. And itll probably make even more sense next week when we get more backstory. I wonder if thats why hes so adamant on Naruto and Sasuke fighting each other? Naruto was kinda like him except that he succeeded, while sasuke was the person he always wanted to be? (hmm...somethings off abut the way i wrote that but you get the idea). But yeah, i really wanna know what he wants with sasuke.

Yeah, the Sasuke thing makes sense and Naruto was always looked over for the cooler kid. Rep to you!

so he is like Naruto ... and we all know how hard Naruto's life was ... the only difference here that Naruto had a chance to prove himself ... as for Obito he had a weak will so he couldn't take all those feelings and they ended up consuming him...

She didn'tgive him the note at first. She whispered in his ear to meet him somewhere private. He thought it was a date and he brought flowers .when she came she gave him the note. Which crushed his dreams.

Heh, so this is what Naruto meant when he said that he and Sasuke could've easily been standing in each other's shoes.

Wow, I forgot about that...

It seems there's more to Tobi being Obito than most of us previously thought...

The problem with this Tobi=Obito hating Kakashi is that Tobi barely wanted to speak with Kakashi from time to time so if he hated him that much he would kill him already. But what we're seeing from Tobi is that he's focused on his plan and he doesn't toward hate to Kakashi. He's way too cold and looking at Kakashi way too null tbh. Furthermore he actually started to likes Kakashi (Obito in the past before his death even saved him.)
What they showed us this week was Obito before Kakashi being jounin, so they both changed shortly before his dead.

For most of the Manga yes, but lately Tobi seems to be getting personal with Kakashi... I agree, for the most part :p 594 on Tobi is getting really personal with Kakashi..

I don't think obito hated kakshi he mostly just envied him much like naruto did sasuke at the beginning. After I read the last chapter saw the same similarities between obito and naruto right down to the goggles naruto use to wear. It's like it's showing how things could have been if naruto wouldn't succeeded in gaining the acceptance in other by getting stronger so it could have been kakshi standing where obito is if he had the chance to prove his strength to people because I see there story much like naruto and sasuke. Let's not forget the one of the reasons sasuke left was because how much stronger naruto was becoming then him which caused him to begin to envy naruto much like naruto use to envy him that cause him to leave the village in order to get stronger.
