I dont know if it has been expressed before, but

Tobi is Madara's Kabuto. A nameless nobody who once was old dying Madara's apprentice, who after his master's death has assumed his goals and Identity as his own, even more seriously than Kabuto has and to the point where he has lost his original identity.

I think Nagato was something similar to what Sasuke was to Oro. A tool to be used for the moon eye plan.

I did make a theory once that Tobi was once a member of root, where they all consider themselves tools for Danzou rather than people.

But i think the "I am no one" statement would make the most sense if Tobi was a creation or a soul trapped in a body without their past memories.

Could it be a white Zetsu? that would make sense because whenever he got hit, white body parts melted off Tobi. That or before Madara died, he created a clone of himself so when he died to the 1st Kokage, he had another Madara Uchia keeping under the radar.

If you remember what Tobi says then it will make a lot of sense. Tobi claims to have no real power. The only power he has shown to use is within his sharigan only. That right there is a red flag. Maybe he can use any techs beyond eye techs.

Tobi said a lot with that statement, it's as if he knows who he should be. He has a zetsu body with uchiha eyes, but other than controlling the fox exhibits no uchiha fighting traits. As if he was built for one purpose only and that is to collect beasts and prepare the world for madaras eventual return. So the question is who would madara trust to keep the plan going? Could be his bro but I can't see izuna giving up his body after already giving up his eyes. So madara either tricked or trapped someone's soul in a zetsu body. And kakashi proved that you don't have to be an uchiha to use the eye. Maybe Tobi has limited chakra allowing him to only control the beasts but not much else. So...Tobi could be anyone and at this point tobi's identity really isn't important he's just some fool madara suckered.

I think an inhuman clone would be insufficient. Tobi is very much a real person, but not physically. He is an old man and definitely a real Uchiha. He has made Madara's ideals his own and doesnt claim to be anyone bu madara himself. i strongly believe he is someone who knew Madara personally.

Kakashi proved you don't have to be an uchiha to use the eyes so the soul in Tobi could be anyone. The statement " I am nobody" sounds like buyers remorse to me, as if he knows he might've messed up. I can't believe an uchiha would give up so much willingly. It's almost as if madara scrambled some poor souls brain and plugged them in. He knows what's going on and is indifferent to his situation.

Has an evidence tobi’s famous statement I am nobody.i will clarify my own theory or view if you wish about who is Tobi. I will speak about his relation with Madara,the one he impersonated and his long standing partner zetsu…
Before starting on Tobi I have to begin with zetsu, the original one,the black and white one. A creation of Madara from his own and his rivals dna. A test before moving on to gain the first hokages powers. the black part is the madara genetic source and the white one the frist hokages…

Tobi is nothing more than Tobi, the first artificial and genetically enhanced uchiha. has he said he is nobody, just a tool made into the similarity of his master and creator uchiha madara… made for a single purpose to complete the moons eye plan in the absence of the legendary uchiha.

All that moves this man is this mission, all he cares nothing more,he somehow has got memories of his creator,and has such he feels his pain and sympathizes with his goals.wy impersonating?To make the legend of uchiha madara live nothing more.

Also in one of the newest chapters naruto has somehow realized tobi is not a normal human has he realized.
Tobi refered to himself…
I am nobody
Someone with a goal not a name…
as even a beast like the four tails used as a tool,demands a name.

i have done a similar thread.this was what i wrote

Unless of course, Tobi's parents decided to be badass and name him "no one"

I agree with you about him being Madara's follower. Whether or not he's a true Uchiha is still in question.

I think Tobi is doing everything willingly. He is in total control of the situation. He is more determined than Madara himself.

Maybe the medium by which Madara transferred Hashiramas powers to himself was a living clone material that became known as Tobi.

I've heard alot about the Masked Man actually being Sasuke from the future with alot of good points made.

Other than that, there is alot of evidence that is missing to point to anyone behind that mask. There are far too many people, and what if it's 'not what it seems'? For all we know, it might be Obito behind that mask with his body only being used.

Honestly it's anyone's game now until more evidence is present or his density is finally revealed, implying no strings are attached.
