This is my best theory on Izanami, i'm unsure on if its been posted before but if so let me know.
In the manga, Itachi has just activated Izanami, a technique that we know requires the sacrifice of one eye with MS. Itachi has also just been hit by Kabuto's dissection blade.
My theory surrounding Izanami is that we have already seen it a LOT in the anime and manga before.
Firstly - During Japanese Mythology, Izanami and Izanagi are both brother and sister, while being spouse - they are the Gods that created the islands - therefore the Gods of creation.
Comparing this to the anime - we already know that Izanagi bends the line between Illusion and Reality and allows one to be "reborn" or "recreated" in an alternate reality.
So what does this mean for Izanami?
We know that Tobi can use Izanagi - we saw him use it against Konan during her final battle, which sacrificed his eye.
We ALSO know that Tobi only ever has ONE visible eye UNTIL he gets the Rinnigan.
My suggestion is that Tobi has used Izanami before, - Izanami being a form of 'creation', therefore Izanami may be the creation of Alternate dimensions/Planes.
We know that Tobi is able to teleport from place to place, and we also know how. Through the use of a Portal that he creates to an alternate dimension that bends space and time (the fact that he is able to move instantaneously from one place to another in the real world suggests that time is altered (somewhat like tsukuyomi))
Therefore, Izanami is the secret behind Tobi's teleportation - he used Izanami to create his alternate reality and allow teleportation for himself as well as his dematerialization (due to being able to teleport to his universe for microseconds in order to avoid being hit by a punch etc.
Just a Theory, what do you think?
