Kisame's response to Tobi

[Rune]

Ok so I've been reading through older chapters and came across the scene where Tobi reveals his identity to Kisame and Kisame calls him "Mizukage... or then Madara". Any ideas why he referred to him as Mizukage?

He understand that Tobi controled the 4. Miukage, therefore he says ''Oh, so you are ''Mizukage''. Understand?

 

[Gaara is beast]

It's cuz madara controlled the 4th and he was making a joke

 

[Rune]

Ok, thanx. Bit slow with jokes sometime, lol.

Because Tobi was controlling the 4th Mizukage. Therefore, Tobi was "the Mizukage" during his time in the Mist Village.
