so why couldn't madara have found obito's body half dead, taken him to his village to nurse him back to health, let obito grow up, then madara takes his body? tobi did say he has the power of madara and itachi did say that madara is a mere shell of his former self. both statements could imply that madara is in obit's body. people say they buried obito in kohona though we never saw the body, we suspect as much because they had his goggles... much like they "buried" J-man and we suspect they didn't get his body back but they still had articles of his at the grave stone.
really i think mizukage could be either madara or obito. zabuza mentioned that there was an uprising in the village of the mist to over through the mizukage. well what if it was attempted again but succeeded ending in obito being mizukage. maybe kisame recognized the body as obito but didn't know madara was in side. OR maybe in the first uprising madara took obito's body to fight off the attack. i guess my point is mizukage is a title and anyone holding that office would be called mizukage. now, kisame also called him madara so perhaps the mizukage is madara. however, kisame seemed to be more comfortable knowing the mizukage was involved and calling the shots. there have been some theories about kisame being on the same side as itachi. so would that mean that kisame's comfort with the mizukage would mean that the mizukage is also on itachi's side? but then why booby trap sasuke? itachi knew madara when he saw him. perhaps itachi booby trapped sasuke because he figured the only time sasuke would see a sharingon would be if he were in a fight with an uchiha.
and that folks is why i have given up on this topic and am quite content waiting to see what kishi has in store for us.
