Okay, so, I know how some people are resiliant to "Tobi isn't Madara" threads, so please do not read/comment on this thread if you are one of these. I am making this thread for people to ponder on, and I don't need haters. You have been warned.

Okay, so, I've been thinking (as I always do), and I've come to a conclusion about Madara (were you expecting me to say Tobi?). But before I get into my theory, I'll begin with facts.

Fact one, Tobi has never taken his mask off to the reader, only to characters, who have refered to him as Madara (ie. Kisame). Second, Zetsu is of Madara's creation ( ). Third, Zetsu can copy anyone near perfectly ( ). Fourth, Tobi has never been seen with Madara's EMS. Fifth, Tobi can remove his arm, leaving a white substance at the joint ( ). Sixth, Tobi helped Itachi kill off his clan. Seventh (there's a lot, aren't there? xd), Tobi has a mass collection of Sharingan at his disposal ( ). Eighth, Zetsu calls Tobi "Tobi", despite everyone else calling him "Madara" ( ). Now onto the good stuff.

But, before that, a lot of my theory branches off of this one. To understand most of my theory, you may want to read that (or skim it to get the jist of it). Now, with that settled, I'll begin.

How can a human, even the most powerful Uchiha in existance, live for as long as Madara claims to have? This is a major factor in this theory. Espcially the word, "human". You see, what first turned me to my theory is the episode (which I linked above. ). Madara takes off his arm, and leaves the white clump at the end of it behind. How interesting. And then he get's it back relativly quickly afterwards. Hmmm... Who else can detach their limbs and then regrow them...?

After thinking of this, I remembered that theory I mentioned earlier. Now, this theory says that Madara created Zetsu (or at least White Zetsu) out of Biiju chakra and Hashirama's DNA. Now, this is instrumental to my theory, and I expect that a few people may be able to put it together from here, but I'll continue for those who still need a little help.

So, since Madara created Zetsu, Madara knows exactly what Zetsu can do (unless Zetsu was a mistake, but I'm ruling that out for the time being). A question arises from this; why? Why would Madara take the biiju's chakra and Hashirama's DNA to create Zetsu? What's the purpose to it? The purpose to it is that Zetsu isn't human, and therefore, isn't bound by the rules of longevity (how long a human can live before they die of old age). This gives Madara an advantage, in a way.

Now, using the fact that Zetsu won't die of old age, and can create spores so he can't die (in a way), you have to take into account another ability of Zetsu; the fact that he can copy a person to a point. Now, Madara knew that he would die (as all people do; even the Sage), so he created Zetsu to solve this problem. By having White Zetsu make a clone of himself, and having that clone touch Madara and transform into him, by the time Madara died, there was a Zetsu clone of Madara. He also implanted his EMS into Nagato, an Uzumaki with exceptional chakra, so he could develop the Rinnegan (Madara couldn't take it for himself, as he was about to die, and he thought that Zetsu would have the EMS. This was ensuring Zetsu the Rinnegan; essential to the plan. There's a theory saying that the EMS and an Uzumaki can somehow create the Rinnegan; I'll share it sometime if I can find it). But there was a problem. The cloning process wasn't perfect...

Zetsu can't copy Kekkei Genkai (fusing with Samehada wasn't Kekkei Genkai; it was more of a Hidden Jutsu); if he could, why not just make millions of copies of every powerful ninja with epic Kekkei Genkai? Therefore, this Madara copy didn't have a Sharingan, which was a major problem for Tobi (the name Zetsu had given to the Madara representation of himself). So, Tobi went and killed an Uchiha, stealing a Sharingan from him/her. Unfortunatly, Tobi quickly realized that his Sharingan wasn't going to be enough if he were to carry out Madara's plans that were left with him (this realization came after losing to Minato). Then, Tobi found Itachi...

Tobi and Itachi worked together (or something like that) to devistate the Uchiha clan. Afterwards, Tobi took the Sharingan from the dead Uchiha to try and recreate Madara's EMS, but to no avail. But after learning that Danzo and Orochimaru were also collecting Sharingan, he wasn't about to release all of his collected Uchiha eye's to the one who had given the order to kill their owners; he's obviously planning something. This made Tobi weary of Danzo, even to the meeting at the bridge, where he found the purpose of the sharingan Danzo had collected.

After learning that Itachi had left his little brother alive, he waited for his oppertunity. After Sasuke killed Itachi (I know that Sasuke didn't actually kill him, but that's the easy way to describe it, so deal with how I adress it in my theory), Tobi took his chance, keeping his cover as 'Madara', and manipulated Sasuke's emotions so that Sasuke would work with him, and eventually ask Madara for Itachi's eyes; for the EMS Zetsu could never recreate.

Tobi's plans now are to use his last Sharingan to it's fullest and then take the other Rinnegan ( ). After having two Rinnegan within himself, he plans to take Sasuke's EMS and enfuse his Rinnegan with it to create an augmented Sharin/Rinnegan combo (as seen on the moon as Madara explained his plan. ).

But, wait... Tobi could teleport and phase through objects without Madara's eyes. What's going on here? Well, Zetsu can phase through things. But, he can only phase through plant-like materials. Or can he...? What if Tobi is the original Zetsu, and the White Zetsu we see now is one of the inferior clones, and the original could phase through more than plant-like materials? Or maybe it was a Sharingan ability, which he got from the random Uchiha he killed for the first Sharingan. Have we seen him phase through things since he used Izanagi and sealed away the one eye....? (If we have, then it's probalby a superior Zetsu tech.) And as for his teleporting, most likely also a tech. from a Sharingan (don't rule it out; Shisui could mind-control with a 3-tomoe).

Now, what is this theory missing....? I got side-tracked with the Zetsu/true Madara story I was telling..... xd Well, let's go back to the 'Zetsu was a mistake' thing. How can you accedentilly merge the biiju's chakra and Hashirama's DNA in the exact conditions needed to grow a Zetsu. If you ask me, it's highly unlikely that Zetsu was a mistake, and therefore Madara knew what Zetsu could do (with the exception of the Kekkei Genkai thing).

In conclusions, this theory basically says that Madara is and isn't who he says he is at the same time. It explains the ''I'm a shell of my former self," line, and Madara(and Tobi)'s mysterious connection to Zetsu. It also answers this; we saw that when Danzo was merged with the first (somewhat), his arm was augmented, yet Tobi displays none of this. This could be due to Zetsu's ability to easly absorb and replicate DNA, thus making a Madara/Hashirama combo easily, while retaining the physical essence of Madara only. It also says that the 6th coffin could be Madara, even though I doubt Kabuto knows about this, and believes that Tobi is Madara (as most everyone does). (It seems the only question I haven't answered is "What are the other three paths?" I'll tell you as soon as I figure it out. xd)

Now, for those of you who survived this majorly long theory, I'd like to ask; did I miss anything? Is there anything you didn't understand? Holes in my theory? I would like to defend it as much as possible, as I believe strongly in this, and I would like to know if I missed anything in making this theory iron-clad. So, questions? Comments? Concerns? Getting your stick ready to poke holes (xd)? I'm ready, so let's hear it! (It's long, I know...... X__X)

xd I knew it! NO ONE could read all of that in such a short time! VM me if you want the short version (I'm not going to thread the short version, as that's weak and open for hole-poking).

lol i read it! Well, i mean you stated that he got that *passing through anything* from a normal sharingan or zetsu, then what about the power he used to control the mizukage of hidden mist?! Where did he get that?! Again from a normal sharingan?! Or shisui's one eye coz the other one is with danzo! Hehehe, i am kind of trying to ruin your theory, meanwhile trying to get some info as well:D Well, just answer that question i asked above!!

Shisui was rebound for his mind-control and body-flicker jutsu. Now, body flicker is moving very fast, but what if that was mistaken for a sharingan tech that now belongs to Tobi??? O_O. (I'm on my iPod, I'll answer in more detail later, kay?)

i didn't get it!! tobi controlled mizukage with that same technique danzo used in kage meeting!! so you mean he got his hands on one of the shisui's eyes?! that technique is rare, and can't be copied like you said, now who is tobi then, shisui?! well, i am not flaming up here and just my way of asking:D you better come up with good answers:p

So you believe the original Madara is long dead and Madara/Tobi is a clone of him or the original Zetsu needed for the fact that everyone eventually ages and dies. Personally I dont think so I believe Madara lives long due to the fact that he now posses the body of the Senju and his body has morphed into something simmilar to the Zetsu the only diffrence we have is that I believe him to be the original Madara but the way he is still alive is the same. You dont explain how giving the EMS to Nagato creates rinnegan. Madara says he gave him the rinnegan not EMS. Madara wanted to stay under the radar thats why he was acting like an idiot as tobi and not the leader of Akatsuki and why he gave the rinnegan to Nagato so someone else would be noticed.

Wow! Nice theory:) I reckon that might be one of the great mysteries of Madara/Tobi explained.

wow, nice and long theory. I like the way you back your theory with references.
here goes what I think about your theory, I will take it paragraph by paragraph,
The first two paragraphs are all okay.
The third one is off. When madara tore his arm off, it didnt grow back. I f you observe him in subsequent episodes of the series, you will see the wind blowing through his right arm freely as it is empty. However, in other manga's , we see madara with both arms. If you would have noticed, madara always covers his body. he wears masks and gloves. Also, The blob that we saw after he tore his arm was white. IMO, he uses white zetsu as a container for himself. This is how he is able to use Izanagi (you are aware of the source of white zetsu as you metioned alot in the fourth paragraph). I aslos say this because in both the manga and series, we saw hashirama defeat madar with a alot of weapons thus heavily damaging his body.

For the fifth paragraph. no matter how you look at it, even if white zetsu bodys have the lifespan of trees, thus a longer but still definite lifespan, he has an endless supply of zetsu.

In sixth paragraph, you said madara made zetsu make a clone of himself. I thin you need specify which zetsu as they both have similar, and yet very unique features. We know for sure white zetsu is hashirama's clone. Whose clone is the black one or is he even one? Still no clone is exactly as strong as the original no mater how similar they are. I doubt that madara needed have nagato develop the rinnegan. I think he just used him as a proxy in akatsuki. IMO madara developed his EMS into the rinnegan when he obtained hashiram'as power. He did say the rinnegan his to begin with when he fought konan. Also, you pointed out that he has a huge stock of sharingan. Maybe once you get the EMS, its powers stay with you even when you are not with them. I say this because, Itachi should be able to use his full doujutsu despite not having his eyes. Furthermore, madara teleports and becomes Intangible with a normal sharingan. He even summoned the nine tails with a normal sharingan.

Yes Zetsu cant copy Kekkei Genkai. However, I have no reason to believe that madara and tobi are different. Perhaps madara adopted the name tobi to shroud himself in mystery. Only nagato, konan and zetsu knew tobi was madara.

Madara helped Itachi to get revenge on the uchiha for deserting him and being part of the leaf, it also not unlikely that he stocked up on some good sharingan.Maybe he deicded to help Itachi so that he can have him join akasuki and increase it's power. Madar likes good eyes and during the uchiha attack, Itachi already had the mangekyou sharingan.

I am sure that during the uchiha incident, the elders and hokage assumed that only Itach i accomplished the task. Madara , with all his ambitions would never reveal himself. Proof of this was that Danzo himself did not know of madara being alive, being behind the fox attack(he blamed Uchiha) , the uchiha incident( cornered and convinced Itachi to take the mission) or even controlling the akatsuki(naruto had to tell about his converstion with the fourth). it is possible that madara saw danzo at the aftermath before he left the crime scene, since danzo did the clean up and obtained sharingan.

IMO, you are right. I also believe that Itachi assumed no one knew about him in akatsuki. Madara is someone who verifies peoples intentions. I think the moment itachi approached him about the uchiha incident, he sought to find out what itachi was all about.

I mentioned earlier how I think madara still has his ems powers. I dont think he plans to use sasukes eyes except as an added military power. He does all ems jutsu with his eyes as they are.

I think madara so far has some rinnegan abilities and some ems abilities. he should be able to teleport. I dont if you are aware, but the left eye of the MS and EMS controll jutsu like tsukuyomi and teleportation or Intangibility, while the right controls mainly physical attacks like amaterasu. Therefore he should be able to teleport and do tsukuyomi just fine, without any zetsu tech. I think he specifically need the eye as a tool to cast tsukuyomi on the moon (cause he cant use an empty eye or a normal one) and the rinnegan to sync with the gedo mazo. I mentioned this not to contardict myself when I suggested his ems abilities without the EMS.

I dont think zetsu was a mistake, maybe just an approximation of multiple experiments. so far there are many types of zetsu. The Dumb and silly one(white zetsu) and the brain dead ones(war troops) and the bright and black one, lol

In conclusion, I think madara is tobi, and he perhaps damaged his body during the fight with hashirama. He subsequently resorted to using zetsus as his body after he started experimental with hashirama's cells.

Dont think my reply is long, just trying to keep up with your theory. I need a break, phew. what do you think sharingdork?
