When I say "Masked Man" I'm referring to:


Here we see Minato explaining that he knows of major events "through" Naruto:


Now we do not know the extent of his knowledge gained through Naruto:
-Has Minato been watching/learning everything for 16 years or just recent events from that point?
-He clearly knows what Pain looks like if he's willing to distinguish him from "Masked Man".



"Masked Man" was not in the Akatsuki uniform during the attack sixteen years ago:
-How does Minato even know of the Akatsuki? Did he learn it through Naruto? Or through the "Original Akatsuki" of Yahiko, Konan, Nagato, etc.
-Does he know that Naruto met Tobi and is admitting that "Masked Man" actually is Tobi himself?

All these questions and more linger in my head until Kishimoto decides to clear my thoughts...
I think Minato confirmed that the Tobi we know currently is in fact the same man as "Masked Man" and wishes for Naruto to use his "fatherly-given" power to defeat the enemy Minato could not...
So what do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure (like 99.99% the Masked Man is Tobi).
I just wanted to give some insight into Minato's confirmation.

Masked man is Tobi yes, he phases through objects.


OffTopic:
Did you just happen to watch the anime or something? Before the said events of flashbacks happened ( during Kushina's ), you should of seen Tobi phase through things already.

It equals Tobi but Tobi equals Obito..
Whatever point you were trying to pull seems invalid.

well, I think everyone has kinda accepted that it was Tobito... and that's how it should be...

Now that I think about it, Kurama's attack, Minato and Kushina's death were like acts of personal vengeance by Obito... :T_T:
And what I find amiss is "The Great and Wise Minato Namikaze" couldn't recognize his own dear student?

Why do you (and several others) feel he should have been able to?

because he's supposed to be so WISE... he assumed it was 120 year old Madara and not once did he think it could have been another Uchiha...
