herebokurano-Great theory/idea
Just one problem with the end, when did itachi mention something greater than the fox??
Other than that i think its a very credible idea.
It does seem weird for Madara to fight over something as silly as Hokage, after all, he wasnt attached to any real village etc, only his clan, and his clan went down 2 scenarios
1.we believe tobi and they went against him, in which case why did he want to be associated with them and not destroy them from the very beginning?
2.We dont believe tobi and everything went fine and madara is just a psychopath out for himself
Thing is if hes out for himself, why become hokage??
I think youve found something quite good there bokurano, i can certainly see that happening later in the manga
oh.. >> xdzero-That was me lol.
Couple months ago i made a similar theory that madaras eyes were sealed and can no longer use EMS, and itachis gift was involved.
(edit: Here they are!

Since the moon eye thing tobi mentioned though im simply adding to it.
I dont know the ins and outs, as one person says here, i havent filled every gap, but ive answered a plot with generally high possibility.
Whether im correct only time will tell, i may possibly be wrong of course.
