But how does this fit in with Tobi (who you believe to be Obito) knowing Madara on a personal level? Are you suggesting that Zetsu was Tobi at one point? I'm interested to see what people have to say.



Total misconception, Edo Tensei does not revive you the way you were before you died. The manga has never indicated what the situation is with regards to that jutsu. Why was Sasori brought back as a human if he died a puppet, for instance? Anyhow, kabuto said he completed Madara to beyond his prime so I believe that entailed him having a youthful body coupled with the Rinnegan (which he probably awakened when he was old and/or sick).
Yes, But only until he could find someone to take over and have a great chance of completing this plan.

Tobi lied a lot .. i don't think he gave Nagato his eyes just like he isn't Madara, just like he isn't 90 yrs old, blah blah blah
So why does Madara know Nagato by name?

Hmm perhaps, but it still wouldn't explain how the current Tobi is known by Madara.

If Zetsu was once Tobi, Maybe Madara died before Zetsu found Obito and made him Tobi. What if the Tobi Madara knew was Zetsu. Obito would know so much about Madara from Zetsu.

On the other hand.... If there is only one Tobi. The key(or person who connects them to each other) is Zetsu.
I believe in whatever the outcome is, Zetsu has a huge part to play.

This. And also how could Kabuto/Oro figure out the secrets of rinnegan if Madara corpse didnt have his eyes at the time of death?
They didnt deduce anything from Madaras corpse. Orochimaru was gathering information on the Akatsuki from the inside.

A ninja of Orochimaru's level who wanted to gather all the information in the world and learn every jutsu would certainly be capable.

Basically, over years of gathering data, they figured out that Mangekyo Sharingan meets Senju cells and creates Rinnegan.

I used to have this deep ass Kagami theory.

I believed that Kagami helped Danzo form Root.

See there was one thing connecting Tobi to Root and that was Tobi controlling the Mizukage. Here's a quote from the Naruto wiki and it holds a lot of truth.

"Danzō has also trained its members to lose their emotions by growing up as brothers from a young age, only to later be made to kill each other. This is done to kill any sense of sentiment or emotional attachment. This method was extremely similar, if not identical, to the Kirigakure Academy's former graduation test"

This similar practice, as stated, was implemented in Kirigakure by Yagura. Of course, as we all know, Yagura was manipulated by Tobi. In my opinion, Tobi controlled Yagura to accomplish 3 things

1. Destabilize Kirigakure to a point where it will collapse
2. Gain followers for the Eye of the Moon plan. He gained Kisame.
3. Capture the 3 tails.

There are also similarities with Tobi and Root. Mainly his personality, like how he says he's no one. Every member has code names. Tobi itself is a code name. Every single member of Root was emotionless. Tobi himself isn't what you would describe as emotionless. He is what you would describe as a nihilist. Who better than a nihilist than to implement the doctrines of Root?

Also, Tobi being in Root, or having a connection with Danzo, would explain Tobi knowing the time and place of Kushina's birth.

The problem is that most of our information is coming from a known liar. Tobi said he(Madara) gave Nagato the rinnegan, but he also claimed to have nothing to do with the fox attack on Naruto's birth. I have no doubts the "current" Tobi is Obito. If it was someone else possessing him, they would have no reason to throw as many personal insults to Kakashi as he did. How Nagato got the rinnegan and how long Madara lived is still an open question.

There's still some things I think we need to learn more about, like Nagato looks a lot like Madara and I don't think it's accidental plus we still don't know much about Mito or Tobirama. We're still in the dark, we need to wait for more info.

The thing is, Madara dying shortly after awakening the Rinnegan came out of Madara's own mouth.

We know that but everything else about Madara is still a mystery. We know nothing about his fight with Hashirama, how he survived, where he was hiding after he was beat and what he was doing, how he achieved rinnegan or how he died. Plus we still have "them" who Sasuke and Oro are going to meet, and how Rin died. Everything we've learned is probably still only the tip of the iceberg. :omg:

Basically, I was looking through the manga and there are certain things which I feel just do not fit together, especially in the wake of 599's "revelation". If you see any flaws in my reasoning/logic, feel free to point them out.

So what do we know about Nagato's eyes? that he was the one who gave Nagato the Rinnegan during his battle with Konan. What's important to note here is that Tobi was pretending to be the real Madara Uchiha when he said this, as confirmed .

Now, the manga certainly makes out that Nagato's eyes were indeed transplanted. How? Well;
  • (through Muu) that the is the natural progression of the Sharingan, and Nagato failed to show any Sharingan techniques
  • Nagato did not show the ability to switch his dojutsu off, even after his
But i'm calling bullshit on that idea. Why? Madara claimed to have awakened the Rinnegan his death - it's only logical to assume that if Madara really did give Nagato his eyes, he would've died around that time (2nd shinobi war), no? The problem here is, Kishimoto himself confirmed that Madara and Tobi know eachother; if Tobi really is Obito, Madara would've had to at least of lived until the 3rd shinobi war. There are also points in the manga which suggest that Madara is aware of Tobi; and having knowledge of , etc.

So if Madara and Tobi do indeed know eachother, which has been pretty much 100% confirmed, and Tobi is Obito, how can Madara have given Nagato the Rinnegan? Madara died shortly after awakening the eyes, and Nagato was taught by a Jiraiya in his mid twenties - A man who taught a young Minato who then taught Obito. It just cannot fit. Then again, Madara by name, which again gives the impression that his eyes were implanted so that the young Uzumaki boy could one day revive him with Rinne Tensei. But another issue which arises is the idea that there were two Tobis. I find it hard to believe that Obito, who received a 1 in intelligence in the databooks, could've planned everything alone. Then there's also the mysterious who met Itachi, a man who many members believe to be the real Madara Uchiha. After all, this is a visual manga and visual things (like haircuts) are clues left to us by Kishimoto - characters don't just randomly change things like that. Even look at his posture; it certainly resembles that of Madara. But again, ask yourself, how can Madara be alive at this time (Uchiha clan Massacre) if he died shortly after awakening the Rinnegan, a Rinnegan "given to Nagato" years before that?

Essentially, I believe that it's impossible for Tobi to be Obito in mind and soul if Madara gave Nagato the Rinnegan, since Tobi and Madara are familiar with eachother. One could say that Nagato really did awaken the Rinnegan (though that presents a problem in itself since that'd be like saying you can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan without awakening the 3 tomoe first), though this goes against overwhelming evidence in the manga. This stance, however, does allow for Tobi being Obito. The other route is that Madara really did give Nagato the Rinnegan, but that'd mean that Tobi is someone who was born before that time (because he and Madara know eachother and Madara should've died then) - he could not be Obito; rather, someone using Obito's body as a vessel.

To summarize: 'Tobi is Obito (in mind and body)' and 'Madara gave Nagato the Rinnegan' are two mutually exclusive statements; they can't both be true at the same time.

Thoughts? Because, quite frankly, i'm stumped.
tobi is a liar it's that simply

So basically Madara could not have died shortly after awakening the Rinnegan since he would have to give Nagato his eyes but then he would not know who Tobi is since Obito wasn't even born at that time. Quite a perplexing contradiction I suppose. I am truly baffled as well.

i think Tobi is either a current split Madara that needed a new vessel because edo madara finally died or Izuna didnt die and adopted "Tobi" to get back at his brother, the Uchiha, Leaf, etc to fulfill the moon eye plan. I think Izuna agreed to help his brother out after finding out each other was still alive but somewhere in there Izuna really had an ulterior motive of using the moons eye plan to take over the world and create peace, rather than destroy world or take it over or whatever Madara's intentions were. I think though that Obito's body comes into play, because either Madara split or Izuna needed a new vessel (Madara and Oro worked together so it could very well be Obito is just a vessel of sort for one of the Uchiha's). This would explain (roughly and vaguely) how Obito is Tobi, and how he knows what he knows about the leaf, how he knows about literally everybody...or the parasite idea is true and he like idk, obtains the memories of the vessels he uses or of the people he kills or something?? anyways though im sure theres problems with this but its just my idea...

i think tobi is a reincarnation of the sage of the 6 paths son using obito vessel because the elder son had a rinnegan too and tobi is telling everyones stories as if he were alive for a very long time
