A good theory, but Madara is Madara, no doubt. The more time that passes, the more unlikely it becomes that he is some random Uchiha. Too much time has been spent explaining Madara's history, his influence on the world and his countless misdeeds for it to not really be him. We know that Itachi knew of Madara's existence and his strength. There is absolutely no doubt that Tobi is Madara in some form or another. To me, the most likely scenario is that it is indeed Madara in his original body, but he has altered his body to be comprised primarily of Zestu DNA, giving him great healing abilities and extended life. The indications are just too great to point anywhere else.
Many questions are still unanswered like why his appearance changes with time, his use of space-time jutsu without currently having a MS, his survival after loosing to the 1st, and his seemingly split personality. The biggest thing to keep in mind the order of all this stuff, like how he couldn't have used Izangi to survive his battle with the first because he hadn't yet gained Senju DNA. I would like to know what happened to Kagami Uchiha however; of all Danzo's old allies, he's the only one that we never saw again after his flashback:

I suppose if it is another Uchiha, he'd be the best candidate, but I really highly doubt it.

Sorry man, I think that is pretty darn farfetched to do all this, I think the better manga uses subtle and well timed twists. This one you put out was interesting but I just can't picture him going to so much trouble to conceal this. Also, I find it hard for Itachi to not see through this as well as the Yondaime not to see this also....they are two of the best shinobi ever and I don't think they would be fooled as to the way Tobi/Madara is doing his stuff.
I think its just simply that Zetsu his pet is still under habit calling him Tobi, and Kishi is giving us all opportunities to speculate into the story .
P.S. I cant imagine Naruto losing his tailed beast, cos I believe the way that his father gave him that chakra for a reason when he first met madara on the night he died.
Appreciate the feedback you two! I thought initially and still do consider this theory to be a stretch as you two do, but I thought I would see how it would fair in the responses, so again, thank you for the feedback. Now tell me what you think of my more favorable theory to "The Madara Mystery."
"Madara" is in deed Madara.
After being defeated/mortally wounded from his fight with Hashirama, he fled using his space-time jutsu with some of the powerful senju's DNA in tow.
Out of respect for his own brother, Izuna, Madara kept his body.
He went to the location of Izuna's body after the fight with Hashirama.
Combining Hashirama's DNA with himself and his brother's body, Madara was ready.
He sacrificed his left eye and with his new Senju DNA used Izanagai.
The result was, Zetsu.
Madara from then on was 100% compatible with Zetsu and could regenerate his body.
Sixth coffin explanation:
Since Oro was such a little sneak during his lifetime he/kabuto probably gathered all the DNA from the akatsuki, hence them being IWR.
Examining Zetsu's DNA, he found Hashirama's DNA and Izuna's
He then created Yamato using Hashirama's DNA and stored Izuna's/saved Hashirama's for a later battle we all known and love.
Sooo the person behind the sixth coffin is, Izuna.
Keep in mind that before Madara got the Rinnegan he was a little taken back and somewhat worried. Reason being...
A). He thought Izuna wouldn't be IWR because he possessed the body in the form of Zetsu.
B). I think Izuna was more powerful than Madara and he achieved EMS, as well. Madara stole his eyes and wasn't given them, IMO.
A revived Izuna with limitless EMS and knowledge of Madara's strengths and weaknesses would be enough to make him respect Kabuto.
Kabuto also said he wouldn't speak of "Madara's secret". I would say Madara using Izuna's body and Izanagai to create Zetsu would be apretty good secret for someone to be able to figure out!
dmclea10, to add to your PS...
I think Naruto will lose the tailed beast, but he will still keep some of his chakra. Reason, being he was in Kushina's womb while she had the nine-tails. I think this caused him to absorb some of the nine-tails chakra permanently. Similarly to the Kin-Gin Bros and this was their primary reason for their inclusion, it shows that someone doesn't have to be a jinchuuriki to have the tailed beast chakra. Also, I think their characters and the chakra they possess will become a factor in this war.
