Re: Naruto Manga 564 Discussion and 565 Predictions
Explain how it could be the 10 tailed beast. I dont understand. Because all the tails formed together make up the beast.
Of course there's no proof of any of this, cause the 10-tailed demon was at a whole different level than anything the naruto universe has shown us so far but...
First of all, the 10-tailed was an actual creature/demon. This is proven because unlike the other tailed beasts, this one had a body of flesh and blood. The 9 tailed beasts we know now are manifestations of energy.
Second, the 10-tailed was so powerful, the old sage of six paths had to split it's energy from it's body, casting the latter up to the sky in the form of the moon.
This energy was STILL so powerful, he had to split it into 9 parts before he died to make sure it wouldn't ruin the world.
Now what we've learned from naruto and the kyuubi is that the energy of the tailed beasts still contains 2 components. One is the actual raw energy, the other is the will of the tailed beast.
Considering that none of the tailed beasts remember being part of one whole, it's not absurd to consider that the will of the 10-tailed actually manifested itself in the world. This is where black zetsu, who imho is something like a possesed venus flytrap, comes into play. It's the embodiment of the will of the 10-tailed, trying to restore it's body and energy (eye of the moon plan).
Tobi is half black zetsu, half corpse of Madara imo. But he's still no one cause Madara died, and Zetsu isn't a person.
Mind that Tobi is still pretty weak. You might disagree, but we've not seen Tobi do anything powerful at all. He's good at using his energy to evade and strike (with weapons) at the best possible time. He knows how to use powerful tools (the edo hosts). Be he doesn't have that much power himself if you ask me.
Anyway, short: Will of 10-tails -> Black zetsu -> Tobi
And if the story would have it, the 10-tails will come back to life in a less complete form, which will have to be handled in the way the old sage did.
The only way that's possible is by Naruto and Sasuke working together. Still lots of content to work with there.
The story is far from over.
