Note: This Theory has taken a drastic turn and I had to completely write a new part of this. As such, I have decided to re-post this theory.
If you have read the First part, just take a look at "Point 2" and skip to the Edit Section.
Edit: Ever since, Black Zetsu's revelation as Kaguya's son, I have to say that this theory has taken a big turn. As such, I have changed "Point 2" and added an edit section.
1) Hashirama's and Madara's Flashback
You must be registered for see images
At this point of time, we see that Madara had not yet gone blind. He was still on equal footing with Hashirama. His MS eyes were still clear and had not gone blind.
Also note that Izuna is antagonistic to the Senju.
Only later did Madara awaken the EMS.

But this poses a question : Why did Madara transplant Izuna's eyes at the point of Izuna's mortal wound by Tobirama ? Where did this EMS knowledge come from ? Why would Madara transplant eyes if his own MS had not gone blind ?
Not to mention at this point of time, nobody knew that EMS existed as Madara was the first person to awaken it.
My answer : Izuna at the time of his Mortal wound given by Tobirama realized that his body was not going to last long.
So, he gave his eyes to Madara to awaken EMS.
2) Madara's Supposed Death
We know that Madara lost at the Valley of the end fight and was mortally wounded.
But, Hashirama notices someone's presence.
Who could it be ? The logical answer is it was someone to help Madara. And I say that was Izuna.
Edit :-
Here, we see that the mysterious figure was Black Zetsu and not Izuna.
While, you may say it kinda disproves my theory, quite the contrary, it actually strengthens this theory as it solves a big plothole in my theory. I will clear this up in the edit section.
I will take a long shot here and say that Izuna knew about this from the Uchiha Stone Tablet :-
Ashura which is in Hashirama Powers + Indra which is in Madara Powers = Rinnegan
After reviving Madara with Hashirama's and Ashura's power, Izuna was able to ensure that Madara would awaken Rinnegan in the future.
At this point, I would say that Izuna died reviving Madara.

3) The Purpose of the Zetsu Experiments
What was the purpose of the Zetsu experiments ?
Obviously, Madara didn't know the true purpose of the White Zetsus and thus classified them as Failures.
True purpose of White Zetsus :-
Madara calling White Zetsus failed experiments :-
Obviously, If Madara knew about the White Zetsu Army, he would have never pursued Infinite Tsukuyomi as a way of Peace.
So, Why ? It was to revive his Brother Izuna. Madara loved his brother dearly. As, such the ultimate goal of his experiments was to resurrect Izuna. And, he finally succeeded in reviving Izuna's will in Spiral Zetsu.
Note: Unlike Black and White Zetsu, Spiral Zetsu was completely unique and couldn't be related to Kaguya's plans.

4) Role Of Obito
While we can say that Obito was a backup in Madara's plan, I find another purpose.
In the end, Izuna was just a Will in an Artificial body. He needed a Body, a vessel. And that body was Obito.
Considering that Obito was Half Zetsu, it's plausible that Spiral Zetsu could have controlled him. This might explain the "Goofy Tobi incident". This relationship between Spiral Zetsu and Obito could have been symbiotic.
Considering that the whole Rin incident was Madara's plan, it's plausible that Madara did this for Obito to be :-
A) As a backup for his plan.
B) To give Izuna or Spiral Zetsu a vessel.

5) The Sauske and Madara incident
Hashirama says that Madara dearly loved Izuna, his brother.
He also said that Sauske was near identical to Izuna.
Yet, Madara doesn't hesitate to stab Sauske, a person who has near resemblance to Izuna.
Moreover, some chapters later, he actually curses the world for his Brother Izuna's death due to power.
These two panels are contradictory. He almost killed someone who looked like Izuna, yet still cares about him.
Why you ask ? Because by that point, Izuna was alive as Spiral Zetsu fighting the Five Gokage.
Madara is even concerned for Spiral Zetsu hinting at his "Insides" or Izuna's vessel ( Yamato).
He also said that Sauske was near identical to Izuna.

6) Izuna's Goal
A) We know that Madara's Rinnegan actually was in the possession of Izuna in it's MS state.
B) Izuna gave these eyes to Madara to awaken EMS.
C) Izuna gave Madara Hashirama DNA, so that he will awaken the Rinnegan.
Where does this point ? Infinite Tsukuyomi. But, does Izuna have the same desire of universal peace via Infinite Tsukuyomi where everyone will became Zetsus ?
No, he wanted the Shinju's fruit, or what is inside it.

I once made a prediction :-
Combining this theory with the prediction, I would say that, Izuna's end goals are :-

Combining this theory with the prediction, I would say that, Izuna's end goals are :-
A) To revive Sobojo.
B) To get Sobojo's Eyes from Madara (Currently in Kaguya's possession).
c) Absorb the Shinju and become the perfect being with the perfect body and eyes.
This it kinda ties in with TBG's Spiral Zetsu being the fruit theory :-
You may say that Izuna was a part of Sobojo, perhaps, his will.
B) To get Sobojo's Eyes from Madara (Currently in Kaguya's possession).
c) Absorb the Shinju and become the perfect being with the perfect body and eyes.

7) Madara's defeat and revival
Could Madara have fallen to Kaguya on purpose ? So, that he could obtain Kaguya's power ? Will Izuna help Madara in obtaining Kaguya's power ?
Also, currently Kaguya is inhabiting Madara's body.
Madara's will was also a part of Black Zetsu.
Who's to say that Black Zetsu did this on purpose to Madara to bring out Kaguya ?
Not to mention that the Rikudou tools are out there which could help in sealing Kaguya who is in Madara's body.
In the end, Madara could bring Izuna closer to his goal of the fruit. If Madara obtains Kaguya's powers, he can easily defeat two threats to the Shinju's fruit plan : Naruto and Sauske.

8) Villian Trolls
Kishi loves introducing Villains suddenly to increase the appeal of the story. Examples being :-
A) Edo Madara being revived suddenly proving that Tobi was not Madara.
B) Tobi being Obito.
C) Black Zetsu reviving Madara via Obito.
D) Black Zetsu being Kaguya's will and reviving Kaguya.
All of the underlined characters above have a similarity, they had an important role in the story, were forgotten by Kishi purposely and suddenly introduced as Villains. So what's to say that Izuna couldn't be Spiral Zetsu's will and introduced suddenly also ?
A) Edo Madara being revived suddenly proving that Tobi was not Madara.
B) Tobi being Obito.
C) Black Zetsu reviving Madara via Obito.
D) Black Zetsu being Kaguya's will and reviving Kaguya.
All of the underlined characters above have a similarity, they had an important role in the story, were forgotten by Kishi purposely and suddenly introduced as Villains. So what's to say that Izuna couldn't be Spiral Zetsu's will and introduced suddenly also ?
9) Conclusion
After reading the huge theory do you think :-
Spiral Zetsu could be
Izuna's Will ?
Spiral Zetsu could be

Edit Section :-
1) Solving the Plot-Holes :-
So, there were two plotholes in my Theory which I was never able to solve until Black Zetsu's revelation as Kaguya's son. These were :-
A)
All these plot holes get solved if Black Zetsu predated (existed before) Izuna and Madara. Black Zetsu existed before Izuna and Madara and as such give Izuna :-
A) Knowledge of the MS and EMS.
B) Knowledge of how to awaken Rinnegan.
If Black Zetsu and Izuna joined forces to manipulate Madara, then it will also solve many plot-holes riddled here and there in Black Zetsu's narration.

2) Changing the Uchiha Stone Tablet text :-
You must be registered for see images
(Bottom Panel)
The first problem : How can Black Zetsu change the text on the tablet if he can't read what's written on it ?
If someone wants to read the tablet, you need the Sharingan and it's higher stages.
If he tried to change the text without the Sharingan, he might have written nonsense and not a coherent story which led to Kaguya's revival.
Obviously, Black Zetsu needed an Uchiha's help. An Uchiha who had the Sharingan. Who fits perfectly here ?
You guessed it right, it was Izuna.
So basically, Black Zetsu meets Izuna, uses his Sharingan to change the text on the Tablet and then gives him the MS and EMS Knowledge which had gotten lost forever.
3) Black Zetsu's Scheme :-
After Madara's death, his body is buried in a hidden location by Tobirama.
Note: The scan is debatable because another scan said Black Zetsu hid Madara's body. Considering that Madara never knew of Black Zetsu's existence and Tobirama's personality, I would say it was Tobirama who hid Madara's body.
Here, we can see that right before Madara's revival, Black Zetsu fuses with Madara's Body.
The underlined part is important because at that point "Black Zetsu and Madara became one".
That's why Madara never realised that Black Zetsu was not his will and this is why Black Zetsu formed from Madara.
Because in the end, both were one.
As such, Black Zetsu is successfully able to trick Madara into thinking that "Madara created him and he didn't exist before Madara existed ".
But, this creates a big problem, namely ; " Who will trigger Madara's Izanagi and revive him ? "
Well, Black Zetsu left this part to Izuna and, I will give proof for this in the next point.

4) Madara's Izanagi Revival :-
We all know that Madara's Izanagi was a trigger based technique similar to how :-
A) Itachi placed Amaterasu in Sauske's Sharingan which was triggered by Obito's Sharingan.
B) Shushui's Crow MS Koto was triggered by Itachi's MS.
"All Sharingan trigger based techniques require a Sharingan as a Trigger".
Izuna would use His Sharingan to trigger Madara's Izanagi reviving him. Because, he was the only person close to him who could trigger his Izanagi with a Sharingan.

5) The Mysterious Cloaked Figure :-
Right after Madara is revived by Izuna, he replaces his body with a clone.
Yet, we see two people standing before his grave containing Madara's Clone.
One is Madara as shown by his long hair standing on the Left.
The second one is a cloaked person standing on the right. Why would Kishi put the second person in a cloak ?
Unless of course, the second person was Izuna. By, putting him in a cloak, Kishi was able to keep his identity a secret.
And we see two brothers standing side by side just like in the beginning, Izuna and Madara.

6) Izanagi sealing Sharingan and how Madara bypassed it :-
This is pretty much an assumption but it makes sense as Izuna wanted to lay the foundations of Madara obtaining Rinnegan.
I also think that he convinced Madara to defect from Konoha and pursue Hashirama for his Ashura chakra.
I also think that he convinced Madara to defect from Konoha and pursue Hashirama for his Ashura chakra.
7) The Obito and Tobi Persona inconsistencies :-
As, pointed out by minamoto, there are many inconsistencies regarding the meeting between Tobi and Kisame.
To point them out :-
As, such it is possible Izuna showed his own face and Kisame mistook him for Madara due to the similarities in facial structures of Izuna and Madara.
And to add on to this : I don't even to bother explaining as Minamoto himself has made many threads highlighting these inconsistencies between "Goofy Tobi ( Spiral Zetsu or Izuna in control)" and "Obito".

To point them out :-
But, If Spiral Zetsu was Izuna controlling Obito, he could easily transform his face to his own. And let me tell you, Madara and Izuna look very similar because they are Blood Brothers.
As, such it is possible Izuna showed his own face and Kisame mistook him for Madara due to the similarities in facial structures of Izuna and Madara.
And to add on to this : I don't even to bother explaining as Minamoto himself has made many threads highlighting these inconsistencies between "Goofy Tobi ( Spiral Zetsu or Izuna in control)" and "Obito".
After all this evidence, that I accumulated over months, I think that there is a very high possibility that Kishi may reveal Spiral Zetsu as Izuna.
If, you did make it to this point, Thanks for reading and sticking till the end.
