First of all, this is NOT a Tobi identity thread. Its a theory that i've made and was inspired by some points i saw raised in said threads. I know this might be a little long, so no need to remind me of that,lol.
I was pondering over one question which i noticed many people seemed to ask in the Tobi is...threads, a point which, many felt ruled out all possibilities of Tobi being anyone other than Madara and The Elder Son. In this page:
The Kyuubi recognizes Tobi. So the question, then was asked : how was it possible for Kurama to recognize anyone other than Madara as he was sealed first in Mito and then Kushnina Uzumaki..? This is where my theory starts.
How do you perform Step 2, and avert bloodshed...? The Kyuubi, for example was a mass of hatred until very recently,this was also the case with the 8 tails before it met Bee. I don't see any possibility of these Bijju's, who resented the jinchurikis and the people around them of quietly co operating till such time that they could be re-sealed into the new jinchuriki. This time frame would have cause problems to the villages, and its suggested that the Hidden Cloud might have faced such problems here:
What did Konoha have at their disposal to keep the 9 tails quiet, till it was sealed into Kushnina....?
How could they keep it under control during that time?
Here are 2 pages of the manga:
Tobi says only our eye techs are capable of controlling the 9 tails, and:
We're told that the Mangekyuo Sharingan is capable of controlling the kyuubi.
Also note, the Kyuubi recognized Minato as the 4th Hokage, even though it was first sealed inside Mito, then Kushina and finally Naruto. But we the reader know that in between Kushina and Naruto something happened to let the Kyuubi recognize people other than those into whom it was directly sealed. I know there was no major attack of Kurama before this, but its still possible it might have known others whilst it was being sealed into Kushina during Step 2. Hope this made sense.

Whenever a jinchuriki dies or approaches death, it becomes necessary to re-seal it into another host body, who then becomes the new jinchuriki. But what happens while this process is being performed? To elaborate, lets divide this process into steps:
Step 1: Tailed beast is extracted from the previous jinchuriki. Obviously, otherwise it can't get into a new host body
Step 2: Tailed beast is taken out of its former jinchuriki, in the open
Step 3: Tailed best is contained, then re-sealed into the new jinchuriki.
Step 2: Tailed beast is taken out of its former jinchuriki, in the open
Step 3: Tailed best is contained, then re-sealed into the new jinchuriki.
How do you perform Step 2, and avert bloodshed...? The Kyuubi, for example was a mass of hatred until very recently,this was also the case with the 8 tails before it met Bee.

There were many victims caused by the 8 tails rampage between successive sealing into new jinchurikis. Its hard to imagine the 9 tails being any different when out in the open or Konoha having any luck in restraining it without some special precaution. Just what was this precaution, that allowed the transition for the removal of the Kyuubi, out of Mito, and then into Kushnina?
What did Konoha have at their disposal to keep the 9 tails quiet, till it was sealed into Kushnina....?

Now, before the Kyuubi attack, the Uchiha were part and parcel of Konoha, and at least 2 of them were known to have been associated with Danzo(Kagami, Shisui) and very likely the anbu too. The Anbu was used when Kushina was giving birth to Naruto, so it won't be a stretch to say that they were also used prior to this in matters involving the 9 tails, like say in restraining the Kyuubi until it could be sealed into its new jinchuriki. And this might have been how the Kyuubi knew of Tobi, i.e you can't rule out other Tobi id's from the fact that Kurama knew the masked man alone.Because its possible an Uchiha from that time(take your pick, tho fyi genjutsu mastery would be needed
) was used to assist in Step 2 by putting the 9 tails under genjutsu to sedate it till it could be sealed into the new jinchuriki. Just saying.
Also note, the Kyuubi recognized Minato as the 4th Hokage, even though it was first sealed inside Mito, then Kushina and finally Naruto. But we the reader know that in between Kushina and Naruto something happened to let the Kyuubi recognize people other than those into whom it was directly sealed. I know there was no major attack of Kurama before this, but its still possible it might have known others whilst it was being sealed into Kushina during Step 2. Hope this made sense.
