Theory on Obito timeline.

[ShadowAnimal11]

So everyone is freaking about about Obito being Tobi. Saying things like how could he be Tobi when he was only a kid when Tobi attacked the Leaf and other things. Well I had an thought.

Has anyone seen the movie Princess Bride? No? You should. Good film. The point is that in this movie there is a character called the Dread Pirate Roberts. Now the Dread Pirate has been doing all these evil things for a very long time but that;s not the whole story.

What really happens is that the original Dread Pirate does his set of evil things then he finds someone to take his place as the Dread Pirate. So all in all there are like four or five Dread Pirate Roberts who everyone thinks is one person.

What if this is the same kind of deal with Tobi? Say that there was an orignal Tobi who did his stuff and then he found someone to continue after himself and so on and so forth until we have Obito. That would explain most of the issues.

It does not explain how exactly it got to Obito and a few other things but it's an idea.

Or perhaps Obito is just impersonating the original Tobi. He didn't have a problem impersonating Madara.

Tobi is high on Senju DNA aswell so that might explain why he grew up if it indeed was Obito from the start...

so 2 tobis?

Possibly. Or however many Tobi's there have been before Obito. Just an idea but it sounds pretty good to me.

i agree there can be multiple people playing tobi, maybe thats really the origin of akatsuki.

I hear what your saying but that doesnt explain why they have the same jutsus and techniques

Perhaps it something that can be taught? I don't know. Like I said my theory doesn't explain everything. I leave the rest in Kishi's hands.

 

[I Am The Fourth Hokage]

Im thinking there are 2 different Tobis. One with long hair and one without. I think the Tobi that fought Minato was NOT Obito. IDK who it would be though.
