Now I see what you mean. Indeed, this facial feature looks similar to Tobi's
I went to check other pictures of younger Madara to make sure your statement was right and I crossed over more of Uchiha men, finding out that many of them, including Itachi had these lines on their faces.

You can look for other pictures of Uchiha men if you like, im sure there will be other men with similar facial attributes.
Those are other Uchiha clan members. They do have the same feature, but that doesn't really matter because we were given, in chapter 510, an image of a younger Madara next to Hashirama Senju, and that picture of the younger Madara looks heavily like the current one we see now.
Yes, the younger and current Madara don't have the same number of creases beneath their eyes, because through time Madara aged, as each human being does. Yet the important thing to consider is that the shape of the creases on younger and current Madara are the same. If they were different, then we'd have some real debate going on.
Funny part is that Danzo too has these facial crease like lines

Come to think of it, Danzo is very similar to Tobi - age and appearance like.
Even their goals were similar - uniting the world under one man.

Here we can see that he has three lines underneath his right eye, not exactly the same as on Madara Uchiha.
Danzo is similar to Madara, but they are obviously not the same. I trust I don't need to explain that to you.
So, my point is that these facial lines don't have much to do with the real identity of Tobi. Tho, I have to admit, at one point it almost convinced me.
Not completly accurate. We have only seen his forehead and eyes, and portion of his nose. We still haven't seen his cheeks(atleast both of them), his chin, his mouth and his full nose.
That's quite alot don't you think?
You're right, at this point it is extremely unlikely that Tobi is anyone else but Madara Uchiha. All the facts are pointing to that and yet there's still something fishy about him.
But tell me, can you be most certain that Tobi is Madara Uchiha himself and no other man than him? Did you never had a single doubt?
Actually, the facial lines have a lot to with Tobi's identity. Since they are the same, as chapter 510 has shown us, the majority of us will say that yes, "Tobi is Madara." We haven't seen Madara's full face, this I can agree with, but as I've told you, will seeing his "cheeks, chin, mouth, and full nose" really make a difference as to who he is? Yes, I had my moments where I doubted whether Tobi was Madara or not, but as the evidence pointing in that direction grew, it was especially difficult to ignore it.
Like silenceofthelambs said, the picture clearly shows us the same facial features the young madara has, except for the wrinkles under his eyes.
I'd say its safe to asume he is Madara, and I will keep doing that until it is proven to be someone else.
The reason why he wears the mask is the thing I am most puzzled about.
Madara most likely wore the mask in the past to conceal his identity, even though he doesn't really need it now, since he's revealed himself to the Five Kage. But when the entire world thinks you are dead, and any sign of your existence will arouse paranoia and disgust in people, it's safe to say that wearing a mask is only prudent, along with changing your identity.
:flaw: Didn't you read what I said? Those facial features are common to Uchiha men, even Danzo had them and he's not Uchiha.
There were plenty of Uchiha and non-Uchiha who shared the same crease-like facial attributes as Madara, so that argument is not valid.
Besides, Tobi's lines are not the same as Madara's, he has three lines under his eye unlike Madara who has only one.
The features are common to Uchiha men, but I've already told you: we saw a drawing of a younger Madara in chapter 510, and all the facial attributes the younger had back then, the current Madara now possesses, with some additions due to the biological process of aging. That is why the current Madara has three lines underneath his eye, while the current only had one.
They are called wrinkles, it tends to happen when someone ages.
Tobi is Madara until proven otherwise, nothing so far has hinted at Madara not being Madara.
Even Itachi said he is Madara, and that his oculair powers are very much intact.
Even the Tsuchikage and Minato immediatly recognised him as Madara, even with the mask.
And yes, I read what you said, but did'nt value it to be a valid argument, the facial atributes do not slightly resemble Danzou, even the eyeshape resembles Madara's, only the wrinkles of old age are what differ from his look.
I completely agree with you. This post is the thread winner.
But one thing is majorly wrong with that theory and that is the fact that Madaras eyes were done with dude.. He went blind so how could have they switched.. UNLESS they switched before Madara went blind but that would throw the WHOLE timeline and events off.
