Re: who is tobi
Well no one really knew Nagato, and you're right, Bee must know Shisui because of the 3rd great ninja war. Itachi was 4 years old then so he wasn't that known. Shisui was probably teenager, but still it's 3rd ninja war not 2nd. Jiraiya was teen during 2nd war, Shisui was teenager and Kakashi was 14 years during 3rd war. Jiraiya is 30 years older than Kakashi and now I'm confused myself, but there's a huge time gap between those wars.
Yeah lol Tobi's Id can be confusing and just to clarify i'm still open to all options except Fugaku, Izuna and Madara clone/copy(i can prove why they are impossible).
And i need to study the time line myself from the manga which i have'nt done in much detail but i don't think its that important or kishi attaches that much weight to it honestly. For example, did you know that the Hanzo vs Sannin fight was called the 3rd ninja war in the anime??
Also, if Bee recognized him and called him 'the strongest genjutsu user of the Uchiha', it means Shisui already had that title whenever Bee met/saw him. Meaning his age would had to have been a fair bit by then.
Shisui was really legendary.
This is not who is right and wrong. I have nothing against you ... but there are few big flaws:
-Young Shisui fought Minato and controlled Kurama to destroy Konoha ?
-Years later, Shisui sacrifices himself for Konoha and give his eye to Itachi so it will not fall into wrong hands.
Shisui was clearly a good guy, why would he give out his eyes only to want them back years later ?
Also Danzo knew Shisui, he thought the man in the mask is Madara.
Not to mention Itachi would recognize his best friend ... also Itachi said Naruto is like Shisui (same ideals and good guys) ... not to mention Itachi has awakened MS with Shisui's death ...
So there you are
- I already gave reasons why Shisui was'nt young, like already having the title of 'the strongest genjutsu user of the Uchiha' at the time of the 3rd Ninja World War, which happened before the Kyuubi incident.
- I have a theory for that. Think about it. Tobi managed to get past Konoha's top secret barrier without setting it off, what would make more sense than an elite Anbu member who had a history with Danzo, who would know the codes/passwords?
And about his eyes, it was the perfect feint to allay suspicion of Tobi when he would decide to make himself public years later. There are many other reasons i have, don't really have the time to go into all that now. But basically Shisui was the greatest genjutsu/illusion user, him fooling Itachi and Danzo would have been easy.
I was hoping you'd bring all that stuff up.
Tobi knew Danzo as well:

'Long time no see Danzo, since the Uchiha incident'.
Also, Itachi admitted Shisui never died in front of him:
You must be registered for see links
'The last time i saw him, Danzo had already taken one eye'.
Danzo did not take it by force. Heck, Danzo could'nt even take out a punk kid like Sasuke who was a noob and a MS spammer even though he had Izanagi, you think he could take out the strongest genjutsu user of the Uchiha all on his own??
There are many more reasons i can give as my evidence. NOTE: I have'nt even mentioned some of the strongest points as to why Shisui might be Tobi yet.
