Re: Tobi could still be Madara with proof
Great theory there are few holes,like if tobi is madara and if it means madara was immortal then how was he revived with impure world resurrection,as it requires the soul to be in the pure world and the person must be dead in order to be revived.For example that's why Hidan couldn't be revived according to kakuzu.
Here is one of my theories that i think explains the identity of tobi:
Well the manga clearly states these facts upfront:
1)Nagato awakened his rinnegan first when his parents died.
2)Madara was not in possesion of rinnegan when he battled Hashi.
3)Rinnegan has the power to bring back the dead.
4)Tobi "claims" to have given the rinnegan to nagato.
5)madara obtained senju dna during his battle with hashi,it is evident from one of kabuto's statements idk from which chapter.(considering senju DNa a requirement for rinnegan)
Based on these facts I would like to propose a hypothesis on the matters at hand,namely rinnegans evolution ,nagato and madara's possesion of it and the identity of tobi.
It is clearly stated in the manga that madara had awakened his rinnegan shortly before his death.
So what I think happened is that when he awakened his rinnegan he had already planned on putting the eye of moon plan in motion,as shown fro his knowledge about the plan.
Thus foreseeing his death,maybe due to his injuries from his battle with hashi, he as a last deperate measure used "Samsara of heavenly life" to bring back to life someone who was loyal to him to bring him back to life after his death.
And I hypothise that this is the person who we know as tobi.Now according to this the most appropriate candidate would be Izuna,who had already died,assumption,to entrust his rinnegan.
But Izuna could not carry the rinnegan as he didn't have the senju DNA like so he implanted into Nagato's eyes,who as an uzumaki had the required quality.
This also explains the fighting prowess of tobi as izuna was said to be equal to his brother.
This also explains why he holds a grudge against Uchiha for having betrayed his brother whom he was loyal towards.It also explains how he states that Izuna had willingly given his eyes to madara,because well he was him.
It also explains why he was afraid when kabuto had shown him madara's body using edo tensei.
So net result :
1)Tobi is none other than Izuna.
2)It was tobi who had given nagato his rinnegan.
3)Senju DNA was required to activate rinnegan(1 more hypothises because since rinnegan was so6p's eyes it can be assumed it required both his life force as well as his physical energy to activate it.hence both the brothers attributes were required,hence the above hypothesis)
Sorry, that the post is highly disordered it is because I'm new to the base and don't know how to edit with photos and other facts.
