Why Nothing Tobi Says Can be Trusted

[SilverSlick]

I seriously don't think Tobi gives a shit about anyone, all he cares about is the plan. Of course he's going to lie.

I think hell tell the truth to naruto and co, because he thinks hes gunna kill them he doesnt need to lie. Everything else is BS

 

[OnPoint]

Because he had a reason to lie in those situations obviously. That doesn't mean everything he says is a lie.

Exactly. Let's say Tobi is the elder son of Sage, if he said that, the 5 kage wouldn't believe him - Because they don't know if Sage really existed, that's why Tobi said he was Madara; Simple so he could start this war.

He's done it 2-3 times.
Itachi has done it the entire series and people still believe what he says.
I believe that Tobi tells half-lies so until we know exactly which part he didnt expand on or changed a bit, you can't really judge.

Precisely. 2-3 times more than the average character then.

Oh of course, of course. That's what I said, I'll take it with a grain of salt. If new facts come up, I'll consider them and form my own theories. Still, you can't ignore the fact that he has a lot to gain by lying, which makes him a far more dubious character than most.

I thought Tobi's reasons for war that he gave at the gokage summit were a bit suspect: oh you know, it's fun, it's part of my plan... to start a war... to bring peace
All empty reasons

 

[~MC117~]

I agree.

 

[Prime Rib]
