Why was tobi lying

[Hozuki]

When he said Madara . He was lying ? WHy

Is madara his rolemodel?

 

[HashiramaDescendant]

Weak, weak, and more weak.

 

[gordo1]

To get the attention of the 5 nations.

 

[yetanotheruser]

Nobody would take him serious if he wasn't Madara.
Everybody feared Madara.

 

[EnvyMyApex]

It's the only way he would be able to trigger such a big war.

 

[ShishaMastah420]

They either have the same ideals or he(Tobi) was Madara's apprentice.

Also note that Uchiha Madara's name is powerful by itself.

 

[mas129]

The power in the name

 

[Shadowkiller56]

Because everyone would tremble in fear from the name "Madara". No one would really fear some random masked guy called "Tobi"; someone who nobody has ever heard of.

 

[IzunaUchiha2]

Lol the name its all in the name

 

[abhiraj]

Coz everyone was afraid of Madara.
Would anyone believe it if sakura waged war against the 5 nations??
Madara's name itself struck fear in many hearts
