My friend and i have come up with a theory on who Tobi really is. considering how many fans there are, many people have probably already come up with it. but, since some of you may not have heard this or come up with this here it is. Tobi is a zetsu clone of Madara. Let's look at the facts:
1. Tobi's arm has come off on more than one occasion and when it does it leaves behind a white substance, similar to what zetsu is made of. his arms eventually come back, for some unexplained reason, similar to zetsu's regeneration powers.
2. Even when everyone thought that Tobi was Madara, zetsu continued to call him Tobi, as though he knew for a fact that it wasn't Madara.
3. Kabuto knew that Tobi wasn't Madara and knew about the zetsus. that could be a coincidence, but also could not.
4. Madara confirmed that he had gotten Hashirama's cells in their battle, many years ago. Tobi now has these cells and has used them to create a mass amount of zetsus.
5. Tobi knows more about Madara than anyone else, so he most likely knows the real Madara. this is further confirmed by Madara who says that Tobi seems to have deviated from the plan. He also knew about Nagato.
6. zetsu can make a near perfect replica of whoever he touches.
7. zetsu has said that you can only trust yourself, yet he readily trusts Tobi.
The overal theory: Madara knew that his time was running short. so he fought Hashirama with the intent of taking his cells and mass-producing zetsus. then, he had one of them replicate himself and take his rinnegan, implanting it into Nagato and plan to use the rinnegan's revival ability to bring him back. that is why Tobi said that Nagato was supposed to use the ability for Tobi/Madara. Now, the only possible flaw i see in the theory is that Madara could have been revived long ago, if this were the case. however, it has been noted that Tobi had deviated from the plan and it is also possible that Tobi was waiting to revive Madara until after the Moon's Eye Plan had been finished. although, i believe the first reason, considering Madara and Kabuto make note that Tobi hasn't been following the plan.
