I always held dear the theory that Obito is Tobi. And it wasn't a goddamn wildcard as many of you in here are accusing. Kishi was thinking about doing this plot line from a very long time ago.
This is why Kakashi is the only character that has a "gaiden".
This is why Tobi was introduced fairly early in the manga (before Hidan, Kakuzu, Nagato and Konan).
This is why Kakashi got his own version of MS in part 2.
This is why Tobi didn't reveal his face after calling himself Madara, or why his name is pretty similar to Obito, or why he's using an ability similar to Kamui (which again, was revealed pretty early in the plot).
If anything, you should be mad because Kishimoto introduced Madara in all of this, as an actual catalyst for many events (forming Akatsuki, releasing Kyuubi on Konoha, helping Itachi). But not because Tobi is Obito, that was foreshadowed just like Itachi being good was foreshadowed.
I feel inclined to refer to one of my older threads (this one: http://mangahelpers.com/forum/showt...-everyone-Masashi-Kishimoto-is-not-Dostoevsky). Again, Kishimoto is not going for the Nobel prize in literature ... he's not even creating something that would count as an intellectual
manga. He's creating a shounen action piece for teenagers and young adults with just a little bit of complexity thrown in.
And for that level, I think that he is doing just fine, more than that even. He covered Edo Tensei (which was a big and underused plot device, like the Time Turner in Harry Potter), he introduced several new and interesting characters over the war (though to be honest, it was kinda rushed) and he has some consistency in story. Madara seems to know Obito and they probably worked together (which will explain some of the plot holes you all people complain about) .
Is anyone else annoyed as me on how undermined Naruto is by its fans? The threads used to be fun and people used to be excited about what happens next.
Like the song says, don't worry and be happy
