The Best Tobi Theories That Never Happened (Evil Naruto Timeline)

There were several Tobi theories back in the day regarding his identity. Of course Tobi turned out to be Obito Uchiha, but many people had different ideas before Tobi's unmasking in Naruto Shippuden. Some people thought Tobi was Shisui, others thought Tobi was Izuna.
The craziest Tobi theory was that Tobi was Sasuke from the future. He came back to the past frmo a timeline where Naruto became eveil and he has to fix things. Let's take a look at the best Tobi theories from back in the day and determine if they would have been interesting if implemented in the Naruto story.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Shisui was also nicknamed the teleporter but before we actually saw what that looked like, the only teleporter we'd seen onscreen was Tobi which likely gave further credence to the theory.

[@extremelegendsupreme4596]

Biggest problem with shisui was his age, shisui was only like 6-7 years old during the nine tails attacks, meaning it would be impossible for tobi to be shisui.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

@@extremelegendsupreme4596 Not necessarily. It all depends on how the author writes it, like for example The Masked Man that fought Minato could've been an aged up Madara using a Zetsu body, but later passes the mantle and identity onto a younger successor, but in this case it's Shisui rather than Obito for whatever reason. No one said that it HAD to be the same Masked Man in all of their appearances. Comic book writers pull that stunt a lot.

I actually had a friend who had no idea who Tobi was, I introduced Naruto to him and I got the PLEASURE to watch his reaction to Obito's reveal and Madara's presentation first hand

I got my cousin into watching the anime but I think halfway through shippuden I think he found out one way or another even tho I told him to not look up anything Naruto related lol

[@SlimeGreenBeam]

I’m doing the same with my friend. I tried so hard not to spoil anything. While watching an ep with Tobi, He asked, what’s that guys name with the mask again? I said Obito? My heart dropped. I fucked up. He said no not the kid! I said oh yeah Tobi, sorry their sames are similar. LMFAOOO so far he hasn’t mentioned them being the same person. We’re on the episode where Naruto goes to talk to Nagato (the real pain) .

Tobi just had one eye in the mask. Obito had one eye after Kakashi took one of his eyes. Coincidence? *I DON'T THINK SO!*

[@TheChiog]

My favorite theory is that Tobi is Taiyuchi, the ramen guy. Obviously complete nonsense, even back then, but it's funny to think about and there are actually some things in favor of this theory: -He was the first person to be nice to Naruto, even before Iruka (which is kinda strange considering that the ENTIRE village shunned the kid). He made sure that Naruto would see him often and trust him. -We never see his eyes, they are always closed (or, well, not REALLY closed, but he always squints so they appear closed. Important is that we never see the iris) -In the Uchiha clan photo there is a guy left to Mikoto who looks a lot like him (also squinting) -In a flashback where we see 12-year-old Minato with his sensei Jiraiya, we also see his two teammates; one of which looks - again - a lot like a child Taiyuchi (and is, again, squinting)

[@noahblevins9569]

Tobi is just a stand-in for the real masked man. Kara was created to distract the ninja while the plan gets reworked.

[@uruacufutsal1]

Coincidence? I THINK NOT

[@DavidMartinez-ce3lp]

That would've been insane lol

[@Starkiller156]

2 things 1. Sasuke stopping Naruto from being hokage could be an interesting premise without it betraying naruto's character. I see it like Naruto could be an dictator of sorts but it's an reverse of what you might think. He enforces a peace policy to a tee that an power imbalance between Naruto and the village and it's what cause naruto's downfall as a hokage. Which is why Sasuke tries incredibly hard here to stop Naruto in the past from reaching that goal. 2. The only theory here i heard before the reveal was izuna being Tobi which captivated me considering beforehand I never heard izuna in anything and never knew what his backstory was until way later.

[@teflonjuan5219]

It would’ve been cool if in the future Sasuke killed Naruto but encountered the Otsusuki’s by himself and they ravaged the world, stole Sasuke’s eye and sent him back in time somehow similarly to how Sasuke and Boruto got sent back in time in that filler episode. Then Sasuke took on the Tobi persona to gather the tailed beasts and the Infinite Tsukuyomi was actually needed to get him back to the future to get his left eye back and to get revenge.

Well, in the end Naruto didn't really change the system that's responsible for most problems in the story so the future Sasuke theory wouldn't be so farfetched.

[@extremelegendsupreme4596]

I think the future sasuke theory came from naruto storm generations when madara literally reversed time and people probably assumed that sasuke somehow got that ability, generations came out months before the obito reveal so it makes sense.

[@gooseCS2]

Bro the sasuke theory was actually the most crazy ones, i would love to watch that shit unfolds fr and see Sasuke winning and fixes Naruto turns evil story

[@ones9308]

We need a timeline, where after witnessing Boruto events unfolding, Sasuke goes back in time, slays Tobi and takes his identity to guide the shinobi history for centuries to come.

[@Videospiel-Man5730]

Yeah sasuke hates being a tree!

[@kyotaiken]

I always wanted Tobi to be Izuna, and he would have been acting against Madaras secret real plans, and eventually Madara would come back and have to deal with the mental trauma, as well as a direct foil for his long and well laid out plans, which would have had to necessitate them to be different than the eye of the moon plan, since that would be Izunas answer to whatever Madara would have wanted.

[@FirstLast-cb7sv]

I wanted he is Danzo all along.

[@Nphynite]

w want bro

[@ShadowFiend777]

Izuna being Tobi would've been possible. He had the MS like Madara and was about as powerful, not to mention I see no reason he wouldn't have access to Izanagi. He would of course know the history of Madara and Hashirama and the alias "Tobi" makes just as much sense here as it goes with Obito, since Tobirama was his rival. Izuna's long lifespan could easily be attributed to either the gedo statue or Zestu, with Pain being used to bring Madara back alongside him. Dreams of a far future indeed!

a somewhat common but not super common theory used to be that Kagami Uchiha is Tobi and that he he went missing in war and was thought to be dead but wasn't actually dead and ended up becoming Tobi and form the Akatsuki and so on was obviously not gonna be the case because even if it wasn't unrealistic it would've been probably the most boring and random outcome ever

I mean. We can change the whole "Naruto becomes evil" to "Somebody takes advantage of Naruto's naïveness and takes over the most powerful Kage in the world, crumbling the new ninja society." Somebody like one of the martians, because of course Kishi wants them FOREVER.

[@friendlykoala]

The problem with the face reveal gimmick is that it pretty much requires to surprise the surrounding characters as well as the readers to work, otherwise there would be no point for a character hiding their face. At the moment Kakashi started to face Tobi, any unmasking sequence made his identity obvious. But if Tobi were anybody else the story would probably not have let Kakashi's team unmask Tobi, and have someone more relevant involved. So I don't think the Shisui option would have been rubbish, could have just found a way to make Edo-Itachi face him for example. Let's say Shisui's plan was to cast a more powerful Kotoamatsukami on the whole world to stop wars, sounds believable. Also, Tobi didn't even have to be specifically an Uchiha, could have gotten a Sharingan like Kakashi or Danzo. Could have even been some artificial humanoid creature like the Zetsus, that's what some people assumed after seeing his injuried arms turn into goo.

Hey dygo apart from your onimask revelation in rewrite please do make other mysterious revelations too. It would be really cool.

[@kuba4ful]

19:28 If you want to read a very good story (manhwa/webtoon) that has time travel introduced late on that is VERY well thought out, I recommend Kubera. Unlike for one-off plot twist (like in AoT), here time travel is just one plot point and doesn't even appear till few hundred chapters later, yet is executed perfectly. The hints are there, and there are a lot of them, but Kubera does a very good job with making hints and foreshadowing seem like normal dialogue. (For example, when one of a more minor characters is introduced, she says "oh, i remember him, he's a very good fighter" to the character that travels to the past later (won't spoil who that is), and he thinks "wtf i don't remember her, but it would be rude to say that". Well, he didn't remember, because much, MUCH later when we see this character's journey to the past, he meets her in the past and they fight a battle together. She doesn't know he is from the future of course. Also, another one that I love. There is a character that has been missing for quite some time. When one of our MCs asks a god about that character, the god replies "don't search, you will meet her once the time is right". Well, turns out we were supposed to take it literally, cause that character disappeared because the time traveller from before took her to his future from the past, making her disappear for quite some time lmao.)

[@jpcsdutra]

Personally, I've always thought it was Obito, because just like the reveal that Yondaime was Naruto's dad, it was really obvious from the get go; and I think it works well as a villain because Obito is kind of a foil to Naruto, an underdog with a very similar life experience of underestimation, failure, being overshadowed by a team mate, love triangle bs, etc. However, I think there's an universe out there where the reveal is Izuna and the war arc happens completely differently. Izuna is a great foil for Sasuke the same way Obito is for Naruto. He watches his brother being historically villifyied if he doesn't die, he'd be the one other survivor of the massacre with severe brotherly issues, and his plan could boil down to "Okay, it's either an Uchiha's Konoha now, or vengeance" and when he fails, he revives Madara proper. Sasuke fresh out of his trauma of learning the truth having to face an enemy that could be his equal in a lot of his motivations would be huge. Orochimaru, Danzo and Itachi gave him trouble, but they don't really challenge his morality or world views at the point they happen. The run to get stronger for vengeance only to have their vengeance be in vain because Madara and Itachi are fundamentally different characters having different goals could have been such a huge development.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I've played the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games ever since I was a kid, with my older brother. So I've kinda known everything although I'm watching the anime for the first time now, to really learn stuff especially since the games skip a lot or go fast. (Currently on the Chiyo/Sasori stuff) Tobi was always my favorite as a kid because he reminded me so much of Deadpool and had very similar characteristics and even a similar type of voice. But I learned he wasn't in the span of only 20 to 30 minutes or so because of the games so I never had that. I wish he would have been a separate, goofy character, and just remained Deadpool like! Knowing he's serious does kinda ruin it for me because I like the original Tobi's personality a lot.

I still remember those theory's that pain the leader of the Akatsuki was actually minato which when you think about it would hit so god damn hard imagen Nagato being so pissed at the leaf for all it's done to him (Jiraiya sensei aside) they killed his family and best friend so for an act of vengeance (and world peace) Nagato would get a hold of minato's corpes and use his chakra rods to control his body attacking the leaf as the leader pain

[@celdur4635]

[@lowpointfair4653]

another what if scenario would be future naruto or an alt naruto being tobi. he either had to do some very questionable decision as a hokage that he ends up regretting or he is backstabbed by someone close and ends up going back in time to get revenge on them. an alternative naruto could have ended up being hokage but on very different circumstances ie hes still hated by people and despite doing his best he ends up being kicked out the village due to people fearing him, he wanders aimlessly until he finds a way to set things straight. atleast thats what i can think of at the top of my head.

[@AK-sm6tv]

I like that sasuke theory honestly. An OP naruto ruling the ninja world providing “peace” through dominance would be interesting

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

I was of the mind of Obito hosting Madara in some form or fashion because the Masked Man's monicker was the Ghost of the Uchiha, his powers made him feel like a glitch in the world, like he doesn't belong, and a dead leagend inhabiting a younger, but broken body, meddling in the affairs of the present would fit so well. Especially scenes where the Masked Man posed as Madara, reminiscing about Hashirama, or on top of the Madara statue, his connection to Sasuke and grooming him to gain greater powers could've been because he saw a lot of Izuna in him, but couldn't save Izuna. Especially with how it was being revealed. Obito never acts like the Masked Man, if the Reanimation literally ripped Madara's soul from his body and transplanted it into the Reanimated body. Then the nhilistic Obito, who wanted to live a passive life because he considered the world Hell, would suddenly be thrusted back into the driver seat. This would explain why his fighting style and personality was so different from before because Obito is a distinctive individual from Madara. Also why Madara would be playing around so much after being reanimated because if you spent the last several decades cunniving and scheming in borken bodies, a shell of your former self, then suddenly are thrusted back into your prime. Anyone might be understandly get carried away. Also the Yamanaka Mind Transfer jutsus would make the process so easy, but defintely a forbidden practice.

[@prometheusmodelow8322]

This theory actually still stands, some people calle it the "Tobidara" theory. Personally i just see it as Obito roleplaying as Madara lol.

[@supremelore_1533]

Naruto didn't have to be evil for the Time travelling one. All Naruto needed to do is fail to stop war just like Hashirama. Sasuke could have had his own end of the valley fight but in his timeline the eye of the moon plan never happened. Maybe Naruto died and he needed Ashura's chakra or something, or too many biju died in a future war.... This theory fell apart from me when Sasuke's 2nd ability was some sort of short-term time travel (think 5 seconds) but instead it was just kagetsuchi. The theory had potential, very personal stakes and, so long as biju level chakra is needed for Sasuke to ever time travel over years again, Logic.

[@themacewens]

I remember being being in a forum talking about who Tobi was back in the day and one guy said it cant be Obito, thats too obvious.

[@PyrelordPazuzu]

Tobi being Madara made more sense than people think. Remember Kurama's ability to read chakra signatures? The ability Naruto used to know who the Zetsu mixed with the ninja alliance were? When Kurama was summoned by Tobi, he looked at him and went "You!", as if he knew Tobi from somewhere, and the only person that summoned him prior was Madara himself. Mask or not, Kurama should have known who that was by his chakra signature, and combined with the fact that he had already summoned him, Kurama confusing Tobi to be Madara is just flawed writing.

[@machr01]

maybe kurama was just pointing out that its an uchiha, not a specific one? but yes its rather a flaw xD

[@justinarzola4584]

Kurama himself is very old so he might of assumed Madara was immortal too or something and didn't notice a difference between Sharingan's.

[@TheOneWhoSouls1405]

Kurama can't see chakra signatures. He can feel if they have the intent to kill. That's how naruto found out who the zetsus were. It isn't "flawed writing". Kurama can't tell who someone is just by seeing their chakra, because he literally can't see their chakra.

[@jonathanguaxinim-raccoon9321]

I also used to think that Tobi was Izuna due to Tobi telling Sasuke that, like him, he too was a survivor, and also because of Itachi's Genjutsu Flashback showing Sasuke, Madara taking out his eye.

[@rmichaud47]

Naruto becoming evil doesn't sound that crazy considering Obito had the same Naruto mentality as a child yet did many evil acts. I remembering thinking it was too obvious just to be Obito. It too thought it was Obito's body being controlled. I felt there should have been some sort of bigger twist. I also thought Rin might have been a spy in the short period of when we see Kakashi kill her, and the point where it was revealed she threw herself onto his chidori to stop the three tails rampage.

When he said he was Madara the people still were like: "No, you are Obito." and when the big "plot twist came" many were laughing cause it was so obvious^^

I just rearranged the letters and assumed he was Obito given Kakashi and him had a similar sharingan ability. それはそう

I wish you included some of the 2008 KZbin videos. The ones with “paralyzed” playing in the background, blue screen and white text that said “HERE WHYS I THINK TOBI IS THE FoUR HOKAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” And then proceed to horrible pixilated fan art

[@more-a-zel5205]

I never even guess who tobi is. I already got spoilers

[@Particle9a4]

The second one is basically Kenjaku in JJK lol. Maybe it was inspired by that theory?

[@DygoKnight]

???? jjk didn't exist

[@opposedscroll7596]

The JJK Manga didn't come out until 2018 iirc. That's like a whole decade after Tobi showed up in the Naruto Manga.

[@Particle9a4]

I mean the opposite, the theory inspires JJK@@DygoKnight

[@Particle9a4]

I know it didn't exist, I mean the opposite, the theory inspires JJK (I also read naruto during it’s run) @@opposedscroll7596

The only good use of time travel in anime is in dragon ball Z . Trunks returning to past telling the cast about the upcoming villains.

[@DogOfWar64]

Best theory is that Tobi was the ramen shop guy all along.

[@SpotsMultiverse]

i used to thing tobi was like naruto and everytime they faught he just made a clone of himself that was strong

[@LucasCosta-io8vr]

Remember when we theorised Minato was the leader of the Akatsuki?

[@digo1998]

First and foremost, the blame is not on the creator of a jutsu but on the one that uses it for evil purposes.

[@mldnne4725]

Naruto turning evil would not be a clear and quick evil turn. It could have been explained by the scenario but unclear to Naruto himself : have the post 4th shinobi war peace era crumbled earlier than Boruto, 5th shinobi war, to protect the village, his friends, or even a just born Boruto, Naruto is forced to uses his power to wage war against the whole world, killing thousands and slowly turning evil without being conscious of it. Sasuke by that time is working for Konoha but he is not fully in the village under Naruto influence. With an exterior point of view he understand that Naruto became what he wished to eradicated. And then he goes to the past to stop that from happening. But yes it would have been weird to implement it. It could be super cool to do like a parallel universe (because we kind of know those exist thanks to the okotsuki), and explore an evil Naruto in that universe, but no more than that.

[@zacharykirkendoll3206]

Where is the Boruto review?!?!? I neeeeeeeddd it!!!!

[@BensonCope]

Madara possessing obito was always what I wanted

[@Skankhunt-hl9zj]

I knew way before that tobi was obito I had a feeling since his one eye was always covered it had to be kakashis friend that “died” since it was the opposite eye then I saw his hair and the flashback for obito and I knew it was him forsure
