Who is tobi?

Tobi maybe one of these people but if it's not, then my mind will be blown..

Now that Madara Uchiha has been resurrected, the question of the identity of Tobi has risen once again.

The first logical candidate is Obito Uchiha, a member of Kakashi's former team. However, it is explained that boulders killed him during the Third Ninja war. As the source of Kakashi's left eye, Obito would probably not be the man behind the mask of Tobi as he never had any connection to wanting to destroy the ninja world. Some believe that Orochimaru originally discovered that Tobi was Obito because he was a body in which he could transfer Madaras mind into. Since Madara was old and possibly weak from his battle with the first Hokage, this might make sense. However, a body transferring jutsu needs a LIVE body, something that Obito is not. In addition, Obito was given a "sense of closure" in his role in the story as he explained that he had wished to spend more time with Kakashi and Rin. A second candidate is Izuna Uchiha. He was the brother of Madara Uchiha and the only member of the Uchiha clan who could match him. I do not believe it to be him as it is explained that Madara took his eyes and was eventually killed by this. Itachi did believe that Madara stole his eyes but this is besides the point. Izuna is somewhat of a minor character and is used for background of Madara. I do not think the creator would bring him back as the new "Madara." Another candidate is the sage of the six paths. After all, he is the original owner of the Rinnegan and would fit Tobi's conversation that he wanted to "claim what was rightfully his" from Nagato. However, it is explained after separating the tailed beasts that he was going to die. As Tobi tells it, the sage decided that the youngest brother was more fit to take his place rather than the younger brother. I think this adds to the reason why it wouldn't be the sage as he shouldn't be alive after he announced his successor. Probably the most obvious reason why it would not be him is that he would be extremely old.

I believe the most likely is a second Madara Uchiha. One of the main clues is Kisame. He is one of the only people who has seen Tobi without his mask. At both times, he explains that it is indeed Madara. Despite his body being resurrected by Kabuto, there is still a large connection between the two. After all, there are only a few who own the Sharingan. Madara is a logical candidate as the controller for the Rinnegan. He is a very intelligent individual and knows vast information about the Ninja World. He is the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails attack on the Leaf Village and had many reasons why he wished to do so. This all relates to Madara (and his intentions). Although I can not explain the reason how there would be two Madaras, we are left with some clues from the revived Madara. It is explained that he knows Nagato, something that he shouldn't know unless he was alive just a short time ago. It is inferred that he believed that he was resurrected by Nagato's Heavenly Life Technique. This means that there must be a connection between Tobi and this new Madara. Finally, Tobi explains that his goal is to "have a complete body." Although this means that the other part he wants to add is the Ten-Tailed Beast, the author might be including an alter meaning that there are two of him.
