This infinite Tsukuyomi thing makes me think it leads to the new movie how things have changed, that seems to be the tie in. What if things were different? And everyone was trapped in a genjutsu.

I still don't understand why. Maybe Obito hates war that much. Think about it, he had only one Sharingan to begin with before implantation. I still don't understand the implantation though, not like h has all powers...

But it makes sense for him to masquerade as Madara to instill fear and question his strength.
There are two things to consider about Tobi's identity:

1. He wears a mask to hide his identity

2. He has a significant amount of knowledge about and influence

I think the Obito theory is absolutely ridicolous. Aside from a somewhat similar name where is the connection?

Are we really to believe that little snot-nosed Obito with his face crushed by a boulder and left for dead some how grew up to become a major player in the fate of the ninja world? And a villain at that. How would Obito know the history of Konoha, know Madara, gain so much power and manipulate some many powerful ninja?

Realistically if Obito some how survived the incident that presumably killed him at best he would be Kakashi's equal not a Ninja master mind approaching the power of a God.

I've been leaning towards him being Madara's brother but if so why hide his face from the current generation of Ninja?

Tobi's identity is unknown and he doesn't want to make a name for himself.

He is an ideologue obsessed with control who wants to bring about peace by taking away everyone's free will.

I think when everything is cleared up Tobi will probably be a character we can sympathize with.

But I don't think it's Obito. Obito was at peace with himself when he was dying.

Besides Obito was a major inspiration for Kakashi. Tobi has impacted so many lives and Naruto is the hero of this story so I think whoever Tobi is he is much more connected to the major events in the Ninja world than Obito who was just Kakashi's teammate when he was a child.
