Anyone think there is a possibility that Obito deliberately threw his fight with Kakashi in order to create the current situation?

as naruto pointed out, it was obitos plan all along to become the jinchuriki...
that said, yes he deliberately threw the fight against kakashi, but i personally am unsure why...

(hopefully not the scenario where itachi keeps sasuke alive in order to die by his hands)

Shikamaru and his over 200 I.Q. say hello. How many times has Kishi fanboyed his over the top genius? Hell, Shikaku was more of a super genius than Minato. He just lacked his drive and talent. But his intelligence was without measure.

And it is not so much that Obito is a genius. It is that he is incredibly obsessed and determined. That can make up for a lot.

Anyway, I truly expect Obito to now try and teach Naruto Uchiha emo suffering by killing the things he loves. He still wants to prove a point. Expect Naruto's buddies to be targets.

well this goes back to the meaning of genius in naruto. put itachi and minato against an unknown super powerful opponent and they can probably come up with something on the fly. put shikamaru in that same situation and he's dead whether he figured out the opponent or not, he couldn't do anything about it to win by himself. yes, him and shukaku are the most intelligent characters sure. but in naruto, being a genius means more than that. it means scope of techniques, ability to learn and adapt and of course intelligence as well. all debatable sure, but as far as this discussion has gone, it's been about more than an iq test

Obito's identity didn't matter to anyone but the fans guessing who he was.Madara or not he was still a threat before he told anyone that.Do you think he would have been ignored or not taking seriously if he had not said he was Madara?Maybe they wouldn't have formed an alliance "it's ok guys it's not madara,go home".I'm not disputing Obito's insane genius,i just don't think his playing Madara is the best example of it.
What about Orochimaru is he at Willie Coyote super genius status?

[Pentium]

Here is a question. Back some time ago Kisame saw Obito remove his mask and Kisame acknowledged him as Madara? WTF?

That's one example of Madara's identity having some weight,at least toward an individual.After Nagato died Tobbi took on leadership,Kisame not knowing anything was like who are you to be leader.Apparently Obito was playing Madara for sometime and revealed himself to kisame years earlier.Kisame not knowing either Madara or Obito from dirt was convinced.

[Pentium]

But Obito doesn't look like Madara or was Kisame convinced it was Madara because Obito showed off his Sharingan?

[HasuMasu]

It's either the presence of the Sharingan itself or a Genjutsu.

he was. he was 'madara' back when he first recruited kisame into akatsuki. but that said, kisame should know 'madara from dirt' there's a giant statue of him at the VotE and it looks nothing like obito. therefore, i can only assume it's a genjutsu obito used to convince kisame he was madara in the first place

[Monster0]

You know those Uchia all look alike.With his messed up face he could have said he was Kisame's mother.Anyways if Kisame is as smart as you he would realize that an aged Madara wouldn't look like the statue no more.But seriously,i do believe he used genjutsu i just didn't say so cause i figured you guys could put two and two together.Oh wait this is the forum where that person went insane cause i didn't want to explain something,sorry then.

So either Tobi kept using that on Kisame or it doesn't make sense. Kisame was told by this "madara" guy that he will save him from this world of lies and deception, and then suddenly he learns that it's probably not Madara because he looks completely different. Which would mean he was deceived by the masked guy. Of course if Tobi kept his genjutsu on Kisame then he would have to look like Madara to kisame while he is playing the idiot Tobi, which is not possible because Kisame would know that others should recognize Madara. Kisame was also paired with the master of genjutsu (in fact he knew what was going on with Deidara when he was trapped into Itachi's genjutsu, he also knew of tsukiyomi and it's effects which is kinda odd since that's something very rare and secret), it would not make much sense that he is fooled by some lower level genjutsu all the time.

I thought he removed his mask and Kisame acknowledged him as the third Mizukage, not Madara?

why is it so far-fetched that he used it twice? when he recruited him and when he revealed his face to him. the other times he was in kisame's presence and/or with other ninjas around, he had his mask on. kisame wasn't an idiot, but i assume he wasn't very good against genjutsu. he treated itachi like his superior and pretty much just did whatever itachi wanted. my only thought about that is that it's because he knew itachi would beat him easily with genjutsu if he ever wanted

he addressed him as both iirc. when the conversation ended, kisame called him madara-san

I was answering a question,sorry.You're right a simple point can be made simply,so if the way i say things has too much pazazz for you i apologise again.I just said Kisame was convinced earlier in the story, and i did not elaborate on how.And even though Tobi may have used a genjitsu on Kisame it's more speculative than to think Kisame wouldn't recognise Madara at that time walking down the street.

the ultimate surprise would be for obito to beat madara without madara getting a chance to fight hashirama but that's... not gonna happen haha

[Bijuu Kurama]

How does Obito dying = him becoming the Jinchuriki host? What am I missing? Can someone explain the process.

Welcome!
Obito wasnt dying per se....as you saw, he spirited kakashi away to the other dimension for reasons that may or may not be revealed later, to allow kakashi to slap him around a bit. then he left said dimension to go and become the jinchuriki. what you are likely confusing as him dying is edo madara attempting to control his body and perform the Rinne tensei which would sacrifice obitos life in exchange for bringing madara back to this plane. however, obito overpowered madaras chakra with his own "RIN" a tensei (huh huh huh lol. i make bad jokes ) and proceeded with becoming the jinchiriki which was his plan all along as stated by naruto...

And Greetings to you! I'm confused about HOW Obito is becoming the Jinchiriki. Is that him (Obito) running towards the 10-tails at the end? I thought it looked like that old sage frog guy.

I love a good pun, only bad rapping is more fun. Fool, ya Fool.
