    I guess so.....
    They've acknowledged that there's some doujutsu involved, but we still don't really know anything more about nagato or why these kids have become evil.

    Hey.....here's something fun: what if Tobi is Yahiko?

    Finally another doujutsu that will hopefully be strong enough to make the sharingan look like crap... Sharingan is overrated.

    A great chapter.

    wouldn't make sense with tobi being the leader and having sharingan. that has to point to sharingan being stronger as it has been the whole series lol.

    That doesnt mean that the new eyes have to be weaker than the sharingan. We're comparing Tobi (a multi-generational old ninja who started to Uchiha clan that fully utilizes sharingan to the maximum level as well as tons of jutus from the length of his lifespan) to Nagato (a deadly new bloodline eye user that is YOUNGER than Jiraiya and was taught under him)

    In the chapter, it is easy to see that Nagato did not know the strength of his eyes, so we can easily assume that he can't fully understand and utilize his eye as well as Madara/Tobi can.

    Thus, with the eyes or not, Tobi probably has pure power over Nagato so its flawed to measure power level of the eyes by comparing Tobi and Nagato.

    But dont get me wrong, I think Sharingan is extremely deadly, useful, and badass (yes, I am a sharingan fanboy) . I just think this new eye introduced is no joke either

    I was going with Jugo being Yahiko. They sorta resemble each other.

    somebody brought up the similarity between the one kid and juugo... i'm wondering if that will turn out to be true because it is a pretty striking resemblance.

    now, i want a scanlation ^^

    That'd be me, punk! *struts around, flaunting*

    But yeah... Scanlation would be good, hopefully it'll come out soon.

    I like this idea a lot actually. Everyone has noticed that Tobi, in the past, has displayed a tendency to be a bit obnoxious. Whether or not that was just a false personality, it seems to match up with Yahiko, who seems obnoxious to me as well. Also, it is quite possible that Pein and Tobi were speaking as equals, in which case neither was bossing the other around: they were just discussing strategies and tactics. We've never seen Tobi's face, and even though he hinted that he might be Madara, it hasn't yet been proven.

    Here's the last part of my idea: how did Tobi get the Sharingan, if he isn't an Uchiha? Maybe he simply recovered the body of a fallen Uchiha (do we know any?), and took the eye. Maybe he was jealous of Nagato's doujutsu, or maybe he needed it for another reason?

    I'm not saying it's likely, but isn't it at least possible?

    Oooooh, great chapter! I can't wait for the next one!

    Keeping up with his reasoning of becoming powerful to protect the whole country, maybe he did take the eye from a fallen Uchiha, having heard about the legacy of Uchiha Madara and the power he possessed. This would fit in with Tobi saying "The power of Uchiha Madara is mine!" without meaning that he is actually him. It would also fit in with trying to better Nagato's doujutsu if he was jealous and wanted to be the all-powerful saviour rather than being surpassed by someone he thought of as inferior.

    It's all grasping at straws though.
    I think I know precisely what I mean

    Thanks for responding! Yeah, I agree - it's thin, but I'm enjoying the fact that, even while Naruto seems to have been wrapping up all of its secrets, it still leaves a couple new ones here and there. This chapter is the first in a while on which I've seen so much speculation.

    I like this idea in principle. It has a lot of explanatory power. But if this is true, it makes it really obvious that Itachi is a member of Roots.

    Ohgawd, I half hope this theory isn't right, because then it'd give all the more reason to have Tobi be Obito... just with Madara's eyes.

    The theory of the Fourth Hokage being Naruto's father has already been proven, so I desperately hope Tobi being Obito doesn't turn out to be true as well.

    But hey, if Tobi is just plain Tobi with Madara's eye(s), I'd be fine with that.

    No, no. The theory in question is whether there is a possibility that Tobi is Yahiko, with an Uchiha eye.

    It just occured to me that simply because the Rin'egan is the most powerful of the three eye techniques doesn't make the user invincible. Afterall, Shodaime without any eye bloodline limit was able to defeat Madara, and Chiyo Ba from the Sand also talked about how you can fight someone with the Sharingan. It seems to me that Naruto may finally be heading towards a climactic battle which is more than just 'power levels' but may actually involve some strategy and plotting,

    That makes sense, which is good (no dbz-like naruto).

    But theoretically it should be obvious (hello, ninjas ).
    We did see Naruto owning Neji after all... and that was literally years ago
