Zetsu and Madara ... *THEORY*

[uhIpooped]

I was reading a chapter today where Tobi was fighting Fu and Torune.. Tobi's arm got infected transporting them and he was forced to rip it off.
As I was looking at the picture I noticed all of the insides of the arm were white.
Top right picture :Naruto 475 page 11 | One Manga
I'm starting to think that Tobi is a Zetsu Substitute clone Substitute Technique - Narutopedia, the Naruto Wiki and it would make sense.
Theory:
Madara knew Zetsu way back when, Zetsu followed Madara ... Zetsu was watching the battle between Madara and the 1st (recording like he does now).
After Madara fell and the 1st had left Zetsu approached Madara as he lay dying.
Madara told Z that he was dying.. and I believe it was then that Z created this clone we call Tobi, a perfect copy of Madara, yet also a Shell of his former self.. As Z's substitute clone jutsu even copys the persons chakara. That way if sensor types looked and knew Madara's chakara it would show that it was really him. Perhaps this is how he was able to fool Itachi, and even the village elders etc ....
Zetsu being the Main villan May be interesting but I dont believe it to be him. He is more or less carrying out a dying wish (?) or plan ..
Support for this may be found through Kisame and Bee's battle.. where it proved to be a Zetsu clone.
Let me know what you all think the PLAUSIBILITY is...

Madara was also standing infront of a zetsu like plant when he got his arm back

OOOhhhh... And maybe when Kabuto showed that coffin to Tobi(Z clone) he freaked out because he(Zetsu) had devoured Madara's body, and was wondering how he was able to bring it back...

[Xentinel]

WOW...ur theory make sense
I nvr tot of that before and yeah...when the first dub of tobi(madara) in the anime. He is wif Zetsu that when tobi wanted to search for Sasori's ring. Hmmm..

[Astral]

Great theory bro, thats what probly happens man

[Faith]

Cool theory...it is believable

[-Mugen-]

Nice theory,but I think that something even more interesting will happen.

[Ero sennin]

would be a interesting twist if that does indeed happen.

[uhIpooped]

Nice theory,but I think that something even more interesting will happen.

I agree, however I do believe that this will have a major plot in the story.
It could explain why everyone believes Madara is still alive when in actuality he is not. As I said I dont believe Zetsu to be the Main villain, but more or less being the means to an end that the Real Madara wanted.
I think Zetsu was a follower of Madara's back in the day, and was recording the Battle Madara and the 1st had, to develop a game plan for future use. Things didn't go according to their plan, as Madara was defeated, and lay dying. So they both came up with the Idea to use Zetsu to clone Madara and thus giving him new life and a way to carry out his plans after his real body dies.
Many aspects of this theory fit known knowledge of Tobi. Like why he is a "shell" of his former self. Also why Tobi has never really engaged in battle (was always more of a diversion). Why we have yet to see his EMS. Why Tobi and Zetsu are so close. How Tobi replaced his arm. Why Itachi believed him to be the real Madara, along with everyone else. Why he has knowledge of Madara's past and the past of others.
The only part for me that doesn't fit is why Tobi wears a mask, If Zetsu's clones can make an exact copy of anyone he has ever touched, then what is the need for the mask?
Maybe Madara was so disfigured from his battle with the 1st that Zetsu's clone could not replace the damage so to speak. Or maybe the mask has a more significant value like a way to channel chakara for some means.
Any Ideas behind the mask? Please no Obito... lol... Although I must admit that the clone theory could support that as well... Like a hybrid Madara/Obito clone. but I'm not gonna go there..

[SHARINGAN_USER UCHIHA_ITACHI]

wOW.....DUDE GREAT THEORY.. REALLY INTERESTING...........!!!!!!

[jovardo]

great theory..dude its really nice two thumbs up

[uhIpooped]

thanx yall... more to come...

madara has a huge stack of eyes in his laboratory..also it seems rinnengan eyes ,too...(chapter482 laboratory..and chapter 486 he take out the rinnengan)....the mask is one of his back up plan...i think maybe he only hid the second eye...to let the opponents don`t know which sort of eye he has in the other site...why take out the rinnegan?..i think he needs the rinnengan eye to summon gedo mazo and in the next time non of the beasts will be catched --there will be fights--...he say he want to prepare for battle that`s why he needs his second sharingan eye for the fully use of EMS f.e.to controll the beasts in fight...maybe this is an example how could it be i think...thats my opinion about the mystery of the mask

p.s.sry for my english out of practise

cool theory

[Rain Of Hell]

great theory reps

[NipponIchi]

how can his clone use the transportation jutsu and not his main body? if its a clone should it be really able to use the same ability of the original user? why doesnt zetsu just make a clone army of itachi and the fallen akatsuki soldiers? dont think this theory will come into the manga but its better then the tobi=obito crap

[-Tauburn-]

its just a theory but it sounds like a good one

[Sora007]

It's a very good theory and it may be the truth. We will see in the next chapters....

[~Falcon~]

Wow thats awesome
if it goes that way the whole story will bring different outcome

[Hot.Tendo]

I agree... the moment that arm ripped off... I knew he was fake (or zetsu's clone)....
nice eye... :D

[PainShinra]

Not bad theory, good job.

well, he can use the same techs as the original, just as he did with Kisame .. just not to the same extent... I believe that he may be limited on how may 'real' clones he can make, kinda like Naruto and SM ... Also I missed this before, but on this page you can clearly see Tobi get his arm back from a Zetsu like plant after fighting Ao.. which lends more credence to this..
Naruto 486 page 05 | One Manga
Something else I thought about is Zetsu always knows where Tobi is, and Tobi also can track people, however it seems that it is only people he has come in contact with. My reasoning for this is, Tobi being a Zetsu clone, he can place chakara-less spores on people Like at the Kage summit.. and use these to track people.
I'm sticking to this theory until it is proven wrong.. cause all the pieces are there, and it makes total sense.

[Taboo]

hah, as much as this is possible, I cant get to think thats what happened. I mean really, it is interesting, but if thats what happened I would be dissapoined in Kishis ability to make plots. We could make thousands of predictions like this, but theres no points to it. U have forgot two important facts: FIRSTLY: did it ocure to u that the arm is white, because the manga is black and white? also as much as I recall Zetsus clones would be green? wouldnt they? But thats an another unsure fact, cuz the anime hasnt got that far to show us the true collors. Thats a hole in ur theory, ya cant be sure what the color of the arm is. And SECONDLY : Zetsu cant have made a clone of Madara, because first of all we dont know if he is immortal or not, and if he was theres no solid proof that Madara knew him. And second of all, Madara fooled Hashirama into believing he is dead with Izanagi, which is pretty obvious.
The only question left is, what did Kabuto summon in that coffin.

Well first flaw in your argument is .... Being black and white, if an arm was ripped off it is going to bleed .. which all the blood I have seen so far shows up black in the black and white scans.
Plus explain to me how Tobi grew a new arm, which happened right in front a Zetsu like plant ... Oro is the only one I've seen be able to regenerate, and I dont think he ever did a limb that was torn or cut off...
Second: Zetsu is made up of two halves, black and white ... only his shell or whatever you want to call it is green .. Otherwise his Kisame clone would have been green as well.
Yes you have a point about not knowing their pasts ... But this is a theory ...
you are also making an assumption about Izanagi .. we still dont know what happened.. and I HIGHLY doubt that EMS grants immortality ... even through Izanagi ..
So until proof can be shown, I think my theory hold more weight over the other theories...

And lastly, you said you'd be disappointed in Kishi's ability to make plots ... This would be a huge twist ... and not is a bad way...

Well, the truth is that we too dont know about Madaras abilities, what he is capable of. I didnt say the theory isnt plausible, I just dont think that way. Still, even though ya havent seen blood, ya cant be sure, but I guess thats why its called a theory, so lets say it may be that way.
Anyways, referring to the part that I bolded, I think that u are wrong, sure theres no true immortality as Kakuzu said, but a few things ought to be accepted, like the fact that it is stated in the manga, I dont know who said that but I'm sure it has been said, that the EMS gives the user immortality. But on the other side, we dont know its side effects, its limits, and its effects on the user, meaning we dont know the form of the immortality. Remember Hidan, he is a true immortal, Kakuzu also, but Kakuzu has to collect hearts, and about Hidan I dont know, but Im pretty sure he also has some limits, his body that is, but we dont know that. So, Madara can be an immortal, but he must have some limits, I'm pretty sure I saw rinkles under his eyes when he took the mask off to Sasuke.
Tell me this, if Madara is actually a clone, why does Zetsu speak with him? We have seen them two alone in several occasions, there was no one else but them two, so why talk? Why not just undo the jutsu and see what the clone has found out?
I dont say it would be a bad twist, I just said that I would be dissapointed. Madara is the ultimate villain, the whole character is great, I guess what I mean is that I like his character, it would just be a disappointment, at least to me, to know that he is just a clone.

That makes more sence then any other theory!!!!!
