TobyAkatsuki

Tobi First Manga Appearance: 280 First Anime Appearance: Has not appeared yet Ring: Gyoku (Jewel/Jade) on left thumb Originally From: Unknown Miscellaneous Information: Tobi was Zetsu's subordinate. He has a very formal and correct manner of speech and wanted to fill in Sasori's position in Akatsuki after he had died. To his luck he was eventually let in Akatsuki as we see in chapter 317 that Deidara tells him how a member of Akatsuki is supposed to act.Fans of Naruto believe that Obito Uchiha, despite being deceased, is Tobi. This is because of the similarity of name between

Tobi and Obito and because of the author of Naruto described himself as being heavily inspired by Dragon Ball, which featured the villain Buu and his reincarnation Uub. It is also believed Obito and Tobi

are the same person because the apparent mechanization of parts of Tobi's body correspond to the injuries Obito suffered when last seen. In particular, Tobi wears a mask that directs attention to his one working

eye. Obito had,in his dying moments, let his other eye be surgically extracted and implanted into his friend Kakashi.It's unknown if and how Obito would have become Tobi, but at the time of Obito's apparent death, Akatsuki had at least

two members who were highly skilled at the preservation of a body's abilities after death; Orochimaru and Sasori. Fans speculate that if he is in fact Tobi, he could be the third Mangekyō Sharingan user that Itachi had mentioned.
