[RECAP]

For all those who don’t know what’s going on exactly, Itachi and Sasuke defeated Kabuto and ended the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu. Elsewhere, Madara Uchiha has found a loophole in the technique, severing ties from Kabuto, the reincarnator. 
While the five Kage’s are facing his might, Naruto, Kakashi, Might Guy and Killer B face the masked man - Tobi - during which Kakashi shockingly realizes something.

[REVIEW]

(I'm doing a manga review for the first time, despite being a huge Manga and Anime geek! Please excuse me if I have done anything wrong. Arigato!)

Kakashi figures out  that Tobi's ability to become intangible and absorb things were one and the same. He then explains that when he makes himself intangible, what Tobi actually does is to warp away the part of his body that was being attacked to the other dimension; so while it existed there, all attacks would simply phase through his body.

An even more shocking discovery was that Tobi’s Space-Time Ninjutsu shared the same dimension as that of Kakashi’s Kamui, thus proving that Tobi had Obito’s eye. Also, when Kakashi asked him where he got his eye from, Tobi claimed to have acquired Obito's right eye during the battle of Kannabi Bridge (where Obito was crushed and presumed dead).

I was, am and will remain an avid believer of the theory that Obito is Tobi. If not, then at least somehow these two are related. Tobi knows way too much about Kakashi, as seen below.

See? I know 99% of you will not agree with me, but  I have my fingers crossed that Tobi will somehow turn out to be Obito. Yes, his entire right half was crushed, but Tobi’s body has regenerated itself so many times that it doesn't really matter.

Let’s wait for the next chapter. Maybe we finally find out who is behind that mask.

Till Then

Ciao!
