Obito and Tobi, putting it all back together.

Hello all!  I've been digging through my old Naruto books and found some interesting things.  For instance, there is a way to prove that Tobi is Obito which I never noticed before.

Chapter 397- Right after Sasuke kills Itachi

Here you see more of Obito's face than any other panel.  See his face lines? There are 4 which are positioned in such a way that they cannot be wrinkles.  Even Chiyo and her husband didn't have wrinkles like that.  These marks are the result of Obito's face being crushed by the giant rock when he saved Kakashi.

To support this theory we have this:
Chapter 510- Right before Obito kills Konan

As you can see, Kishi went to great lengths to ensure that you could never see the left side of Obito's face.  This is because Obito's left side was not crushed by the rock, and is youthful like Kakashi's.  That is also why Obito had bandages on his forehead, to hide the fact that is face is different on both sides. Put them together and you get this: 
Obito now

Last, Obito seemed not to care about sacrificing his left eye for izanagi against Konan.  This implies that the sharingan he sacrificed was not actually his, since he basically threw it away.  When he fought Danzou's guards, his right arm was infected and Obito just removed his own arm like it was nothing.  He lost the same limb while fighting Konan too.  Since that is the side that was crushed by the rock, it is probably just an augmentation that isn't really part of Obito's body.  Obito could have escaped from the rocks, been resurrected, or found by someone else.  Then he would have augmented himself on his right side since his limbs probably were beyond repair.

Lastly, my biggest problem with the Obito theory was that Obito had no motive.  But then I re-read this:
Chapter 241- Right after Rin is kidnapped

After Obito taught Kakashi about the rule breaking and scum thing he said, "If I'm scum... the rules are no good to me and if breaking them makes me the wrong kind of shinobi... I'll crush all the so-called shinobi."  This speaks for itself.  It is the only time I have seen Obito acting like Tobi until (Pre-Shippuden).  That's all I have to say and I hope it cleared some things up about Obito.
