You may be right, the ripple pattern of the rinnegan is also similar to the symbol of the uzumaki clan.

i find it interesting that the 1st wife was an uzumaki and she passed the nine tails down to naruto's mom and she passed it to him. could naruto be a direct decendant to the 1st? if so then its possible that naruto could be a decendant of the sage of 6 paths. and if nagato a uzumaki can unleash the rinnegan then why not naruto? i know it says tobi gave nagato the rinnegan but what if was threw passing it down threw blood relation and not implanting them its possible tobi is really a uzumaki maybe even nagatos grand father thats how he lives so long and is able to use the rinnegan? but hen again why doesnt he have his own instead of having to take others that why i think tobi could be madaras brother why else would he have collected so many eyes because he doesnt have is own maybe madara and his brother were working together? i dont know but i cant wait to find out i love this manga

but i sure wish naruto would stop relying on the nine tails and develop his ninjutsu maybe some of his fathers flying thunder god technique he leans to heavy on one ot two techniques when we see him develope as a ninja

well tobis first mask didnt look like a whirlpool and tobi dont have red hair. and the uzamikis are as dif from the senju as the senju are from uchia if u go based on what ur say naruto is a piece of uchia and no he isnt related to the first tsunade is the first grand daughter narutos mom came from the whirlpool village. tobi took dna from people and implanted him like uchia and senju. they never said tobi was there from the creation of the village he just knows alot madara could have told him that stuff. i believe when madara left the village he ran into tobi and thats when he started to help madara and that he put senju cells in madara

Personally I think that tobi is madara..I think so by his own admission he said that he was nothing more than an empty shell of the real madara..Itachi also says this..Its been building gradually but the village officials have analyze the remnants of zetsu finding the properties to be similar shodai's mokuto..if this creature can be so similar to shodai.. It means its a creation..and it follows that madara has shodai's power as confirmed by chap 561 so I think fake madara is a Wood clone of real madara which explains the abilty for him to regenerate after sustaining damage..like Yamato I think the clones can operate independently of original and can continue to exist even after the original has expired unless.. otherwise re absorbed by the original..as to fake madara referring to him self as a mere shell...and something or other else about the wound being too deep.. I believe that at the time of his creation real madara's injuries were just that, and so you can imagine him not being able to use his power to their full extent if at all..so the clone would take on the same properties as the original and would therefore continue to exist through the ages as a mere shell of the original..so thats what I think

I think Naruto needs more powers personally..even at full Nine tail chakra mode I still think he falls short in a lot of ways.. but thats the fun in Naruto it'll be fun to see how things develop. And I agree with the comment from earlier saying that He needs to learn more of his father's powers.. maybe not the flying thunder god per se..but I defntly think he needs to learn the shunshin tech and advance it further and in more ways than his father did. Flying thundergod stage 1 thru whatever are just gate way techniques.. but shun shin no jutsu is the key.. and that little yellow flash comment from bee when they were training DOES NOT COUNT.. that was just him moving really flippin fast because of nine tails mode..that def was'nt time space ninjutsu.

as to naruto being able to have the eyes of the Sage..Id really love for that to Happen..But remember the sage gave the eye and chakras to the elder and the Body to the younger..only way its possible is if there were some cool story of how the bloodlines recombined some how in the last 80 or so years since that battle between shodai and madara.. and If so my money is on it coming from the fourth's side...no one knows the lineage of the fourth yet..so that will be interesting indeed.. It couldnt come from Kushina's side because she was brought from somewhere else... and there are'nt any uchiha's anywhere else but in konoha..

I still can't believe madara knows Nagato. Like when did they meet? If madara gave nagato the rinnegan, when did this happen? In manga chapter 444, when Nagato parents got killed, It shows on pg 17 he already had the Rinnegan before his parents died. Was he born with it? It could be that nagato inherited his rinnegan from someone from his clan, who was also called Nagato. The reason i think this is because in manga chapter 510 pg 16, tobi refers to nagato (pein) as the 'third of the six path'. What does that mean?

Like I said the mask fact wasn't that important lol
Actually the uzumaki clan branched off from the senju so I am saying they have senju in them and they don't have anything to do with uchihas because the clan branched off from the senju clan. Uzumakis were know for having red hair but I don't think they all had red hair, naruto is from the uzumaki clan and he has yellow hair and yes I know his father wasn't an uzumaki than maybe one of obitos parents weren't an uzumaki.

Kent0005, I found that part of the chapter intresting when he called nagato the third path. He also said that the first and madara where the first and second path and that he, Tobi, has the first and second path in him. I recall he said that. I'm guessing there's three more people out there that are part of the path thing, the 4th, 5th, and 6th path.
