[[WMG: Madara used [[spoiler: Izanagi]]]]
[[spoiler: Izanagi is basically someone losing their eye in exchange for "removing the bounds between reality and illusion". ''The'' main advantage of this has already been shown by Danzo cheating death. This leaves me speculating that this very technique was used by Madara at the end with his battle with the First. This explains why we haven't seen his left eye, the supposed damage that his Sharingan took during the same battle and how he tricked the First, who was an extremely powerful ninja that led his clan against a clan of natural genjutsu users ([[SuperpowerLottery among other things]]), and therefore someone who had no doubt a lot of experience with ''common'' genjutsu. The biggest issue with this theory is the fact that when he talks about his loss of power he gives the impression that he is too weak to do anything himself, to which I have two hypotheses: 1- That is how he sees himself, considering how important just one Mangekyo Sharingan can be (let alone the Eternal) he may have lost so much power that he sees himself in the manner he describes; 2- [[UnreliableNarrator It's convenient when people underestimate you, just ask Tobi.]] Both of which are supported by [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/naruto/v44/c404/12.html this]]]]
* Pretty much {{Jossed}} as of Ch. 510: Madara used [[spoiler:Izanagi just recently in his fight with Konan using the eye he hides under the mask (which of course is closed forever). He was probably that shifty in his battle with Hashirama.]]
** [[spoiler: Although he has an endless supply of Sharingan, so he could have used it before.]]

He's just failed at capturing the Eight-Tail, and I'm assuming he'll be pissed that Pain got to Konoha before him. This is all after god knows how many chapters of him being the Sue we all know and er, love, and such a huge setback might just be the start of a whole 'nother downwards slope. [[spoiler: Let's hope he stays away from [[NaughtyTentacles Sakura]]...]]

** And [[spoiler: Naruto uses Sage Mode in Chapter 642.]]

* Jossed. Sakura is still healing Naruto from his overuse of Kurama's chakra. However, [[spoiler:Minato finally arrived.]]

* Jossed. Check Shippuden episode 82. Her hair flies up as she runs out of her mom's flower shop and her eye is perfectly fine. [http://www.narutoget.com/watch/69-naruto-shippuden-episode-82-english-subbed/]

* In his backstory, we learn that [[spoiler: Madara tried to convince Obito to join him willingly, and after Rin's death he did.]]

[[spoiler:Jossed as of the the latest chapter. Her surname is Nohara.]]

** [[spoiler:Danzo]] will most likely prevent him from leaving the village, and then send a team of his men to kill Sasuke to prevent the Cloud ninja from doing it and getting the Sharingan. Sakura may well catch word of this, and assemble a team of some of the people whom she trusts most to go after Sasuke and get to him first, possibly Lee, Ino and Kakashi. Naruto will most likely stay behind in the village to undergo a ritual to control the Nine-tailed fox (similar to Ichigo and his inner hollow in {{Bleach}}) and then go in with Yamato, Sai and Hinata after sneaking out of the village. Now that the three teams besides Team 7 each got to participate in an arc, I suspect that this arc, like Sasuke Retrieval, will involve one or two characters from each team, likely those most committed to rescuing Sasuke (not just Team 7, but also those in love with one of the members).

Kyuubi has some kind of {{plan}} that involves projecting a dark clone of Naruto to achieve some objective. Sort of like [[{{Bleach}} Zangetsu.]]

[[WMG: Tobi Could Still Be Obito Uchiha]]
I don't know if it's been mentioned but the whole "Tobi is Obito thing" isn't actually closed yet. In my opinion it's still more then possible, especially when you consider the abilities "Tobi" has so far displayed. Is it just me or does the black hole thing Tobi does strangely similar to Kakashi's mangekyo sharingan ability only, you know, better like an actual uchiha was using it. Not to mention the hole in the mask being the eye Obito didn't lose and anyone with past history in the Hidden Leaf village who happened to be an Uchiha that was also the head of a huge ninja crime ring would be interested and, therefor, privy to what actually happened to the Uchiha clan especially with Itachi and Orochimaru under his belt. Add the fact that we only have his word that he is Madara, he hasn't yet removed the mask and him surviving that rock thing or somehow being revived via some process isn't out of the question and it is certainly possible that Tobi actually IS Obito Uchiha.
* Except that Madara was already manipulating people before Obito went on that mission, its possible that Madara is an unnamed Uchiha that went rogue a long time ago but makes more sense that it is actually Madara.
* Jossed. The Fox directly identified Madara as Madara when he extracted him out of Kushina. Sorry, Obito being Tobi is dead.
** [[spoiler: It is now just put up for debate again. It is revealed that in chapter 559, that the REAL Madara Uchiha had been DeadAllAlong, putting Tobi's identity back into speculation]]
*** [[spoiler: While the masked man's identity is a mystery again, it still can't be Obito behind the mask since this guy was around before Obito died.]]
*** [[spoiler: Not strictly true, unless I'm completely mistaken. The Masked Man first appeared around the time of Kyuubi attack; that takes place after Obito died.]]
*** [[spoiler: Which is between a couple of months to almost a year after Obito died, pretty much rules Obito out even if he did manage to survive, he wouldn't have managed to get a spare Sharingan, upgrade them to Mangekyo and become powerful enough to fight Minato in such a short time.]]
*** [[spoiler: If my math is right, it has to be at least a year, if not more. Obito died just after Kakashi made Jonin at age 13. Kakashi is 26 at the start of the series, so Obito died 13 years before the series began. The Nine-Tales attacked Konoha about twelve years before the series began. So that gives him a year, year and a half at most. And Tobi has never demonstrated any use of the Mangekyo Sharingan, so that's not a requirement. If someone helped out Obito, I think it's possible for him to make that transition within a year, especially in a series like this.]]
** Jossed. [[spoiler: Tobi's eye is connected to Kakashi's, and their Space Time powers are also connected. Tobi states that he got his eye from the battlefield where Obito died, meaning he looted it from Obito's corpse.]]

[[WMG:Naruto will become a Chunin or mabye a Jonin as a result of the Pain invades Konoha arc]]

There's no other way Kakashi could have acquired the Mangekyo Sharingan. Gai's still alive, all of team 7 are still alive, Obito and Minato have been dead for quite some time - there's really no one else that Kakashi's close to. Unless, of course, Kakashi's so badass that he discovered a way to activate the Mangekyo without anyone dying on him.

The Raikage is adamantly determined to kill Sasuke. Naruto is determined to save Sasuke from himself and bring him home alive. Sooner or later, these two are gonna come to blows about this, and it's not gonna be pretty. We may even get to see Naruto's 5- and 7-Tailed Forms that we missed in the Pain Arc. This could be the end of the ''[[FourIsDeath Fourth]]'' Raikage.

[[WMG:Kurenai will have twins of opposite genders]].

[[WMG:Madara's real plan is to fuse with the Juubi while simultaneously defeating the Sage of Six Paths via a StableTimeLoop]]

* The # of tails is equal to the number order of that tailed beast's creation. 2 tails = 2nd created.

1) The Sage of Six Paths battles the Juubi/Madara (9 TB total), sent from the future via Gedo Mazo, and barely wins. The Sage then does what he does canonically to the Juubi. Madara, having lost this fight, is destroyed by the Sage in his Juubi form but becomes the essence that possesses the Uchiha clan and grants it it's superiority complex / bloodlust, which leads to hundreds of years of ninja war. Madara does this hoping to create a Stable Time Loop. Seeing what the Rinnegan can do [[spoiler:(just about anything)]], Madara clings to life and passes on the knowledge down the Uchiha line by living inside the Sharingan.

2) One of the Uchihas, prodded by Sharingan/Madara, concocts the Forbidden Technique: Symbio Style, Grand Summoning Ascension, and uses it to create Shukaku. Unwilling to allow his own clan insights as to his power, this Uchiha uses Shukaku in battle against the superiorly-skilled Senju clan, and reclaims the possibility of victory for Uchiha. This forces the Senju clan to become better. Over time, Senju and Uchiha become so much more powerful than any other clans that the two are constantly forced to fight each other.

3) Tailed Beasts 2-8 are created in a similar fashion, with similar results following.

4) Madara Uchiha is born, and since Past-Madara/Sharingan-Madara is still alive in the Sharingan, Present Day Madara is granted enormous knowledge about Uchiha, and learns about Grand Summoning Ascension. At this point, Past-Madara/Sharingan-Madara and Present-Day/Normal-Timeline Madara are synchronized to become Complete Madara. Meanwhile, peace comes throughout the land as Uchiha and Senju finally make peace with one another. The Uchiha become a police force for the Village Hidden in the Leaf, and Hashirama is made the First Hokage. Madara wanders the land for many years, hoping to find somebody possessing the Rinnegan so he can begin his plan concerning trapping the Tailed Beasts, but finds nobody. Bitter and vengeful, Madara returns to the village and activates Symbio Style: Grand Summoning Ascension successfully in hopes of regaining Uchiha's loss of status. The Nine-Tailed Fox is born.

5) An incredibly epic battle ensues between Madara and the First, the victor being [[spoiler: the First]]. Desperate to win and unaware of the consequences, Madara activates GSA once again. Being in no way stronger than when he first started the fight, Madara's attempt fails spectacularly, the Nine-Tails runs rampant without its master to control it, and no 10-tailed beast is formed. Hashirama calls it a day, and returns to being amazing as the First.

6) Madara, soon after realizing he's a ghost, goes wandering the world again, and realizes that he needs physical bodies to assist him in his plan. Complete Madara searches for powerful ninja to recruit to his side and help him destabilize the ninja villages so his plan can proceed. [[spoiler:Akatsuki is born]]. Give it up, this would explain the large number of impossibly powerful rogue ninja working together rather than being at each other's throats. Well, most of the time.

7) Complete Madara has Pein restore some semblance of physical form back to him via the Rinnegan. This allows Madara, who had heretofore lost all control over the physical world, to regain control of the demon fox. The fox is sent to Konoha as part of Akatsuki's goal of destabilizing ninja villages, and signifies that Akatsuki has finally found Pein, who is willing to assist Madara (although he doesn't know it), and is the beginning of the end for the ninja world. Don't cry spoiler, Akatsuki's involvement in this is part of my WMG.

8) About five years later, Uchiha begins to plan a coup, a plan suggested by Danzo. Danzo did this so he could have a reason to eliminate Uchiha... a new character list following the changes in Naruto characters will come later. Unbeknownst to Madara, but known to the ANBU Black Ops and especially Itachi, who recognizes the importance, the Uchiha clan finds Grand Summoning Ascension. Thus, the coup is delayed, for the clan is trying to find the person in the clan who has a chance of being more powerful than Madara was so they can activate it and create the 10-tailed beast.

9) Sasuke vows revenge, which Itachi anticipated and planned for to allow others who might obstruct his (Itachi's) plan to be destroyed.

10) The group of Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke go to the Land of Waves, an area that, like the Village Hidden in the Mist, has been destabilized by Akatsuki into what is effectively a 3rd-world country. Itachi bribed the person that put up the offer to place a lower rank on the mission so as to allow Sasuke the opportunity to re/awaken his Sharingan. Yes, in this, Itachi is a genius. Meanwhile, Akatsuki's growing from its power base.

11) A little later, Orochimaru realizes Madara's true plan and begins his attempt to assimilate Sasuke, and thus become a Sharingan-wielder that can activate Grand Summoning Ascension, thus interfering with Madara's plan. Itachi recognized that Orochimaru would take that course of action, but allowed it in a gambit to allow Sasuke to have the Magekyo Sharingan, which alone could pose a credible threat to Madara's plan. Madara, meanwhile, allowed Itachi to do this because he was setting up Sasuke, the only remaining manipulatable (not a word, I know) Uchiha left, to activate GSA.

12) Orochimaru gets absorbed, Madara's happy, Sasuke's happy, Itachi's happy, and Orochimaru's happy.

13) Sasuke goes around taking down members of Akatsuki and heightening his strength. Naruto piddles around doing the same.

14) Sasuke vs Itachi. Itachi realizes that the time has come, that he (Itachi) has been close to dying for many years and that Madara has a reasonable chance of coming out on top. Itachi pushes Sasuke, who's much weaker, into releasing Orochimaru, and promptly ends Orochimaru's plan with one spiritual sealing in the Kusanagi blade. Itachi dies and allows Sasuke to possess the Magekyo Sharingan, and his techniques along with it. Itachi is covered in every way: Should Sasuke go against Madara, Madara's lost his Uchiha replacement and, being a ghost for nearly a hundred years, Madara's power isn't sufficiently high enough to attempt GSA even if Pein did bring his body back. Should Madara try to bring Sasuke to his side, Amaterasu might hold off Madara and convince Sasuke to leave Madara (Itachi's protecting Sasuke). Should Madara succeed in bringing Sasuke AND Amaterasu doesn't work, the 'crow' that Itachi gave Naruto will kick in.

14a) The crow. Itachi, being an Uchiha, can feel the pull of Juubi/Madara's influence as can every other Uchiha. However, by being an Uchiha, Itachi has an innate pull over Tailed Beasts, like other Uchiha (posited above). The part of Itachi's power given to Naruto is the ability of a person to have some control over the Tailed Beast, which is the same power Juubi/Madara has over other Uchihas. Here's Itachi's plan: Madara may succeed and bring Sasuke to create the 10-tailed beast. If, however, Naruto has his own 'pull' against the Nine-Tailed Fox, then perhaps that can allow the Fox to split from the attempted Juubi and thus weaken Madara/Juubi when it tries to fight the Sage, or even allow the Fox to attack Juubi/Madara. That would satisfactorily explain why Itachi's so accepting of his own death, even when the future (presumably) isn't known.

15) Skipping ahead... Pein invades, nukes Konoha, and gives his life away to resurrect everybody else. If you're on the WMG page and you don't know this, you might want to stay off pages that are spoilerrific by nature. Madara sees his plan to get his body back via Pein destroyed, and has to throw all his hope on the Gedo Mazo & Juubi plan. Not willing to throw it in just yet, Madara goes to the Summit and announces a false plan (Moon's Eye Plan) and another ninja war even though he and Akatsuki don't have the resources to engage in one. For Madara, this makes sense. He gained the enormity of his experience and power during a war, when he was forced to become better to survive, so it's only logical that a war be started to cause the same thing in Sasuke.

16) As stated by one of the Kages, a ninja coalition has never before existed. Madara will use that fact as an opportunity for Akatsuki, and will return to Akatsuki's original goal of destabilizing the villages by organizing things so that it appears the villages are turning on each other. There are many ways to do that... assassinate one group, put another village foremost into battle, and then there are all the Manipulative Bastards that will come out of the woodwork given the environment to do so. The Fourth Ninja War won't be between Akatsuki + TB vs Ninja Villages, but Ninja Villages v Ninja Villages. Akatsuki will take this opportunity to play mercenary, just as Uchiha and Senju did long ago, while Madara will use it to increase Sasuke's strength. If Sasuke gets into trouble, Madara will simply space/time rend him into his (Madara's) eye. There will be a great deal of awesome on the parts of Shikamaru, the new Hokage, and... not Sakura.

17) Speaking of things that nobody cares about, Sakura's going to attempt to stop the war mentioned above by talking to Sasuke. It isn't going to work. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle.

18) After a few more plot-important events that don't affect this WMG (see elsewhere... c'mon, I wouldn't put all my guesses in one place, would I?), Sasuke's officially the most hated character in the series and is far beyond everybody except our favorite Determinator. Why's he hated? Why, he kills Kakashi. Just throwing that out there. Naruto fights Sasuke numerous times, and creates more Valley at the End scenarios than even Madara (who's potentially, according to this theory, millions of years old) cares to know about. More war, more suffering, more Akatsuki getting rich (this way, if Madara's plan fails, he has the money to buy nations outright and establish another power base).

19) Sasuke gets Grand Summoning Ascension. Sasuke uses it, because he's a cocky bas**** who would do anything that puts him at an immediate advantage, right? It works, a 10-tailed beast is created, but there's something Madara and Itachi neglected to mention. Orochimaru. Itachi trapped Orochimaru within a blade wielded by Susanoo, and then gave Susanoo to Sasuke. In so doing, Orochimaru was given to Sasuke, and Sasuke is left with a 10-tails of his own creation (He's Uchiha, so the WMG lets him use GSA) that he can't use... because he's no longer 'only Uchiha'. Itachi did this to make sure that if Sasuke did turn evil, he wouldn't be able (in theory) to use GSA. Madara let it happen, banking that the 10-tails could be created but not controlled.

20) So pivotal it needs its own number slot: Madara guessed correctly.

21) In a battle that asplodes the heads of the viewers (the first time around, mind), Sasuke, Naruto, and the 10-Tails get in a free-for-all... and with Madara in charge of the 10-tails. Naruto is captured, and Sasuke, being of no more use to Madara, is irreverently thrown on the ground and stepped on to remove his life and eyes from the Naruto universe forever. There are no more Uchihas, and now the only Sharingan left in the world, Madara Uchiha's Eternal Magekyo, has complete control over all the Tailed Beasts. A rescue attempt consisting of every village's remaining ninja forces converges on the point of Akatsuki's base of operations / Gedo Mazo, just in time for Naruto (Naruto's body) to die and have the 9 & 10-Tails finish being sealed into the temporal time box known as Gedo Mazo.

22) The box is smashed, and the Tailed Beasts are sent hundreds, maybe even thousands of years into the past, coalesce, and form the Juubi, who happens to (according to Madara's plan, of course) appear around the same time the Sage of Six Paths is making his rounds teaching people the ninja way and the powers of nin/gen/taijutsu. With Future!Complete Madara still possessing the Sharingan and hence a link to the Juubi, the result, Future!Complete Madara/Juubi attempts to destroy the world and cause havoc.

23) The Sage of Six Paths comes across the Juubi/Madara abomination, and an amazing fight begins. The fight continues, and it's not looking good for the Sage of Six Paths.

24) Naruto continues to exist in the 9-tails section of the Juubi, a result of Itachi lending Naruto 'some of (his) power'. The Sharingan link comes into effect and saves part of Naruto with the Fox, via the crow. Yeah, it's that important.

25) Just before the fight completely deteriorates for the Sage, Naruto, with the power conferred to him by the Fourth Hokage and the ability given to him with Itachi's 'crow', breaks free of the Juubi, which consisted of 10 TB, resulting in a 9-TB-Juubi and the Nine-Tails Fox. Naruto takes advantage of the 'crow', his innate power as the Jinchuurki of the Fox, and the Yang chakra sealed within him that is the Fox's, and proceeds to help the Sage beat down Juubi/Future!Complete Madara.

25a) Keep in mind, following along from 1-25 and going back to 1 as a result of 25 would result in a Stable Time Loop, ensuring that Madara can't ever die. Multiple the time period between the Sage's existence and the arrival of Step 21 by, oh, a couple thousand times, and you've a Madara who's millions of years old.

26) Path 1: Endless Recursion

26) Path 2: The Chosen One

OR, Kishimoto could decide to be a bastard and [[DownerEnding have Naruto die in said battle, and the Raikage proceeds to track down and kill Sasuke, and then Konoha responds to Naruto's murder with all-out war with the Cloud Village that quickly devolves into a free-for-all amongst the Five Nations (with Madara standing by rubbing his hands and cackling with glee at the resultant chaos), leading to utter desolation that leaves the world incapable of stopping Madara's plot]]. I know; ''really'' unlikely, but This Troper just likes to keep all his bases covered, no matter how improbable some possibilities are.
* Actually, this troper could see that happening, though not as a downer ending. Naruto may not have ''that many'' mindscrew-worthy twists in it, but having Naruto fake his own death and the other nations fake a war to draw Madara out? That's definitly something that might happen.

See how every single currently relevant character seems to be zoning in on Kumo's island? It was even compared to the forest of death training ground. All these people will gather, plotplotplot, then EVERYONE will be on the island, going for EVERYONE-else's necks... and this may be the climactic point for Naruto and Sasuke's final battle? Let's hope so. Minus that, {{This Troper}} claims {{I Knew It}} right now.

** Not really a problem considering there hasn't really been single instance that this troper can think of where Naruto used the Kyuubi against an Akatsuki member (Oro doesn't count since he's no longer a member). And there is only one statue, Pain (and possibly Madara or others considering Pain wasn't there to seal the Hachibi) can just summon it to any location they need it and then send it back to wherever it comes from (notice that it's gone when Naruto and co. recover Gaara's body). Besides, if there was more than one statue, why would they worry about breaking it by putting the bijuu in it in the wrong order?

Kyuubi has some kind of XanatosGambit that involves projecting a dark clone of Naruto to achieve some objective. Sort of like [[{{Bleach}} Zangetsu.]]

* As an extension, being extracted by Akatsuki is also part of their collective Main/XanatosGambit. Possibly, they intend to fuse together while in the statue to become a single unstoppable engine of destruction. This is a much cooler result than nine monstrously powerful demons being used as glorified marketing tools, and keeping nine demons all sealed inside the same statue ''can't'' be a good idea...

* Jossed: Completely unrelated.
