#1 – Who am I again?

"Shall we have a little chat, Uzumaki Naruto?"

Naruto's blue eyes opened in surprise and he turned to face the owner of the deep voice. Tobi sat before him on the window sill, his masked head resting comfortably in his gloved palm. Naruto reacted quickly, forming a shadow clone and throwing a rasengan at the masked man. Tobi dodged with ease.

"A rasengan, eh?" he questioned, slightly amused. "You should know that won't work on me!" Something swirled around Tobi's body, surprising him. The object hardened, forming into wood, successfully binding his limbs to his body. With a poof of smoke, Kakashi appeared next to him, sharigan activated and a chidori at the ready. "Nice move, Hatake Kakashi. You're fast."

Naruto jumped back as a wooden cage formed in front of him, separating him from his sensei and the Akatsuki member. "Naruto, stay still!" Yamato told him, his hands placed on the ground as he kept his wooden jutsus in place.

"I won't let you get your hands on Naruto that easily," Kakashi told him, glaring at him. "Uchiha Madara!"

Madara raised an eyebrow. "You must have heard me then, right? None of your attacks will work on me, Uchiha Madara~!"

Kakashi looked at him, a little surprised. "So… You admit you're Uchiha Madara…?"

"At least, I think I am anyway…"

Naruto scrunched up his face. "You think? How can you not know your own name?" It made little sense to the blonde, that this supposed powerful guy didn't know something as simple as his own name.

"You see, there's been a lot of speculation on my identity," he explained. "Deidara thought I was the devil, while Hidan was convinced I was his God and only covered my face to test his faith. It was quite amusing for a while but got old a little too quickly."

"Long story short, you don't know who you are?" Yamato asked, confusion evident on his face.

"Precisely," Madara confirmed, nodding his head once. "Nagato and Konan knew, but the former as passed away and Konan refuses to speak to me. The little b*tch…"

"Can't you just check your birth certificate or something?" Naruto asked him, clutching the wooden cage. "Your name would be on it! Believe it!"

"That's a good idea Naruto," Yamato told him. "But he kind of needs to know his name in order to find his birth certificate in the first place…"

Kakashi nodded. "He has the sharigan, meaning he must be an Uchiha. We could just check the records of every Uchiha born the year you were. Granted, it would take a little too long but it would clear up the confusion."

"Ah! But Hatake Kakashi, you have the sharigan but aren't in anyway related to an Uchiha!" Madara pointed out.

"Touché…"

An awkward silence took over the room for a few moments. Yamato and Madara remained still, not by choice but because they couldn't move. Kakashi examined his fingernails while Naruto avoided all eye contact. "So…" Madara (?) spoke, breaking the silence. "Shall I just tell you about Uchiha Itachi and we'll forget this conversation ever happened?"

"Agreed."

A/n:

A new series~! Each chapter, we'll investigate an identity that has been given to Tobi at one point or another by Narutards. This series isn't a continuation, so the chapters could happen at any point in the Naruto timeline. There'll be ten chapters, and I've already handpicked a few characters that will star as 'Tobi' for a chapter. I can't take credit for all of the theories, but a couple of them will be mine. :) Feel free to make a few suggestions on who you think Tobi could be. I mightn't use them, but I will take them into consideration. ;)

This chapter takes place during chapter 460 and the first part of this is actual dialogue which made by job a lot easier. :D Of course, it's been announced that Tobi IS Madara, but to me, he's just Tobi until we see underneath his mask. ;D

So, Enjoy~!
