So I've been reading a lot about Madara from Naruto lately, there are a lot of theories about his suspiciously long lifespan. Yes, I read the manga and watch the anime. Anyway, I've been thinking a lot and so what the heck, I decided to come up with my own. I'll admit, I'm not the most knowledgable about the Naruto universe, I started reading the manga near the end since the I'd thought I knew the jist from the anime, I plan on going back and reading the whole thing but right now I don't have the time. But anyway, so if there is an inexcusable flaw in my thoughts, please, don't get your panties in a twist. Some people take this seriously and spend many an hour argueing over the details but the truth is Kishimoto have proven that he can do whatever the hell he wants with the series so who knows what to expect, there are no absolutes. So, these are my thoughts.

Personally, I think that Madara can tranfer his soul like Orochimaru, Kishimoto never said Orochimaru was the only one to use it. Also I think that Madara transfered his soul into the body of Obito, don't ask me how, that would explain the name Tobi and his similar form to Obito as well as his mask exposing his left eye. Also The Eternal Sharringan, I dont think that had to do with his lifespan but I think it refers more to the longevity of the use in the user's body. Madara's extremely powerful chakra could also play a part in allowing him to tranfer his soul more easily than Orochimaru.

So yeah, this is the product of insomnia and reading manga and theory posts....I'm just gonna go play my ps3 now
