No real need to delete it. Now, just some nit-picking comments on what has been posted so far. I sort of speed read through the thread, so forgive me if these have been pointed out already.
 * 1) Tobi didn't retrieve Deidara's arm from Kamui's dimension. Kakashi severed Deidara's arm by Kamuing his elbow. Chapter 276, page 9. You can see the forearm still there when the elbow is gone in the upper panels. The next page, you don't see the forearm because it already fell down somewhere. What Tobi returned to Deidara was his forearm and hand, which were important because back then the Akatsuki rings were still supposed to be important for something. Later on, we see Deidara's elbow was replaced, his forearm stitched into it, and the elbow back into his body, probably by Kakuzu, who does that sort of thing to Hidan regularly. If Tobi had retrieved it, it would have been a major clue to readers he was Obito. He would also have tipped Deidara he himself had a Sharingan, something Deidara hated. The more people knowing about him being an Uchiha, the more likely it would have been that someone would have figured out who he really was, so his "I'm Madara" lie would have been much harder to sell.
 * 2) Hashirama being able to control the tailed beasts with Wood Release due to the Ten-Tails being part God Tree makes no sense. The tailed beasts were created only from the Ten-Tail's chakra, not its body.
 * 3) Kakashi feeling uneasy before the Nine-Tails attack is not necessarily due to their Sharingan connection. In all the years after Obito was presumed dead, until they met again, not once that connection did anything on his end. Even child Itachi felt something ominous in the air.
 * 4) Sasuke's Chidori piercing Gaara's and being unimpressive due to Lightning Release having an advantage over Earth Release is faulty. Gaara's sand has never been associated with Earth Release, and a couple of them were actually associated with Wind Release.
 * 5) Kisame was never ever even suggested to be Anbu.
 * 6) Reviving Hidan as an Edo would not have been useless, if Hidan had been dead by the war. He would have been able to draw blood, because other Edos could. Gengetsu bit his finger to draw blood for summoning his clam, and I'm pretty sure we saw Edo Itachi's eye bleed from using MS at some point.
