GerizzyYMcrew wrote: ^ thats not a timelime issue at all...you just stated your own damn opinions which pretty much dont matter Indeed it's just my opinion. But I think there's enough inconsistency to regard is at a timeline issue. So let me break down Gerisama's objections pointwise:

1. Jiraiya taught the 3 Ame orphans during the 2nd War, most like before he mentored Minato.

2. Even if he mentored Minato before mentoring the Ame orphans, Minato and Nagato should roughly be the same age (Nagato might be a bit older)

3. Yet the Wiki page says that Minato died age 24, while Yahiko died at age 15 and Nagato died at age 35.

4. This is inconsistent because Minato, would have been 40 during the Pain Arc, yet the supposedly older Nagato was only 35 when he attacked Konoha.

5. That's not all. Minato was probably 22-23 years old when Obito "died" at the battle of Kannabi Bridge. That would place Nagato and Yahiko in their early 20's during Obito's "death"

6. Yet Yahiko died at at age 15, and during that time Minato too would have been in his teens, just like Nagato and Konan.

7. But Obito had turned evil and manipulated the Ame orphans before Yahiko died, which implies that Obito turned evil when Minato was in his teens.

8. But we know from the manga that Minato was older than 21 years old when Obito turned evil, which is a clear contradiction.

Hence, there are severe timeline issues involved.

AsianReaper wrote: Yes, Obito was a teenage boy. That means any sort of heart break hurts a whole lot worse, since you're just around hitting puberty and those hormones are killer. Still a lame motivation. Plus those hormones would impair his rational mind, without which manipulating Yagura, Kirigakura and Akatsuki would have been impossible. So Obito still sucks.
