So who did all the Akatsuki members think was the leader? When tobi was introduced for the first time, it was like he was a long time friend of Deidara who was trying to get into the Akatsuki

When Tobi (Obito) created the Akatsuki, he wanted everyone to think he was just another guy, so he made Pain the leader. Btw, it was also Nagato's dream to create the Akatsuki.

I'm pretty sure Tobi was able to pull that comic relief attitude, because he was encapsulated by spiral zetsu, who liked toilet humor.

<p>I'm confused about when we first meet Tobi. He becomes Deidara's partner and acts helpless. If he was Madara all along, why did he have to go through the process of getting accepted into the Akatsuki?</p>

<p>Examples: when capturing the 3 tails and when fighting Sasuke</p>

Why did Madara pose as Tobi when with Deidara?
