Most of the people pointed out the flaws in this theory. I'll ask (when I'm mostly certain of the answer)... where did you get the information that says that ANBU collect bodies?

The way I figure it, they're either between Jounin and Chuunin (which would make taking part in ANBU something like a test to become Jounin), or they are specialized for protection and/or assassination. We know that hunter nins are something else, something similar to ANBU yet still different; from this I assume that ANBU don't hunt down missing nins. We have seen several instances of Kishimoto throwing ANBU lives away in a method unbefitting of a Jounin, and seeing this I've assumed they are less than Jounin.

Regardless, about the eye... 9 out of 10 doctors think it's Obito's. The same doctors believe: Obito was a she, Obito died fighting Kyuubi, and Obito and Kakashi were an item of sorts. What I don't get is the correlation between the eye and events. If the enemy were Kyuubi, there's not much Kakashi could gain having the eye. Can't copy and Kyuubi jutsus. That makes me question whether it's kyuubi.

Oh well, I'm happy having to wait. The longer it goes, and the more hints that are dropped, the better. I loved the little segue in 80 where Kakashi was at the memorial rock.
