Obito

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Obito was a low-ranking student who needed several attempts to pass the Genin exam. During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato and Kushina helped him train, including in water walking and tree climbing 6 16.

The narrative identifies a different course of events in the original history: Iwagakure crippled half of Obito’s body, and he later became responsible for the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Uchiha massacre, and his master’s death. The war in the present story breaks out early because of the changes surrounding the rankings 6.

Personality

Obito is confident and competitive, especially where Kakashi is concerned. He initially dreamed that awakening his Sharingan would let him surpass both Kakashi and Shisui, and he readily called himself an Uchiha genius after awakening three tomoe 2 11 34.

He cares deeply about his teammates. He vowed to protect Rin and was reduced to tears by the revelation of her future as the Three-Tails’ Jinchūriki. He also chose to revive Kakashi’s father, while insisting that his choice was only because he admired Sakumo 7 10 21.

Obito wants to become Hokage and change the war-torn shinobi world. His kindness has earned him praise from Konoha’s elderly villagers, whom he helps in everyday life 21 30 36.

Story Role and Major Arcs

The pair defeat Kakuzu, and Obito returns Kakashi’s 10,000 gold coins after collecting his winnings 25 28.
