Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Genin | 94 | Initially regarded as the weakest member of Minato's team; rushes to Kakashi's aid despite the Third Mizukage's Kage-level strength. |
| Three-Tomoe Sharingan / Chūnin-level physical strength | 94–95 | The apparent loss of Kakashi and Rin drives his Sharingan directly to Three Tomoe. The awakening greatly improves his chakra and physical ability, raising his raw strength to Chūnin level. |
| Mangekyō Sharingan / Dual Kamui | 95–98 | Awakens Kamui during the rescue crisis. Under Madara's instruction, his strength stabilizes at Kage level and advances toward Strong Kage level. |
| Strong Kage level | 108 | Rapid growth and access to Dual Kamui leave him overconfident enough to ambush Madara; White Zetsu drains his chakra and steals his left Kamui eye. |
| First-form Susanoo | 107 | With Hashirama Cells and improved nutrition, he manifests the first form of Susanoo before Madara orders him to infiltrate Amegakure. |
| Tailed Beast Curse Mark | 114 | Returns to Konoha having received a Tailed Beast Curse Mark and retaining Kamui, though he conceals the loss of his other Kamui eye behind a mask. |

Background
Obito was one of Namikaze Minato's three disciples alongside Kakashi and Rin Nohara. Within the team, he was the Uchiha “dead last,” while Kakashi was the prodigy; nevertheless, Obito's connection to both teammates was central to him. He was especially infatuated with Rin, becoming visibly flustered whenever she treated him warmly. 45 61
During Kirigakure's attack on Konoha, Obito witnessed Kakashi suffer a fatal-looking wound and saw Rin abducted. Refusing to abandon either teammate, he awakened a Three-Tomoe Sharingan and pursued Rin alone. Although his new strength rose to Chūnin level, he was badly injured and could not save her without Uchiha Aoi and Inuzuka Bon's intervention. 94 95
After the Third Mizukage took him away, Obito awoke in an underground cavern with Uchiha Madara, who claimed to have saved him. Believing Kakashi and Rin dead, Obito accepted Madara's teachings and rapidly developed his Kamui, Izanagi, Yin-Yang Release knowledge, and familiarity with Black and White Zetsu. Aoi's earlier observation that White Zetsu had regenerated the Mizukage's severed hand eventually made Obito suspect Madara's involvement in the entire tragedy. 98
Obito covertly turned against Madara and attempted an ambush. The attempt failed: White Zetsu drained his chakra, tore out his left Kamui Sharingan, and delivered it to Madara. Obito escaped into the Kamui Dimension with a replacement Three-Tomoe eye, recognized that his arrogance had cost him a decisive advantage, and chose to pursue Madara's target, Nagato, rather than return directly to Konoha. 108
He later rescued the unconscious Yahiko from the Kamui Dimension and returned to Konoha, where he learned that Kakashi and Rin had survived. He accepted responsibility for Madara gaining Kamui and rejoined Konoha's side for the War of Unification. 102 113 114
Appearance
Obito initially wears goggles and is frequently portrayed with an open, easily embarrassed expression around Rin. After losing his left Kamui eye, he adopts a tiger-striped mask that leaves only his right eye visible. 61 108 115
- Grew taller after receiving Hashirama Cells and sustained nutrition. 107
- Uses goggles before adopting his mask. 108 115
- Keeps his lost Kamui eye secret by covering his face with the tiger-striped mask. 115
Personality
Obito begins as cheerful, impulsive, and insecure about being the weakest member of his team. He is deeply attached to his comrades, particularly Rin, and his refusal to abandon Kakashi's body or give up on rescuing Rin directly triggers his Sharingan's evolution. 61 94
The losses he believes he suffered make him susceptible to Madara's teachings on war and the Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, he matures while under Madara's control: rather than openly confronting the mastermind after connecting him to White Zetsu, he conceals his suspicions and continues learning. 98
His failed ambush exposes a recurring flaw—overconfidence after sudden growth. Obito harshly blames himself for losing Kamui and for failing to return vital intelligence to Konoha, but he ultimately recommits himself to protecting his friends and pursuing the Hokage dream. 108 114 116
