| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Two-Tomoe Sharingan | 301, 314 | Awakened his Sharingan before being crushed at Kannabi Bridge; his left eye was transplanted into Kakashi, while he retained the other. His perception and combat ability had already surpassed Kakashi’s. |
| White Zetsu artificial body | 309, 312 | Madara replaced the crushed half of Obito’s body with White Zetsu material, greatly changing his physiology and appearance. |
| Tobi-amplified combat state | 314 | By wearing Tobi, Obito was forcibly elevated from practical Chūnin-level strength to Kage-level power. |
| Mangekyō Sharingan | 315 | Awakened amid despair after witnessing the apparent death of Rin; gained Kamui and committed himself to Madara’s dream-world plan. |

| Truth-Seeking Orb wielder | 1391, 1393 | Commanded ten Truth-Seeking Orbs, gained extraordinary regeneration and a non-human body, and could use Yin–Yang Release to create structures. |
Background
Obito was initially a young shinobi associated with Kakashi Hatake, Nohara Rin, and Hyuga Sho. After Hyuga Sho defeated him in their youth, Obito refused to remain down despite the humiliation. 10
During the Kannabi Bridge operation, Obito was believed dead after being crushed by rocks. His surviving Sharingan was transplanted into Kakashi, while Madara recovered Obito and replaced the destroyed half of his body with White Zetsu material. 301 309 Madara intended for him to become his representative and carry out his ambitions across the ninja world. 305 307
After nearly a year underground, Obito retained his desire to reunite with Rin and Kakashi despite his altered body. White Zetsu manipulated him with news of Rin’s capture, while Madara allowed him to leave, certain that Obito would eventually return. 312 Obito then witnessed the death of a false Rin and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan in despair. He rejected reality in favor of creating a dream world where Rin could live. 315 317
Appearance
Obito’s appearance changed drastically after Madara’s treatment. Following his recovery, he grew shoulder-length hair, had one side of his face visibly flattened, and possessed a body half composed of White Zetsu creations. 312
- Often concealed his identity with an orange mask and altered voice. 331 781
- Used Tobi as a living outer covering that could wrap around and amplify him. 314 387
- Could pass publicly as an ordinary traveler while wearing a simple robe tied with a white sash. 524
- As the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki, his body lost normal human characteristics; damaged areas regenerated with rubber- or plant-like tissue. 1393
Personality
Obito was originally attached to Rin, Kakashi, and Hyuga Sho, but Madara’s manipulation and the apparent loss of Rin broke his idealism. Rather than blaming himself, he blamed the world and chose a dream reality over confronting its cruelty. 312 315
His later actions were marked by possessiveness, calculation, and cruelty. He repeatedly treated allies as disposable pieces, sought to manipulate Nagato, Konan, Orochimaru, Itachi, and the Zetsu, and planned to create a world in which Rin loved him. 319 524 617 1088 His obsession with Rin remained a central vulnerability, particularly when Hyuga Sho used her altered condition to obstruct Obito’s space-time techniques. 385 839
By the time he became the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki, Obito displayed cold indifference toward the ninja world, regarding everyone except Hyuga Sho as beneath notice. 1385 1394
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan
Obito possessed exceptional dōjutsu aptitude, progressing from Two-Tomoe Sharingan to Mangekyō Sharingan and eventually restoring both original Mangekyō eyes. 314 315 746

- Used powerful genjutsu to incapacitate multiple shinobi at once. 525

- Used Susanoo after restoring his complete Mangekyō set. 1130 1089
- Hashirama Cells prevented his frequent Mangekyō usage from rapidly blinding him. 744
Kamui
Obito’s Mangekyō ability granted access to a personal alternate dimension and allowed him to phase through attacks, teleport himself, or warp targets away. 319 331
- Could make parts of his body intangible to evade physical and ninjutsu attacks. 331 1088
- His initial close-range method required him to grab a target, leaving him vulnerable to superior taijutsu while phasing. 332
- Could teleport himself into his alternate dimension without hand seals. 319 357
- With both eyes restored, his self-warp speed doubled. 746
- Used long-range Kamui to warp away Roshi’s arm during their battle. 1089
Izanagi
Obito used the Uchiha forbidden technique Izanagi to turn lethal outcomes into illusion at the cost of a Sharingan. 338
- Escaped Hyuga Sho’s apparent killing blow by reverting to an earlier state. 338
- Later acquired enough cloned Sharingan to use Izanagi 50 more times. 419
White Zetsu and Hashirama Cell Enhancements
Madara rebuilt half of Obito’s body with White Zetsu material and implanted Hashirama Senju’s Wood Release cells. 309 312
- Granted enhanced vitality, chakra, and physical capability. 387
- Allowed him to awaken Wood Release and unleash Wood Style: Hell’s Nightmare. 385
- Raised his basic physical quality from elite Chūnin before his injury, to Jōnin after training, and then to Kage level after his cells fully awakened. 387

Six Paths Power
After gathering the Nine Tailed Beasts and becoming the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki, Obito ascended to Six Paths level. 1376 1383
- Controlled the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and used its transformation into the Ten-Tails. 1376
- Possessed immense chakra, Yin–Yang Release, and the ability to construct buildings and life-forms. 1385 1549
- Regenerated from catastrophic injuries and endured a redirected Truth-Seeking Orb explosion. 1393
- Created living forms from data using Six Paths Yin–Yang Release after the war. 1549
Truth-Seeking Orbs
As a Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki, Obito wielded ten Truth-Seeking Orbs. 1393
- Could reshape them into piercing weapons, barriers, restraints, and explosive projectiles. 1393 1401
- Normal ninjutsu was ineffective against his Six Paths body and Truth-Seeking Orbs. 1393
- The orbs could neutralize ordinary ninjutsu but could not fully negate Sage Art or taijutsu. 1393 1401
- Their effective control range was approximately 70 meters. 1393
- Hyuga Sho’s Sage Chakra-infused nuclear attacks cracked and depleted them. 1401 1403

Story Role / Major Arcs
Madara’s Pawn
After surviving Kannabi Bridge, Obito was rebuilt and indoctrinated by Madara. White Zetsu’s deception concerning Rin’s capture led him out of Madara’s underground base and toward the event that shattered his ideals. 309 312
Fall into Darkness
The apparent death of Rin awakened Obito’s Mangekyō Sharingan and convinced him to abandon reality for a dream world. He then approached Nagato under the identity of “Uchiha Madara,” beginning his involvement with Akatsuki. 315 319
Conflict with Hyuga Sho
Obito infiltrated Konoha and clashed with Hyuga Sho, whose combat analysis exposed the limitations of Kamui’s close-range use. Hyuga Sho later lured Obito out with Rin, killed him, and forced him to sacrifice a Sharingan through Izanagi. 331 332 337 338
Bloody Mist Manipulation
After awakening his Wood Release potential, Obito used genjutsu to control Yagura and the Three-Tails, then persecuted Kirigakure’s kekkei genkai families. His actions weakened the village and triggered civil war. 387 418
Akatsuki Schemes
Obito recruited and manipulated Akatsuki members while seeking tailed beasts, Sharingan, cloning research, and opportunities to weaken Nagato’s faction. He stole cloned eyes from Orochimaru, gave Hiruko a Sharingan, and recruited Itachi into Akatsuki. 419 428 869
Recovery of Twin Kamui
Obito ambushed Kakashi’s Anbu team, took back his transplanted Mangekyō eye, and restored both of his original eyes. With Twin Kamui, he improved his space-time ninjutsu and gained Susanoo. 742 746 1089
Ten-Tails Jinchūriki
An Obito from another world killed his counterpart, infiltrated Akatsuki, gathered the Nine Tailed Beasts, killed Nagato for a Rinnegan, and became the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki. He later returned to the primary world as a Six Paths-level threat. 1376 1377
Final Battle
Obito’s return forced the Five Kage and allied shinobi to unite. He overwhelmed A, tore apart the Four Red Yang Formation, and threatened the alliance with Truth-Seeking Orbs before Hyuga Sho engaged him directly. 1393 1394 1400 Hyuga Sho’s Sage Chakra-infused nuclear attacks broke through Obito’s defenses, cracked his remaining Truth-Seeking Orbs, and defeated him after the Divine Tree collapsed. 1401 1403
