Background / History

Obito was formerly Kakashi Hatake's teammate and was believed to have died as a Konoha hero. Kakashi later identifies the masked Uchiha as Obito, noting that Obito gave him his Sharingan and supposedly died in front of him. 66

He remains deeply attached to Nohara Rin, visiting her grave daily and vowing to create a world without war. His grief and resentment toward Kakashi are central to his actions; he calls Kakashi “trash” for failing to protect Rin. 39 62

Before openly resurfacing, Obito operated from the shadows under the identity of “Uchiha Madara.” He monitored Uchiha Itachi after having killed one of Itachi's teammates and witnessing Itachi awaken the Sharingan. 39 41

Appearance

Obito usually conceals his identity behind a mask, exposing only one Sharingan. When his mask is removed, his face is visibly damaged, with Shisui describing half of it as ghost-like. 54 87 100

• Orange mask during his early appearances and surveillance of Konoha. 54
• One visible Mangekyō Sharingan with a dart-shaped pattern. 54
• Wears a mask even after his identity becomes known through wanted notices. 113

Personality

Obito is contemptuous of Konohagakure and seeks to replace the existing world with one of his own design. His stated ideal is a world without war, but he pursues it through manipulation, violence, and the collection of Tailed Beasts for the Eye of the Moon Plan. 39 62 113

He is highly emotional beneath his detached persona. Hyuga Makoto's references to Rin, his past, and his reliance on hiding provoke him into anger and reckless attacks. 63 64 113

Despite his ruthlessness, Obito initially hesitates at Uchiha Itachi's proposal to eradicate the entire Uchiha clan. He considers leaving survivors useful for distracting Konoha and later treats the crisis as an opportunity to harvest Sharingan rather than simply destroy the clan. 73 74

Abilities & Skills

Mangekyō Sharingan

Obito possesses a Mangekyō Sharingan with a distinctive dart-like pattern, granting him powerful ocular techniques and genjutsu. 54

• Used genjutsu to control Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura and drive Kirigakure's Bloody Mist Policy. 96 100
• Its activation enables Izanagi, allowing Obito to survive an otherwise fatal explosion. 76
• His eye-based spatial ability is suspected by Kakashi to be the source of his exceptional space-time ninjutsu. 95

Kamui

Obito's principal combat technique is a space-time ninjutsu that distorts space, lets him phase through attacks, and allows him to retreat into a separate dimension. 63 75

• Can hide within another dimension and become intangible to ordinary attacks. 63 75
• Can attempt to absorb opponents into the Kamui dimension. 65 67
• Hyuga Makoto's Byakugan/Tenseigan can perceive his spatial movements and counter his transitions, severely limiting Kamui's advantage against him. 63 65 75
• Kamui failed to incapacitate Makoto, whose Curse Mark and spatial understanding allowed him to resist and counterattack. 65 67

Wood Release

Obito can use Wood Release in direct combat. 75

• Combined Wood Release with Kamui in an attempt to overwhelm Hyuga Makoto. 75
• His Wood Release is considered notably weaker than the version demonstrated by Makoto's clone body. 86

Combat Proficiency

Obito supplements his ocular techniques with close-range weapons and surprise attacks.

• Uses chains launched from his sleeves during combat. 64 75
• Uses black rods in ambushes. 52

• Nohara Rin — The person Obito mourns daily; his desire to create a world without war is tied to her death. 62 113
• Black Zetsu — Intelligence partner and manipulator who pushes Obito toward Akatsuki's broader objectives while withholding information about Kaguya and the Ōtsutsuki. 36 73 113
• White Zetsu — Companion who provides reconnaissance and regularly teases Obito about Kakashi and his decisions. 36 39 73

• Hyuga Makoto — Persistent enemy whose Byakugan/Tenseigan repeatedly exposes and counters Kamui; Makoto injures Obito, reveals his identity, and becomes the target of Obito's hatred. 63 75 100 113
• Karatachi Yagura — Fourth Mizukage controlled by Obito's genjutsu, making Obito responsible for Kirigakure's Bloody Mist Policy. 96 100
• Nagato — Key component of the Eye of the Moon Plan due to Madara's Rinnegan; Obito considers Nagato essential to restoring the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. 111 113

Cemetery Confrontation

While mourning Rin at Konoha's cemetery, Obito is detected by Makoto. Naruto's Nine-Tails reacts to his presence, allowing Makoto to connect him to the Nine-Tails incident and the Akatsuki's interest in Tailed Beasts. 62 63
