Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Madara targeted Obito for his strong attachment to others and arranged for him to be believed dead after the mission at Shen Wubi Bridge. Obito survived with White Zetsu material replacing part of his body, but refused to join Madara’s plan even when Ryobu tortured him and threatened Rin 3 44 554 630.

Minato freed Obito from Tobi and Black Zetsu’s control. Back in Konoha, Obito disclosed what he knew of Madara’s Moon Eye Plan and received a controversial promotion to jonin. He continued working alongside Minato, Kakashi, and Rin 102 115 127 128 155.

Rin’s death at Kakashi’s hands devastated Obito and awakened his Mangekyō. Later accounts connect his desire for an illusion world where Rin lived to his role in the Nine-Tails attack and the deaths of Minato and Kushina. He also helped Itachi carry out the Uchiha Massacre by taking on the Police Force elites 492 631 895 923.

Appearance

White Zetsu material makes Obito’s right half-body visibly white, and his face is disfigured. In his masked Akatsuki persona, he wears a yellow spiral mask with an opening over his right eye 116 893.

• Right eye — develops a pinwheel-patterned Mangekyō Sharingan 631 881.
• Mask and uniform — conceal his identity while he presents himself as Tobi or Madara 879 881 893.

Personality

Obito values comrades above missions. As a younger Leaf shinobi, he is kind-hearted, eager for recognition, and openly devoted to Rin; even after his rescue, he refuses Kakashi’s offers to return the Sharingan he gave him because he sees it as proof of their bond 155 314 315 664.

As Tobi, he performs a playful, clownish role while concealing a guarded and manipulative strategist. References to Rin can break that composure and provoke intense anger 879 880 893.
