Background / History
In Konoha Year 49, Obito successfully released the Nine-Tails and killed his master, prompting Konoha to place the Uchiha compound under close surveillance. 86
He later became the masked figure within Akatsuki, usually presenting himself as the unserious “Tobi” around its members while revealing a far more calculating demeanor to Zetsu. He also used Genjutsu to control Kirigakure’s Mizukage as a puppet, showing little concern for the village’s losses. 238 336
Obito publicly adopted the identity of Uchiha Madara. He used the name to impress and recruit Uchiha Itachi, offering to train him in awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan; Itachi rejected both the recruitment attempt and Obito’s claim to be Madara. 354 358
Appearance
Obito typically conceals himself beneath a one-eyed mask and Akatsuki’s black cloak patterned with red clouds. His masks change over time, including an orange spiral mask and a later white mask marked by unusual patterns beneath the eyes. 354 364 429
- One exposed Sharingan is visible through his early orange mask. 354 364
- After reclaiming Kakashi’s eye, he possesses a complete pair of Mangekyo Sharingan. 427 438
- His body includes White Zetsu-derived tissue, visible when he detaches an impaired hand with little blood loss. 454
- Orochimaru’s venom shatters his mask late in the war, revealing a face Kakashi recognizes as largely unchanged from their youth. 540
Personality
Obito is intensely secretive and manipulative. He cultivates a frivolous Tobi persona within Akatsuki, yet makes cold strategic decisions when dealing with Zetsu, Nagato, and the wider Ninja World. 238 430
His pursuit of the Moon Eye plan is obsessive. He treats allies as pieces necessary to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi, agreeing to place the weakened Nagato at risk and focusing on the plan rather than Nagato’s condition after obtaining Shukaku’s chakra. 430 532
Despite this ruthlessness, Obito retains emotional attachments to Kakashi and Madara. He takes Kakashi’s eye but deliberately leaves Kakashi alive, and later uses his own body to shield Madara from Orochimaru’s attack. 427 429 540
Abilities & Skills
Mangekyo Sharingan: Kamui
Obito’s signature space-time technique lets him transfer parts of his body into Kamui Space, making incoming attacks pass through him.
- Phases his body to avoid blades, wires, Chakra Scalpels, Rasengan, and lethal strikes. 240 414
- Teleports directly to visible locations and through obstructed terrain by existing between dimensions. 403
- Uses the technique to infiltrate Konoha Hospital and attempt Han’s capture. 364
- With both eyes, generates multiple spatial vortices capable of repelling and redirecting mass projectile attacks. 438
- Cannot reliably lock onto extremely fast targets for direct spatial severing. 462
- Kamui Space becomes vulnerable once opponents place Flying Thunder God markers inside it. 463 464
Sharingan Genjutsu
Obito can use his three-tomoe Sharingan to cast powerful illusions and control targets.
- Traps Xing Ran in a stable blood-red Genjutsu space during their first encounter. 241
- Uses Genjutsu to manipulate several Root ninja and intensify the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha. 364
- Controls Kirigakure’s Mizukage as a puppet. 336
Wood Style
Obito uses Wood Style for sudden, close-range attacks and battlefield control.
- Forms Wood Spikes capable of piercing through targets and producing further spikes from within. 426
- Combines Wood Style with Kamui to pressure Kakashi after losing the ability to rely on normal hand-seal ninjutsu. 426
- Uses Wood Style: Piercing Technique to shatter Xing Ran’s ice prison around Gaara. 454
- Creates Wood Release Shadow Clones to defend and occupy Kamui Space. 464
Susanoo
After recovering his second Mangekyo Sharingan, Obito can manifest a sky-blue, winged Susanoo.
- Its wings allow him to pursue airborne targets despite lacking personal flight. 455
- Shields him from Mu’s Dust Release and Xing Ran’s Multiplying Explosive Tags long enough to escape into Kamui Space. 455 464
- Uses Kamui Shuriken as a ranged spatial attack. 462
- Its defenses can be breached by Xing Ran’s Steel Body-enhanced taijutsu. 461
Izanagi
Obito possesses the forbidden Uchiha technique Izanagi, which converts fatal outcomes into illusion at the cost of a Sharingan.
- Uses it to survive Konan’s explosive-tag assault. 534
- The technique leaves one of his Sharingan permanently dim and unusable. 534
Space-Time and Temporal Travel
Obito’s understanding of space-time ninjutsu extends beyond Kamui.
- Uses Kamui Space to move himself, allies, captives, and equipment across the battlefield. 403 533
- Travels through the Dragon Vein into the past, using Shukaku’s sealing box as an anchor, then returns with the One-Tails’ chakra. 532
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Masks — Uses an orange spiral mask and later a white patterned mask to conceal his identity. 354 364 429
- Akatsuki cloak — Wears the organization’s black robe with red clouds. 364
- Kunai — Employs kunai during close combat. 240
- Wooden box containing Shukaku’s chakra — Used as the anchor for his Dragon Vein time-travel attempt and later presented to Nagato. 532
- White Zetsu-derived limbs — Replaces lost body parts with White Zetsu tissue. 430 454
Relationships
- Kakashi Hatake — Former close friend to whom Obito gave a Sharingan; they become enemies, and Obito later reclaims the eye while sparing Kakashi’s life. 426 427 429
- Rin Nohara — Her death and Kakashi’s perceived failure to protect her form a central part of Obito’s justification for remaking the Ninja World. 364 426
- Uchiha Madara — Obito adopts Madara’s name and advances his revival plan; he ultimately shields Madara from Orochimaru’s attack. 354 533 540
- Zetsu — Long-time partner and intelligence source; Zetsu helps execute Obito’s high-risk plans, though Obito becomes increasingly wary of him. 353 465 523
- Nagato — Akatsuki’s leader and a necessary component of Obito’s plan, but also a frequent political rival whom Obito is willing to endanger. 353 430 532
- Konan — Nagato’s protector and one of Obito’s strongest internal opponents; her attack costs Obito a Sharingan. 430 534
- Uchiha Itachi — Obito tries to recruit and train Itachi as a future Akatsuki subordinate, but Itachi remains distrustful. 354 358
- Yamanaka Xing Ran — Persistent enemy whose speed, strategy, and clones repeatedly disrupt Obito’s operations and expose weaknesses in Kamui and Susanoo. 414 461 464
Story Role / Major Arcs
Recruitment of Itachi and the Uchiha Crisis
Obito approaches Itachi under the name Uchiha Madara, attempts to lure him with Mangekyo Sharingan training, and seeks to turn him into an Akatsuki asset. 354 358
During the Uchiha–Konoha confrontation, he exploits the chaos to provoke war and harvest Sharingan from expected casualties. His attempt to seize the Five-Tails jinchuriki Han fails when several Kage-level fighters are present in the hospital. 364
Battle with Kakashi
During the conflict against the Allied Shinobi Forces, Obito’s confrontation with Kakashi exposes their shared history. He uses Wood Style and Kamui to overwhelm Kakashi, escapes Kakashi’s own Kamui, and removes the Sharingan from Kakashi’s eye socket. 426 427
Akatsuki Power Struggles
With both Sharingan restored, Obito presses for immediate execution of the Moon Eye plan. He clashes politically with Orochimaru, Konan, and Nagato, and is willing to risk Nagato’s life in exchange for Orochimaru’s Impure World Reincarnation knowledge. 430 431
Hunt for the One-Tails
Obito targets Gaara and Shukaku, breaking through Xing Ran’s ice defenses and fighting Mu’s Dust Release. Mu escapes with Gaara, while Xing Ran’s intervention repeatedly damages Obito’s Susanoo and forces him into retreat. 454 455 461
Obito counters Xing Ran’s infiltration of Kamui Space by sealing the dimension with a White Zetsu clone, trapping Xing Ran’s clones inside. 464
Dragon Vein Gamble and Infinite Tsukuyomi
After Akatsuki’s position worsens, Obito travels through the Dragon Vein to acquire Shukaku’s chakra from the past. He returns to his own timeline and gives Nagato the chakra needed to advance the Moon Eye plan. 523 532
Konan’s retaliation severely weakens him and destroys one Sharingan, but Obito uses Izanagi to survive and secures Nagato’s Rinnegan. He subsequently uses Otsutsuki Sora as the vessel for Madara’s resurrection. 534 535
When Xing Ran reveals himself as both the Fifth Hokage and the Revival Alliance’s leader, Obito becomes hysterical at the scale of the deception. He later sacrifices himself to block Orochimaru’s attack on Madara, allowing Madara to activate Infinite Tsukuyomi. 539 540
