Background
Obito was once a Konoha shinobi assigned to Team Minato alongside Kakashi Hatake and Nohara Rin. He was openly infatuated with Rin, keeping a Team Minato photograph with Kakashi's face covered and eagerly anticipating missions because they let him spend time with her. His jealousy of Haori begins when he learns that Haori had spent time with Rin before relaying his mission notice. 3
After being critically injured, Obito is brought to Madara by White Zetsu. Madara saves him because he sees Obito's kind-hearted nature and awakened Sharingan as qualities that could make him useful. Once awake, Obito insists on returning to Konoha despite Madara's efforts to convince him that his sacrifice was meaningless. 13 28
His outlook darkens after he is not recognized by Kakashi and Rin. The resulting emotional turmoil awakens his Mangekyō Sharingan and deepens his resentment toward his former teammates, Haori, and the world he believes has taken everything from him. 53 93
Appearance
Obito operates as a masked rogue ninja, concealing his identity while using his Sharingan and space-time ninjutsu.
- Wears a black robe while on covert operations. 100
- Uses a spiral-patterned mask with a single eyehole for his Sharingan. 100 155
- His recovered body is described as colder and more composed than in his youth. 59
- Frequently suffers severe arm injuries or deliberately severs an arm to escape enemy marks and attacks. 109 128 141
Personality
Obito begins as an emotional and easily embarrassed young shinobi whose affection for Rin strongly shapes his choices. He is competitive with Kakashi and bitterly jealous of Haori, especially when he believes either has taken something that should have belonged to him. 3 180
Following Madara's intervention and repeated defeats, he becomes colder, more hostile, and increasingly obsessed with recognition, revenge, and creating a new world under his control. He justifies targeting Rin as a form of “mercy,” believing that the world around him is false and that she can be restored in the world he intends to create. 127
Despite his anger, Obito repeatedly acknowledges his own weakness after failures against Haori, Minato, Kakashi, Shisui, and Hikari. His response is usually to seek another source of power rather than abandon his ambitions. 111 141 201

- White Zetsu cells erupt through his body when his Mangekyō awakens. 53

Story Role / Major Arcs
Madara's Candidate
Madara selects the critically injured Obito as a potential pawn due to his Sharingan and perceived purity. Obito survives, but his desire to return to Konoha and later emotional collapse make him increasingly vulnerable to manipulation. 13 28 53

Obito allies with Danzo and Orochimaru to pursue the destruction of the Uchiha clan. He later targets rare bloodlines in Kirigakure, fights Kakashi and Shisui, and is trapped in his own Kamui Dimension by Haori. 97 100 101
Search for Greater Power
After repeated defeats, Obito seeks natural chakra in Rōran and considers the possibility that Haori is another version of himself. He spends three years training, developing Wood Release and returning to active conflict with stronger abilities. 111 114 141
Akatsuki Escalation
Obito recruits Orochimaru, collaborates with Itachi, seeks Madara's resurrection, and repeatedly attempts to destabilize or infiltrate Konoha. His actions are consistently driven by the need to surpass Haori and reclaim what he believes was stolen from him. 123 149 201 224
Eye of the Moon Plan
Obito gathers chakra for the Ten-Tails, obtains the Rinnegan, and becomes the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki to activate the Eye of the Moon Plan.
