Background
Obito participated in the Uchiha clan massacre alongside Itachi, controlling an Anbu attacker and personally seeking surviving Uchiha. When Su Ye awakened the Rinne Sharingan, Obito immediately took an interest in the new dojutsu and considered handing the eyes to “Lord Madara” for study. He allowed Su Ye an opportunity to escape, but remained determined to find him again. 1 2
Years before the main conflict, Obito approached Nagato under the guise of Madara’s proxy. He used the promise of world peace to influence Nagato into forming Akatsuki, while concealing the actual purpose of the Eye of the Moon Plan: reviving the Ten-Tails and using Infinite Tsukuyomi to control the world. 20
He also played a central role in the conspiracy behind the Uchiha extermination, exploiting Itachi’s desire to protect Sasuke and helping force Itachi into the role of a disgraced rogue ninja. 21
Appearance
Obito is initially concealed behind a mask, with a single visible scarlet eye. During the confrontation in the desert, he wears an orange mask and a black trench coat. 2 14
- His exposed eye is described as a Sharingan early on, while later battles identify a right Rinne Sharingan or Rinnegan. 2 11 18
- He wears red-cloud robes while meeting with Danzo at the Root base. 10
- After returning through the Dark Organization, he wears black robes and bears black markings on his face. 47
- At Cloud Thunder Gorge, his left eye becomes dark purple and develops the Lord of the Void’s pattern due to the Void Cursed Seal. 49
Personality
Obito is calculating, curious about rare ocular powers, and willing to manipulate others for his goals. His early interest in Su Ye’s Rinne Sharingan is driven less by immediate murder than by a desire to understand and obtain the eyes. 2
He is also ruthless toward subordinates and allies. He deceives Nagato into forming Akatsuki, uses Sasuke as bait against Itachi, and sacrifices Nagato to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to ensure his own escape. 18 20 21
His obsession with revenge later makes him vulnerable to the Dark Organization’s influence. Although he knowingly accepts being used as a pawn, he ultimately regains clarity when Su Ye confronts him with the consequences of revenge and memories of Rin. 47 49
Abilities & Skills
Kamui
Obito’s primary combat technique is a space-time ninjutsu that allows him to become intangible, teleport, create spatial rifts, and transport targets into the Kamui dimension.
- Avoids direct attacks by making his body intangible. 14 18
- Teleports himself and others across battlefields, including evacuating the Raikage and Killer B during the Void Realm attack. 33
- Creates large-scale spatial disturbances and rifts. 14
- Can be disrupted when opponents identify the spatial mechanics of Kamui; Su Ye repeatedly injures him through its intangibility. 14 18 23
Limbo: Border Jail
Using Rinnegan power, Obito creates invisible black phantoms capable of independently attacking opponents.
- Deploys five phantoms alongside his main body against Su Ye. 11
- Arms the phantoms with black iron rods. 11
- Uses Limbo shadows to block incoming projectiles during Su Ye’s escape. 2

- Uses black chakra receivers to attack and control targets. 17
- Creates and controls a Truth-Seeking Orb. 14
- Summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. 18
- Controls the statue’s chakra tentacles and uses it in conjunction with Nagato. 18
Akatsuki Forces and Strategy

- Employs shadow clones and false locations to lure Itachi’s group into traps. 22
- Exploits Sasuke’s desire for revenge to target Nagato’s Rinnegan. 23
Void Cursed Seal
After his return, Obito gains Void-based power through a seal placed on him by Orochimaru.
- Uses a prototype Infinite Tsukuyomi to trap Su Ye in an illusion involving Uchiha spirits. 47
- Summons Void Remnants to attack Su Ye. 47
- Activates the seal to open a massive Void rift at Cloud Thunder Gorge. 49
- The seal’s power is ultimately purified by Su Ye’s Six Paths Immortal Bones. 49
Relationships
- Su Ye — Initially hunts Su Ye for his Rinne Sharingan and repeatedly clashes with him over the Eye of the Moon Plan. Later assists Su Ye’s side against the Void Realm, sacrifices himself to buy time against Gen, then returns as a Void-corrupted enemy before Su Ye purifies him. 2 18 34 47 49
- Uchiha Itachi — Co-participant in the Uchiha clan massacre; Obito pressures Itachi during the operation and later uses Sasuke to lure him into a trap. 2 21 22
- Nagato — Manipulates Nagato into founding Akatsuki through false promises of peace, then sacrifices him to the Demonic Statue to escape Su Ye. 18 20
- Madara — Claims to act as Madara’s proxy and seeks to advance Madara’s Eye of the Moon Plan; Madara later dismisses Obito as incompetent while freeing him from Su Ye and Itachi’s sealing arrows. 20 24
- Sasuke Uchiha — Uses Sasuke as bait and manipulates his revenge, but Sasuke ultimately turns against him. Before his apparent sacrifice against Gen, Obito entrusts the Uchiha to Sasuke. 21 24 34
- Orochimaru — The Dark Organization saves Obito after his apparent death and uses him as a pawn through the Void Cursed Seal. 47 49
- Rin — Obito recalls Rin while being purified and apologizes to her before vanishing. 49
Story Role / Major Arcs
Uchiha Clan Massacre
Obito helps carry out the massacre and seeks to eliminate Su Ye after discovering his Rinne Sharingan. Su Ye escapes by swapping positions with Obito through Heavenly Hand Power, leaving Obito deeply interested in the boy’s future growth. 1 2
Root and Akatsuki Conspiracy
At Danzo’s Root base, Obito collaborates in experiments involving Pain-like corpses intended to grant “true” Rinnegan power. He battles Su Ye with Limbo, but retreats after Su Ye severs his connection to the phantoms and breaks Danzo’s sealing attempt. 10 11
Tailed Beast Hunt

Void Realm War and Sacrifice
Obito later aids the Allied Forces by gathering intelligence, evacuating the Raikage and Killer B, and supporting the defense against the Void Realm. At the Uchiha ancestral grounds, he uses Kamui to shield Su Ye, Sasuke, and Naruto during the Three-Color Rinne Void Seal’s activation, sacrificing himself to delay Gen. 33 34
Return and Purification
The Dark Organization restores Obito, who embraces Void power to pursue revenge against Su Ye and the ninja world. He activates the Void Cursed Seal at Cloud Thunder Gorge, but Su Ye purifies the corruption and convinces him that revenge only creates further suffering. Obito apologizes to Rin, asks Su Ye to protect the world, and vanishes as the Void rift closes. 47 49
