Background / History

Obito previously encountered Masaki Uchiha during the Third Shinobi World War, when Masaki’s emergency-response unit rescued Kakashi’s team. Masaki told him that his sensory ability allowed him to remember the chakra of those he had encountered. 132

Following the Nine-Tails Incident, Obito operated under the identity of “Madara.” Konoha issued a Ninja World wanted order for Uchiha Madara, leaving Obito confused that the village believed Madara to be alive. He subsequently chose to lie low rather than confront Masaki directly. 57 62

He later intervened in the Mist–Konoha conflict as a mercenary supposedly hired by the Fourth Mizukage. Seeking Uchiha Fugaku’s Mangekyō Sharingan, he fought Fugaku and Shisui, revealing both his Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan. 85

Appearance

Obito conceals his identity beneath a mask and dark robe. His mask changes after recovering his second eye.

  • Initially wears a mask exposing only one eye. 101 114
  • Later uses a mask with openings for both identical Mangekyō Sharingan. 128
  • Can merge with Afei, restoring lost body parts and altering his combat capabilities. 86

Personality

Obito is calculating and pragmatic, regularly forming temporary alliances to gain the power needed to eliminate Masaki Uchiha. He recruits specialists such as Hiruko, bargains with the Otsutsuki Clan, and moves to resurrect Uchiha Madara ahead of schedule when Masaki’s strength becomes too dangerous to ignore. 104 113

Despite his ruthless actions, he has visible attachments. He cannot initially bring himself to kill Kakashi during their confrontation, and he repeatedly supports Uchiha Nameless even after learning that she secretly marked him with Yachihoko. 114 120

His confidence rises sharply after recovering both Sharingan, but he remains wary of enemies who can counter Kamui or overpower him. Masaki’s Limited Space Barrier, Shisui’s genjutsu, and Otsutsuki Yiren’s hostility each force him to reassess his plans. 86 110 133

Abilities & Skills

Mangekyō Sharingan and Kamui

Obito’s primary dōjutsu allows him to phase through attacks, absorb targets, and transport himself through space.

  • Phases his body to let physical attacks, ninjutsu, and the Hyuga elder’s Rotation pass through him. 85 103
  • Absorbs Amaterasu with his right eye and attempts to absorb both Fugaku and Shisui. 85
  • Uses Kamui to infiltrate Konoha, escape pursuit, and steal Kakashi’s Sharingan. 104 120
  • With both eyes restored, gains vastly greater versatility and access to Double Kamui. 128
  • The Limited Space Barrier severely suppresses his technique; he estimates his strength falls below one-tenth while it remains active. 133
  • Forcing Kamui beyond its limits causes severe ocular pain and bleeding. 134

Wood Release

Through his altered body, Obito can employ Wood Release techniques in combat.

  • Uses Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique to bind Fugaku’s Susanoo and absorb its chakra. 85
  • Uses Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique against Shisui. 85
  • Creates a giant Wood Release golem after merging with Afei. 86
  • Produces branches from the ground to attack Kakashi during their battle. 120

Afei Fusion and White Zetsu Cells

Afei can merge with Obito to repair his damaged body and strengthen his combat condition.

  • Restores the arm severed by Fugaku’s attack. 86
  • Supports his use of Wood Release and lets him recover from injuries that would otherwise compromise him. 86
  • White Zetsu Cells prevent the blindness normally associated with repeated Mangekyō Sharingan use. 128

Izanagi

Obito knows the forbidden Uchiha dōjutsu Izanagi.

  • Uses it to negate Shisui’s genjutsu and survive its effects. 86
  • Each use blinds an eye; Shisui identifies Obito’s concealed left eye as having gone blind after activation. 86

Genjutsu Resistance

Obito possesses considerable willpower, but Shisui’s Mangekyō genjutsu remains a major threat.

  • Endures Shisui’s mental torture and retains consciousness long enough to proclaim himself Uchiha Madara. 86
  • Is nearly overwhelmed by Shisui’s Sharingan genjutsu and later relies on Izanagi to escape it. 85 86

Equipment / Items

  • Mask — conceals his identity; later modified to reveal both Mangekyō Sharingan. 101 128
  • Kakashi’s Sharingan — reclaimed from Kakashi during the attack on the Hatake compound. 120
  • Byakugan pair — stolen from a Hyuga elder and exchanged with the Otsutsuki Clan for assistance against Konoha. 104
  • Kunai — used in close-quarters combat against Kakashi. 120

Relationships

  • Uchiha Nameless — ally and fellow Akatsuki member. Obito supports her, but is disturbed to learn she secretly marked him with Yachihoko. 113 114
  • Zetsu — intelligence source and strategic collaborator. Zetsu advises Obito to reclaim Kakashi’s eye and helps organize Akatsuki’s retreats and plans. 114 131 134
  • Hatake Kakashi — former comrade and holder of Obito’s missing Sharingan. Obito hesitates to kill him, then steals the eye during their battle. 120
  • Uchiha Madara — Obito acts under Madara’s name and seeks Madara’s early resurrection as a counterweight to Masaki Uchiha. 57 113
  • Masaki Uchiha — principal enemy. Masaki recognizes Obito as the perpetrator of the Nine-Tails Incident and repeatedly frustrates his schemes. 132 133
  • Uchiha Shisui — dangerous opponent whose Mangekyō genjutsu nearly kills Obito and forces him to use Izanagi. 85 86
  • Uchiha Fugaku — target of Obito’s attempt to acquire another Mangekyō Sharingan; Fugaku severs Obito’s arm during their battle. 85
  • Otsutsuki Yiren — uneasy ally. Obito provides Byakugan in exchange for aid, but becomes distrustful after Yiren’s demands and hostility. 104 110
  • Pain / Nagato — Akatsuki leader and necessary ally against Masaki. Their relationship is strained by Obito’s secrecy and Pain’s desire to act immediately. 114 131

Story Role / Major Arcs

Mist Conflict

Obito emerges as “Madara” during the Mist offensive, saves the injured Mizukage from Amaterasu, and engages Fugaku and Shisui. He fails to secure Fugaku’s eyes and is forced to use Izanagi after falling prey to Shisui’s genjutsu. 85 86

Alliance with the Otsutsuki Clan

After seeking power capable of challenging Masaki, Obito steals a Hyuga elder’s Byakugan and trades it to the lunar Otsutsuki. Their attempted operation against Konoha fails when Masaki intercepts them, leaving Obito increasingly distrustful of his new allies. 103 104 107 110

Akatsuki Reinforcement

Alarmed by Masaki’s Rinnegan and expanding power, Obito accelerates the plan to revive Madara and recruits Hiruko for his expertise with forbidden techniques. He also discovers Uchiha Nameless’s Yachihoko mark on himself and decides that reclaiming his missing eye is essential. 113 114

Recovery of Kakashi’s Eye

Obito infiltrates the Hatake compound and battles Kakashi. Though he could kill Kakashi, he chooses to take back the Sharingan instead, escaping before Sarutobi Hiruzen can stop him. 120

Battle at Akatsuki’s Base

With both Mangekyō Sharingan restored, Obito joins Akatsuki’s ambush of Masaki in the Land of Rain. The Limited Space Barrier neutralizes most of his Kamui, and Masaki’s Kirin devastates the group’s forces. 128 132 133

Obito ultimately combines his ocular power with chakra supplied by Uchiha Nameless to force open a portal to an alternate dimension. Akatsuki escapes through it after Konan delays Masaki with the Paper Person of God Technique. 134

Alternate-Dimension Flight

After crossing dimensions, Obito encounters revived versions of the First through Fourth Hokage. He falsely portrays himself and Akatsuki as a peace-seeking organization fleeing a demon named Masaki Uchiha. 135

Return to the Ninja World

After Masaki becomes Supreme Leader, Obito returns with those who had fled the Ninja World. They take Masaki’s son hostage and force Masaki through a portal opened by Obito. 167
