Background / History

Obito was believed to have died after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, when a boulder crushed and destroyed his right side. Madara replaced the damaged half with White Zetsu tissue cultivated using Hashirama cells, then brainwashed Obito into acting under Madara's identity. 4

The trauma of witnessing Kakashi kill Rin shattered Obito emotionally. He became the masked man behind the Nine-Tails Incident, causing Minato and Kushina's deaths, and sought to gather all nine Tailed Beasts. He also controlled the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, through genjutsu. 4 5

While operating from the Mist Village, Obito kept a low profile and manipulated events from the shadows, waiting for opportunities to exploit instability around Konoha. 12 13

Minato, Kushina, Rin, and Shi Xiu eventually confronted him in the Land of Water. Rin recognized him despite his mask, while Minato wounded him with a Rasengan before Obito revealed his identity. 17 18

Rin's plea to return home, Kushina's comfort, and Minato's apology broke through Obito's resolve. After Shi Xiu exposed Black Zetsu's centuries-long manipulation, Obito rejected the Eye of the Moon Plan and chose to return to Konoha to atone for his crimes. 19 20

A curse seal embedded in Obito's heart later caused him to collapse. Shi Xiu removed his heart so Rin could extract the seal and transplant it back; the operation stabilized his breathing and saved his life. 23 24

After recovering, Obito assisted Shi Xiu against Black Zetsu's plans. He accompanied Shi Xiu to the Mist Village, killed attacking Mist shinobi, helped locate Yagura, and used Kamui to imprison Yagura and Isobu in a dimensional space. 35 36 38

Personality

As the masked man, Obito is bitter, volatile, and consumed by grief. He blames Minato for failing to save him and the rest of Team 7, and his anger is rooted in the loss of Rin and his belief that the world had betrayed him. 18

Despite his cruelty, Obito retains deep attachment to Rin, Minato, and Konoha. Rin's trust and Minato's willingness to accept responsibility cause him to break down in guilt rather than continue fighting. 19 20

Following Black Zetsu's exposure, Obito becomes resolute about redemption. He remains awkward and hesitant around Rin, but his affection for her is evident in his embarrassment, attentiveness, and efforts to prepare a birthday gift for her. 21 31 44
