Background / History
Obito was once known to Kakashi Hatake as Uchiha Obito. Kakashi believed him to have died at Kannabi Bridge after being crushed beneath a boulder and inheriting Obito’s Sharingan. When his identity is exposed, Obito rejects that past outright, insisting that “Uchiha Obito died long ago.” 102
By the time of his first documented appearance, Obito operates as a masked Akatsuki mastermind. He monitors Chenshu Senju after Chenshu defeats Akatsuki members, judging Wood Release and Kamui to be a serious danger to the Eye of the Moon Plan. 70 77
His composure deteriorates as Chenshu repeatedly disrupts his plans and exposes the vulnerabilities of Kamui. Obito’s attachment to Rin Nohara remains a decisive emotional weakness; mention of her enrages him, and her memory later creates the lapse that allows Chenshu to strike him down. 89 123
Appearance
Obito initially conceals himself beneath Akatsuki clothing and an orange spiral mask with a single eyehole. After Chenshu shatters the mask, the right side of his face is revealed to be heavily scarred and disfigured. 77 102
- Masked attire — Black robe patterned with red clouds and an orange one-eyed spiral mask. 77 86
- Exposed face — Dark-brown scars and wrinkled, damaged skin cover the right side of his face. 102
- Ten-Tails jinchūriki form — White hair, pale skin, scale-like markings, white spikes, tomoe markings, Truth-Seeking Orbs, and a black staff. 122
Personality
Obito is secretive, manipulative, and theatrical. He uses the identity of Madara Uchiha to intimidate the Five Kage, frames the Eye of the Moon Plan as a path to peace, and declares war while demanding Naruto Uzumaki’s surrender. 100 101
He is also intensely prideful. Chenshu’s ability to read Kamui’s weaknesses and repeatedly overpower him provokes escalating shock, rage, and desperation. When his plans collapse, Obito abandons caution and forcibly revives the incomplete Ten-Tails rather than retreat. 88 120
Despite claiming to have discarded his former self, Obito remains emotionally vulnerable over Rin. His reaction to her name is hysterical, and a fleeting memory of her directly compromises him during battle. 89 123
Abilities & Skills
Sharingan and Kamui
Obito wields a right Sharingan capable of Kamui, a space-time technique used for dimensional travel, absorption, and intangibility.
- Materializes through spatial vortices and can retreat into the Kamui dimension. 77 86 89
- Can make his body intangible, allowing attacks, debris, and collapsing rock to pass through him harmlessly. 77 88
- Attempts to absorb Chenshu into Kamui during their cave confrontation. 87
- His Kamui clashes directly with Chenshu’s identical ocular power, creating destructive spatial interference. 87
- His intangibility is stated to have a five-minute limit. 88
- Must become solid to physically land or attack, creating a brief opening that Chenshu exploits with Flying Thunder God. 88
- Chenshu later locks the surrounding spatial coordinates with his own Mangekyō Sharingan, interrupting Obito’s escape. 101
Tailed Beast Control
Obito commands jinchūriki shells and uses them as coordinated weapons against Chenshu.
- Activates six former jinchūriki with Rinnegan-patterned eyes. 119
- Forces Yugito, Yagura, Rōshi, Han, Utakata, and Fū into full Tailed Beast transformations. 119
- Orders all six beasts to fire Tailed Beast Balls simultaneously at Chenshu. 119
- Uses the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as the vessel for the Ten-Tails’ revival. 120
Ten-Tails’ Jinchūriki Transformation
After the Ten-Tails proves difficult to control directly, Obito seals it into his own body with the Six Paths: Ten-Tails Coffin Seal. 122
- Gains rapid regeneration, restoring burns and injuries sustained before the transformation. 122
- Manifests multiple Truth-Seeking Orbs and shapes one into a black staff. 122
- Wields Ame no Nuhoko, a transformed black staff used to block Naruto and Sasuke’s combined Majestic Attire: Susanoo strike. 123
- Truth-Seeking Orbs can erase ordinary ninjutsu, but fail against attacks empowered by Senjutsu and natural energy. 123
- His transformed body is ultimately destabilized when Chenshu’s Senjutsu-infused wooden stake destroys his chakra circulation and enables the tailed beasts’ extraction. 124
Black Rod Ambush
Obito uses black rods in conjunction with his dimensional movement.
- Launches a black rod from another dimension at Chenshu’s head while Tsunade lies unconscious nearby. 86
- The rod is capable of punching deeply into solid stone. 86
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Orange spiral mask — Conceals his identity until Chenshu’s kick fractures and destroys it. 101 102
- Akatsuki robe — Black cloak marked with red clouds. 77 86
- Black rods — Used for sudden dimensional ambushes. 86
- Sealing scroll containing reserve Nine-Tails chakra — Used to force the incomplete Ten-Tails’ revival. 120
- Black staff / Ame no Nuhoko — Formed from Truth-Seeking Orbs after becoming the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki. 122 123
Relationships
- Chenshu Senju — Principal adversary. Obito identifies Chenshu as a threat to the Eye of the Moon Plan, but is repeatedly defeated after Chenshu exploits Kamui’s weaknesses and later strips him of the tailed beasts. 70 88 124
- Kakashi Hatake — Former friend who believed Obito had died at Kannabi Bridge. Kakashi recognizes him after his mask breaks, but Obito rejects his former identity. 102
- Rin Nohara — Obito remains deeply fixated on her memory; her name provokes an extreme reaction, and remembering her causes a fatal moment of hesitation against Naruto and Sasuke. 89 123
- Black Zetsu — Co-conspirator who ultimately betrays Obito, possesses his weakened body, and uses his remaining life force to revive Madara. 105 124
- Madara Uchiha — Obito impersonates Madara while advancing the Eye of the Moon Plan. After revival, Madara treats Obito as disposable and kicks his ruined body aside. 100 125
- Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha — Their combined assault creates the opening Chenshu uses to impale Obito; they later help extract the tailed beasts from his body. 123 124
Story Role / Major Arcs
Observation of Chenshu Senju
Obito observes Chenshu’s defeat of Akatsuki attackers and concludes that Chenshu’s growing power threatens the Eye of the Moon Plan. 70
After Chenshu gains Kamui, Obito appears during the aftermath of Pain’s assault on Konoha. Chenshu immediately recognizes him and attacks with long-range Kamui, while Obito assesses Chenshu’s Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan as an unacceptable danger. 77
Kamui Showdown and Tsunade Cave Ambush
Obito ambushes Chenshu in a cave where Tsunade is held unconscious under genjutsu suppression. Chenshu identifies him by name, negates his Kamui absorption attempt with an identical spatial technique, and drives him into retreat. 86 87
Chenshu uses Flying Thunder God to exploit the instant Obito must become solid to land, delivering a devastating kick. Obito escapes only after exhausting his chakra and suffering severe injuries. 88 89
Fourth Shinobi World War Declaration
Posing as Madara Uchiha, Obito interrupts the Five Kage Summit, demands Naruto Uzumaki, and officially declares the Fourth Shinobi World War. 100 101
Chenshu prevents Obito from escaping through Kamui and kicks him through multiple walls, destroying his mask and exposing his identity to Kakashi. 101 102
Ten-Tails Crisis
Obito mobilizes six controlled Tailed Beasts against Chenshu, but Chenshu’s completed True Several Thousand Hands catches their Tailed Beast Balls and hurls them back at Obito and the Demonic Statue. 119
In desperation, Obito forcefully revives the Ten-Tails with incomplete chakra. When Chenshu’s wooden Buddha cripples the beast, Obito seals it into himself and becomes its jinchūriki. 120 122
Defeat and Madara’s Revival
As the Ten-Tails’ jinchūriki, Obito is initially confident in his Truth-Seeking Orbs, but Chenshu’s Senjutsu bypasses them. Naruto and Sasuke pressure him with Majestic Attire: Susanoo, while Chenshu impales him through the chest with Senjutsu-infused wooden spikes. 123
The Allied Shinobi Forces extract the tailed beasts from Obito. Black Zetsu then possesses his body and consumes his remaining life force to revive Madara Uchiha, after which Madara discards Obito’s ruined body. 124 125
