Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
Single Mangekyo Sharingan 20 Already possessed Kamui and Izanagi. Itachi’s Tsukuyomi exhausted his mental energy, forced his eye out of Mangekyo state, and cost him his left Sharingan through Izanagi 20.
Dual Mangekyo Sharingan 132 Removes Kakashi’s left eye and restores it to his own left socket, gaining a second Kamui eye. The recovered eye enables sight-based spatial distortion and transportation, and he manifests Susanoo for the first time 132.
Expanded Sharingan reserves 336 Implants Madara’s remaining stored Sharingan across his body, increasing his available Izanagi reserves 336.
Rinnegan integration 373 Removes his left Mangekyo to his right palm to preserve Kamui, then transplants a weakened Rinnegan into his left socket; he confirms that Susanoo remains available 373.
Reinforced mental and ocular power 498 After reforging his spirit, his enhanced mental power strengthens his Mangekyo abilities enough to break Itachi’s Tsukuyomi with Dual Kamui and the Rinnegan 498.
Proficient Rinnegan control 590 Trains both Kamui eyes and the Rinnegan, gains control over modified puppets through Black Rods, and retains five Sharingan in total 590.
Third-Stage ocular power 930 The Rinnegan is classified as a Third-Stage Mangekyo evolution, placing Obito’s ocular power in the same broad tier as Natsuki’s Third-Stage Mangekyo 930.

Background

Obito was an Uchiha whose surviving body and right eye disappeared together, leaving him presumed dead. His loss of Rin Nohara became the basis of his hatred for Konoha and his conviction that reality should be replaced through the Infinite Tsukuyomi. He later admitted to Kakashi that he blamed Minato for failing to save Rin and the village 132 141.

Madara deliberately engineered Obito’s descent. He arranged for Rin to become the Three-Tails’ jinchūriki, isolated Kakashi and Rin while Minato was away, and ensured Obito witnessed Rin’s death at Kakashi’s hand; Madara’s purpose was to turn Obito into his pawn 996.

Although Obito initially claims he bears no ill will toward the Uchiha Clan, he targets its members and seeks their Sharingan whenever he needs additional power 85 610. The clan publicly disowns him after confirming his responsibility for the Nine-Tails’ Rampage, removes his name from the Cairn of Remembrance, and places a permanent bounty of three hundred million on him 146 150.

Appearance

Obito commonly conceals his identity behind a vortex-pattern mask and dark robes. His appearance becomes increasingly damaged as his body modifications, ocular techniques, and Rinnegan strain accumulate.

  • Wore a single-lens vortex mask after losing his left Sharingan 130.
  • Has an extensively modified body fused with White Zetsu material on one side 135 996.
  • His hair turns completely white after prolonged physical and ocular strain 638.
  • In his final documented state, he is missing much of his right arm, chest, and leg after a limited Izanagi escape 996.

Personality

Obito is driven by obsessive grief, resentment, and a refusal to accept the world as it is. Rin’s death remains his central emotional trigger; insults concerning her or Kakashi can provoke immediate rage and reckless attacks 270 714.

He is also cautious and adaptive. Repeated defeats by Natsuki and the Uchiha force him to abandon direct retaliation, master his new eyes, stockpile resources, and build an independent power base before resuming his plans 135 282. He later relies increasingly on Tobi and Muku for analysis, recognizing his own shortcomings in long-term schemes 589.

Despite using implanted Sharingan as expendable resources, Obito initially resists covering his body with the eyes of clan members, believing it would make him “neither human nor ghost” 135. This restraint erodes as his conflicts escalate and he implants Madara’s remaining Sharingan into his body 336.

Abilities & Skills

Mangekyo Sharingan and Kamui

Obito’s primary technique is Kamui, a space-time dōjutsu connected to the Kamui Dimension. With both eyes restored, he can use Kamui for close-range phasing as well as long-range distortion.

  • Can phase his body through physical attacks through an Intangible State 85 270.
  • Transports himself, opponents, and objects into the Kamui Dimension 131 542.
  • His recovered left eye can distort, tear apart, or transport targets within his field of vision without physical contact 132.
  • Cannot maintain Intangibility while actively using Susanoo; entering the Kamui Dimension cuts him off from Susanoo’s energy supply 135 864.
  • Kamui is ineffective as protection against sound, light waves, and similar non-solid attacks 864.
  • Powerful genjutsu can exhaust his mental energy and force his Sharingan out of Mangekyo state, though his later mental reinforcement lets him resist Tsukuyomi 20 498.

Susanoo

After recovering Kakashi’s eye, Obito gains access to Susanoo and develops it into a heavily armed full-body form.

  • His full-body, Tengu-armored Susanoo reaches approximately seventy meters in height 271.
  • Hashirama Cell enhancement gives his Susanoo greater size and power than the younger Itachi’s 272.
  • Can create Kamui Shuriken by infusing Susanoo projectiles with spatial distortion 271 272.
  • Kamui Shuriken are extremely chakra-intensive and can rapidly deplete his ocular power 135.
  • Has not reached the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan or Perfect Susanoo level; he considers Perfect Susanoo beyond his current reach 967.

Rinnegan

Obito acquires the Rinnegan after Nagato’s defeat and adapts it for combat, interrogation, puppet control, and large-scale operations.

  • Uses Almighty Push to repel attacks, opponents, flames, and puppets 368 611 775.
  • Uses Banshō Ten'in to pull targets into range or into a prepared Kamui vortex 498 542.
  • Performs Memory Reading by extracting information directly from a target’s mind 535.
  • Controls modified lunar puppets using Black Rods and the Rinnegan’s shared vision 590 611.
  • Can use the Rinnegan from his hand after relocating it from his eye socket 498.

Wood Release and Hashirama Cell Augmentation

Hashirama Cells reduce Obito’s chakra consumption, accelerate recovery, and grant him Wood Release.

  • Uses Wood Release to bind and restrain Kakashi inside the Kamui Dimension 131.
  • Forms his arm into a massive tree for close-range attacks 498.
  • The cells improve his chakra recovery, though they cannot quickly restore dōjutsu depleted by Susanoo 85 135.
  • His modified body keeps him alive without normal food or water for extended periods 443.

Izanagi

Obito repeatedly uses Izanagi to rewrite lethal outcomes at the cost of implanted Sharingan.

  • Escapes Itachi’s Tsukuyomi-induced defeat, losing the light of his left Sharingan 20.
  • Uses Izanagi to survive Fugaku’s Susanoo attack and evade Nagato and Konan’s prepared assault 116 368.
  • Executes a limited Izanagi while critically wounded to escape Madara’s downfall, sacrificing much of his already damaged body 996.

Demonic Statue of the Outer Path

Obito uses the Rinnegan and Kamui together to command and transport the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

  • Transfers the colossal statue into the Kamui Dimension after expending roughly eighty percent of his dōjutsu 542.
  • Attempts to absorb chakra from reanimated jinchūriki to weaken the Ten-Tails’ seal 954.
  • The statue eventually rejects and spits him out after its chakra supply is disrupted 992 994.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Vortex mask — Used to conceal his identity while acting as the Masked Man 130.
  • Implanted Sharingan — Stored across his body and used as reserves for Izanagi 336 590.
  • Black Rod-modified puppets — Lunar puppets adapted for Rinnegan-based control and shared vision 590 611.
  • Demonic Statue of the Outer Path — A massive entity he transports and employs in his plan to revive the Ten-Tails 542 954.
  • Spear of Heaven components — Activates the weapon using the Glass Organ and Melody Rods 638.

Relationships

  • Hatake Kakashi — Former teammate and the recipient of Obito’s left Sharingan. Obito later steals the eye back, reveals his identity, and repeatedly fights Kakashi in the Kamui Dimension 131 132 938.
  • Rin Nohara — Childhood friend whose death defines Obito’s hatred of reality. Madara later reveals that Rin’s fate was manipulated specifically to turn Obito into a pawn 392 996.
  • Uchiha Madara — Mentor and manipulator who engineered Obito’s fall into darkness; Obito ultimately learns that Madara orchestrated Rin’s death 996.
  • Black Zetsu — Adviser and co-conspirator who encourages Obito’s pursuit of power, but withholds information and pursues his own agenda 130 842 931.
  • Uchiha Natsuki — Primary adversary whose knowledge of Kamui repeatedly disrupts Obito’s plans and forces him into retreat or Izanagi 109 273 864.
  • Uchiha Itachi — Enemy and former recruitment target. Itachi destroys Obito’s first left Sharingan with Tsukuyomi; their later battles pit Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan against Dual Kamui and the Rinnegan 20 498.
  • Nagato — Initially treated by Obito as a pawn for the Moon Eye Plan. Obito ultimately takes Nagato’s Rinnegan, while Nagato and Konan expose its abilities to the world 150 373 390.
  • Hiruko — Recruited collaborator whom Obito supplies with Sharingan in exchange for support in overthrowing the Five Great Shinobi Villages 612 736.
  • Tobi — Associate whose battlefield efforts and analysis Obito increasingly depends on after Black Zetsu’s absence 589 842.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment Attempt and First Defeat

Obito attempts to recruit Itachi while posing as Madara. Itachi recognizes him, traps him in Tsukuyomi for seven days, and exhausts his mental energy until his Sharingan deactivates. Obito survives by using Izanagi but loses his left eye’s sight 20.

Reclaiming Kakashi’s Eye

After learning that the Uchiha are developing techniques specifically suited to counter Kamui, Obito decides that a single Mangekyo is no longer enough. He abducts Kakashi into the Kamui Dimension, defeats him with Wood Release, reveals his identity, and takes back his left Sharingan 130 131 132.

Exposure and Expulsion

Natsuki and Kakashi identify Obito as the Masked Man behind the Nine-Tails’ Rampage. The Uchiha Clan publicly exposes his crimes, expels him from the clan registry, and issues a permanent three-hundred-million bounty while distributing intelligence about his space-time ninjutsu 141 146 150.

Tsuren Island Defeat

Obito attacks Shisui and Itachi on Tsuren Island, then battles Natsuki and Itachi after Natsuki arrives. He deploys a seventy-meter Susanoo and Kamui Shuriken but is outmaneuvered by their coordinated defense and Natsuki’s Ame-no-Murakumo-Shiki. He retreats into the Kamui Dimension after his Susanoo is shattered 270 271 272 273.

Rinnegan and Power-Building Campaign

After obtaining the Rinnegan, Obito becomes a high-priority target across the Shinobi World when Konan exposes both his possession of the eye and its known abilities. He expands his resources through puppets, implanted Sharingan, Hiruko, Kakuzu, Stone Golems, White Zetsu, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path 390 590 736 746.

Fourth Shinobi World War

Obito declares war at the Five Kage Summit, explaining his Moon Eye Plan and intent to capture the Tailed Beasts for Infinite Tsukuyomi 862. He deploys thirty thousand Stone Golems, vast White Zetsu forces, reanimated shinobi, and the Demonic Statue, but suffers escalating losses as the Allied Forces dismantle his army and counter his preparations 898 954 963 966.

Madara’s Revelation

As his body fails under the strain of the Demonic Statue, Obito learns that Madara intentionally orchestrated Rin’s death to create him as a pawn. Near death and consumed by hatred, he uses a limited Izanagi and Kamui to escape, determined to witness Madara’s end 994 996.

Trivia

  • Obito is described as the only known Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan directly from the Two Tomoe stage 704.
  • His removal of Kakashi’s Sharingan ruins Hiruko’s original plan to take Kakashi’s eye for the Chimera Technique 580.
  • Obito’s distrust of Natsuki becomes so severe that he suspects Natsuki possesses Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and knowledge of Kamui that should have been impossible to obtain 282.
