Background / History
Rin’s rejection
Obito’s first appearance centers on his feelings for Rin Nohara. Blushing and fidgeting, he offers to share a meat cutlet bento with her, only to discover that she has approached Miya with her own lunch instead. When Miya pats Rin’s head, Obito becomes furious and attempts to confront him 3.
Rin stops Obito, tells him not to block Miya’s way, and explicitly refuses his lunch invitation. As Obito leaves, she asks him to stop bothering her because she does not want Miya to misunderstand their relationship 3.
Academy confrontation with Miya
During a practical combat test, Obito refuses his assigned match against Shikō Aburame and demands to fight Miya. His challenge astonishes the class, whose other students are relieved not to face Miya themselves 8.
Masaki Kuhara fails Obito before the fight begins and orders him to withdraw. His decision combines concern about Obito’s emotional judgment, irritation at the disrupted test arrangements, and his own prejudice against the Uchiha Clan. Obito refuses to step down, and Miya accepts the challenge despite Masaki’s objections 9.
Miya repeatedly kicks Obito away without moving from his position. After being knocked down more than ten times in less than a minute, Obito switches to the Great Fireball Technique. Miya withstands the flames with chakra armor and launches a counterattack, which Minato Namikaze intercepts 10 11.
Miya subsequently beats Obito, leaving him bruised and his clothes torn, then warns him to stop pestering Rin. Obito’s vow of retaliation provokes another attack. Minato blocks a potentially devastating stomp and carries Obito to safety; Miya then makes sparing Obito conditional on Minato defeating him 11 12.
Miya’s graduation
Obito later shows visible fear when he encounters Miya at the classroom door after Asuma has been rendered unconscious. The class bell interrupts the encounter 23.
He joins the students waiting outside Miya’s early graduation examination, hoping Miya will pass and leave the academy. Nevertheless, seeing Rin and Kurenai gathered around Miya renews his jealousy. Obito and Asuma resolve to train, defeat Miya, and win the girls’ affection 24.
Service under Minato
By Miya’s return from Ryūchi Cave, Obito is serving alongside Rin and Kakashi under Minato. While the team is clearing a river channel, Miya arrives and pats Rin’s head. Obito charges at him and is immediately kicked away; Minato catches him and confirms that Miya held back 85 86.
Rin’s concerned cry briefly delights Obito, but she then tells him that he cannot beat Miya and should stop provoking him. After Miya leaves with Rin, Obito renews his determination to defeat him 86.
At a later campfire gathering, Obito cheers for Kakashi when he challenges Miya, setting aside much of his hostility toward his teammate because of their shared opponent. He subsequently watches the duel and is shocked by Miya’s powerful aura 88 89.
Personality
Obito is shy when approaching Rin but openly aggressive toward Miya. He idealizes Rin as his goddess and interprets Miya’s affectionate gestures as offenses against her. His jealousy repeatedly overrides his awareness that Miya is far stronger than he is 3 8 10 86.
He is stubborn and courageous enough to continue fighting after repeated knockdowns; even Masaki recognizes his courage. That persistence is paired with poor classroom discipline—he dozes during theory lessons—and a tendency to prioritize personal feelings over instructions. Rejection leaves him visibly dejected, but also strengthens his resolve to improve and defeat Miya 9 10 24 86.
