Why obito uchiha

The Uchiha name has been associated with Madara, who became one of the co-founders of Konoha Village before becoming the main villain of the series. After almost losing his life on a mission, Obito ends up meeting Madara who trains him to carry on his legacy to create the perfect Ninja world.

When Obito first comes into contact with Madara, he refers to him as his precious forefather. Having Obito say that could mean that he is a direct descendant of the legendary ninja. Obito has showcased his full power during the Naruto Shippuuden series with his diverse set of techniques. During his fight in the Fourth Ninja World War arc, we get to see Obito use four different types of kekkei genkai.

The first three are the eyes that he possesses, including the Sharingan, Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Rinnegan. As an Uchiha, Obito already possessed the Sharingan but managed to obtain the Mangekyo power after witnessing the death of his comrade Rin at the hands of his other teammate Kakashi. In games like Ultimate Ninja Storm , certain characters like Obito can use other styles of jutsu that was never covered in the show or manga.

In the second installment of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series, we see that Obito can use fire-style techniques. We did see him use it on the show as a young ninja but that was the only time we got to witness seeing him display that ability in the series.

While Taka is placed against the Kage's combined might, Tobi meets with Naruto - who is also in the Land of Iron - in an effort to understand Nagato's change of heart. Kakashi and Yamato confront him, but Tobi doesn't want to fight, instead telling them about the Sage of the Six Paths , the truth of the Uchiha clan, and Sasuke's descent into darkness.

They doubt the validity of what he tells them, but he is unconcerned and leaves shortly afterwards. As Sasuke is about to be killed by the Kage, Tobi rescues him. He sends Sasuke away, sending Karin with him so she can heal his injuries. Telling the Kage and those in attendance that he is Madara Uchiha, he explains the Eye of the Moon Plan to them and concludes by asking for their support by giving him Killer B and Naruto. The Kage refuse, so Tobi declares war on them all before disappearing.

Tobi observes the battle and is glad when Sasuke is finally able to fully develop Susanoo. Cursing him, Tobi gets a new arm and makes plans to retrieve Nagato's Rinnegan to prepare for war.

Before he can leave, Zetsu informs him of Sasuke's fight with Naruto. Tobi interrupts them and advises Sasuke to save the fight for another time in light of Sasuke's deteriorating vision. Once back at the Mountains' Graveyard , Tobi restores Sasuke's vision at his request by implanting him with Itachi's eyes, then leaves him to recuperate.

As he is leaving the Mountains' Graveyard, Tobi is confronted by Kabuto Yakushi who requests to ally with Tobi in the coming war. Kabuto offers them as pawns to be used on the battlefield, and all he asks in return is to be given Sasuke. Tobi contemplates refusal, to which Kabuto responds by reviving Madara. Horrified that Kabuto knows that Madara is actually dead, Tobi is forced to accept an alliance, but sets the condition that Sasuke will not be turned over until after the war.

Kabuto agrees and sends the summons away. Tobi escorts Kabuto into his hideout so he can assess his battle strength and reformulate his plans for war. Tobi later infiltrates Amegakure to acquire Nagato's corpse. He is immediately confronted by Konan. Tobi tries to buy back her cooperation by informing her of his involvement in Yahiko 's creation of Akatsuki, but she doesn't believe him.

Konan turns into paper and engulfs Tobi, hoping to use the exploding tags mingled with her paper in order to sacrifice herself and kill him.

Tobi realises what she's up to in time and warps the explosion away — saving both of their lives — but loses his right arm. Konan tries another attack, detonating a constant series of six hundred billion paper explosives. The explosions go on for a period of ten minutes, longer than Tobi can remain intangible for. He therefore uses his left Sharingan to perform Izanagi to survive the attack. Unaware of this and thinking he's dead, Konan lowers her guard, allowing Tobi to sneak up behind her and stab her.

He asks what it is about Naruto that could have caused her and Nagato to betray him in the way that they have, to which she responds that Naruto is the light that will build a bridge to peace. Tobi avows himself as the darkness that crushes Naruto's light and places her under a genjutsu to extract the location of Nagato's body before he kills her.

When Tobi finds Nagato's body, he sees Nagato smiling at him, which he interprets as continued betrayal. He shuts Nagato's eyes before teleporting the body away. Kabuto offers to capture them for him as a sign of good faith.

He ultimately fails, but does manage to bring back Yamato , who he can use to strengthen the White Zetsu Army. Tobi finds this a fair alternative. When preparations are complete the thousands of Zetsu and many of Kabuto's reincarnated ninja mobilise, initiating the Fourth Shinobi World War. Tobi suspects that Kabuto led her to their hideout and believes Kabuto plans to have Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces destroy each other.

Although confident that this will not happen, Tobi orders Kabuto to kill Anko. Kabuto refuses on the grounds that he can use Anko to make the Impure World Reincarnation stronger, something that is in Tobi's best interests.

Tobi remains uneasy about Kabuto and has White Zetsu plant spores on him so that his actions can be monitored. He later learns that Naruto and B have left their confinement and joined the battle. With things moving towards their conclusion, Tobi goes to the location of the First Division where he summons the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Darui and Shikamaru Nara conclude that he plans to make use of the brothers' Nine-Tails chakra as part of his plans and try to stop him. He compliments them on guessing his intentions and has the Statue attack them while he escapes with the two items.

Naruto headbutts Tobi as soon as they meet, to which Tobi only responds by pointing out that Naruto couldn't even scratch his mask. Naruto notices his new Rinnegan and remarks that it is the same as the "other" Madara's. Realising that Kabuto has revealed his secret, Tobi quietly curses Kabuto before shedding his Madara-identity, embracing the role of "nobody". In the confusion of their appearance, the Five-Tails breaks free of Tobi's control but he promptly subdues it.

He then forces the Four-Tails and Six-Tails to fully transform in an attempt to stack the odds in his favour. Instead, the Four-Tails manages to communicate to Naruto how Tobi is controlling it. Naruto escapes from its mouth, locates the chakra receiver embedded in the Four-Tails' flesh, and removes it. Despite the overwhelming power of the five tailed beasts, Naruto, working in full cooperation with the Nine-Tails, is able to neutralise all of them and release them from Tobi's influence.

Like the Four-Tails, Tobi seals them back into the Statue. Despite the setbacks, Tobi remains confident that he will emerge victorious. As this could only mean that Kabuto has failed, Tobi realises that time is running out. Despite their combined efforts they are unable to get past Tobi or damage him. Tobi is even able to turn some of their own attacks against them, such as a lightning -infused kunai that Kakashi is forced to send away with Kamui.

After this latter exchange, however, Kakashi notices that Tobi's mask takes damage. Unable to attribute the damage to any of their attacks, Kakashi tests a theory: Naruto attacks Tobi with a Rasengan , and when it appears to pass through Tobi, Kakashi targets the Rasengan with Kamui. Tobi's arm is then damaged. Kakashi concludes that his Kamui and Tobi's ability share the same dimension ; that attacks sent to the dimension at the same moment that Tobi has transported his body parts there for safety will do damage to Tobi.

Now that they have a strategy to use against Tobi, Naruto, B, Guy, and Kakashi begin to coordinate their efforts. One of Naruto's shadow clones attacks Tobi, but the attack appears to fail and the clone disappears. The real Naruto attacks immediately afterwards with a Tailed Beast Ball , which Tobi avoids by retreating to the other dimension.

There he finds Naruto's shadow clone waiting for him, having been sent there by Kakashi's Kamui. Before he has a chance to react he is hit in the face with a Rasengan, shattering his mask.

His face revealed, Kakashi and Guy recognise him as their former team-mate Obito Uchiha. Kakashi is devastated to learn that Obito is not only alive but is now one of the world's worst criminals. Before he can find out how Obito survived, the reincarnated Madara Uchiha arrives at Obito's side.

Seeing the Demonic Statue, Madara chides Obito for reviving the Ten-Tails prematurely and reviving him in the state he is in. Obito informs him of Nagato's betrayal before returning to him his gunbai and directing him to Naruto and B. While Madara goes after them, Obito fights Kakashi. He ignores Kakashi's pleas for an explanation and nearly kills him, stopped only by Naruto.

When Kakashi gets over his initial shock and starts to fight seriously, Obito sends him away with Kamui. This is part of Kakashi's plan, as through a combination of efforts Naruto and Killer B nearly destroy the Demonic Statue.

But the attack comes a moment too late, and from the smoke emerges the Ten-Tails. Obito and Madara take position atop the Ten-Tails' head and attach themselves to it so they can control its actions.

Because they no longer need Naruto or B, they direct the Ten-Tails to kill them. The combined Allied Shinobi Forces arrive in time to stop the attack. The Allies collaborate against the Ten-Tails and succeed in restraining it, but the Ten-Tails matures to its next form and releases itself. Though this was countered easily enough, they have the Ten-Tails destroy the Allied Shinobi Forces' Headquarters to prevent future collaborations. Madara remarks that the battle is more difficult than it should be and blames Obito's deviations from the original plan, namely not bringing Madara back to life in the correct way.

Obito replies that he never trusted Madara would keep his word and that he now follows his own version of the Eye of the Moon Plan.

Obito uses the beast as a medium to fire off several wooden projectiles into the assembled Alliance. Naruto and the Allies refuse to be broken by their shared loss and instead unite for yet another attack, successfully separating the Ten-Tails from Madara and Obito's control.

Madara and Obito join forces against the shinobi army, but now have the unrestrained Ten-Tails to contend with. Obito intercepts him and together they relocate to the other dimension.

With nobody to interrupt them, Kakashi again tries to speak with him, and Obito finally starts to answer some of his questions, explicitly stating Kakashi should feel no guilt for killing Rin so many years ago. Kakashi tries to explain, but Obito saves him the trouble, saying he already knows the circumstances surrounding Rin's death and that it was Rin's idea to die, which is what led him to despair at the world that forced Rin to kill herself.

Kakashi persists that what Obito is doing is wrong, but Obito continues to rebuff him. In an ensuing fight, he directs the outcome to have Kakashi stab him through the heart with a lightning-infused kunai in order to get rid of the Forbidden Individual Curse Tag Madara placed on him years ago.

Obito gives Kakashi a non-fatal stab in return which causes him to fall to the ground and allows Obito to return to the real world. Badly injured, Obito teleports to the top of the Ten-Tails. Madara senses his return and his weakened state and exerts his control over Obito to try and force him to perform the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique and bring him back to life.

Before the technique can be completed the Allies try to eliminate Obito, including a reincarnated Minato , who is able to teleport to Obito's location using the same Flying Thunder God seal he branded Obito with years earlier.

Minato and Obito only recognise each other after Obito has been cut down. Madara admits defeat, but not because Obito is dead: Obito, already beyond Madara's influence, was sealing the Ten-Tails into his body , a process he completed in time. Attacks do not affect him and his Truth-Seeking Balls overcome every defence that is placed against him. The Allies' only advantage is Obito's lack of control; the Ten-Tails' power physically distorts his body and some inner struggle deprives of any discretion or precision in his actions.

Deep within his mind, Obito fights to rein in the Ten-Tails and keep it from tearing him apart. By focusing on a picture of his old team , he is able to subjugate the Ten-Tails' power. In a blind gamble, Gamakichi uses Starch Syrup Gun against Obito, which is the first attack to not be completely nullified.

Naruto realises that, despite all of Obito's new powers, he remains vulnerable to senjutsu. With the moon nearing the optimal position to perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi , Obito begins making final preparations.

He traps the Alliance in a barrier and creates an enormous tree with four flowers, each flower charging a Tailed Beast Ball. The balls are fired at the shinobi forces but Naruto and Minato teleport everyone to safety. After repelling the two's senjutsu-fuelled counterattack, Obito summons the tree form of the Ten-Tails and has it absorb the chakra of nearby ninja, taking their chakra and killing many.

Obito uses this rising death toll to shatter the determination of the Shinobi Alliance, offering them mercy if they stop fighting and allow themselves to enter the infinite dream. Naruto is nearly shattered, but is galvanised by Sasuke's refusal to surrender and he rallies the shinobi forces. Naruto and Sasuke join forces, combining their own senjutsu abilities against him to increasingly greater effect.

Obito, who is fighting both the shinobi alliance by controlling the tree and Naruto and Sasuke personally, becomes frustrated with their continued attacks and Naruto's denial of his way of thinking.

Obito forms the Sword of Nunoboko , intending to use it to strike all of them down for good. Obito's early efforts against the Leaf were more than an anemic attempt to kill Naruto. He was also able to extract Kurama, teleporting to the center of the Leaf, and unleashing it for a caliber of destruction that would remain unrivaled for decades.

It would eventually result in the Nine-Tails being inserted into Naruto, causing much of the persecution the young shinobi would face in his childhood. This is notably tragic, given that his parents sacrificed their lives for an evidently ungrateful country. The bulk of Obito's shinobi career may have been drenched in villainy, though just heroism and sacrifice were the way it began, so too would it be the way he perished.

Despite being relatively ineffective in the final fight against Kaguya, he managed to save not only the lives of Naruto and Sasuke, though Kakashi's as well. Obito achieved this by using his Kamui in front of Kaguya's spikes, directing both attacks to him. Not only was this noble, but this was also resourceful and intelligent; one would have been enough to kill him, so by soaking both, he prevented needless death. He told him the truth behind his brother's intentions; that he was simply under the orders of Konoha's elders, and that his actions were ultimately in his younger sibling's best interest.

While this was technically correct, he presented the information in a deliberate way to weaponize Sasuke's hatred and turn it against the Leaf as a whole. This would be a vendetta that outlived Obito himself, causing a final reckoning between Sasuke and Naruto.

David Zimmerman is an English major from the United States. He has enthusiastically pursued his interest in storytelling since childhood and authored his first book, "The Massive Adventures Of Massive Guy," at the age of fifteen. Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto series is guilty of several plot holes, but Obito's eyesight isn't one of them. Obito Uchiha was formally introduced during Kakashi 's backstory arc, sacrificing himself to protect his masked rival from a huge boulder and donating his one remaining eye as a final gift.

For a long time, Obito was assumed to have died that day, but he was secretly saved by none other than Madara Uchiha.

The legendary ninja and his Zetsu assistant tended to the youngster's wounds and replaced his missing flesh by using the First Hokage's renowned DNA. From there, Obito posed as the hapless Tobi and later as Madara himself in a conspiracy to resurrect the real Madara.
