obito uchiha He is one of the most controversial characters around. Naruto. His appearances in the anime were quite brief at first, but his actions become more and more important as we progress through the series.
In this article we will tell you everything good and bad you need to know about the mysterious obito uchiha. Not without first reminding you that we will talk about the anime, so this information may contain spoilers if you haven’t seen it yet.
Obito Uchicha is probably the most similar character to Naruto among all anime heroes. Like the young Uzumaki, Obito grew up not knowing his parents, although he was raised by his grandmother. This she seems to have instilled good values in him and taught him the importance of kindness and compassion.
Despite this, Obito did not feel important. In fact, most of the time he believed that nobody took him into account and he was too unnoticed. This is the reason why he decided to be Hokage at a very young age, at the time of the Third Hokage. So much Naruto like Obito were good-hearted children with the same motivations.
But not only was its interior similar to Narutobut also external circumstances.
an eternal rivalry
The shy obito uchiha was put in a group with a lovely girl known as Rin who we don’t know much about, and the legendary Kakashi Hatake. The dynamic between them was very similar to the one Naruto had with Sakura and Sasuke. In fact, Kakashi he was also seen as a genius, and Rin seemed to have a crush on him.
And to make matters worse, Obito was in love with Rin. So as he grew up, he had to watch his rival get stronger, and the girl he liked got further and further away.
However, Obito did not hold a grudge against Kakashi. Not because she was too noble for it, but because she considered him part of his team. After Minato’s test of the bell, the three of them had become very close, and that was more important to Obito than anything else. It is for this reason that his favorite words became “Teamwork” (チームワーク) and “Comrade” (仲间).
Despite this, Obito and Kakashi they did not agree on their ideals. The former believed that the most important thing was the team and the teammates. Kakashi, on the other hand, was convinced that the main thing was to fulfill the mission. Little did they know that very soon they would agree on everything.
A tragedy that changed everything
the dark days of obito uchiha They began during the Third Ninja World War. While on a mission, Rin was captured by soldiers from Iwagakure. Kakashi He decided to abandon it immediately, because in his eyes the most important thing was the mission. But Obito did not hesitate to go rescue her. Not without first telling Kakashi the famous phrase:
In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum. But those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.
Despite the bravery of the young Uchiha, these ninjas were much stronger and more experienced. However, when all seemed lost, Kakashi appears to help them escape. Unfortunately, the enemy ninja Kakko blew up the cave they were in and Obito sacrificed his life so that Kakashi and Rin could escape.
With his last breath left and half of his body crushed, Obito asked Kakashi to take his newfound Sharingan and draw his eyes from there. That is how Kakashi would become the famous “Ninja that copies”.
A new beginning
That seemed for many years the end of obito uchiha, a young man who could have been the protagonist of the story in better circumstances. However, a shadowy figure was waiting for him to fall from the shadows.
Obito woke up some time later in a bed. Various parts of his body had been severed and replaced with White Zetsu matter. Zetsu and the aging Madara Uchiha used cells from Hashirama Senju to heal most of Obito’s body, including his crushed Sharingan.
Although Obito thought he was dead, surrounded by the god of death and his lackeys, he decided to return to his team immediately. However, Madara wouldn’t let him with the excuse that he needed to recover, so he asked him to get enough rest. One day, Zetsu informs him that Kakashi and Rin are in danger, and he offers his body to go help them.
Obito combines with Zetsu, who absorbs his face into a spiral, and they quickly arrive at the scene of the confrontation. Unfortunately, the first thing he saw was Kakashi and Rin surrounded by ninjas from Kirigakure. Already Kakashi impaling Rin with a chidori.
A newly discovered power
The moment of Rin’s death was also the death of obito uchiha as we knew it. In that instant he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and used the power of Zetsu and Hashirama’s cells to eliminate all the ninjas of Kirigakure.
Obito discovered shortly after that Rin had been used as a vessel for the Three-Tailed Beast and they intended to blow it up in Konoha. That was the reason why Kakashi he was forced to kill her with tears in his eyes. But even knowing this, Obito felt too disappointed in his ex-partner, and in real life. So much so that he preferred to deny everything.
Obito decided that a world without Rin could not be real, and he dedicated the rest of his life to creating an imaginary world. A Genjutsu that makes everyone dream, in which Rin is still alive, and Kakashi be his friend again.
Obito Uchiha and the Tsuki no Mi project
So Madara explained everything about his plan to obito uchiha, and tasked him with taking his identity. Obito then became a masked man named Tobi, though he told everyone that he was actually Madara Uchiha.
He used the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan to perform all kinds of atrocities. Since he could go to and from another dimension, he made it appear that he was teleporting. This is how he assaulted Konoha, freed the Nine-Tailed Fox facing his former master, and later killed the entire Uchiha Clan along with Itachi Uchiha. He also found another Uzumaki member and implanted the Rinnegan into him, later to revive Madara.
after meeting Sasuke, manipulated him to confront Konoha and serve as a weapon against the ninja alliance. All with the goal of creating the Eternal Genjutsu from him.
He later ended up eliminating Konan, who was guarding Nagato’s body. The latter sacrificed himself to revive the fallen in Konoha instead of Madara, but the Rinnegan was still intact. He stole the eyes from his corpse and became the second user to have both a Sharingan and a Rinnegan, after Madara.
Face to face with another version of himself
In the war, after his true identity was revealed, obito uchiha He showed his true powers. He was not only possessor of the abilities of the Rinnegan and his powerful Mangekyo. He was also skilled in Ninjutsu, Bukijutsu, and Taijutsu. He could use all five elements, as well as body modifications on him that improved his Chakra usage and durability in combat.
But his greatest power was obtained by becoming the Jinchuuriki of the Ten Tails. This gave him a new appearance, as well as the power to use Gudōdama, regenerate, and fly. But the more power he got from him, the more he gave up his humanity. In fact, he was about to lose his reasoning, including all memories of him, were it not for Naruto appeared in his consciousness.
Both connected chakras allowed them to have a conversation, one in which Obito saw Naruto like a version of himself. One in which he could have become if he had made better decisions and not given up on reality. Obito is defeated and his will to do evil disappears.
The last chance of redemption for Obito Uchiha
After a lifetime of failure, it’s hard to think of a way obito uchiha could be redeemed. However, his actions were decisive for the victory of the ninja alliance.
Obito tried to use the Rinnegan to revive everyone he had killed, but is stopped by Black Zetsu, who takes control of his body. Obito is brought to Madara against his will, but instead of rejoining his former savior, he decides to stab him. Not to kill him, but to steal enough chakra to revive Naruto in its dimension.
A sacrifice and a goodbye
Later, Obito awakens to face off against none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki. He does his best to attend Naruto Y Sasuke in his combat, no matter how little. At one point, Obito and Kakashi throw themselves like shields Naruto Y Sasukewilling to give their lives for the young.
Yet once again obito uchiha decide to push Kakashi saving his life. He used his visual jutsu to teleport the attack that would hit Kakashiand he received the second, dying in a rapid disintegration.
As a last heroic act, Obito resists death for a few more moments, offering the rest of his Chakra to Kakashi. With this, the ancient Ninja who copies can use the power of Obito’s Mangekyo Sharingan, which he uses to summon a powerful Susanoo. Finally, Obito apologizes to Kakashi for all the evil he caused, and leaves to rest with Rin.
Loved and hated by many, Obito was nothing more than a tool for evil for most of his life. However, he showed his true self at the end of his story, when he was finally able to smile again.
