In the Japanese manga and anime series Naruto, Obito Uchiha (うちはオビト, Uchiha Obito) was a chūnin-level shinobi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and a member of Team Minato. Obito graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of 9, and was promoted to Chūnin at the age of 11. During the Third Shinobi World War, Team Minato was assigned the task of destroying the Kannabi Bridge. Because Kakashi had recently been promoted to Jōnin, he was to be left in charge of the mission. Before setting out, however, Minato Namikaze and Rin gave Kakashi gifts, something Obito forgot to do. Minato left them to go fight on the front lines, and Rin was soon captured by Iwagakure forces. Kakashi chose not to go save her, placing the mission's completion first, but Obito refused to comply, stating that, while those who break the rules are scum, those who abandon their friends are worse than scum. After that, they parted ways.
When Obito found where Rin was being held, he was immediately attacked by Taiseki. Kakashi, having had a change of heart, arrived in time to save Obito, while Taiseki used the Hiding with Camouflage Technique to disappear. Invisible, Taiseki was able to damage Kakashi's left eye. To save his team-mate, Obito awakened his Sharingan, immediately proving proficient enough with it to locate and kill Taiseki. Obito and Kakashi went to defeat Kakkō and save Rin, but once she was freed, Kakkō started an "Earth Release" Rock Lodging Destruction enemy-induced cave-in and escaped.
When Obito pushed Kakashi out of the way of a falling rock, his right side was crushed. Unable to free himself, Obito asked Rin to give Kakashi his remaining Sharingan, to make up for not giving him a gift earlier. Once the eye transfer procedure was complete, Kakashi moved forward to kill Kakkō with a perfected Chidori.
Sensing that reinforcements from Iwagakure have arrived and "Earth Release" Tearing Earth Turning Palm|attacked them (causing the cave to collapse once more), he forced Kakashi and Rin to leave him in the collapsing cave. Obito was then crushed by the falling boulders while he was thinking about his two team-mates, sadly remarking how he was unable to fully deepen his friendship with both of them when they were already getting along well. In chapter 599, it is revealed that Tobi's true identity is Obito.
Personality
Obito was constantly tardy, always claiming he had been doing a good deed, such as helping an elderly woman carry her luggage. Minato referred to this as the truth, though Kakashi didn't believe him. Obito was also a little stubborn at times, yet, unlike Kakashi, who was very strict of the rules and regulations, he was usually carefree, and would rather save a team-mate than complete a mission - the same as Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake. Obito would also lie to get out of trouble or just an uncomfortable situation - whenever he would start crying, he would claim he had something in his eye, though usually at the time he had his goggles on. Obito had romantic feelings for his female team-mate Rin, though he never revealed them to her, not even when he was dying.
There are many speculations on Tobi's real identity, the most realistic being Obito Uchiha, who gave Kakashi his left Sharingan. This and the fact that Tobi was introduced with only the right eye, a Sharingan, visible (before retrieving the Rinnegan) were the first hints given in the manga.[ch. 364]. When facing off with Naruto, Killerbee, Guy and Kakashi, Tobi tells the latter: "Kakashi, you always open your mouths so easily. No wonder you've lived a life full of regrets."[ch. 594] And there is also the hint in Tobi's name: トビ (Tobi) is an inverse off the katakana used for オビト (Obito), as Tobi can be also spelled トオビ(Tōbi). Lastly, there is no proof of Obito actually dying by being crushed from the rocks.[ch. 244] , but at the same time it is not explained yet, how he could have survived or be revived respectively (possibly by Orochimaru), nor what caused the radical change of his cheerful personality.
He tends to have an emo way of thinking. Death, Pain and Destruction are his goals in life; then again when you realize how busted your face looks then I guess you would feel the same way too.
Appearance
Obito had short spiky black hair and dark eyes which were normally obscured behind goggles which he wore to protect his eyes prior to awakening his Sharingan. He wore a long sleeved blue uniform with metal plating on the part that reached the back of his hands, as well as a blue jacket with orange trimmings and collar. The jacket was fastened to the rest of the outfit by two buttons on the collar. He also wore a white belt and the standard Konohagakure forehead protector and shinobi sandals.
Also for some reason he and every other spunky character in this series look exactly as the title character Naruto... designing different characters must be hard work.
Abilities
As a member of the Uchiha clan, Obito could use Fire Release jutsu, which he was able to use quickly, as seen in his fight with two Iwagakure ninja where he demonstrated quick usage of the "Fire Release" Great Fireball Technique and was also able to incinerate a trap that was set by enemy ninja. He was also able to awaken his Sharingan and immediately use it with great ease, despite it being his first time using it. He displayed fast reflexes and good taijutsu skill, which, together with his Sharingan and Kakashi's help, was proven an effective fighting combination.
He also has the ability to release "Thunder Toots" A flaming ball of anal gas which he releases upon the consumption of vast amounts of bean curry.
Missions
- Obito had completed 135 official missions in total:
86 D-rank 24 C-rank 24 B-rank 1 A-rank 0 S-rank.
