Obito Uchiha

Obito Uchiha

Personality


In his youth, Obito was constantly late, which, more often than not, was due to the good deeds he had stopped to do, which usually had to do with aiding the elderly.
Obito was in love with Rin; but his feelings were not mutual as Rin was attracted to Kakashi instead. Obito was frustrated by this, and envied Kakashi's prodigious skills, and so constantly sought to surpass him. Although these efforts usually ended in failure, he was able to spend time with Rin while she treated his injuries. Ultimately, Obito would never get the chance to reveal his feelings to Rin before his "death".
Even after "dying", Obito still cared deeply for his friends and village, and immediately wanted to return to see them again. However, upon witnessing Kakashi taking Rin's life, Obito's determination shattered, and his personality forever changed.

By the time he became an adult, conditioned by Madara to continue his work, Obito's personality changed drastically as he became extremely focused, calm and serious. 
From his former loyalty and care that seems to be derived from the Will of Fire(to those who possess the Will of Fire, everyone is family. The desire to protect one's family builds thicker and stronger bonds between each and every one in the village, he now claims to have inherited the Uchiha clan's Curse of Hatred (when an uchiha that has known love loses it, it turns into an even stronger hate and changes that person) with the entire world itself as the object of his loathing. This conviction became increasingly stronger to the point of Obito no longer caring for his well being, stating he is nobody and that nothing matters to him besides the Eye of the Moon Plan(Madara Uchiha's ultimate plan to create an idealistic world).

This lack of empathy includes those close to him, attacking Minato and Kakashi without hesitation if he ended up killing them as he believes once the Eye of the Moon Plan is completed he can just revive them along with Rin. Only his love for Rin remained, his desire to see her again becoming the motivation for his actions.


abilities

1. Taijutsu

Obito is very skilled with taijutsu. He have a very fast reaction time and reflexes.
After awakening his Sharingan, his hand-to-hand abilities improved as he was better able to read and now even predict his opponents movements. He mostly achieves this by using his hand-to-hand combat in tandem with his space-time technique to allow opponents to phase through him and then quickly counter using the elements of surprise and confusion.

Obito has displayed a high level of speed, even without his Kamui.
As an adult, Obito's speed was great enough that he was able to keep up with Naruto in his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

2. Ninjutsu

2.1 Nature Transformation

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Obito is well-versed in Fire Release techniques, which he was able to use quickly, as seen during a mission where he demonstrated in a fast use of the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.


Obito gained the ability to use Wood Release after acquiring artificial limbs created from Hashirama Senju's cells.
Obito could also produce smaller roots from one of his arms, and use them to restrain and constrict his opponents.



2.2 Bukijutsu (Weapon Techniques)

As an adult, Obito has been shown wielding various weapons throughout the series. During the Fourth Shinobi World War he began carrying the war fan that Madara Uchiha was known to use during his life. Attached to the gunbai was a chain that was connected to Obito, which allows him to use his fan in a similar manner to a flail, as an alternate means of attacking, and defending, as well as a method to get within proximity to absorb his enemies. The gunbai is also extremely durable, enough to block a Rasengan without any visible damage to it.

In his fight with Minato Namikaze, he used a long chain attached to braces on his wrist, resembling shackles. They were used in conjunction with his ability to become intangible, first by allowing the adversary to harmlessly pass through his body before solidifying once again as they emerge from the other side, restraining them with the trailing chain. (Naruto chapter 502, pages 13-14).

2.3 Shuriken Technique

As an Uchiha, Obito is proficient in the use of shuriken techniques and wields a set of giant shuriken of varying sizes stored in the other dimension.

3. Dojutsu (Eye Techniques)

3.1 Sharingan


When Obito first awakened his Sharingan it already had two tomoe and he was able to take immediate advantage of it despite his inexperience. His eye gained three tomoe after witnessing Rin's death, moments before his Mangekyō Sharingan awakened.

Like Madara, Obito can use his Sharingan to place tailed beasts under his control, this control being more effective on a single target, with some difficulty when controlling more than one at the same time, allowing the beasts to temporarily break free in such instances.

3.2 Mangekyo Sharingan


Obito awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after witnessing Rin's death at the hands of Kakashi.
With his Mangekyo Sharingan, he is able to perform his space-time ninjutsu, Kamui.
This ability grants Obito the use of two distinct abilities: teleportation, and another best described as "intangibility". The eye serves as a gateway to another dimensional space, which he can instantly send parts of his body to and bring back from. This causes him to seem "intangible" in the original dimension; when struck, attacks pass right through him.

The second part of his Kamui is to travel long distances within relatively short time. While he is usually seen using this ability on himself, he can teleport anyone by making physical contact with them. Once teleported the targets are forced to stay there until he chooses to release them.  When being transported in this way, the target appears to be sucked into his right eye. Obito must remain solid while this teleportation is used, and it takes longer to absorb himself than it does someone or something else.

3.3 Rinnegan

Obito implanted Madara's Rinnegan, taken from Nagato's corpse, into his left eye socket in preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War. With the Rinnegan, Obito can summon the Gedo Mazo(the empty vessel of the Ten-Tails).

Obito makes use of the Six Paths of Pain, with his particular Paths being chosen from the reincarnated jinchūriki, embedding chakra receivers in their bodies which allows him to manipulate them. Each one also has the same eyes as he does (a right Sharingan and a left Rinnegan), allowing him to see what they see and coordinate their movements.


As a wielder of the Rinnegan, Obito also has access to the Six Paths Technique.
Following this he can use the Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique which can revive an individual at the cost of his own life, which he noted to be key to reviving Madara as a living individual and not a reincarnated body.

4. Intelligence

As an adult, Obito is an observant and sharp thinker, capable of reading through deception. He can formulate complicated plans well in advance and accurately predict how others will act in a given set of circumstances. Even on the rare occasions where Obito is caught off-guard he is capable of creating counter-strategies while maintaining a calm and composed demeanour. He is flexible when the situation calls for it, using alternate means to achieve his objective when his original plan fails.
