Obito Uchiha

Obito Uchiha, also known as Tobi, Madara Uchiha, Masked Madara, Masked Man and Savior, is a character from the Naruto series.
== Charactah Account ==
In childhood, Obito was a member of Kakashi's team. Obito Uchiha was the black sheep of the Uchiha clan with a reputation for being perpetually late and untalented. He was crushed by a landslide while saving Kakashi, and had Rin remove his left Sharingan to give to Kakashi, who had lost an eye protecting him earlier. After this all thought that he died.
But he survived; Obito was rescued by an elderly Madara Uchiha, who replaced the damaged half of his body with tissue from Hashirama. Obito initially refused to aid Madara in his plan but after witnessing Rin's death he returned and received his training. After Madara's death, Obito cast aside his name and took up Madara's as an alias, meeting with Nagato - who had been given Madara's Rinnegan eyes - and proposing an alliance, thus establishing the second iteration of the Akatsuki. He took control of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, and personally recruited Kisame from the Hidden Mist into the Akatsuki. Twelve years before the start of the series, he attacked Konoha and unleashed the Nine-Tailed Fox from its jinchuuriki, Kushina Uzumaki, indirectly causing her death and that of her husband Minato Namikaze. Eight years later he recruited Itachi Uchiha into the Akatsuki and assisted him in slaughtering the Uchiha clan, and at some point, met with Danzo.
Taking on the moniker "Tobi", he was introduced as Zetsu's underling and a replacement partner for Deidara after Sasori's death. Tobi presented himself as a zany comic relief, being constantly beaten up by Deidara, but possessed intangibility and constantly wore an orange, spiral-patterned mask that hid his true identity. He was seemingly killed when Deidara committed suicide but returned claiming to be Madara Uchiha. Tobi subsequently dropped the goofy facade and revealed Itachi's true motives to Sasuke, further driving him down the path of revenge. He enlisted Taka as Akatsuki associates, and revealed the existence of the Sage of the Six Paths to Naruto before declaring war on the entire Ninja World. To this end, he reluctantly allied himself with Kabuto, killed Konan in a fight, stole the Rinnegan, revived the Jinchuuriki to serve as his Six Paths of Pain, and unleashed his army of White Zetsu, all in the name of resurrecting the Ten Tailed Beast in order to become its Jinchuuriki and take over the world by hypnotizing everyone. He got into a fight that was initially just against Naruto and Bee, but eventually expanded to the entire Shinobi Alliance, while backed up by the reanimated Madara and an incomplete Ten-Tails. Eventually Obito became its Jinchuuriki but was defeated by the entire alliance and forced to see the error of his ways by Naruto. Madara, seeing its chance, forced Obito to fully resurrect him and took the Ten-Tails for himself.
The fight escalated to a whole new level when Madara actually succeeded in the Infinite Tsukuyomi but was forced by Black Zetsu to transform into the more dangerous progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Thanks to Obito's efforts, Team 7 was able to stay together and alive against Kaguya's techniques, but ultimately Obito was forced to give up his life to save his redeemer, Naruto. His spirit returned to inhabit Kakashi's body and proved instrumental in finally taking down the goddess. After a final farewell between the two friends, Obito at last moved on to the afterlife to be with his long-lost love, Rin.

== Trivia ==
* Obito makes several cameos before his actual appearance in the series: He is seen in a picture of Team Minato on the cover of chapter 16; The Third Hokage thinks of him in chapter 122 and Naruto episode 72.
* "Tobi" can be translated as the "i form" of "to fly" tobu), or as "kite". The latter translation connects Tobi with Taka through the Japanese proverb "a hawk born from a kite" (tobi ga taka o umu), meaning that an extraordinarily gifted child can be born from ordinary parents.
* Obito's orange mask appears in the ending omake of Naruto: Shippūden episode 129 along with Baki's face and Haku's mask.
* According to the databook(s):
** Obito's favourite words were "teamwork" (chiimuwaaku) and "comrade" (nakama).
** Obito had completed 135 official missions in total: 86 D-rank, 24 C-rank, 24 B-rank, 1 A-rank, 0 S-rank.
** As "Tobi", his hobby was accompanying "Deidara-senpai", and his favourite phrase was given as "secret" (himitsu).
* In video games, such as Ultimate Ninja Impact and Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, Obito can use Fire Release techniques even though he wears a mask; the same happens with Kakashi.
* Despite Obito being a user of the Six Paths Senjutsu, he is not listed as a senjutsu user nor a user of Yang Release in the fourth databook.
* According to the third databook, Obito is said to be 175 cm as Tobi. However, when revealed to be Obito, the fourth databook concludes that he is 182 cm. Interestingly enough though, Studio Pierrot says Obito is 180 cm as an adult.
* Studio Pierrot's Settei sheets show that Obito was 125.4 cm when he first entered the Academy.
