Obito Uchiha

* As Tobi
* Unmasked

**Obito Uchiha**, more commonly known as **Tobi**, is one of the two main antagonists of *Naruto*. A member of the Uchiha Clan, Obito used to be an idealistic young boy before watching Rin die and agreeing to Madara's plans to cast Infinite Tsukoyomi. Obito thus became the leader of Akatsuki and ordered Pain to capture all Jinchurikis to fulfill his goal.

He is voiced by Wataru Takagi and Naoya Uchida (while impersonating Madara).

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* Has a tragic past of growing up as an orphan in the Uchiha Clan.
* Convinced Kakashi to help his teammates and to not abandon them even when the mission may fail, thus changing Kakashi into becoming admirable.
* Attempted to sacrifice himself in order to save Kakashi and Rin, giving Kakashi his Sharingan to replace the eye destroyed by the Rock Ninja.
* Tried to return to Konoha to help Kakashi and Rin.
* After watching Rin die at the hands of Kakashi, Obito spared him due to their earlier bond as friends.
* Activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and got the power of Kamui, which granted him intangibility and transportation abilities. something he will put to great use.
* Accepted Madara's plan for Infinite Tsukoyomi not for any personal reasons, only because he genuinely believed a dream world in which everyone is living their best life is preferable to the war-torn Ninja world.
* After adopting the persona of Tobi, he adopted a swirly mask pattern inspired from Tobi Zetsu which has a cool design.
* Manipulated Nagato into changing his organization, Akatsuki to suit his plans of collecting tailed beasts. He kept Nagato in the dark about his real plans while letting him think he's planning to use the Tailed Beasts to force peace by terrifying the world with the power of Ten-Tails.
* While recruiting Nagato, Obito told him about how smaller nations are sacrificed for the pride of the Five Great Nations, thus appealing to Nagato's own tragic past and convincing him.
* Kept several criminals, all S-Rank Ninjas, in check, and manipulated all of them under various pretenses to work together to collect the Tailed Beasts.
* Obito posed himself as Madara Uchiha so that he can sabotage Madara's plans to rule the Shinobi world, thus uniting several criminals with the sheer repute Madara had in his prime. Obito will also fool the Shinobi villages into thinking Madara has returned and wants vengeance on the villages, causing them to unite in fear of him.
* After Sasori's death, Obito partnered up with Deidara and had several comedic moments, which doesn't detract from his skilful nature.
* After Sasuke defeated Itachi, Obito told him the truth about the Uchiha Clan Massacre and Itachi's reluctance to participate in it, so that Sasuke will become his pawn and he can use him for his tasks, even anticipating Itachi's trap and countering it with Izanagi.
* Obito eventually got wary of Madara's god complex and decided to betray him to cast the Infinite Tsukoyomi for peaceful purposes, only getting foiled by Black Zetsu's machinations, which Obito had no idea about Black Zetsu and his true goals.
* Was ready to fight the entire Shinobi Alliance with just the Zetsus and his Rinnegan, and adopted Kabuto's plan as an alternative when he proposed an alliance.
* Skillfully manipulated the Shinobi Alliance into believing he's Madara until Kabuto unleashed the real Madara Uchiha onto the war.
* After Naruto unmasks him and Kakashi found out his true identity, Obito doesn't blame him anymore for Rin's death and solely finds the Ninja World responsible for her death.
* After killing Neji, Obito shared his views of the futility of the Ninja world and the constant wars used to prop it to Naruto, and nearly succeeded in changing his opinion, if not for Hinata's intervention.
* Lured Kakashi into attacking him so that he could remove the seal placed on his heart by Madara which forced obedience on him, using the opportunity to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
* Was conflicted by the clash of his former ideals and the "teachings" Madara influenced on him to mold him as his pawn, which was the sole reason anyone could stand a chance against him. After Naruto makes him realize this, he allows the Allied Shinobi Alliance to extract the Ten-Tails.
* Tried to revive everyone he, the Zetsus and the reincarnated Shinobi killed in the war before Black Zetsu hijacked him to revive Madara.
* Tricked Madara into letting his guard down so that he could steal the chakra of Gyuki and Kurama from him to heal Naruto.
* Figured out Kaguya's dimension techniques and helped Team 7 reunite with Sasuke.
* Sacrifices his life by saving Kakashi from Kaguya's Ash-Killing Bones, encouraging Naruto to become Hokage with his last words.
* Temporarily returned to the mortal realm to help Kakashi against Kaguya, loaning him his eyes, thus helping in the defeat of Kaguya.
* Apologized to Rin regarding his sins during his life.

## What Makes Him A Baddie?

* He brutally murdered the Kiri Ninjas for forcing Kakashi to kill Rin, not knowing that Madara was manipulating them as well.
* Killed several of the original Akatsuki when they tried to help Nagato, Yahiko and Konan against Hanzo and his army, contributing to Nagato's fall to villainy.
* Killed several ANBU members and extracted Kurama from Kushina, while taking baby Naruto as a hostage and tried to kill him.
* He used Kurama to attack the village and tried to kill his former sensei. Despite Minato successfully repelling him, Kurama tried to take vengeance against the village and tried to destroy the village, killing several Konoha civilians, forcing both Minato and Kushina to sacrifice themselves to stop Kurama and resulting in baby Naruto tragically growing up as an orphan and being hated by the village.
	+ The attack on Konoha will also make the village elders suspicious towards the Uchiha Clan, as they began planning a coup. Obito offered Itachi his assistance as Obito killed several of his own clan members, thus being responsible for Sasuke's fall to darkness.
* Obito manipulated Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage of the village, into "reforming" the Hidden Mist as the Blood Mist all in revenge for Rin's death, causing the deaths of several Shinobi until the rise of Zabuza Momochi.
* Obito, along with Pain, conducted several attacks on the Jinchurikis to collect the Tailed Beasts, resulting in the deaths of six Jinchurikis (including Gaara who was killed by the Akatsuki through the Tailed Beast extraction but was later revived by Chiyo).
	+ Tobi ordered Pain to take the Nine-Tails, thus making him responsible for the destruction of Konoha and the loss of countless lives (until Naruto managed to reform him).
	+ He also ordered Sasuke to retrieve the Eight-Tails, resulting in Sasuke's further corruption at his hands and the Raikage declaring Sasuke as an international criminal.
* Declared war on the Five Great Nations solely to capture Naruto and Killer B for his Infinite Tsukyomi plan.
* While Madara remains dead, Obito betrays him to usurp the Eye of the Moon Plan for himself.
* During the war, Obito was behind many evil acts such as summoning the Demonic Statue on the First Division Army to attack and kill many members of the Allied Shinobi forces, using the deceased jinchuuriki that he was responsible for killing as his puppets in his battle against Naruto and his allies, reviving the Ten-Tails and allowing it to kill hundreds of people and innocents, and becoming the Ten-Tails jinchuuriki to continue killing hundreds of people who stood in his way.
