Biography

Origin

Obito Uchiha (Japanese: うちは オビト, Hepburn: Uchiha Obito) was a male human ninja of the Uchiha clan who resided in the village of Konohagakure in the Ninja World.

At the Academy, he underwent training where he longed to become a talented ninja who could become Hokage one day. In that time, he met Kakashi Hatake where he developed a one-sided rivalry with him and was jealously of his natural talent and popularity. Obito also came to meet Rin Nohara who became a close friend of his and in time he fell in love with her. Some years later, all three came to graduate from the Academy where they were placed in a team that was headed by Minato Namikaze.

Twelve years ago, he came to secretly visit Rin's grave in Konoha where he came to spy Kakashi there already where he heard in him confiding that Minato's wife Kushina Uzumaki would soon be giving birth. Obito knew that Kushina was the jinchūriki for the Nine-Tails and that childbirth was the one time when the seal around the Tailed-Beast was weakened. Thus, he determined that this was a good opportunity for him to claim the power of the Nine-Tails. As a result, on the night of October 10 he came to track down Kushina Uzumaki where he managed to bypass the barrier around the site and eliminated the Anbu bodyguards as well as the midwives. The Masked Man (仮面の男, Kamen no Otoko) managed to take the newborn Naruto Uzumaki as a hostage to prevent Minato from interfering. Despite that, Minato was able to recover his son and take him to safety but in the chaos that ensued Kushina had been taken by the Masked Man. He then released the Nine-Tails from her body and using his Sharingan came to control the beast who he ordered to destroy the hidden leaf. In this time, he came to battle his former sensei Minato where despite his skill he was defeated by the Fourth Hokage. However, he managed to flee the scene and in an effort to stop the Nine-Tails both Minato and his wife Kushina were forced to sacrifice themselves to stop Kuruma where the half of the Tailed-Beasts power was sealed away in their son Naruto.

With Sasori dead, Tobi was seemingly brought into the Akatsuki to maintain their numbers with him being paired off with Deidara as they continued their mission to hunt down the Tailed-Beasts.

Tobi then confronted the Hidden Leaf when they were in pursuit of Sasuke with his goal being to delay them and prevent them from going any further. This was until Itachi Uchiha was killed in a battle against his brother whereupon Tobi fled the scene. He then took the unconscious Sasuke to an Akatsuki base where his demeanour had now completely changed with him intending to reveal the truth about Itachi to his younger brother. This involved him showing part of his face that revealed that Sharingan thus highlighting the fact that Tobi was one of the Uchiha clan. It was then that a hidden failsafe was triggered where Sasuke developed a Mangekyō Sharingan that sent an Amaterasu at Tobi in an effort to kill him. However, he survived Itachi's last trick and proceeded to tell Sasuke how everything his brother had done was to protect him from harm. He also claimed that he was Madara Uchiha and that he had sought revenge against Konohagakure for their longstanding mistreatment of the Uchiha clan. Ultimately, his words convinced Sasuke to turn against the hidden leaf and seek about its destruction where he allied his forces with the Akatsuki.

Upon gathering, he decided that it was time to gather the last remaining Tailed-Beasts where he had Pain dispatched to Konohagakure in order to capture Naruto Uzumaki. Similarly, he had Sasuke Uchiha and his allies being sent to capture the Eight-Tails who was held by a jinchuriki from the hidden cloud village.

In this time, he came to learn that Nagato had been killed and worse was that he betrayed the Akatsuki as he used the rebirth jutsu to restore all those killed in he attack against the hidden leaf.

Teleporting to Sasuke's location, he expressed his dissatisfaction at the young Uchiha's failure in acquiring the Eight-Tails who he revealed was actually a substitution. He then revealed that he had a new mission for Sasuke and the Taka which was to disrupt the Five Kage Summit that was being called by the Raikage. Tobi believed that such a gathering would be a threat to his plans and could not allow an alliance to be formed by them. He gave an incentive for Sasuke by revealing that Danzō Shimura was attending the summit with the man being one of those responsible for the misery experienced by Itachi Uchiha. In reality, the reason why he dispatched Sasuke for this mission was for multiple reasons as he hoped the young Uchiha would have weakened several of the Kage in order for them to be taken hostage. Another reason was to improve Sasuke's visual jutsu and develop his sharingan even further by having him fight stronger opponents. Tobi though had to take part in the fight when Sasuke was nearly killed by the Tsuchikage's Dust Release technique where he used his transportation ability to take him to safety. He then had Karin sent to heal Sasuke whilst Tobi spoke to the Kage at the scene. 'Madara' claimed that he planned to have the Tailed-Beasts merged back to their original form as the Ten-Tails and use them to perform an Infinite Tsukuyomi that would bring about a lasing peace to the world by stripping free will from the inhabitants of the Ninja World. Thus, he demanded the Kage hand over the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails to him but they refused to comply with him. As a result, 'Madara' declared the start of the Fourth Great Shinobi War and that the next time they would meet would be on the battlefield as he teleported away.

He then intercepted the fleeing Danzō who was attempting to return to the hidden leaf alongside his bodyguards. This saw Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame attacking Tobi who despite their skill were easily defeated leaving Shimura alone. However, rather than fight him, Tobi instead teleported Sasuke to the scene where he had the Uchiha get his revenge for the destruction of his clan against Danzō. Observing the battle, Tobi witnessed as Shimura unleashed a range of stolen jutsu techniques through the Sharingan eyes he had implanted in his arm. Despite this power, he came to be defeated by Sasuke with Tobi pleased at seeing the young Uchiha manifest Susanoo. With Shimura defeated, Tobi looked to claim Shisui Uchiha's eye from him but Danzō activated a Reverse Four Symbols Sealing in an attempt to take his two enemies with him but failed to accomplish this trap. Tobi then took his body away and left Sasuke to get some rest from the recent battle. Tobi though found that Sasuke had not yet returned and teleported back to the scene to find the Uchiha in a battle against Naruto Uzumaki. Intervening, he teleported Sasuke back to their headquarters at the Mountains Graveyard where he requested to have his brothers eyes implanted in him to increase his power.

By this point, he looked to acquire the remaining jinchuriki where he had Sasuke and his team go after the Eight-Tails. Meanwhile, Pain and Konan were dispatched to the hidden leaf to acquire the Nine-Tails from Naruto.

Much to Tobi's surprise, Pain was defeated and even betrayed the Akatsuki by siding with Naruto after becoming inspired by him. This saw Nagato using the rebirth technique to restore the souls of everyone who had been killed in Konohagakure though died in the process. His body was taken by Konan back to their village where she similarly also left the ranks of the Akatsuki. Tobi decided to claim back the eyes in Nagato for himself and travelled to the village where Konan opposed him leading to an intense battle between the pair. Despite her preparations, Konan was defeated and killed by Tobi who then took Nagato's body away back to his headquarters. Whilst there

Overview

Personality and attributes

Upon being the leader of the Akatsuki, he began to claim that he was the Uchiha's legendary warrior Madara Uchiha (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara). To hide his identity, he had a tendency of wearing unique featureless masks that had a single opening for his eye where his foes referred to him as the Masked Man (仮面の男, Kamen no Otoko). He also came to make use of an alias where he went under the name of Tobi (トビ) to hide his various identities. After the real Madara was awakened, Tobi came to be known as the Masked Madara (仮面のマダラ, Kamen no Madara) until his true identity was revealed.

As the Masked Madara, his plan was to bring about the Infinite Tsukuyomi which he intended to perform using the moon. He believed that this would help end the endless cycle of violence by stripping free will from shinobi.

In his youth, he had a longstanding rivalry with Kakashi Hatake with the two often getting into arguments with one another.

At the hidden leaf, he came to love Rin Nohara but had never confessed his feelings for her.

Powers and abilities

As a genin, his skills were average at best where he struggled to match his classmates at the Academy.

Due to being an Uchiha, he was in possession of a Sharingan that allowed him to perform a number of Dōjutsu techniques. During his last mission for the hidden leaf, it cam to awaken with two tomoe which allowed him to track chakra signatures and predict movements. As it matured, he grow powerful enough to place a Tailed-Beast under his control allowing him to command them to follow him.

Among the techniques known to him included:

• Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (火遁・豪火球の術­, Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu) :
• Uchiha Flame Formation (うちは火炎陣­, Uchiha Kaenjin) :
• Kamui (神威­, Kamui) : a space-time ninjutsu that was unlocked after attaining the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. With it, he was able to transfer objects to and from another dimension with these characterised by a spiralling void that swirled in and out as they distorted the form of the target.

He was seemingly the mastermind behind the Akatsuki and served as their hidden leader.
