Obito Uchiha (うちはオビト, Uchiha Obito) is a former chūnin-level shinobi from Konohagakure and a former member of Team Minato. Following a tragic loss, after his apparent death during the Third Shinobi World War, Obito took up the alias "Madara Uchiha" (うちはマダラ, Uchiha Madara) when fighting his former sensei, Minato Namikaze, and became an international criminal responsible for various felonies, including the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha. He is the co-leader of Akatsuki, and one of the four last survivors of the Uchiha clan along with Madara, Itachi, and Sasuke.
History
It was during the Third Shinobi World War, Kakashi was placed in charge of the team for a mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, which would hinder Iwagakure from using Kusagakure as a relief point. Before beginning the mission, Minato and Rin gave gifts to Kakashi to celebrate his promotion to jōnin, though Obito had forgotten thus straining an already poor relationship. Minato would soon be called to the front lines, leaving the team to carry on the mission alone.
The three were then discovered by Iwa-nin and Rin was captured. A rulebound Kakashi Hatake first decided to leave Rin behind, although his demeaner changed through Obito famous quote, "Those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash! If I'm going to be called trash either way, I'd rather break the rules! And if that somehow makes me anything less than a real shinobi, then I'll crush all of the so-called "real" shinobi!" (This quote will be continued to be later used by Kakashi after Obito's apparent death). After rescuing Obito, Kakashi suffered an injury causing him to loose his left eye.
When the two then rescued a restrained Rin, the Iwa ninja, Kakko, brought down the cave upon them fleeing the cavern. As the rocks tightened around him, Obito lamented that he had finally became friends with Kakashi and failed he couldn't confess his feelings for Rin. Afterwards, Minato rescued Kakashi and Rin and Obito was believed dead, his name marked in Konoha's memorial.
Infact, Obito did not die their, through unknown means, the elderly Madara Uchiha, rescued the Uchiha. Though his Sharingan was miraculously unharmed, the entire side of his body from the neck down was completely destroyed, prompting Madara to reconstruct half of his body using parts of Zetsu. Over a two year span, Obito finally recovered from the near fatal incident. White Zetsu alerted him to the fact that Kakashi and Rin were surrounded by Kirigakure-nin and in danger. Obito tried to punch through the wall blocking the Mountain Graveyard, but ended up destroying his right arm and barely breaking the wall. Spiral Zetsu, wanting to help and sure Madara would allow it, encased Obito with his body which gave him the strength to break the wall.
As Obito prepared to leave, he told Madara he had no intention of returning, but thanked him for saving his life. Madara in turn told him that he will return willingly and thank him truthfully. Using Spiral Zetsu to locate his friends, he learned that Minato was once again absent. On his way, Obito's left eye socket caught a glimps of what his left eye was actually seeing, but dismissed it as a panic thought. Upon reaching the battlefield, he was shocked to see Kakashi had run Rin through with his Chidori.
As Rin died before both of them, their Sharingan matured into the Mangekyō Sharingan and Kakashi passed out quickly afterwards. The Kiri-nin attempted to claim Rin's body for intel, prompting an enraged Obito to slaughter them with a combination of his Kamui ability and Wood Release sprouting from his body. After killing all the Kiri-nin and ignoring Kakashi completely, Obito cradled Rin's body and vowed he would create a world where she was alive again.
With new conviction he began to set "his" (truly Madara's) plan in motion, even being resposible for Minato and Kushina's deaths. Although once meeting Nagato after Yahiko's deaths, his view changed once Nagato recited how he wished for Yahiko's dream for peace to come true and how he was going to live by Yahiko's beliefs, enlighted how Rin's death reflected on himself. From then, Obito decided to help Nagato's plan.
