Long haired Tobi was Obito as well
In the latest chapter we see Madara with white hair as an old man. Should we consider this confirmation that Obito simply grew his hair out while he controlled Yagura and met Itachi? --M4ND0N (talk) 17:16, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Or. We could just wait and see what's going on in that half a frame before jumping to conclusions...--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 17:21, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Or Madara simply dyed his gray hair to look hot again, no way Obito has identical hair as him.--Elveonora (talk) 21:34, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Uchiha Madara ~Dying his hair so he can wear a mask even though virtually no one would recognize him. Personally I think Madara used the Rinne-tensei on Obito, and like Nagato, that's why he looks old in that last panel. How else could Trollbito survive the rocks? So I guess there could be two Tobis. Nothing is certain. Next week, I guess. --M4ND0N (talk) 03:16, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Cerez is right. WAIT before jumping to conclusions here. Too many possibilities here. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 06:25, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Elveonora, how exactly is it hard to believe that Obito grew his hair? It was years after Kurama's attack.--210.56.88.55 (talk) 09:41, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Yes,there sound was the also the same.--@sign. 18:14, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

The latest chapter shows a long-haired obito. we can begin to conclude that the actions of a masked man are indeed actions of obito...--Holyn (talk) 18:27, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hi everyone, while i`m not sure, Kisame has confirmed that's the man who met him in the past was obito (he didn't seem to wear a mask when controlled Yagura). When he met him in the present Kisame remembered him, and tobi even removed his masked though it wasn't shown and it's unknown if he was wearing any mask on that time, until naruto destroyed it. I don't want to jump the gun but that's only why i think, what about you teachers? ^_^. Anyone can check here:, and. Small brother (talk) 07:10, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

His age again~
Yo! I'm obviously not the only one who noticed this, but I want to bring it up here in case some of you have an opinion on it:

This timeline shows what the current facts are. Of course I can explain everything, but I'm sure you're able to figure it out by yourselves, huh? Anyway, opinions please :)

tl;dr: Obito is 34 now (ignoring months). Seelentau 愛議 21:27, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Care to explain how is 13+16/17 = 34?
 * EDIT: Kakashi was promoted to Jounin at 13, so ur/this timeline is wrong--Elveonora (talk) 21:29, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, if you prove me that Kakashi's Jounin age was 13. Obito is 34 years old because 18 (his age when he attacked Konoha) plus the time since then (16 years, Naruto's age) is 34. Seelentau 愛議 21:33, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Chapter 239 page 7, Obito was 14 during attack on Konoha--Elveonora (talk) 21:39, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is no age given for Kakashi's promotion in said chapter. And he's 18 in my timeline. Seelentau 愛議 21:42, September 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * The war has ended 1 year before the Tobi's attack on Konoha. That was over 16 years ago, as Kakashi is 30 now, he was 13 during the war. I really don't know how do you get 18, but please don't make yourself a fool as this is elementary school math.--Elveonora (talk) 21:47, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Well then, allow me to explain:

Obito's timeline is this: Genin at 9, Chūnin at 11, dies at 13.

Kakashis's timeline is this: Genin at 5, Chūnin at 6

We know that Obito and Kakashi were a team during the Chūnin exams, so it's likely that they were a team as Genin, too. For that to happen, they'd have to graduate at the same time, resulting in a four year gap in age between Obito (who was 9) and Kakashi (who was 5). Kakashi is promoted to Chūnin a year later at the age of 6, while Obito failed and promoted another year later, being 11 years old (Kakashi being 7). Two years later, Obito dies in the 3SWW at the age of 13, thus Kakashi being 9 (7+2=9) when he's promoted to Jōnin. So far, so good, right? No flaws, at least I can't see any.

Now we know that Tobito's attack on Konoha happened 16 years ago. Kakashi is 30 now and 30-16 is 14. He was 14 years old when Kurama attacked and 9 years old when Obito died, there's a 5 years gap. Because of this gap, Obito is 18, since 13 (his age when he died) plus 5 (the gap) equals 18. Seelentau 愛議 21:58, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

There's no gap, just read the trivia for "Obito Uchiha" chapter. Kakashi was 100% 13 during the war, recently promoted to Jounin and the attack happened a year after--Elveonora (talk) 22:13, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know about the Trivia, but it's just listing the problems. My timeline is explaining what seems to be inconsistency. The only remaining problem is Minato's head on the mountain, but that could simply be edited out in the Tankōbon version, while I doubt that Kishimoto-sensei would rewrite the entire chapter. Seelentau 愛議 22:21, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

The problem is, your timeline contradicts with earlier official establishments, thus is wrong. I wouldn't base any timelines upon the aforementioned chapter, if your timeline can explain how a yet-to-be-born person could attend the Academy with Kakashi and staff, we can take it into consideration then.--Elveonora (talk) 22:27, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

At least for Obito's age, the timeline seems to add up. In ShounenSuki's timeline, even he added that the promotion age was calculated under the assumption Obito and Kakashi were the same age, which might not be the case. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:45, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

So under the assumption that Obito is 4 years older than Kakashi, he must have been 17 during the 3rd Shinobi World War, while he looked to be the same age. The problem for this to work is Kakashi's age, he was surely 13 during the war, thus according to that, it doesn't work. Unless people get over the fact that Kishimoto doesn't know how to portray age of his drawings correctly. But I admit it's a pretty nice effort at cleaning up Kishi's canon mess up. Obito being 18 fighting Minato would be MUCH more believable. EDIT: you got me confused, or better I confuse myself now... everything seems to fit, except you had the gap between the war's end and Tobi attack wrong along with Obito's age during his "death" So more opinions on this, and if everyone agrees, I think we can change Obito's age to:
 * 1) time of death: 17
 * 2) Part II. 33-34--Elveonora (talk) 01:29, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

There's no way Obito was 17 at the time of his supposed death. I wish Kishi would release an actual timeline, though.. either way, his height speaks for itself, and the fact that he entered the academy at the same time as Kakashi. Obito doesn't fail THAT much. --M4ND0N (talk) 03:10, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

mh, I have to admit that in my tiredness, I forgot to consider that Kakashi and Obito entered the academy at the same time. This fact makes my timeline worthless >.< But I don't see how my gap could possibly be wrong, since I did not create it, but logic did. If we don't take into account my little mistake there, everything fits (again, without using months). Seelentau 愛議 05:14, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Did you not go to the Kakashi Talk page and check out the response that I wrote? http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Kakashi_Hatake#Kakashi.27s_age_during_the_Kakashi_Gaiden 173.66.119.89 (talk) 06:23, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Add up Itachi, Kakashi, Naruto and Gai's Ages. Check out their ninja reg numbers and their promotion ages. Then Check Obito and Rin's stats. You will see I am right 173.66.119.89 (talk) 06:23, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Funny. Everyone's saying Kakashi was 13 when he got promoted, but no one is able to prove it. Please do so, otherwise I won't take it into account for further calculating. The timeline isn't as screwed up as one might think. Only the aforementioned problem exists. Seelentau 愛議 14:22, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

You talk about logic, yet math isn't your strong point brother ;D Tobi's attack on Konoha happened after the 3rd Shinobi World War, and Kakashi was 14 during that time. Since the Gaiden portrays events before the attack, he got promoted before he turned 14, that's a given. Itachi witnessed a traumatic event from the war, and was 4-5 years old when the Fox decided to play around a bit. It's not believable for younger than 3-4 years old Itachi to have been there... he wouldn't even comprehend and recall something from earlier than that.

So by your theory, 13 (our Jounin promotion age) - 4 years = 9 (Kakashi's Jounin promotion age of yours) great.... a yet to be born Itachi had already a warfare trauma :O Do you need the math to go any further to get more proofs, brother? :)

The only problem now (if we go by a corrected version of your timeline) is to accept/deny that "viz Obito's infobox picture" was 17 there. I mean... might be delayed adolescence or simply Kishi's fail, like 11 years old Itachi being as tall as Orochimaru... all we need now are votes/voices by more naruto wikia members to decide if to change Obito's age to 34 or keep it the way it is and avoid further timeline/canon missteps--Elveonora (talk) 16:14, September 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm not THAT bad with maths. Kakashi was 14 when Kurama/Tobi attacked and the 3NWW ended before the attack. Itachi turned 4 a year prior to the attack, and even though I don't see what Itachi's to do with this, he still had one year to witness an event happening in the 3NWW. Where's the problem and where's your Kakashi-Jōnin-13-proof? Regarding Obito's official age given in the box, I wouldn't change it. He and Kakashi joined the academy at the same time, which renders my timeline invalid, but it's still pretty good 8) Seelentau 愛議 17:49, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

He couldn't witness anything if we go by your line of Kakashi being 9 when Obito has "died" as he was 14 during the Fox attack and Itachi 4-5, thus there's no chance as the Gaiden has marked close-to-end of the 3rd war, that would make the latter an infant back then, if not born yet. You got yourself confused now, there's no proof that all the class students have to be about the same age, y u no eating a scenario with Kakashi being 4 and Obito 8 during their first Academy day?

It all works, but for Obito looking too young--Elveonora (talk) 18:05, September 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Itachi was 5 when Kurama attacked. He had more than one year to witness a traumatic event in the war while being 4. Kakashi was actually 15. Obito died at the age of 13.
 * I know that Kakashi Gaiden happened near the WW's end, but we don't know how near. There is a possibility of it lasting anothert 4 or 5 years.
 * What did Obito prior to joining the academy, then?
 * Maybe I am confused, but only by you. What exactly are you getting at? Please just give me a valid source for Kakashi being 13 years old when he was promoted to Jōnin, I'll see what I can do afterwards. Seelentau 愛議 18:17, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Chapter 599
 * Obito: circa 4(x years 7 months) years older than Kakashi
 * 1) Academy = started along with Kakashi, as of age 8, graduated at 9
 * 2) Chunin = failed the exams twice, once at 9, then at 10 and succeed as 11 years old

[When Obito succeed, Kakashi was 7 and as of chapter 599 a recent promotion, thus they went fighting right after]
 * Kakashi: circa 4(x years 7 months) years younger than Obito
 * 1) Academy = started along with Obito, as of age 4, graduated at 5
 * 2) Chunin = promoted at 6 (Obito being 10 years old)
 * 3) Jounin = 7

Kakashi was 1 month after his 14th's birthday during the Fox's attack. When Kakashi turned 30, it was 15 years and 11 months after Obito's/Tobi's attack. Thus Obito/Tobi fought Minato as 19 years old.

Check it out, and let me know if there still are any plotholes, if not then it appears ur right and we can change (with agreement of course) his age to: --Elveonora (talk) 20:01, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Age at the time of a presumed death/Gaiden: 11
 * Part II: 34-35

Only Itachi's age and the trauma statement might be problematic, as he was 4-5 during the attack, and if he had seen an incident during the war, then that would mean it lasted about 6-7 years... sounds believable?--Elveonora (talk) 20:46, September 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * We don't know how old Kakashi and Obito were when they joined the academy, but Obito was (and is) 4 years older. Again, ignore the months, they're making this more complicated.
 * They graduated at 5 and 9. I don't know how many times Obito failed the Chūnin exams, but guessing from the chapter, I'd say only once at the age of 10 (same exam Kakashi succeeded in). Being 11, Obito became Chūnin. Two years later, he died at the age of 13 (his last given age as Obito), Kakashi being 9 years old (his Jōnin age). You see, it fits perfectly.
 * You're right about Kakashi being 14, I miscalculated that. Itachi was 5 during Kurama's attack and witnessed the 3WW at 4, meaning the WW lasted at least until one year prior to Naruto's birth and all.
 * So I'd say we should simply write "30-34" for Obito's age and correcting the promotion ages where it's due. That's all we can do, since as obvious as all this may be, it's only fan talk. I guess it's up to the community to add it, but seeing as how Tsunade's a presumed Raiton user...^^ Seelentau 愛議 20:59, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Read the Gaiden and chapter 599 again. Obito has succeed the exams at 11 and Kakashi was by then recently promoted to Jounin at 7... the 3rd Shinobi World War, or at least their participation occurred it appears in a range of few days at max, if not tomorrow. Obito has his birthday in February... thus an example: by the time Kakashi was 10 years and 5 months old, Obito turned 15. (thus there's 4 years and 7 months difference between them, depends on what part of a year it is, they are either 4 or 5 years younger/older from each other), that means: Obito is 35 now Unless we reverse it and Kakashi's birthdays comes first as a priority... example: by the time Kakashi turned 7, Obito was still 10 and only a few months later turned 11. (thus Obito being x years +/- 5 months younger), that means: Obito is 34 now
 * It takes at least 1 year to graduate, so Kakashi had come as 4 at the earliest, and Obito 8 (assuming it took him 1 year as well to graduate, unless he was there like for 5 years already, but that sounds like an epic failure if you ask me) not to mention the time when they started is completely irrelevant that's just an estimate... the only thing that matters is, that they were a team.
 * Months are important, they can make a 1 year difference, sometimes even 2.
 * Viz. chapter 599, Obito failed twice, but the Chunin exams age graduation is what matters, so it's trivial if it was just once.
 * From where did you get that Obito had died 2 years later at the age of 13?
 * Kakashi's birthday is in September, that means, the current events of manga are already past this point as Kakashi is 30. Naruto's birthday is October, thus Kakashi is 15 years and 11 months older.

Tobi's age is 100% 34-35 if we switch to this new timeline, it fixes all the errors around these, and is more official than ShounenSuki's opinion/guess that "it's safe to assume that they are the same old" etc. --Elveonora (talk) 21:55, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

You all are still missing a few things. Gai Rin and Obito's registration numbers are very close and they all have the same chuunin graduation age. Gai is 8 months older than Kakashi and Obito is 7 months older. Kakashi was 14 and 25 days older than Naruto. It was said soon after the bridge was destroyed the war ended and Minato was elected Hokage. Obito was a class mate of Gai and Kakashi too. So he is 31 at most 29 at least. You guys are just trying to make his age fit that way so you can make EVERYTHING fit. Just remember there is errors here and he is about the same age as Kakashi there is no other way to put it honestly. I did the math countless times with the databook evidence and manga evidence. 33-34 came up a few times in some calculations, but in most of the logical and leeway accepting calculations 30-31 came up. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 21:28, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

@unnamed user, it's nice you want to save some space, but feel free to post in a standard way and please, add up your calculations for comparison. I'm really interested. Even though Aren't these A LOT used references just some notes from ShounenSuki's timeline? Like, can you provide lines from the databooks/manga that:
 * the war ended shortly after the bridge was destroyed (not to mention if it's there, shortly isn't a definite term)
 * it was considered and argued about that all the classmates do not have to be around the same age
 * no one is trying to fit everything, just official information from manga and databooks, so we provide the most official "facts" as possible instead of "logical assumptions"
 * According to chapter 599 and Gaiden, the war has started right after Obito's promotion to Chunin and Kakashi's to Jounin. Obito was 11 so Kakashi 7... the number 13 again came from the assumption of Obito and Kakashi being the same old, thus it's invalid now.

We can't list things as facts without a reference, and the reference has to be based upon official things not guesses.--Elveonora (talk) 13:52, September 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * arghs, this discussion is confusing now, ya'll talk without any paragraphs and one even without user name, so who's anwering who? I'm confused! :( Elve-kun, have you answered me? I can't see through this anymore ._. Seelentau 愛議 15:06, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

EDIT: doesn't matter, both of you please answer to both and all--Elveonora (talk) 15:55, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Obito is confirmed to have "died" at 13 during the end of the war and that image does not mean he went off to war straight after he became chunin, in fact it is 2 diff scenes in that chapter. He has his chunin papers in one and in the other he has flowers at a later and different time, we have no solid clue the time frame between those two scenes and it is presumptuous to assume one and just an opinion, it is fact he was chuunin at 11 and kakashi was chuunin at 6. it is also obito he "died" at 13, reg numbers combined with obito, itachi, gai, naruto, rin and kakashi's databook profiles helps with the facts, but then again we wont know till databook 4 or a official timeline 173.66.119.89 (talk) 21:28, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Again, where are the sources for the mysterious number 13?--Elveonora (talk) 21:51, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * The 13 comes from the databook. It's Obitos age when he died and not made up by me or anyone else. Seelentau 愛議 10:52, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Just something I'd like to say for those trying to say Kakashi and Obito were/are the same age. Kakashi, in Part I, stated that he was promoted to Chuunin when he was 6 years younger than Naruto, who was 12 at the time. Do the math. This means in the recent chapter's flashbacks, Kakashi was six when he was shown with his new Chuunin vest. This is key to proving Obito was older than Kakashi, not the same age. Obito graduated from the academy at nine, was on the same team as Kakashi, who acquired his Chuunin rank at age six...so how the hell could they be the same age? -Alexdhamp (talk) 18:23, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

So, Elve-kun, is there anything unclear, do you have any questions? As I said, I can't see through this discussion anymore, so please just ask me and I'll try to answer or to clarify it. Seelentau 愛議 08:08, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Can you provide the databook reference/mention? if yes and it really was 13, then this whole topic is pointless and I will just restore the trivia "_" --Elveonora (talk) 21:51, September 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * What exactly? Obito's only given age is 13, his age of death. It stems from his databook entry (proof). As for Kakashi's "Jōnin-13", it's obviously wrong, as I proved at the top of this discussion. Seelentau 愛議 22:57, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

I see, it's correct then. I did calculate Obito's age right though, or at least the results are same 34-35 (depends on the way the months are approached) so Kakashi is a Jounin since 9. Now it's only up to admins, answers would be nice. There are no plotholes now in this case --Elveonora (talk) 23:18, September 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Then please explain to me how Obito and Kakashi could join the academy at the same time, spend the same year(s) studying and graduated at the same time, when Obito is four years older? Seelentau 愛議 23:38, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

They were never shown graduating the academy together, they were shown entering the academy together AND participating in one chunin selection exam together. That was it. So you don't know the facts. Databook 4 is the only real hope for a solid time frame. 173.66.119.89 (talk) 04:03, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * They were a team in the Chūnin exam (being Genin at that time) => they were a Genin team => they must've graduated at the same time. Seelentau 愛議 10:47, September 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is it so hard to believe Kakashi was trained exclusively by Minato from 5 until his other teammmates were intergrated into his team. (them all being relatively the same age) Kakashi is 19-30 now so 16 years ago he would have been 13-14 only one year after gaiden.(supposedly) say Obito is the the same age as Kaka. now...they would be the same age. 14 during the Kyuubi's attack. Maybe Madara or some younger Uchiha used Obito's eye's (Transplanted) Mangekyou abilities for the Kyuubi's attack?
 * ...yes, it is. There are no reasons to believe that Kakashi hat undergone a special training or so. Seelentau 愛議 18:37, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

@Seelentau, where is it stated that the students have to be of the same age? I don't find it impossible for Obito and Kakashi visiting the same class and there being 4 year difference between them...--Elveonora (talk) 17:53, September 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, I've people in my classes who're 16 and 24 years old. Nothing special. So everything fits now, right? Or are there any other questions? Seelentau 愛議 18:37, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

No, everything fits. We should conclude this topic already as it's getting too long to scroll down :P we just need a "go" from the admins, because I won't edit something without others agreeing to prevent wars and arguing--Elveonora (talk) 18:43, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

The fact I had to read this topic more than once makes me feel that it's best not to list a current age for him. I'm either sleepy or the timeline is still confuse to reliably determine his age.

Ur sleepy :P it's pretty simple, Obito is either 3 years 5 months or 4 years 7 months older than Kakashi, one way or another, he is 34-35 and Kakashi got promoted to Jounin at 9 since Obito really as of databook died at 13--Elveonora (talk) 00:49, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Elvenora, read this part again that you've put: "Hashirama was also able to use medical ninjutsu. His skill with which were such that he could heal himself without forming seals - Now, it states HASHIRAMA. It was HIS skills. Just because Obito may have his DNA, does not mean he has his medical skills or medical ninjutsu know how. That's like saying just because Tsuande has his DNA by being one his descendants, means she can also do this. Which she hasn't been shown to do, even though she is highly skilled. This leaves your argument, invalid. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 06:25, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

For two panels, this is way too much speculation. I've seen Sakura do the same thing (heal herself without seals) but I've never seen bruises vanish with any medical nin. We of all people should know Tobi's right side is not "human" for want of a better word, so why not actually wait until Kishimoto explains those two subtle little frames, so there's more to go off that calling it "healing or regeneration"?--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 10:30, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

@Susanoo, "sigh" Hashirama's cells/DNA gives extra powers/properties... hell it's an answer for everything an Uchiha need ;D @Cerez, that's what I mean. His half of the body or at least arm is artificial, clearly Hashi/Zetsu make-up "_" To that medical ninja part, I find it funny that a SELF HEALING ability was enough to list Hashirama as a medical-nin, while Tobi/Obito has surgical skills and apparently similar regenerative ability, yet he isn't one--Elveonora (talk) 15:46, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

It may have been premature or maybe inaccurate to list him as a medical ninja, even though he practised the use of medical-ninjutsu, but people don't necessarily have to be medical-nins in order to be able to carry out experiments or surgery especially when for one, we know nothing about the process to transplant and integrate eyes and secondly, it is related to one specific/Uchiha-related thing that they would have to know about i.e. the transfer of eyes.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 15:55, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Right Side of the body

 * Obito's right half, more than likely is entirely artificial, or at least his hand is. In chapter 601 we see that he doesn't have it any at all when Madara stapled him back together.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 18:30, September 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * to me it seems his right arm is just wrapped in the bandages, close to his body. you can see the volume of the arm...--Holyn (talk) 15:39, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

 * The arm is a prosthetic in that it's a replacement for the arm he lost(at least three times now). Still, I wouldn't call it 'artificial' as such. It appears to be made of living tissue like with Zetsu. The rest of the body, though, I'm not certain, but I'm thinking he just recovered it naturally with enough time, given that his face wasn't white. Skarn22 (talk) 19:46, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Obito mentions in the article
I really would hate to beat a dead horse here, but this article looks terrible. The plot section is fine, because it mentions Tobi for most of the actions Obito did under the Tobi guise and Obito for the things following the reveal; great. But is that really necessary for the appearance, personality, and abilities section? I mean, it really is frustrating to be reading "Obito has the ability to..." and then in the next sentence, "Tobi can also...". This constant flip-flop between Tobi and Obito's name in sections other than the plot make this article look all over the place and very disorganized. As for anything other than the plot, at least on this article, I think the Tobi references should be changed to Obito. Its fine for the plot section, because we want to show what he did as Tobi and what he did as Obito, but that isn't necessary for the abilities section, since it is all Obito's doing. His abilities as "Tobi" aren't different from his abilities as Obito, because its all him. I realize this may take time, but I'm willing to do it myself with approval from the community. Thoughts? ~ Ten Tailed Fox 05:11, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

I am sure the readers do understand that it is all Obito's abilities even when its written Tobi its not that much of a problem, actually it's hardly noticed, don't you feel that you're kinda exaggerating. Anyways I still think you're right, the change should be done.--Charmanking2198 (talk) 16:07, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Tobi / Obito name mixup
I know this has been addressed already for the ability section, but I really feel we should take this up a step further. During most of the times we list Obito as "Tobi" in the story section, he was using Madara's name. I know we can't list him as such, because he isn't Madara. But since his identity has been revealed, shouldn't we just replace Tobi's name with Obito on every part of the article and other articles to avoid confusion? Obito stopped using the Tobi alias around the Itachi retrieval arc, there's no excuse for using it to reference portions of the articles about plotlines where he didn't even use the name imo. --M4ND0N (talk) 06:51, September 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Truthfully, I have to agree. Reason being we did the same for Kazuma. Even though he went by an alias, his Plot and Background sections sill call him Kazuma. Furthermore, as M4DON accurately mentions, Obito dropped the Tobi alias a long time ago. When Naruto discovered he wasn't the real Madara, he told Naruto he could call him either Tobi or Madara, but that it didn't matter to him, because his name didn't matter. That's no excuse to use the Tobi alias now. Obito is Obito. Saying something like "Obito, under the guise of Tobi" or "Obito, then disguised as Tobi/Madara" should suffice. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to ask we switch all the "Tobi" references to Madara since that's who he was disguised as earlier in the series. Its ridiculous to say "call him Tobi for [Insert Plot arc Title Here]" because that's who his alias was, when we don't call him Madara in the article despite him using that alias for a good while too. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 17:32, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * EDIT: And if all you're really worried about is having to change all those references, I will personally volunteer to do it myself. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 17:33, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * You have a point, but isn't part of the issue that we don't know everything for certain? Like, for example, there's debate that some of the actions of 'Tobi' may have been perpetrated by another individual. Like the deal with Yagura. I know it seems like speculation, but really, did we see anything that showed us it could only have been him? Skarn22 (talk) 18:43, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * The point is, Tobi is a generalization for 'the masked guy doing all of this stuff' whereas Obito is just Obito. Unless we know for certain that it's all his doing, I'm not sure it's wise to commit to that. If you ask me, it was a mistake to merge the articles so soon when we know so little of what was actually him believing and saying things(as far as personality) and doing things(abilities), and how much was just him pretending to be Madara(saying I believe such and such and taking credit for things that Madara did which he may not be able to do at all). But this is all just my opinion. I figure we're sure to have to move things around with every chapter that comes out since this stuff is basically unknowable and unpredictable anyhow. Edit: forgot to log in first, my bad. Skarn22 (talk) 18:43, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

That's not the point. We know that everything in the Plot section here on Obito's page was done by Obito, using either Madara's name or the Tobi alias. What we're saying is that, since we don't call him Madara in the sections where he went by that name, we shouldn't call him Tobi in the sections where he went about as Tobi. Especially since he stopped using his Tobi alias back in the Search for Itachi arc. It would be much simpler to just call him Obito everywhere, since that is who he is, rather than constantly switch back and forth from Tobi to Obito. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 18:54, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. And actually, looking it over, it looks like the current policy is to assume everything was done by Obito for now as well. In that case, I agree. It's simpler to just use his name, along with appropriately-placed pronouns. Skarn22 (talk) 19:22, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

That's horrible logic as the (once) masked man is hardly Obito anymore. So he has the same body, big deal. His personality, his abilities, his beliefs, virtually everything about him is different from the Obito persona we once knew. In addition, there's the fact he no longer believes "his" old name holds any value, yet would rather be called Tobi or Madara. I believe the name "Tobi" used in this article is to more or less represent a completely different character apart from the previous Obito. I personally cannot fathom that the arguably stupidest kid in the Narutoverse has become one of the most evil masterminds and most intelligent beings in the series. In regards to the timeline, I thoroughly disagree he should be called Obito until he at least acknowledges it himself/we have learned every shred of his background. --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 19:37, September 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Forgive me if this seems rude, but it really doesn't matter if you agree or if you can "comprehend" Obito as Tobi. He is who he is and that is fact. It doesn't matter how much he's changed or what he formerly was, he is who he is now and that's all we know. Your comments are purely motivated by your bitterness towards the current situation in the manga; a side effect several in the fandom seem to be suffering at the moment. We know that everything that has been perpetrated by Tobi in the present time (so the Plot section of this article) can accurately attributed to Obito Uchiha and, unless we decide to start calling him Madara in the sections where he was, in-story, calling himself "Madara" then it is, in my opinion, and clearly the opinions of others that is utterly useless to keep referring to him as Tobi in the Plot section and the background sections we know to be Obito. Keep your speculation that he's "someone else because he changed too much" out of this. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 19:41, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

It's not speculation that Tobi is a completely different character apart from Obito. You're jumping to conclusions by wanting to reword the entire article anyways since we don't know Tobi's background in depth. There are far too many flaws and inconsistencies in Tobi's history to determine he is one character or another, namely him controlling Yagura, statements like "do you have ANY idea how long I've been waiting for this" when it would have only been a year since he became "Tobi", and his emotions toward Izuna, yet disregard for Rin, who was supposedly the reason for him changing in the first place. I could go on, but I think you understand the point I'm trying to get across.

I don't see why it's so hard for you to have patience and wait for everything to be explained. Do you not have anything better to do than change every "Tobi" to "Obito" in his article? --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 20:11, September 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course. To anybody who hasn't read the last twenty chapters, of course it's still speculation! Oh wait, you did read it? Oh, well then, shall I call you any rude form of the word idiot? I'm not sure whether it's ignorance or simple denial that you're still attempting to refute the fact that Obito is Tobi. The dude had his goddamn mask BLOWN OFF by Naruto, and who was behind that mask? Hmm... I'll take Obito for 500, Alex. I don't see what more explanation you're waiting for, other than Obito's face being behind the mask of Tobi. And Madara calling him Obito. And Obito admitting to doing all of this. And Obito, while still masked a few chapters back, confessed to being Tobi. What else are you looking for? Would you like Kishimoto to hold your hand as you cross the street of absolute denial to get these answers you're waiting for? If you have a personal problem with Obito being Tobi, great for you. Go rage about it on some forum. But as far as the FACTS are concerned, Kishi has confirmed Tobi to be Obito, and you just have to deal with it. --Silver-Haired Seireitou (talk) 20:20, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Unless somehow the Tobi from the beginning of Part 2 switched with Obito sometime after killing Konan, god forbid, then there should be no debate. Obito told Kakashi that he didn't reveal himself because the latter let Rin die. He knows Rin, and that's that. Is it so inconceivable that Obito grew his hair out while controlling Yagura? Fair enough, we don't know, and that's why we specify that during the parts that address that part. Another thing, Kakashi and Gai weren't THAT young when Obito attacked the village before the start of the series, added to the immature manner of speaking Obito adapted during that time [something that made me suspicious even then, by the way]. He used Kamui, a jutsu only he and Kakashi can use, and his arm dripped with zetsu goo after Minato royally pwned him. I don't see why these edits are being delayed simply because the "timelines don't match." You do realize that Tobi/Obito said all those things because he was acting as Madara, right? It's confirmed that Madara saved him, so it's easy to speculate that Madara taught him all about his history. But even outside unconfirmed speculation, I can tell you this, based on what's confirmed and based on what I'm suggesting.

1. Tobi is Obito, no questions asked. We don't need more confirmation.

2. Whether or not long-haired Tobi was Obito or not doesn't matter, I'm not talking about those portions of the article, even though it's pretty obvious that this masked man was Obito too, since Madara had white hair at that point in time.

My point is, since we know he's Obito, we should change all references to Tobi's name to Obito's instead. Because not doing so makes the article look messy and inconsistent. I can't believe this is even a debate. People who still deny Tobi is Obito should have no say in how the article is maintained. On chapter 499 I could sort of understand the shock and lack of information creating a doubt among anti-Obito theorists, but this is ridiculous. --M4ND0N (talk) 20:40, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Why is this even being discussed here? talk it out on the policy page that deals with manual of style. — S im A nt 23:16, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

I think it's appropriate to call Obito Madara in the sections of plot when he still went my that alias. Simply changing everything to Obito is short-sighted. Someone brought up Kazuma. Kazuma was also thought to be dead, and he did go by a different name, but his different name was just that. He didn't pretend to be someone else entirely, which Obito did, as Madara. Changing everything to Obito is the equivalent of changing tailed beast names in every article, which should not be done, as it creates anachronisms. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:44, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Armageddon must be upon us; I actually agree with Omni for once. Referring to Madara until he is exposed as a fake (when the real Madara is resurrected), then calling him Tobi for the remainder. However, should he be referred to as Obito after the mask comes off? --Uchiha Suraku (talk) 00:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Of course he should. He's Obito. I have to disagree with Omni, calling him Madara on top of Tobi / Obito would make the article messier than it already is. Besides, Tobi was an alias he used to hide his real name, and Madara was an alias he used to start a war. That's all these things are, Obito's aliases. --M4ND0N (talk) 02:05, September 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree with the above. Switching between Madara, Tobi, and Obito is just pointless, regardless of how you look at it. Obito is Obito. Those are just nicknames. Its irritating to switch from one to the next and is misleading to readers. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 03:40, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

I agree with ten tailed fox, Tobi was just a fake name used so he could keep his real identity secret, we all know who he is now so there is no point in keeping that or madara on obito's page anywhere but as nick names or alias's 173.66.119.89 (talk) 11:13, September 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, as to the argument concerning the Tailed beasts, I am pretty sure that the name Kurama is popping up in multiple sections, both in its Plot and Background, as well as in many other articles, where its name has not been revealed. See Madara Uchiha's page, or even this one, or in the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha page, for examples. Point is, if we know their real name, it is pointless and arbitrary to continue citing their monikers in their articles, save for at the very beginning, or in sections detailing how they got that moniker. Readers are going to know Obito is Tobi. Just as they are going to know Kurama is the Nine-Tails. Why then, are we going to refer to Obito as Tobi and Madara in the Plot section? That's just confusing. Especially since, at least in Madara's case, the real Madara popped back up, and now Obito as "Madara" is popping up in Konan's, Obito's article, and anyone who came into contact with Obito as Madara, by the current policy, which makes no sense whatsoever. Just change all occurrences of Tobi to Obito. If necessary, you can throw in, as I suggested "Obito, under the guise of Madara" or "Obito, disguised as Tobi"; something of that nature. But keeping the use of the nicknames is pretty lazy of us. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 13:47, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Completely agreed. There shouldn't be a double standard for Obito, even if a few people don't like how the plot turned out. He's Obito, and that's just how it is. The Tobi who met Kisame was also Obito, since he recognized his unmasked face. Can we skip all this delaying and speculation? I'll personally help Ten Tailed undergo the edits if the admins give their consent. --M4ND0N (talk) 15:02, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is not delaying and speculation it is writing in-universe, also i'm not sure who changed Nine-Tailed Demon Fox to kurama throughout the article but it should be fixed. — S im A nt 20:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

It's not a mistake that needs to be fixed. It's a decision that's agreed upon throughout the wiki. The Tailed Beasts have actual names, so we changed it accordingly. Obito should be treated the same way. --M4ND0N (talk) 21:10, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Decision agreed upon? I thought that was the wiki policy. From the policy "Articles should be independent of any point in the series, it should not be required that pages be update every time a new event happens in the timeline simply because articles were written from the perspective of someone reading on the latest chapter" and "Articles should be written in an in-universe style". — S im A nt 21:18, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Exactly. I'm all for it, and due to the policy I think it's the proper course of action. And since we have admin approval, I guess that's an okay? I'll do my part. --M4ND0N (talk) 22:33, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * What? who said i approved? I was saying i thought Decisions that were agreed upon were policy, this is not in policy.I was referencing a counter argument. — S im A nt 22:45, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, sorry, I got caught up in the momentum. I still think there should be an exception for Obito, since he wasn't referred to as Tobi during those portions of the article that refer to the Nine-Tails attack. And he wasn't referred to at Tobi during the parts of the timeline where he took up Madara's mantle. So in my opinion, it's too complicated to simply call him Tobi, since he rarely used that name aside from the beginning. --M4ND0N (talk) 22:54, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * During the nine-tails attack he was speculated to be madara by minato, but if i recall correctly he was referred to as the masked man or something to that effect. I don't see a problem with writing it as "masked man" during the nine tails portion. PS: I think that only the plot sections, character intro, and arc pages should do this. — S im A nt  22:58, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

That's true enough. But I honestly don't see the harm in calling him Obito since his name was largely ambiguous during the time we called him Tobi. His name is revealed, and we did do this for Kazuma. I like to think we don't go by a double standard method of maintaining the wikia. --M4ND0N (talk) 23:13, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Tailed beast names only popped up in those places because we failed to revert all the times that people kept adding them back. Is Kazuma referred to as Kazuma, in, for example, episode pages before the revelation Furido was Kazuma? He should be called Furido in those instances. Even when Obito was going by Madara, Zetsu still referred to him as Tobi. Did anyone call Obito Tobi between the revelation of him not being Madara and the one of him being Obito? When he was not Madara, we kept on calling him Tobi, because that was the only name only he went by. He should be called either Tobi or masked man in those instances.

It was said in the chapter by Obito that Madara was his ancestor. That is a surprise to me. I wonder how many generations he is descended from Madara. --Senjuto 16:36, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

Madara is the ancestor of the whole (current) Uchiha clan members. We aren't sure if they are related from the same line. But if they are blood related, then maybe that one of the reasons why Madara decide to save Obito life. Hopemon (talk) 17:32, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

[The translation for posterity:

オレの (oreno) = my

ご (go) = precious/dear

First of all to clear up I don't think people understand what an ancestor is separate from what a relative is. Madara is not the ancestor of the whole "current" Uchiha clan. The only way that would be possible is if the Uchiha had died out and Madara single-handedly repopulated the clan, which would mean all Uchiha are in fact descended from him instead of being related to him. That being said. I confirmed the kanji above to match the raws which means Obito referred to Madara as his forefather meaning he is directly descended from Madara.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 18:44, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure how we deal with people being an ancestor of someone (except for the Sage's sons), so I think we should wait for possibly others to chime in.

Kishi disagrees, unless you can provide a canonical source for that. Obito is 34-35, not just it goes with chapter 599 and databooks, but also fixed the logistical things, like Obito didn't fight Minato a year later, but more than 5. Obito died as 13, and Kakashi turned Jounin back then recently... since he is 4 years younger, he was 9.

It was TWO different scenes.... one is when he became chunin, the other is when he tries to give Rin flowers and is pushed aside for Kakashi's surprise ordeal. It is not "Kishi disagrees" it is you and your blatant speculation and thoughts that disagrees.

 * Parts of the story where his identity was secret will continue to refer to him as Tobi. The same thing was indeed done when Tobi said he was Madara Uchiha.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 13:51, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * (EC) Whatever things were done by him under the alias Tobi, should be written to be done by Tobi (atleast for now). 13:55, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * But he didn't do anything under the alias "Tobi" apart from his goofy personality. First he was Tobi, then Madara, then the Masked Man, and now Obito. He was never named Tobi after the Madara revelation. Just look at this: TheUltimate3: No links. ಠ_ಠ


 * The only instance I recall someone calling him Tobi after he revealed himself as Madara was Kabuto, who then went to say "you go by Madara now right", Sasori I think, who said something like "and my replacement Tobi". Zetsu might have called him Tobi at some point, but I don't recall. If Zetsu did call him Tobi at some point, I think it's justifiable to call him Tobi in those instances if, and only if, Zetsu kept on calling him Tobi. If he didn't, masked man is just fine.

Zetsu still calls Obito as Tobi--Elveonora (talk) 17:28, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Omni, you're correct. Zetsu called Obito "Tobi" even when he was masquerading as Madara. He has actually never called him anything but Tobi. Sasori, I don't recall ever calling him anything. But he's pretty much been called Tobi by just about everyone else. It may be a translation error, but even Sasuke and the Edo Tensei Itachi called him Tobi after he was revealed to have not been Madara. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 17:54, September 21, 2012 (UTC)

I really don't see a reason he shouldn't or couldn't be called Tobi in instances. Though it's an alias, it doesn't mean we have to do away with it. Kurama is still the Nine-Tail(s)-ed Demon Fox to some people but others like Naruto, would probably not call it that again but that doesn't mean its no longer an alias of the beast. Also, loooool @ Ulti's link removing message, a template should be created for that XD --Cerez 365 ™(talk) 18:27, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Personally, I'm annoyed with the continued usage of the Tobi alias though his name has been revealed. Same with the continued usage of Madara in sections that he was called Madara. I noticed that they didn't do this on Konan's page because, according to the edit summary, he was called Tobi then, which is absolutely false. Obito himself called himself Madara Uchiha during the fight and even Konan called him Madara, but that causes problems see. Because the original Madara has popped back up, now we are calling Obito "Madara" and Madara "Madara" and it really just looks bad. It'd be one thing if they said "Obito, then disguised as Madara" or something to that effect, but whatever. Honestly, the policy just doesn't make any sense but if that's what the administration has decided then I'm not gonna fight it anymore. ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 19:47, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * We're not the ones who decided that he would have this many aliases or false identities. If links are there, it can be piped to Obito, or if it makes most people happy, in instances where it is appropriate, to call him masked man. It's also possible to put the instances which refer to Obito in quotation marks, like "Madara", which would signal that it's not really the actual Madara. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:53, September 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do note, the issue with calling him "Masked Man" is that that is in no way shape or form a name. "Tobi" is a name. "Masked Man" is a description because he was indeed, a guy with a mask over his head.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 00:11, September 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * All I'm saying is that it is extremely dumb, in my opinion, to call Obito "Tobi" or "Madara", Kurama "Nine-Tails", etc. We know their names. When the name is plastered all over their articles and their jutsu, continuing to call them by their monikers in the Plot and Background sections makes the article look terrible. Its annoying to read and it makes the article look inconsistent. That'd be like calling Minato just the "Fourth Hokage" or the "Yellow Flash" in sections where he was only known by that (which was quite sometime in the case of the Fourth Hokage title). It just doesn't make any logical sense. Do as you wish, but a simple "Obito, then known as Tobi" or "Obito, under the guise of Madara" would suffice all the explanation a reader would need and there would be no need to continue on calling him "Tobi" or "Madara". Why is that so hard to do? ~ Ten Tailed Fox Yamagakure Symbol.svg 01:04, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * He was also called "Masked Madara" in chapter 573. — S im A nt 01:35, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm confused by what's being disputed. Is it that he's called Tobi in his own article, or that he's called Tobi in all articles? Because those are separate issues. 72.192.156.86 (talk) 03:33, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree with ten tailed fox.--Holyn (talk) 16:30, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

From Itachi's page
 * "Before the fateful night arrived, Itachi discovered the existence of Tobi — under the guise of a vengeful Madara Uchiha — who was attempting to rekindle the flames of war in Konoha."

Why can't we do this with Obito's name? This is exactly what I was suggesting. It still notes that Obito was under the guise of Madara/Tobi, but acknowledges that neither are his true identity at the same time. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 21:03, September 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * A character's true identity is not relevant to every topic. It is not relevant to Haku that the Nine-Tails' name is Kurama, it is not relevant to Darui that the Raikage's name is A, it is not relevant to Kiba that's Pain's real name is Nagato. In the same way, it is not relevant to Sasori that he was replaced by Obito - who he knew as Tobi, it is not relevant to Temari that Obito - who was pretending to be Madara - interrupted the Kage Summit, and it is not relevant to Choza that the Demonic Statue he fought was summoned by Obito - who is better known as Tobi but at the time was thought to be Madara.

Wood Release
Wouldn't Obito be capable of Wood Release due to the attachment of a Zetsu to his body? Skarrj (talk) 22:45, September 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily. He's got Zetsu attached to him, but he has displayed zero Wood Release techniques. In fact, the only thing he has actually shown doing was Kamui, Earth Release, Fire Release (if that Barrier counts but I can't remember).--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 23:05, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Obito used Great Fireball before his supposed death, and a new Fire Release after being exposed as Obito. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:08, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * But having a portion of another's body has been shown to give you the potential to use their elemental abilities. Danzo used Shisui's arm to lessen the drain of chakra the Sharingans' Izanagi had. Kakuzu intergrating people's hearts. The Chimera Technique absorbing organs for use in gaining Kekkei Genkai/Chakra Natures. I'm not saying Obito knows how to use Wood Release, but I'm pretty certain that he has the potential to- Not knowledge. Skarrj (talk) 23:28, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't really add him either. Even though he has Hashirama's DNA and all. If I remember correctly, no one else was added just because they had it, but after they had either shown the ability to, or mentioned to be able to use it.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 00:00, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Think about it this way, we saw Zetsu use Wood Release, both halves... this guy is merged with "Zetsu" so I don't see why his case should be treated differently--Elveonora (talk) 01:04, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Obito was never seen using wood release. Even though he theoretically cloud, if he hasn't been seen using it, it wouldn't be appropriate to put it on the page. Besides, all we know is that Obito's destroyed half is made of Zetsu goo. That doesn't mean he has his DNA / Kekkei Genkai, etc. --M4ND0N (talk) 05:23, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

He's seen using it as of the latest chapter. Though its barely noticable. If one doesn't pay close enough attention, one might confuse it with him balancing a random twig. But where's he going to find that underground? MangekyoSasuke (talk) 06:59, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

i agree...i think we can put it now...--Saeyatachi (talk) 07:04, September 26, 2012 (UTC)Saeyatachi

Yes i agree, after the latest chapter it look like , Obito does indeed have wood release , he made a tree branch come out of his hand...--Tchad1 (talk) 09:35, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * As of the latest chapter, all Obito has done is balanced a piece of stick in his hand.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 09:42, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought he grew the stick in his hand.--TheUltimate3 Allied Shinobi Forces Symbol.svg (talk) 11:04, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Isn't there a "growing" noise? --Elveonora (talk) 11:11, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

edit conflict I don't think so. For one, plants don't grow like that (downwards I mean), also look at the end of the stick, it's broken. Along with that, it's not as if there isn't an abundance of sticks around (from his bed, and Madara's stump). As for the sound effect, you can check thejadednetwork for yourself, but the kanji don't look the same to me.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 11:15, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

So what does the sound say?--Elveonora (talk) 11:28, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I are not not able to do that ._." Not even sure I'm correct about the sound effect kanji.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 11:38, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Then how you can tell it's not a wood release? :P someone with a knowledge of Japanese... anyone?--Elveonora (talk) 11:41, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

It's Wood Release...a very initial and feeble version, but it's definetelly Obito growing a tree root from his hand. Darksusanoo (talk) 12:20, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was simply expressing my belief that it isn't wood release in the same manner that you and others are expressing their belief that it is. Obito was in rehabilitation i.e. learning how to use his limbs once again. So which do you think fits the situation better? Using wood release or learning to balance something in his hand. He even goes on to try balance himself on his artificial leg with his hands held out...--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 12:32, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

I'd have to agree with Cerez-san on this. Considering that it showed him rehabilitating after losing his real limbs and then gaining those, it would make more sense that he was simply getting used to his new body. However the kanji according to mangastream say its growing wood, i geuss we should just wait till the raws are out then work from there. But i don't think we should add it right away.98.26.240.62 (talk) 12:59, September 26, 2012 (UTC) yomiko-chan

I said it was a initial and feeble version of it...plus in the scene there the bubbles for sound effect, plus you can tell pretty clearly by the plants shape that it's comming out of his hand, so i'd say that Obito's adapting to his new body and powers, which comes in more ways than one. Usuallly in the explanation parts of these flashbacks Kishi doesn't throw out useless scenes, and this doesn't seem be an exception. Darksusanoo (talk) 13:31, September 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Though mangastream didn't call the Zetsu androids (which was a + for them) I don't think their translation of the kanji was correct. Like I said:


 * trees don't grow upside down (meaning if it was Wood Release, the other part of the tree should have been facing upwards)
 * the end of the stick is broken. Which may mean he broke it off his bed or else felt cheeky and broke it off Madara's throne.
 * Using the stick to train his muscles is a lot more believable in that situation that using a feeble/weak version of Mokuton. Especially with the frame afterwards showing him balancing on one foot.--Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 13:48, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Seelentau saves the day Seelentau 愛議 14:21, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

 * No problem for the great Me-sama! バラバラ barabara means "scattered;  disperse;  loose;  disconnected;  in pieces;  in drops" and as a sound word "rustling". Copypasta ftw! So no "growing" at all. Fun sidefact: You can find it in the Japanese name for One Piece's Buggy's devil fruit, the Barabara no Mi. :) Seelentau 愛議 17:40, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

 * I read the manga once again, I see no where showing he broke a twig from the bed(Might have missed it my self.) Mangastream, as I read, Showed Obito holding a twig, and the translation said "Grow, Grow" If the translation is wrong, oh well. But yeah, this is the officers choice.--Kinglink15 (talk) 18:04, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I told you to read this discussion. There is a translation of the sound effect used (mangastream got it wrong) and there's a picture showing you where there twig was broken off. --Cerez 365 ™Hyūga Symbol.svg(talk) 18:11, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Obito's entire right side is a wood release jutsu, and he grew that new arm like he's done several times before, so doesn't it mean he has wood release. Albeit he can't use it the way other wood release users do, it should at least be mentioned. --~ &#123;D.S.P.&#125; &#91;G/G&#93; (talk) 19:49, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

We don't know completely how White Zetsu, Hashirama's cells and Mokuton are connected. Thus we wait until the whole matter is cleared up to a point where we can actually add valid information, not stuff like "It seems..." and so on. Seelentau 愛議 21:11, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

He didn'T grow his right arm, it was already there under bandages, when they got gradually removed his arm was revealed..--Holyn (talk) 15:55, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Wood release in new chapter
In the New Chapter, we saw how he developed the new Body he was given, my question is, should we add that he was able to grow Wood from him, and note it as his element that he barely use? I think it would be useful information, I don't know how, but it would be useful, this site is the biggest site for information in role playing, and having small information would help, so, would it be a good idea? Or not? I know it's the officers choice, but maybe they can read this and think about it?--Kinglink15 (talk) 17:49, September 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * well the small sprout was created from his artificial body, so one can discuss wheter or not he actually have access to wood release by combining water and earth release with the rest of his body. --Gojita (talk) 17:52, September 26, 2012 (UTC)Gojita


 * I know, but like Danzo for example, HE is able to use wood, Similar to how Obito summoned a Twig, it would be useful for it to be stated that he is able to use wood release by summoning small twig. but it's only my theory lol.--Kinglink15 (talk) 17:55, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

You guys need to read in its entirety. Obito broke a twig from his bed, he didn't use Wood Release.--Cerez 365 ™(talk) 17:57, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

The bed has always looked that way obito can use wood release like danzo can i believe--(Titans24 (talk) 00:27, September 27, 2012 (UTC))Titans24

No. The place where Obito broke the twig from is very clear. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:34, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it is part of his bed, but at the same time, while in his hand, the twig has the sound effects of "grow", meaning he is manipulating it. Yatanogarasu (Talk) 01:30, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

Mistranslation, see section above. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:33, September 27, 2012 (UTC)

"I'm looking after you"
I think that at least the flashback scene in the chapter 602 about the wound of Obito and the words of Rin should be worthy of mention (so also in the Rin's page). The big size of that panel seems indicate that it's is an important scene, and knowing the author it's really likely that it will be recalled in future metaphorically tied to the actions of Obito like Tobi. --JK88 (talk) 20:12, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Adding wood release to obito's kekki genkai
I'm relatively new here but I have a suggestion would it be possible to add wood release to obito's kekki genkai section and to add wood release and water release to his nature transformations I understand he has yet to use a full fledged wood release technique however in chapter 603 he demonstrated some degree of wood release by growing a twig in his hand and half of his body is hashirama clone so it would be probable to assume he might be able to use some sort of wood release in future chapters
