Obito is Kakashi’s friend in the series Narutoa ninja from Konoha who experienced a bad incident so he became evil.
He also became one of the main enemies in the Fourth Ninja World War conflict and was the trigger for many conflicts.
But he doesn’t use his real name, but an alias, namely Madara, why is that?
1. Obito was asked by Madara to use his name
Pierrot/Naruto StudiosAfter Obito became evil when he saw Rin die by Kakashi, he wanted to follow all of Madara’s plans.
Madara also explained everything, the history of Rikudou Sennin, the Chakra Tree, plans Mugen Tsukuyomiand also taught some techniques and some info for him to carry out the plan.
After Obito understood his goal, Madara removed his connection to Gedo Mazo so he died. Before he died, Madara entrusted Obito to carry his name on this mission.
2. Madara’s name is more famous and can have an impact
Pierrot Studios/Naruto ShippudenEven though Hashirama’s cells had been strengthened and he knew many things, Obito was still a teenager at that time.
Therefore, in carrying out his missions, he often uses the alias Madara so that all his plans can run more smoothly.
Some of them convinced Nagato and also trusted Itachi to help him finish off the Uchiha clan.
His name also becomes “scary” when mentioned and this is a clear advantage for Obito in carrying out his mission.
3. Apart from that, Madara’s name is also used to cover his true identity
Pierrot/Naruto StudiosObito said that he had abandoned his old identity, namely the weak Obito Uchiha.
Apart from that, by not showing his identity as Obito, it would further facilitate the action and prevent Kakashi and Konoha from taking any further action.
Because he hides his identity, when he doesn’t call himself “Madara”, he has another alias, namely “Tobi”.
The point is that Madara entrusted his name to Obito to use in his plans and to spread terror into the ninja world, besides that Obito also needed to cover up his identity, so that was the right solution.
That’s the reason why Obito carries the name Madara, what do you think about Obito’s character as Tobi/Madara?
