Why didn't Obito ever..

[Skull Knight]

Plot.

 

[Ansatsuken]

Plot. I know everyone is trying to form some reasoning out of this but we've already seen on many occasions that Obito is more than happy to take whatever eyes and powers he needs to succeed. It makes no sense then when you look at how he does that all the time but never once tried to retrieve his eye. IMO Kishi did this simply to keep the Obito/Kakashi mystery alive and to not allow Obito to be too powerful.

Just think about it. Obito vs Konan never would have been as interesting if he had DMS. His biggest fights would be over in seconds.

As for Konoha "knowing" that it would be Obito who stole the eye, I think that's a stretch. Everyone and their uncle wants the sharingan so there's no way of knowing. If Konoha heard that Kakashi was killed theyd prob think another country's ninjas took it. Obito could also just warp Kakashi's body away so no one would find it.

When would he have attacked Kakashi? He was almost never alone. And why risk giving away his identity?

I second this

 

[Darkakatsuki]

He wasn't seeking power and he isn't a man who takes a gift back .

Yeah, even though he's a man who kills his father figure and mentor, kills said father figure and mentor's wife, and attempts to kill said father figure's innocent baby child, whilst destroying a ton of lives with the kyubi.

But somehow, despite all that he's not the guy who kills an ex friend for his eye or takes back gifts? Yeah, sure.

 

[Darkakatsuki]

To keep his identity a secret.
If he came back the next day demanded his eye back and said he was plotting to take over the world obviously kakashi would tell everyone and he wouldnt have been able to manipulate the Akatsuki and such as easily. He would have to kill kakashi, and considering kakashi was always stronger than him as a child, maybe he was scared he wouldnt be able to defeat him. It would have been a lot of effort just to get back one eye, and until the uchiha massacre, there would have been plenty of sharingans up for the taking, not to mention he had madaras rinnegan available.

He challenged the baddest and most feared man in the world at the time, the only guy to ever garner a flee on site order, but was scared of little old part one Kakashi who lost to Zabuza in like ten seconds before his genin team saved him? Yeah sure buddy.

Risk giving away his identity? Not even Minato could get off his mask, or even assess who he was judging from his voice, ideals, capabilities and actions.

He wouldn't have needed to see his face. Kakashi already had suspicions that Tobi was Obito. If he fought him with the same eyes Kakashi would have figured it out.

He was alone at Rin's grave.

Because Obito purposefully left hints and they both used Kamui which Kakashi didn't have until many years later.

 

[gerizzyYMcrew]

Why did Kishi wait to make Tobi use mokuton on Bm naruto instead of Konan?

what would wood style do against konan?

 

[Rikudou Tobi]

How about kill her.

I pipe had her on the ropes of death, wood cutter technique would turn into a spike ball once it impales her body.

It's not like Kakashi was totally unaware of the similarities between their eye powers. Obito had the same eye that he supposedly died with and was wearing a mask. That very suspicious regardless of Obitos words. If he had attacked Kakashi of all people while he was alone that'd be even more suspicious.

 

[Uchihakil]

The same reason he could'nt phase as a juubi jin, though him not phasing is more retarded coz there simply is'nt an explanation, because of the juubi my ass, the juubi aint physically inside obito, if you cut open obito you won't see the juubi, so what the f*uck is preventing him from phasing, nerf ofcoarse

His suspicion started partly because they both used kamui. Kakashi didn't start using that until part 2. We're talking about right after Obito became evil, which was over a decade before part 2.

Even still, he had the opposite eye and a mask. That alone stirs suspicion. And like I said, they couldn't have an all out battle in the middle of the village. Another thing, Obito had to remain an anomaly. He'd be giving himself away by recklessly exposing himself.

Obito gave me Ebola.

That doesn't he is missing an eye. As a matter of face, Obito already replaced his missing eye with a random sharingan.

As for fighting him in the villiage. He can just take him into his dimension. He already did so in the series.

Obito hiding one eye insinuates that he either doesn't have one or doesn't use it which would lead to the idea that the masked man has one eye similar to How Obito was last left. Also if Kakshi had just gone missing that would lead to suspicion as well. There virtually nothing Obito could have done involving Kakashi that would have allowed him to reclaim the eye without suspicion.

konan was made of paper...wood style wouldn't do anything until obito repeated his sequence of steps

Wouldn't need to repeat those steps with genjutsu being primary

Then just don't cover the eye. That and Kakashi met Obito as Toni in the Itachi vs Sasuke arc and didn't suspect a thing then.

Also if Kakshi had just gone missing that would lead to suspicion as well. There virtually nothing Obito could have done involving Kakashi that would have allowed him to reclaim the eye without suspicion.

Why would anyone think it was Obito of all people?
