A lot of people I've seen have misunderstood the way Obito's S/T techniques work.
People say he can only be intangible for five minutes, but that is not necessarily true depending on how you define intangible.
Firstly, there are two kinds of transmissions that Obito uses. For sake of making things easier to explain, let's label one as instant transmission (IT) and another as long transmission (LT).
Obito's instant transmission is used to phase through attacks commonly. When he fought Konan for example, he phased through all of her paper bombs.
During IT, Obito can only slip through objects for five minutes. That's because it takes too long for him to teleport into his dimension via LT.
In LT, Obito teleports himself over a lengthy period of time into his own dimension. He can stay in this dimension for as long as he wants, since he is now completely gone from the normal dimension. However, this technique usually takes too much time.
LT is seen when Obito first fought Kakashi and showed him his sharingan. After the small distraction, Obito teleported himself away completely.
The main difference between the two techniques is that in LT, Obito is no longer visible, because he is no longer present. In IT, Obito is still visible because he is partially in one dimension and partially in another. IT is used to teleport single body parts, which takes up much less time but has a duration of five minutes.
So when people say that Obito can only go through things for five minutes, they refer to his IT technique but they often forget of his LT space/time technique which has the potential to be just as powerful.
Think about instant transmission for a second. Obito's body parts are split between one dimension and another. If he does that for too long, it would probably rip the fabric of space between his body and kill him.
In long transmission, Obito teleports his whole body, therefore not having this threat. He would be able to remain in his dimension for as long as he wants.
Thanks for reading!
