SPOILER WARNING (Also, this is about pre-Rinnegan Obito.)

Itachi was the only thing keeping Obito in line for part one & two.

Databook said:
Sasuke grew up to his liking, and Itachi is dead. Only a few bijuu remain [to be captured]. There is nothing left to hinder his ambitions.

Obito was the one to flee from Itachi.

The only movie written by Kishimoto pretty much shows this:

Itachi shows up to rescue Sakura and immediately realizes that physical attacks won't work:

Itachi says he knows a way to hurt Obito in spite of Kamui:

Obito chooses to go "Well, shit. I don't want to get soloed, so I'm out." and teleports away:

FYI, constantly keeping his distance is how Obito kept even Kamui a secret from Itachi.

He kept it a secret from no other ninja...

Obito thought Itachi was THE SHIT, bra.

Obito was constantly amazed by Itachi...

Conclusion:

Obito was incredibly, incredibly cautious of Itachi & kept his distance


He even stayed out of Akatsuki when Itachi was roaming.

(So both Orochimaru and Obito have that in common.)

BONUS ROUND!

Itachi's trap was designed to activate on the Kamui eye...

Amaterasu spawns flame wherever the person (Sasuke) is looking...

By chance, and luck alone, Sasuke looked away, sparing Obito's eye...

It's cool though. Itachi's backup-backup plan did well...

Even in death Itachi nearly killed Obito. I'll hand it to Itachi, he is extremely brilliant but Obito had Kamui to thank for his survival. If Itachi knew about Kamui and its weaknesses, there would have been a good chance for a counter to that.

Like the databook, amirite? Stop the denial, bro.
no what you're doing is:
manga:eek:bito was always cautious of itachi as he was a possible threat to his motives
you:eek:bito was a punk ***** and wasnt man enough to even look at itachi he knew better

thats taking things out of context and making it something it isnt

All this and yet Itachi was the one doing Obito's bidding. If he really thought Obito was "shit" as you put it then why didn't he just kill Obito and get it over with. I mean let's face it the only other people in akatsuki who knew somewhat who Obito really was was Nagato, Konan, and Kisame. The rest of them didn't even know Obito existed until he stepped in as Tobi to replace Sasori after he died. For a great deal of time Obito wasn't even an active member of the group. Itachi could've killed him easily without a big risk of being found out. But instead of fighting him he just simply got his help to kill the clan and then joined his group in an agreement to keep the village safe. Then he tried to take his life via a sneak attack after death. Not saying Obito could've beat Itachi but all of this stuff you tried to twist could easily be looked at another way

And what's with people using movie references? Regardless of whether Kishi wrote it or not, movie events aren't manga events. If it didn't happen in the manga, it has nothing to do with the manga

Because Obito would teleport away, as Kishimoto portrayed in the movie he wrote...

Although that would be the intuitive answer anyway.

But it seems I always have to respond to questions like,

"If the Five Kages + their guards could beat Obito, then why didn't they kill him when he showed up?"

Herpa lerpa derpa ferpa.

He didn't even know about Kamui. So why would Itachi be worried about that? If you have no answer just say so.

If the guy isnt scared of Madara: the strongest uchiha in history with rinnegan.. why would he be scared of Itachi who is not capable of even a quarter of what Madara can do.

well movie is non canon but still i think it's enough to say that Itachi > MS Tobi and Rinnegan MS Tobi >= Itachi.
Itachi would still stand a chance against rinnegan, we all saw how Nagatos fight went, yes he was crippled but he was more of a powerhouse with Rinnegan than Tobi is, aside from the paths with the Jinchuriki tobi has yet to show Rinnegan techs. like Nagato and Madara.
a perfect example is that he phased through FRS instead of absorbing it.

Yeah, I'll put a disclaimer that it's obviously not Rinnegan Obito.

With an army of tailed beasts no less haha... I agree.

that obito is rinnegan obito not ms obito
without obito, madara can't control juubi and madara can't be revived again(in human form not edo)
obito knows this. that's why he isn't scared of madara.
