Obito is the only Shinobi who awakened his Sharingan at the 2 tomoe stage initially. Zetsu was impressed by him implying that Madara chose him for a specific reason. Obito also has the strongest will of any Uchiha, rivaling Naruto himself. It's not surprising that he was chosen.I just want to know, what is so special in Obito that Mada has to plan this much to get him??
