Why did Obito keep his identity secret even after it was found out he wasn't Madara?

[Takos]

At first, it's understandable. He wanted to pretend to be Madara to be able to manipulate everyone easier. Keeping his real identity in secret was required for that.

But after that lie was exposed, why did he carry on with that?

Not removing his mask can be explained with the fact that it provided him a face protection (and was said to be made extra sturdy for battle).

But I still don't get why he didn't just reveal himself.

At first, I thought the reason might be - he didn't want Kakashi to find out, because that would be too much of a hint to the secret of his space-time ninjutsu and that was too risky.
But it seems unlikely. Even before his identity was revealed, Tobi didn't even try to hide his resentment towards Kakashi.

In fact, Obito could have used his identity as a way of weakening Kakashi psychologically, to create an opening and kill him easily.

Any ideas?

 

[Flawž]

Because of the unnecessary TNJ and feeling he might get.

 

[stinkey]

he doesnt care and he love it

 

[Cfighter]

Because Kishi wanted that tease to last many pages.

 

[Onetimepost2]

cause kishi is a bad writer

 

[-S-]

Because the world to him wasn't real. And he believed he wasn't real. He couldn't accept who he was, so he tossed away his identity and aimed to recreate himself in the dreamworld. He chose to discard being Obito, and to become nobody.

It's all Kakashi fault

 

[Tera Path]

He already said why..........

He doesn't care, all he wanted was the succes for infinite tsukuyomi, nothing else.

 

[Parrish]

In situations like this, you got to realize that it's for the plots sake.

 

[Hypemaster]

Because he's a disappointment of a villain. Going from being madara, a feared respected shinobi to obito, a supposedbly dead kid is a bit of a downgrade..

It's because he doesn't care about the world, himself, or a true identity as according to his plans reality will be wiped out.

What anime is your sig from?

OT: Because Obito didn't care anymore. And also because revealing a name without revealing a face would have been anti-climactic.

Exactly this ^

 

[GrayParadise]

Because plot.
