Why didn't Obito take Itachi's eyes?

[Lightbringer]

Sasuke is his alternative for Nagato. That way he can give him rinnegan and sacrifice himself with Rinne Tensei.

Well tht is true well then I go with wat the other guy said he needed to ms eyes in first place thts prob why he wanted shishui eye from danzo

He already awakened 2 MS when he saw rin die.

They are all related to each other Uchiha are all related...

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

They have to be blood related

This, and not just distantly related like a cousin twice removed, they have to be siblings to get that, anyways Obito already has his Rinnegan toy, he's happy with that.

 

[lionel654]

They are not siblings and both need both MS eyes to unlock their full power

 

[veggetta13]

happy... mmm, yeah, but I´d guess obito is more the kind of subject who submits itself to the plan, cuz, oh well, after all he´s just a puppet, a really powerful and evil one, but just another lost fool so..

Even as much as trying to have a contact with no intention of retrieving the eye on entering that past life with kakashi and rin at the leaf was just unthinkable...

poor loser

 

[ozanozbek]

Because sasuke is in the uchiha clan

 

[dirklyn]

Cuz he has faith in sasuke

 

[Thundercles]

They're not siblings. And he didn't go blind.

Doesn't have to be siblings. It is just strongly recommended. Better for fusion, that is all.
