Hello again,

It hasn’t even been a day but you’ve enabled me and I have zero shame so I’m absolutely going to dump all my obito brain rots on here. Please do tell if it gets a bit too much. I’m going to focus on his Kamui and Mokuton Obito pre-rin’s death (I don’t think I’m using that hyphen correctly). Obito was displayed as a pretty piss poor shinobi, which, FIRST OF ALL, is a ‘fact’ that was never actually backed up properly??? The only consistent comparison we got was he sucked compared to Kks which is a given considering who tf kakashi is. Also in the like the game version (???) Obito performed the great fireball jutsu on the same level as Sasuke in their genin team test (There is actually so much shit I can say about how much of a fucking disaster Team Minato was as a whole but thats another topic for another day) which Kks was impressed at as teacher so??????? I feel like at least a little bi t of his inadequacies was exaggerated, but maybe thats the different standards between war and peace times. He probably was mediocre in taijutsu, basic weaponry (kunai and shuriken) and like, two jutsus. I headcannon that Obito isn’t actually fire natured, and maybe it wasn’t realized until Madara or something because Uchiha With Non-Fire Natures? A pretty rare and bad occurrence. But Obito-post rin’s death? The MS and wood style was definitely a game changer. First of all, the mangekyou gives each user a specialized ability, which I believe has some connection to their mindset/subconsciousness, like by itself the MS is just a block of clay and the instantly activated the user it’s molded into something to suit its user. Kamui allows Obt to phase through shit and gives him his own personal. DIMENSION. Delving into characterization here, a key aspect of Obito pre-rin was his aspirations to be Hokage and be acknowledged. The hokage needs to be really strong, strong enough to be unbeatable and untouchable. Meanwhile, at the time of activation, Obito was experiencing a traumatic event, more specifically he was denying his best (arguably only) friends death, not accepting the happenings of their world, which led to the personal dimension. With the mokuton, half of his boy was replaced with Hashirama/plant matter, so theres a chance he can use mokuton because of that, which would explain why he didnt need water or earth nature chakra. Another explanation, is that Obito was actually water natured, with fire as his secondary and earth as his third. If we’re delving into Messenger/No Tomorrow fic lands then I wholeheartedly believe that Kagami would have been water natured, which would also explain why he was Tobirama student. Also hc Obito’s parent were senju descent, which automatically granted him the genes needed for mokuton. Another note, his mokuton was a lot different from Hashirama and Tenzou/Yamatos, which I think is how the wood style is suppose to actually look, so I think its a mixture between him actually not having earth style, which makes his wood style more natural and plant related, and the fact that half of his body is literally made of that shit. I also have such A conundrum with how,, the prosthetic looks??? Like Madara was trying to enhance the mokuton side, so yeah there’ll be some changes to its appearance but why is it fkn white? Why not like a more plant like appearance. Imagine if the prosthetic was a mesh of tree branches that twist into the shape of a arm, that’ll be so much cooler than whatever the hell the white gooey shit is. Going to the mechanics and technicalities, how does the Kamui dimension work? Was it already constructed upon activation or was it just Space that Obito had to manipulate into existence? I like to think the kamui dimension was already constructed upon activation based off Obts mental shit or some other shit, but he has control over it; like he can choose what visitors of his dimension can see, like the sharingan with genjutsu but instead of eye contact its just,,, his entire dimension. I also hc he can teleport anywhere without needing anything else because its His place? And it’s also easier

Honestly..... SIGH the things that apparently make academy students who graduated 'impressive' literally... Has no consistency. Anyone can be like 'oh wartime vs peacetime' but somehow I really don't think Obito was much different from... *Checks smudged pen on my palm* Asuma or Kurenai or Genma or Rin???? Like Kakashi was a ridiculous child but no one said anyone was EXPECTED TO BE THAT LEVEL???? Kakashi is literally that level because Sakumo was a single parent who took that baby ON missions with him and shit whereas you have Obito coming in like a civilian-raised kid because they made it clear (ish, as with... everything) that Obito had no one but Rin in his life (which means no help but all the judgement). So Kakashi gets private tutoring from birth by a man who is noted to have been even BIGGER than the Sannin during the second War whereas Obito raises himself in the Uchiha Compound, gets no help from anyone (remind you of anyone? Maybe the PROTAGONIST) and yet manages to come out of the academy around the level of everyone else 🤔

Tbh! Tbh tbh tbh!!! They COPPED OUT with that prosthetic! Give him a bark-effect at least, sheesh! Also the missing eye thing, they deffo couldve given him a mokuton-related eye if they were able to give him a whole-ass arm and chunk of torso like...c'mon C'MON they could've given him a GROOT arm! IT COULDVE GROWN AND SHIT!!!

Yes! There seems to be a Mangekyou-scape even without activating the ACTUAL Mangekyou technique. Shisui, sparring against Itachi, won immediately by bringing Itachi into a different landscape that Itachi could never break out of. Itachi, when he uses his torture technique, can alter other people's consciousness into an environment of his choosing without committing to the actual Torture Aspect of the technique. So, with Obito's Kamui, i deffo think the mindscape is something he can craft! It's dark and stoney and desolate and i think that's pretty damn symbolic

Yes, i HC the same kind of travel-cheat with Summons! In my fics, Shisui and Itachi send Crows back and forth rapidly because the Crows can pop in and out of the Realm wherever the summoners are and it makes total sense for Obito to be able to CHOOSE where he steps out again. It's like the flying thunder god without having to leave markers or being able to be blocked!

Okay next ask haha
