Naruto Shippuden & Bleach ™

    Obito was first seen desperately rushing to meet with his team, but arrived late and got scolded by Kakashi. Minato then states that as Kakashi is a Jonin, he will be in charge of Rin and Obito, while he did missions by himself. Rin then reminded Obito that he needed a gift for Kakashi, but while he did not have one, Kakashi suggested that Obito would give him something worthless if he did. The group then received their mission to destroy a supply bridge to prevent a Rock village ninja invasion of the Land of Grass.

During the group's first encounter, Obito froze up in the heat of battle, prompting Minato to bring him to his senses. After Minato killed the enemy ninja and told Kakashi that teamwork was more important than the rules, Obito tried to rub it in, but was told that he needed to control himself in order to back up his words. Obito, again feeling inadequate, talked with Minato about Kakashi and learned his story.

The next day, Minato left the group, and during an enemy attack, Rin was kidnapped. Kakashi argued that the mission came first, as diverting to save Rin would compromise it, but Obito argued that Rin was their friend. Obito then left, stating that while those who break the rules are trash, those who abandon their friends are worse than trash.

Shortly after Obito reached the location where Rin was held, a Rock Village ninja attacked, Kakashi stepped in, claiming that he could not leave Obito by himself. The ninja turned invisible, and Kakashi lost his left eye saving Obito from an attack. Obito realized that the time had come for him to live up to his words, and activating his Sharingan for the first time, saw and killed the ninja. After the two saved Rin, a third Rock Village Ninja caused a cave-in, and Obito was trapped under some rocks while saving Kakashi. The whole right side of his body was crushed, slowly killing him. When Kakashi went to his fallen teammate's side, in confirmation of their friendship and as a gift for Kakashi gaining Junin rank (Obito was the only member of the team not to have given Kakashi a gift), Obito gave Kakashi his left eye, and the Sharingan with it. After Kakashi defeated the ninja, the cave collapsed as enemy reinforcements arrived, and Obito died, realizing that he had finally become friends with Kakashi, and regretting not telling Rin how he felt.
