Masashi Kishimoto’s concept of Rinnegan stands as the apex of visual jutsu, a dojutsu of rare power. The mystic technique was first wielded by the Sage of Six Paths. From then on it became a cornerstone in theNarutoseries’ most crucial moments and its most formidable characters. The origin of Rinnegan and its specific criteria required for awakening have been a continuous debate among the characters as well as fans.
TheNarutocommunity has brought to light a complex narrative fault. Obito Uchiha had the potential to awaken the Rinnegan in the final battle of the series. The oversight raises questions about the complicated power structure established by Kishimoto. The debate also suggests that the mangaka may have overlooked this prime candidate for wielding the Rinnegan in the most crucial time of the war.
Obito Uchiha Was One Step Away From the Legendary Status
The awakening of Rinnegan in the universe ofNarutowas badly complicated.Obito Uchihapossessed many necessary elements and had more potential to awaken his Rinnegan. However, he was missinga critical componentwhich was the absence of Indra’s specific chakra.
Indra’s lineage was passed down through selected reincarnations which carry distinctive capacities. Because of this, they are set apart from the general Uchiha clan. The distinction is important in recreating a facade of Hagoromo’s original chakra, the key to unlocking the Rinnegan.

However, Obito’s case was intriguing as he represents a ‘near-miss’ chance for Rinnegan. His fusion with Hasirama’s cells granted him to use powerful abilities including the Wood Release and enhanced vitality. But the biological combination had fallen short of the spiritual chakra vital for Rinnegan awakening.
The Implication of a Rinnegan-Wielding Obito Uchiha in Masashi Kishimoto’s Narrative
IfMasashi Kishimotohad tweaked this single aspect of Obito’s character, he could have dramatically turned the whole story. Most potentially altering the course of the Fourth Great Ninja War as one of the most formidable antagonists. It is also noteworthy that the awakening of Rinnegan is no simple thing.
Madara Uchiha was regarded as one of the most talented in Uchiha’s history. Yet, he took decades to awaken his Rinnegan after implementing Hashirama’s cells. So even if Obito had been an Indra reincarnate, he might not have awakened the Rinnegan during the series’ timeline.

Long afterNarutohad been concluded, the what-if scenario still continued to spark debate among fans. It showcases Masashi Kishimoto’s commitment and how he maintained a careful balance throughout the series. Whether Obito Uchiha should have awakened Rinnegan remains a discussion. But it is true that fans are engaged in the series long after the series’ conclusion.
Narutois available to watch on Crunchyroll and read the manga on Viz as of 18th Aug 2024.
