Itachi and his saga from Naruto Shippuden were one of those that the fans can never forget. His journey from being a fierce Chunin to becoming a clan killer and a crucial part of Akatsuki. And one of the biggest highlights of his career was the Uchiha Massacre, where he wiped out his whole clan except his younger brother Sasuke Uchiha. Now, one of the major questions that arises here is whether Obito Uchiha helped Itachi in carrying out the Uchiha massacre or not. And the answer to the question is a little twisted, but straight. Moving ahead, let’s have a look at the answer along with what actually happened on the night of the Uchiha massacre.
Uchiha Massacre and the involvement of Obito Uchiha in the same
Obito Uchiha helped Itachi in conducting the Uchiha massacre, but he didn’t use his original name at that time. Yes, Obito was hiding his identity under the name of Tobi, and he was looking for reasons to wreak havoc on Konoha. When Itachi was given the mission to eradicate his clan, he knew that killing the whole clan is not a one man’s job. To carry out the mission, he went to Obito, who was then using the alias of Madara Uchiha. After that, Obito and Itachi massacred the whole clan, leaving only Sasuke behind. To be precise, Obito was not just a helper in the cause but a co-conspirator who took advantage of the situation and messed up Konoha. After the Uchiha massacre, Itachi went to join Akatsuki, and he became an esteemed member of the terrorist organisation. Coming to Obito Uchiha, he took the alias of Tobi, and then he also went on to join Akatsuki and play a funny role until the death of Pain, after which Obito declared the Fourth Great Ninja War.
