The Naruto franchise is infamous for its large number of plot holes and retcons throughout its run. However, the most glaring of these inconsistencies revolve around Obito Uchiha, the Naruto series' divisive end-game villain. Obito may have made his first appearance as himself during the Fourth Great Ninja War, yet he has remained in the backdrop since the beginning of Shippuden as a mysterious character named Tobi. Since Obito played such a complex role in Naruto's narrative, inconsistencies were bound to arise.
