Obito Uchiha, when our mind becomes a prison

    by: Winnie the Pooh Author IconMail Icon
Obito is a member of the Uchiha Clan who initially does not show great talent. He is a boy with a good heart and determined, with the dream of becoming Hokage (just like Naruto) to protect his friends and the Leaf Village. He is in love with his teammate Rin and has a competitive relationship with Kakashi.

During a mission, Obito is crushed under a rock and before dying he gives his Sharingan to Kakashi (symbolically transmitting his way of seeing the world) and is believed to be dead. In reality he will be saved by Madara Uchiha, who heals him and slowly manipulates him.

In addition to his social death, Obito helplessly witnesses the death of Rin, killed by Kakashi to prevent her from becoming a weapon for the enemies. This event destroys him emotionally leading him to lose faith in the world and to follow Madara Uchiha.

Obito denies his ideals and accepts Madara's vision: the world is corrupt and full of pain. He decides to implement the Tsukuyomi plan, a global illusion that erases human pain. But an illusion is not able to solve the problem, which is destined to recur because it is unresolved.

How many of us take refuge, just like Obito, in a dimension that does not belong to us? We follow a path imposed by society, we share values ​​without asking ourselves the meaning and we too become victims of an illusory reality built by people who did not even know what they were doing.

There are those who decide to isolate themselves from the world and are seen as the strange one, the one on the margins, the antisocial or the hikikomori. In reality, they are people who have suffered a profound disappointment from reality. It is not true that they hate the world. They love it too much to not want to see its fragility.

Unfortunately, the world is a complicated place to live in. Every day something is taken away from us until we are crushed, just like Obito.
The disappointments add up and we end up closing ourselves off more and more, until there is nothing left of us.

Obito's journey shows the internal conflict between the part of himself that still believes in hope and the part that has given in to despair. Obito is one of the few who believed in it so much that he lost hope. And when you stop believing in tomorrow, what do you have left?

In the end, it is important to remember that it is not the world that defines us: we are the ones who decide who to be despite everything. Just like Obito.

THE END.
