Obito's Age during Kyubi Incident

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

Ok I got a very good idea. So let’s start.

• Kakashi graduated from the Academy at the age of 5
• Every student after graduating from the Academy gets in a team with 2 other graduated students and one Jonin as a Sensei.

 Ok, first of all, since Kakashi graduated at the age of 5, it means he would directly go into a team with Rin and Obito.
 -We know Obito wasn’t that high skilled, so it means he wasn’t graduated at the age of 5 obviously. That means Obito was OLDER than Kakashi.
 -I will only guess, but I think he was 4-5 years old, which would be a bit bad since we know Sasuke was a really good ninja but he graduated at 12 and Obito graduating at 9-10 years (Kakashi at 5 + 4 or 5 years = 9 or 10).
 -Obito was presumed dead / died at 13. --- > Kakashi was only 8.
 -Kyubi incident happened when Kakashi was 14 or 15 (in Part I Kakashi is 26-27 and Naruto is 12 == 26-12 = 14).
 -If Obito was 4 or 5 years older than Kakashi then it means he was 19 or 20 years old during the Kyubi Incident.

 This only helps on the Tobi = Obito theory even though I don’t like it.
 This means that Obito (if Tobi) had more years to practice and fight the Fourth and control the Kyubi, etc.
 This is just a point, a small theory, it might not be true, nevertheless I enjoyed posting it.
(I know it might not make sense, but anyways)

Kakashi and Obito were the same age. We saw Kakashi during the attack by Madara, he was a teenager.
That's how old Obito would be.

[mrsticky005]

Obito was 14 or 15 during the Nine Tails attack as it happened a year after the 3rd Great Ninja War. Obito and Kakashi were the same age.

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

Ok then . But did Obito graduate at the age of 5, or did Kakashi get in a Team with a Jonin few years later? :)

[Wooster]

Kakahsi became Jonin early, that's all. Obito was still a genin.

[kalmeast]

interesting analysis but you didn't have to go through all that to come to that conclusion...
Unfortunately it is incorrect...
Kakashi became a jonin at 13. Soon after he was sent on a mission inwhich obito died. It's a fact obito died at age 13. if kakashi had just turned a jonin and he was 13 and obito died a few days after at age 13, then their the same age. Kuubi attack happened 1 year after.
Either there is an error somewhere cuz it's hard to believe Minato's Hokage reign lasted only 1year, cus during the mission, he wasn't Hokage yet.

Sorry I meant to say Obito WOULD BE 14 or 15 during Nine Tails.

The dead don't age, just decompose.

[MichaelJalapeno]

14 Or 15.

[Marcus123]

Kakahsi is 30 atm

[Wiglaf]

This isn't terribly complicated.
DB states Obito was thirteen when he died (as others have said). He and Kakashi were the same age.
Kakashi is fourteen years older than Naruto I believe, so on the day of the attack Obito would've been fourteen as well.

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

Yes but, did you read what I stated?
Just after you graduate from the Academy you get into a team with a Jonin as sensei.
Kakashi graduated at 5. We all know Obito wasn't that skilled to graduate at 5.
But if they are at the same age, it means Kakashi had to wait few years until he got into a team(Jonin Sensei).

[Itachi-Returns]

Obito was 15 during the Kyuubi incident. He was, at most, Kakashi's age. But he was already dead, so...

[Maruko]

Obito was 14 or 15 during the Nine Tails attack as it happened a year after the 3rd Great Ninja War. Obito and Kakashi were the same age.

Hm...was he...?

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

If Kakashi graduated at 5 and Obito obviously graduated later .
Then what did Kakashi do all those years until he got a team with Jonin as Sensei ?

After graduating from the Academy you directly get into a 4 Man Team (with Jonin as Sensei).
Kakashi graduated at 5.
Obito obviously graduated many years later than Kakashi.
Kakashi didn't get into a Team like that just after he graduated.

[Wiglaf]

Kakashi became a jonin at the age of 13, during the third ninja war.
Itachi was stated to be four at this time (chapter 400). Kakashi is nine years older than Itachi. 13.
He led team Minato on a mission shortly after his promotion in rank.
It was on this mission that 13 year old Obito died. They're the same age.
Kyuubi attack took place on Naruto's birthday meaning it occurred one year after said mission; Kakashi was 14 and Obito would be 14 as well.
There.

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

you're not getting my point.
It's a FACT that just after you graduate from the Academy you get into a 4 Man Team (with Jonin Sensei).
It's just that Kakashi graduated at 5, which means he got in Minato's team at that age, but since Obito was weak, he couldn't have graduated at 5 as well to get in Minato's team, so I'm guessing either Obito is older than Kakashi, or either Kakashi joined Minato's team years later after he graduated.

Why can't we have Kakashi join Minato's team at 5 and be on the team years ahead of Obito. Kakashi could have had 6 years of experience on the team before Obito showed up to cry in fights. I'm not up on databooks so I don't know of any facts that might dispute this.

[Chiku]

but also, naruto failed the exam quite a few times before he passed it, and he is the same age as everyone else... i think this is one of the plot holes that no one can figure out.

[Pinks17]

Kakahsi became Jonin early, that's all. Obito was still a genin.

ya thats correct ^
Unless Obito somewhat lived, and was doing some Forbidden Jutsu
and aged him a bit, because we all know with Forbidden Jutsu's theirs always a price/cost. that could probably be your best shot.

Just to Clarify Obito was 13 when he died

[Kyūbi no Yōko]

i think this is one of the plot holes that no one can figure out
yes true :P but Naruto graduated within the next week I think.

2 new thoughts:

1. Kakashi was Minato's private student before Obito and Rin joined the team (when Obito and Rin graduated)
2. Minato became a Sensei years later after Kakashi graduated, possibly just when Obito graduated. I think Obito graduated around 11 - 12 so it means Minato became a Sensei 1 year before before Obito died (Obito died at 13). Cause Minato wasn't the type of guy that would be a Sensei IMO.

[Schnarf]

Ok then . But did Obito graduate at the age of 5, or did Kakashi get in a Team with a Jonin few years later? :)

Obito graduated from the academy at age 9.
