☰ KEY HIGHLIGHTS Konan's defeat of Obito in Naruto Chapter 508 could have averted the Fourth Great Ninja War. Obito's survival triggered events leading to Madara's resurrection and the war's escalation. Without Obito's influence, Sasuke's role and motivations could have shifted dramatically in the series.

The clash between Konan and Obito in Naruto marked a pivotal moment that set the stage for the Fourth Great Ninja War. When Obito obtained Nagato’s Rinnegan after defeating Konan, a sequence of events unfolded that led to the war.

In Chapter 508, Konan confronted Obito in the Hidden Rain Village to protect Nagato’s Rinnegan. She launched a fierce attack using her Paper ninjutsu techniques, even unleashing a devastating onslaught of 600 billion paper bombs.

Despite her efforts, Obito survived by employing Izanagi, escaping the explosion, and ultimately overpowering Konan to learn Nagato’s whereabouts.

What If Konan had Defeated Obito?

Had Konan emerged victorious in that battle, the trajectory of the series might have been vastly different.

With Obito defeated, Nagato’s Rinnegan would have remained out of enemy hands, potentially averting the Fourth Great Ninja War altogether. Obito’s pivotal role in the conflict, as the antagonist’s frontman, would have been nullified.

Furthermore, Obito’s death would have prevented the key steps leading to the war. For instance, Kabuto’s plans to revive Madara and, ultimately, Kaguya through Obito’s actions would have been disrupted.

Madara’s resurrection, contingent upon Obito’s Rinne-Rebirth, would not have transpired, thereby altering the series’ course.

In this alternate scenario, the focus of the story might have shifted dramatically. Sasuke Uchiha, leading Taka (formerly Hebi), could have emerged as a primary antagonist.

Without Obito, Kabuto’s ambitions to resurrect past shinobi, including Itachi, could have been delayed, influencing Sasuke’s motivations and potentially leading him to attack the Hidden Leaf Village.
