Why does Obito look like an adult during the Kyuubi attack on Konoha?


In the series, it is stated that Kakashi was 26 when he became the leader of
Naruto's squad. So following that, he was 14 when the Kyuubi attacked the
village. Seeing that Obito was the same age as Kakashi, he should be 14 but he
didn't look like it. How old was Obito at that time? It shows him as an grown
up, adult man. Is this because of Zetsu covering him or is he just older than
Kakashi?

This is not a question directly about the age of Obito but also why he looked
older. In my understanding Kakashi and Obito are about the same age. I don't
care when Kakashi became a Jounin because that is not relevant to this
question.

Since Kakashi is younger than Obito, obviously Obito will look older.
