Itachi attacked Obito with Amaterasu through Sasuke's eyes, when Sasuke saw
Obito's Sharingan. As soon as Obito was engulfed by the flames, he went into
the dark region of the room and got rid of the lethal flame. How did he do it?
Did he achieve that with Kamui?

How exactly did Obito escape from Itachi's Amaterasu?


I've been thinking about this question, and I've found a theory, which would
explain a few things:

I'm almost 100% sure that the Amaterasu had hit Obito, as in the anime we can
hear the damage being received. As from that moment, we can't talk about the
Transportation Technique, because the Amaterasu lasts until his target is
completely gone.

So that would reach the 5 minute limit and Obito would have been dead, just as
it would've been the same result in the fight with Konan: those paper bombs
kept coming, and they would've reach the 5 minutes limit, IF, and here it
comes my theory. Obito escaped with the same technique both times, the
Izanagi.

Since he had a lot of Sharingan eyes in reserve, he could have easily replaced
the eye he had just used, just as he did after fighting Konan. AND he could
have implied this, by the lines (if I recall well), "Even Itachi didn't know
everything about me". That he could use Izanagi, or that he has those
Sharingan reserves (since Itachi never knew about the eyes collected by Tobi,
or Tobi's expertise in using this rare and forbidden jutsu).

I don't think zetsu had anything to do with it. And personally, I don't think
he used the izanagi either. I think he used the same thing he uses to make
things pass through him to escape it. Yes, the Amaterasu flames don't burn out
until their target it burnt to a crisp, but think about it. Fire is energy, no
matter what how it is formed, and chakra is basically energy as well. The
rasengan is made of chakra(energy), and it passed right through him to. So to
the flames, it would be like their target was already gone, so they burn out.
That's just what I think about this topic.

At that time, Obito/Tobi doesn't have Rinnegan. The Rinnegan was in Nagato's
possession. At that time the only Sharingan that had evolved into the Rinnegan
was that of Uchiha Madara. Obito's was just a Mangekyou Sharingan. Therefore
it definitely was not Shinra Tensei.

A possible explanation to how he get rid of the Amaterasu is that he used
Izanagi using one of the Sharingans he collected. But it can't be said for
100% as it was never revealed in manga nor anime.

Since the Amaterasu hit him on his whole bod, ![Tobi hit by
Amaterasu](https://i.stack.imgur.com/czH4v.jpg)

he surely didn't do the same thing he did when he fought Danzo's bodyguard Fuu
and Torune (pulling off his arm that is). Therefore I can say for 95% that it
was Izanagi.

One of the reason can be

> [the flames burn fairly slowly, sometimes allowing anyone struck by
> Amaterasu an opportunity to remove whatever clothing or body parts have been
> caught ablaze.](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Amaterasu#Overview)

This gave time Obito to separate him from his clothes. And for the part
**Amaterasu** burn anything caught by it to ash or destroyed. Dress he was
wearing will be destroyed by **Amaterasu**.

You guys seem to not know that Obito's power is using the Kamui which the
right eye can only be used if he is touching them where as the left eye is for
long distance which is why Kakashi can only do it at distances but anyway the
flame was touching Obito meaning he can transport it to the other dimension so
there u go maybe u should look up his power before discussing
