Why did Obito show his face to Kisame? 👀🤯

[tiagobarros]

Kisame is loyal AF. He would rather die before revealing a secret. He ain’t no snitch.

[Unk.-ex]

Obito and Kisame proubly smoke za together behind closed doors 😂

[GuyChooo]

Kisame despite being a mist ninja became a part of akatsuki. Since the mist ninjas didn't do well against Obito, he is the only mist that he respected

[averagelemon]

Dawg Kisame is just so loyal that he killed himself so Naruto's squad can't get Intel from them

[Alex-yepg]

Kisame understood The Eye of the Moon plan, and fully agreed with it. They were basically kindred spirits in that regard. No other member of the Akatsuki would agree to being put in a genjutsu.

[joedolski]

He didn’t trust pain, just kept an eye on Madaras eyes

[nathanmeredith]

That's because Kisame is a motherfuckin' homie.

One of the key reasons why Obito revealed his face only to Kisame among the Akatsuki members lies in the unique trust and strategic alignment between the two. Kisame, a former member of the Hidden Mist’s Seven Ninja Swordsmen, was well-versed in the harsh realities of betrayal and manipulation within his own village. Obito leveraged this understanding to gain Kisame’s loyalty by presenting himself as the true leader of the Akatsuki and by sharing his "Madara" identity. This revelation established a bond of trust between them, allowing Obito to manipulate Kisame’s actions to suit his broader goals.

Furthermore, Kisame was chosen as Itachi’s partner due to the intricate dynamics surrounding Itachi’s double-agent role. After aiding Itachi in eliminating the Uchiha Clan, Obito likely suspected that Itachi retained his loyalty to Konoha. This suspicion made Itachi’s position within the Akatsuki precarious, as he needed to convince both Obito and his fellow members of his allegiance to their cause. Kisame, being pragmatic and pragmatic to the core, was the ideal partner to accompany Itachi.

By partnering Itachi with Kisame, Obito ensured that Kisame could keep an eye on Itachi while maintaining a certain level of control over his actions. For his part, Itachi needed to project a facade of cruelty and loyalty to the Akatsuki. His cold and ruthless behavior toward individuals like Sasuke and Kakashi served to reinforce this image, keeping Kisame and others convinced of his dedication to their shared cause.

Ultimately, the relationship between Kisame, Itachi, and Obito reflects the layers of deception and calculated trust that define the Akatsuki's internal structure. Obito’s decision to reveal his face to Kisame and pair him with Itachi was a masterstroke in managing potential risks while furthering his overarching plans.

That’s because kisame isn’t a snitch unlike my little sister big ass mouth for no god damn reason I would like to exchange my sister for kisame.

[SavantPete]

Kisame was the most loyal Akatsuki member. He did anything and everything that he was told. Literally kiIIed himself to prevent any information to leak about their plans

[iRazenrak]

Kisame be like, "I have no idea who this is."

[ericguthrie]

Nobody can't keep a secret like kisame

[TomAvital]

Feared Itachi, manipulated Pain, needed Kisame's trust, didn't care for the rest.

[Trelitty]

Thing is kisame didn’t know he was Obito when seeing his face … Obito still presented himself as Madara . Kisame didn’t know obito to know his face and Madara was some dead legend . It was easy for obito to just say he’s Madara and kisame never be the wiser . Even Itachi still thought he was Madara

[gokto]

Kisame really was the loyalist member.

[没acc是auce个od]

Obito trusted kisame more than Pain … welll duh they were both actively trying to plot against each other

[emage]

Kisame was the one man strictly believing his roots, live and die by everything he'd day and do

[M_WarrenU]

Kisame is not the only member that knows tobi was leading from the shadows. Pain/nagato knew as well as itachi. However itachi figured out tobi wasn’t madara and was some other uchiha when he discovered obito sneaking into konoha when itachi was anbu.

[modestasvac]

He gave his unit to him "berserk" sword. Saving time :)

[dotmurda]

Kisame is the only one without needing a genjutsu, that will fall in line and keep the secret of his land and people to the death! As he did... it gave kisame purpose
