Kakashi Hatake’s back story will feature in Naruto Shippuden in the “Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops”. The arc will begin on the 6th of February and will feature the aftermath of what Obito did at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. We follow Kakashi’s journey as he enters the ANBU Black Ops as he punishes himself for what he promised and failed, which was to protect Rin. There is a video previewing the arc in which Kakashi enters a dark path in his life.

As predicted the arc will be everything that we want it to be. Apart from this arc, it was rumored that Naruto Shippuden will not have any more fillers this year. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this arc, it’s should be awesome. Tell me what you think using the comment section below.

Well, the arc is nearly here. We’ll finally get to see what really transpired on that fateful day and find out why Kakashi crossed the ultimate line. Hopefully we also get some epic fight scenes as a bonus

I’m expecting to see Kakashi to go all badass with his mask on and kick some ass. The video shows him with his ANBU mask, it fits him well.

Definitely, we’ll finally have a good “filler” arc! “” added because while this may technically be anime exclusive, it will expand the universe, so it’s basically canon.
Also, this was an interesting read

The thread asks if Kishimoto really planned for Obito to be Tobi’s identity. Both sides of the argument make some pretty valid points. I personally think that he had planned for him to be Obito, had some doubts, and then went back to the plan. It’s a smaller theory that some of the posters brought up, but it makes a lot of sense. It’s definitely fascinating so see all of these facts!

Skimming through the forum, I personally think that Kishimoto had planned everything very early, introducing characters slowly and showing that Tobi could be no one but Obito. A lot of people suggested it but time passed and lots of people left that point. Tobi and Obito are the same, just that Zetsu had changed the voice of Obito to sound more Madara.
It’s unbelivable how early mangaka’s plan such things. For example Kubo had planned some of the current arcs whilst we were still with Aizen and how he betrayed everyone, which I think was two or three years before Espada/Aizen arc ended. Kishimoto is doing a good job of the Obito/Tobi and that he knew that Tobi was important to the story later on.

Well, I’m not sure about Kubo. (Pretty sure he was basically winging everything since late Arc 2) As for Kishimoto, some of the things just seemed a little extreme. Obito must have been seriously in character for those moments. Still, I’m betting that he does have the rest of the series in check at this point since we’re so close to the end
