Minato was intelligent enough to find out the obito’s technique even in their first encounter.
Uchiha Clan
The Uchiha Clan is one of the most recognizable and pitiful clans in Naruto. They are known for using their Sharingan, which allows them to read others’ movements and use powerful Genjutsu. The evolution of the Sharingan into the Mangekyo form grants abilities such as Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Kamui which might differ from their Sharingan pattern.
