7) Orochimaru attacks Hidden Leaf
Orochimaru was one of Hiruzen’s most beloved students. However, after committing inhuman experiments on people, he was banished from Konoha.

2) Madara used Obito as a tool
After saving Obito from death, Madara gave him a new life and also instilled his Uchiha ideals into him. Madara trained and helped Obito hone his skills, only to use him as a tool to achieve his goal of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
