'to through things in good' doesn't make any sense in English.
I would say,
"As I thought, this 'Obito' is a good skill, slipping through things. And so this skill too has been recovered."
However, Japanese is a very context sensitive language and I could be totally off. If オビト is not the name of the skill, then the second phrase has a totally different meaning. It's possible that 'this skill' restores something, in which case the finally phrase is referring to the skill restoring that something and not the skill being restored. Without more context I can't really give any more than my very rough guess that assumes a lot.

I completely agree with this. It's impossible to get the following interpretation without knowing the story of Naruto. The OP should provide us necessary information when asking a translation.
Obito is the speaker(= Kakashi)'s old friend who also had the skill to slip through things. (Kakashi is talking to him in his mind.) この技 refers to the one Kakashi is going to use, not "slipping through things". He has become to be able to use the skill again.

It's not impossible to explain the context in few lines, like as many other posters do. In fact, I did it in three lines in my previous post.
I have to say the same thing again (or three times?).
