I have come to the conclusion that based on the subtle evidences in the manga that Obito's parents were long dead before Kakashi Gaiden.

Take a look at this:

In the bottom left corner of the panel there is an adult couple

This along with the other images are definitely not drawings made by Obito because the thin black straight lines present in all images are indicative of photo printing, they are called striations

Now that we have established that all of them are indeed photographs, we can analyze clearly the difference in age of the bottom left's photo from the rest

The bottom left photo featuring the couple are noticeably older than the other photos because of the jagged edges which indicates age from wearing and tearing

Compared to the edges of the other photos which are smooth

We can also ascertain the agedness of the bottom left photo based on the clip that is used to fastened it in Obito's wall

Because the photograph is old, a binding clip is needed to fasten it.

Unlike the other photos that requires only thumbtacks because they are relatively new

We can also determine that the adult woman in the bottom left photo is not Rin because of the lack of the markings in her cheeks like Rin's

Also the woman in the bottom left photo has curled hair ends unlike Rin's

The man in the bottom left photo is definitely an Uchiha because of the design of the collar of the shirt which are worn by Uchiha men.

And the baby in the bottom left photo is most probably a male since the drawing strokes makes it similar to the father's hair

The baby is most certainly Obito.

Based on the the age of the photograph and the evidences at hand, the logical conclusion is:

Obito is a war orphan (and most probably an only child) and his parents died long before the events of Kakashi Gaiden. He is meant to be a parallel of Naruto in that they were orphaned at very young age.

You can magnify the most minute details and profound them to make the most brilliant ideas.

Flawless idea, and it goes hand in hand with all the later comparisons between Obito and Naruto right down to where Obito states that given time Naruto will be just like him. I think Obito represents what would've happened to Naruto had he given in to the hate and loneliness of the Kyuubi.

When life gives "Sir" Derp Obito lemons, he makes 4 planets.

Very nice theory.

Thank you! A few people already talked about this theory, but strangely no one took the time to make a good thread about it
