This has been discussed in the past, but I thought I'd provide a few different view points on this. This first arose when Obito stated that he would die by simply using this technique. Why? Nagato seemingly able to do it without dying. It was implied he would die because all of the chakra he had already exerted, ie, fighting an entire village, followed by annihilating it through Shinra Tensei (already shortening his lifespan). I will present some theories and let you decide on the most likely of them.

Theory #1 Obito Needs Both Eyes
Obito has already shown difficulty mastering the Rinnegan so far. He was only able to use the Outer Path ability: Shared Vision and could not or would not utilize the other Rinnegan techs. This is mostly due to the amount of chakra that would be needed, clearly showing Obito doesn't really have the chakra reserves for the eyes themselves. It is possibly due to him having one eye. Perhaps the ease of using a Rinnegan tech lies with having both eyes. With one eye, he needs to exert more chakra, than that is needed in comparison to having both, and would therefore kill him.

Theory #2 Obito Has Exerted So Much Chakra, It would Kill Him
As in the case of Nagato, he has already used up so much chakra. He has controlled 7 Jinchuuriki (while unleashing them in their Tailed Beast state AND using TBB), used that massive Uchiha Fire Wall Encampment tech, and summoning/controlling the Juubi.

Theory #3 Obito Isn't Fully Human
A final theory is due to Obito not having a full human body and therefore doesn't have the stamina required to survived the tech. If you recall, Obito has a 1/2 Uchiha, 1/2 Android (Artificial Senju) body. While this does mean he can use Mokuton and doesn't require sustenance to survive, it doesn't mean his body can withstand normal wear and tear like the human body. When Minato slammed him with a Rasengan, his body was falling apart. This isn't normal. Others who have been hit just simply take concussive damage, while Obito falls apart. So, perhaps the lack of a complete human body poses a problem when it comes to a hefty technique like that.

none of your reasons really seem right to me. why would he use so much chakra up if he knew it would kill him to use rinne tensei? Same thing for only one eye, why not take both if it would make the difference between life and death? Finally, obito not being full human should help him, not hurt him. Hashi cells allow the user to strengthen their techniques, as demonstrated by oro.

#1 Do you think he honestly intends on using it? It is obvious that he wants to manipulate Madara...
#2 He needs his MS to perform Kamui, thus, making him intangible. It makes sense. He has the best of both worlds.
#3 The Hashi cells DO help him. It is [possibly] only a crutch in this perspective. Again, I dont think he intended on reviving Madara.

Why will he use the tech then? I don't think he intends to revive madara. How does it kill him if he doesn't plan on using it and chooses not to.

I think you are confused. The point of this thread is not his intention; it is why the tech would kill him. I am just responding to your comments. I dont think he intends on actually using this tech. I am just commentating/discussing the reasons why it would kill him.

Why Obito Will Die Using Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu implies it will happen
Why Obito Would Die Using Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu is more a discussion on the outcome if he tried to use it.

this is why I was confused

You asked why he would use this tech if it would kill him. That is why I responded. It doesnt matter what his intention is as far as this thread goes. What matters is why it would kill him. Do you read me?

Nice thread! Good theories!

Still, I am more of the Theory that the problem is Madara being an Edo, and therefor missing his original body, and/or being dead for too long.

I made a similar theory that because Nagato was an Uzumaki he might survive casting RT the same way Kushina survived Bijuu extraction despite non-Uzumaki Jinchuurikis dying in the process, or maybe because Madara was in Edo form.
