Obito's entire character has been built up around what happened in Kakashi Gaiden. He was a good guy, like Naruto, that had unfair tragedies happen in his life. He died heroically, to save his friends and even in death only wanted for them to go on living happily. We as fans might not understand Obito, but let's review the facts:
-He wanted to become Hokage and impress this chick. She died and he failed to save her in time.
-He got smashed by boulders and lost an eye to save his best friend
-He had to watch said best friend kill the girl he loved
-He had no parents, apparently. Or at least they were estranged.
-He was found half-dead by Madara and had his genetics altered with weirdo Zetsu stuff and Hashi cells
-He was mindwashed for at least a few years by Madara, and deprived of any real social contact
Whether anyone on NB will admit it or not. These events would drive anyone insane. Obito is regretting his actions because deep down, he is still a good person. That said, Obito gave up on reality and on himself. He does not want to be anyone. He does not want to become anyone. All he cares about now, is bringing Rin back.
A grown man like Obito accepting Naruto's words just frankly makes no sense. They don't share a common teacher like Nagato and Naruto did. There is no book. There is nothing to suggest Obito should listen to Naruto, rather we've seen exactly the opposite.
Nagato was calm and collected, whereas Obito is rash and even immature sometimes. Nagato truly wanted peace, whereas Obito just wants to enslave the world in genjutsu and bring Rin back. Naruto cannot bring Rin back. He cannot convince Obito through cheap words.
Why? Because Obito's mentality is exactly as Naruto's. He would never give up on his dream. And what is his dream? To bring peace to the world, by forcing peace on the world. Whether the world wants it, or not. Ultimately, Naruto the character is unaware of the village's inconsistencies. Sasuke represents this plot hook, that Sasuke has seen the dark side of the village.
Naruto needs to be aware of that dark, inconsistent side of the village of Konoha if he is to become Hokage. As Naruto is now, he has the power to be a Hokage, but he lacks the wisdom and knowledge. Even Shikamaru lacks the knowledge of just how absolutely evil the Konoha elders were to Itachi, Kabuto, Orochimaru and the rest.
Obito is well aware of these inconsistencies in Konoha's past and he will NOT forgive them easily. He will refuse Naruto's offer. Konan, Nagato and others warned Naruto that he would not change the man behind the mask. The simple fact is that Obito represents the side of Naruto that wasn't able to deal with reality.
So basically, I predict Obito will be killed before he accepts or rejects Naruto's offer. Probably by Madara, but possibly by Sasuke. In the end, I think we all know on NB that Sasuke has an ulterior motive in helping Naruto right now.
He's said he will become Hokage, end the corrupt system and kill all the bijuus. Do we really think he's 100% happy with Naruto just because Hashirama laid down some history lessons? LOL, as if.

It's his ideas, not mine.
