Sad how not the OP nor the 32 guys thanking the post understand the character Kishi has been building with Naruto all these years.
His first major step in ending the cycle of hatred Pain spoke of was to let Nagato live after all the things he had done. (killing Jiraiya, 'killing' Kakashi, 'killing' Hinata and destroying Konoha) Naruto, despite the fact of him still hating Nagato, didn't give in to the fate of revenge and kept his head cool, not killing him, thus proving to be the special one - The Savior.
His second major step towards the role of the 'Child of Prophecy' was this current one, where he forgave Obito the things he did as he saw how Obito despised his past self and actions. Even Sasuke, whose whole life was driven by vengeance, realized the wrongness of his past ideals when he decided not to crush Konoha and instead, joined the war on the side which was in fact trying to defend the Shinobi World, Konoha.
For me, Naruto's words and actions regarding Obito is yet another acceptable step for his already well-developed character development.

I doubt she'd be dumb enough to call the person that killed her cousin a few minutes ago "Cool".
Again, I give 0 damns about Naruto forgiving and respecting Obito, I never did when the same happened to Nagato, it's the fact that Naruto is admiring the Man who's done so much wrong

But Obito was about to revive everyone (including Neji) with Rinne Tensei until BZ interfered.
And I already told you it was a mistranslation and the raw said Naruto thought the Obito that wanted to become Hokage was cool/badass.

He's still defending Obito's sorry ass and saying he's not all that bad. If Hinata, Ino, or Shikamau talked trash about Obito and Naruto said that, it wouldn't be offensive?

Maybe. But there are two things to consider: Not everyone would be revived [EI Jiriaya, Minato, the Jinchurikis, Asuma etc]But Obito was about to revive everyone (including Neji) with Rinne Tensei until BZ interfered.
And: Naruto was never there to see that
Obito is the same person, regardless of what he wants to accomplish. He's always had the same consciousness

Here`s the problem. . Naruto he hasn't shown any sign of his grudge or give any second thought to Obito when he think that he's the coolest guy . It's too far fetched, makes his character (from emotional/human perspective) completely unbelievable to me and I think it's poor writing.
The Nagato treatment handled much better than Obito.

How is this guy so far in the manga yet doesnt understand Naruto's character? Friendship is just his thing, Naruto is like Barney.

Why is Nagato treatment handled much better than Obito?
Naruto handle both of them the same. Why are people missing this.
Are you guys just choosing to forget cause it will go against your guys logic.
1. Both Nagato and Obito killed people.
2.Wanted peace in their own way.
3. Naruto told them both that he will never forgive them but won't kill over hate.
4. After they heard naruto speech they both tried to revive those that were killed,only one succeeded.

To admire the part who was not a murderer but put himself in the way of harm protecting others.
What you miss is that :the one that wanted to be hokage was called awesome not the one who wanted to live in a dream world pretending everything was ok. That part of Obito got beaten up.
The context and who the message was intended for is important here. Too many people have a valid reason to not forgive Tobi. But BZ is not one of them, for he manipulated him into it. Whatever Obito did, he was dead and died with realization and heap or personal regrets. BZ is alive, mean, and cruel and out of all people he shouldn't be slandering his dead/dying victims. Thus his comments were not acceptable.
Despite all, Obito didn't try to blame Black Zetsu for his own actions nor he tried to play for forgiveness from Naruto and alliance. He helped because he decided to mend somethings he ruined. Whether they were going to treat him better for it or not was not his concern. He accepted he committed crimes and it's punishment.
Naruto showed him kindness despite the grief he caused him and for that he was grateful. That statement doesn't negate anything bad Obito did. That's just Naruto being Naruto- letting go of the bad and tackling the still existing evil in front.
How would you end a cycle if you do not do something different from others and break a loop?

'The coolest guy' was an exaggeration on MP's part.
Also, what you guys forget is that Obito saved the lives of the members of Team 7 all individually(

), thus proving his changed path and the desire to assist Naruto in saving the world. Obito dying, turning into ashes right in the hands of Naruto with a smile on his face and the words of him being sure that the latter would eventually become Hokage was what triggered Naruto's emotion and tears. It's never too late to change and one should receive the sympathy if the change is sincere. That's what happened between Obito and Naruto and that exactly is something too far to be called 'poor writing'.For me, both steps with Nagato and Obito were handled well, maintaining the concept of a savior of the main character, the concept of the one who'd finally sever the chain of hatred.

For pete's sake even the dead (Minato) didn't hold a grudge, what more the living (Naruto) ?
