Was Obito wanting to be Hokage and being an orphan mentioned in Kakashi Gaiden?

Being an orphan no, wanting to be Hokage, yes.

No, neither was mentioned- at least to my recollection.

Kishimoto just added that in during the war arc because he saw views plummeting and wanted the audience to sympathize/care about Obito.

Edit: ch 239 to 244 were Kakashi Gaiden. Just re-read it. No, neither are mentioned.

This. Orphan status was revealed by Naruto when he got in Obito's thoughts in ch 653 and told him "you didn't know your parents."

Not quite.

You're right on the orphan status...but the Hokage part wasn't revealed until the war arc either.

The Hokage part was revealed during one of Obito's flashbacks, when Kakashi is recalling the old Obito, the one he knew. It was revealed in Volume 63.

Yes, really. :)

Kakashi Gaiden was covered in volume 27 of the manga. Obito is revealed to be Tobi and Kakashi has some flashbacks of him when they were kids (which is where the scene of him saying he wants to be Hokage is shown) in volume 63.

My bad - some day I'll have to go back through just to see whether the number of Obito flashback panels actually exceeds the length of Kakashi Gaiden :)
