As I mentioned before, I do think that Madara had something to do with Rin's death, using it as a tool to turn Obito. However, if this is the event that does it, and it seems it is, then we are missing part of the equation. Why are Kakashi and Rin there?
So, let's see... Someone at Konoha wanted to learn all jutsu, and maybe bumped into a Zetsu working on behalf of Madara. This fellow, we'll call him Orochimaru, learns a few things from this Zetsu, like how to mix DNAs to make a better entity. Someone else at Konoha wants the power to protect Konoha and surpass the God of Shinobi, Sarutobi. We'll call him.... I dunno... Danzo. Danzo sees some of the cool stuff Orochimaru learned and wants Orochimaru to give him a power-up. So, now, Danzo wants Orochimaru to give him more power, and Orochimaru wants more power from Madara via Zetsu, and Madara needs Obito to abandon all hope except the hope that, this very chapter, Zetsu put into him that people can be resurrected via this massive genjutsu, which we'll call.... the Moon's Eye Plan.
So, a deal is struck between Zetsu, on behalf of Madara, and Orochimaru, that Madara will teach Orochimaru more, but only if he can get Kakashi and Rin to a certain spot at a designated time. And another deal is struck between Orochimaru and Danzo, that Orochimaru will work to make Danzo stronger than he could imagine, but only if Danzo orders two specific ANBU to a certain spot at a certain time. Because he feels it is for the greater good, he does exactly this and sends.... Kakashi and Rin, as requested.
Meanwhile, Madara, via a Zetsu clone using Madara's chakra, is puppeteering Yagura and has Mist shinobi deploy to a certain spot at a certain time....
Things work out predictably, and Madara, via Zetsu, teaches more to Orochimaru, who, using that knowledge and Sharingan later provided to him by Zetsu furthers his research to an unprecedented level and makes himself and Danzo way stronger, and, meanwhile, Obito sees Rin die and buys into Moon's Eye as a means to resurrect her, as Zetsu promised.
