He is one of the smartest people in the naruto verse IMO. Yeah sure Madara told him to do all of this but it isn't easy to sneak into the village and steal the kyuubi. Why are people underrating his intelligence lately?

Mostly because his decision-making process and line of reasoning are completely illogical, despite his apparent prowess at manipulation / general understanding of the workings of the world... he's skilled, but not necessarily the brightest bulb in certain areas.

What do you care how people rate a character? Every character is underrated and overrated by different people with contrasting viewpoints. Get over it.

If obito would still wear that mask they would think he is one of the smartest. They forgot that Obito(unmasked) is still the same person as Tobi(masked Obito).

Because people either don't understand or agree with his reasoning.
They fail to remember that he was Tobi, the mastermind behind almost every entire happening of the series.

He might be smart but gets easily influenced by his surroundings.

If anybody brought Rin back with the Edo Tensei then I think he would flee from the battle.

He's obviously smart. Not the smartest though.

They are not underrating his intelligence, They just think that the reason for him wanting to put everyone under a genjutsu is ridiculous

It would be easy for him to sneak into the village though because he can just teleport there, imo he's only battle wise smart well kinda, he's good at getting inside peoples heads and messing up there minds though like he done to Nagato and Sasuke

I can think of three reasons.

1. I think some people have difficulty seeing kid Obito and adult Obito as different people with different skills.
2. His motive for becoming evil turned him into a misguided figure who was easily manipulated by Madara. So his image as an intelligent guy has taken some damage.
3. He's gone through a character rewrite after his mask broke, so he suddenly doesn't think his actions through and he doesn't seem to analyse his opponents anymore.

Also, we still don't know why he has done the things he has done, like the Uchiha massacre or his attack on Konoha.

1. kid obito had good morals and values... life above the mission is what he chooses
2. *you let RIN die* is symbolism for people having to kill their friends, not being able to save people, breaking promises. He doesn't want things like that to happen anymore... he wants to make the world obey his ideals. Rin's death broke his heart.
3. When his mask broke, he was no longer hiding his identity. Kakashi knows who he is so now it is personal and Obito is showing it. He wants Kakashi to understand the way of the shinobi is wrong, and why you shouldn't give up on your friends and break promises. You should find another way out rather than the easy way.. Kakashi killed Rin instead of killing the Enemy ninja (he wasn't strong enuff too at that time) so he chose the village rules over her... (kinda like following in his fathers footsteps instead of killing himself ) in Obito's eyes.

Uchiha Massacre involving Obito prob included Danzo and/or gaining Sharingan power, eliminating potential threats to the Moon's Eye Plan *Infinite Tsukuyomi* since sharingan can break out of sharingan genjutsu.. other than make a deal with Itachi :ls:
