Never really thought people would this upset over tobi being obito. Kishi made it pretty obvious that tobi was obito all along. First why the hell do you think kishi would write a six issue manga of kakashi's origin introducing obito in between naruto part 1 and part 2? It's was also hinted at the entire time in the tobi battle without ever actually saying he was obito. Then he introduces tobi shortly into part 2. It's also fairly obvious why obito went crazy. He was madly in love with rin. It also explains why he intially didn't like kakashi and didn't have a gift for him since rin had a crush on him instead. Kakashi promised obito that he would protect rin right before obito supposedly died. That didn't happen it seems. Obito somehow found this out. I'm guessing she somehow died in the war, but we'll find out soon. This drove obito to the darkside most likely. I believe orochimaru somehow had something to do with healing obito. Orichimaru was the one who studied the first hokage. Initially I think he attacked the leaf village with the nine tails to simply get revenge. For all we know rin may have been killed shortly before the attack. He also told minato there are many other ways to get revenge. His planned later changed to the moon plan obviously. I think there may be more to the moon plan than we know. I'm wondering if its possible. Tobi was never a powerful ninja. Not at all. Minato owned him. Konan almost killed him but he barely won only because konan didn't know about inzami. The only reason he was able to be the anbu and a few other ninjas was simply because they had no understanding of his technique at the time. It's also true that he controls the statue but for all we know just being an uchiha may allow him to do that. We still don't know much about the statue. Anyways I think kishi did a good job picking obito to be tobi. It really wouldn't make any sense at all for him to be anyone else. Please get over it all ready.
