I believe that Obito took over Kirigakue for Revenge.It has been established before he was revealed to be Obito that he spent time in Kirigakure, placing the Mizukage Yagura under a genjutsu and making him a Puppet. As of chapter 629, we know that Rin was kidnapped by Kirigakure and made into the Three tails jinchūriki. Kirigakure ninjas then allowed Kakashi to rescue her and pretended to pursue them so she would return to the village quicker and then lose control of the Three tails in the Hidden Leaf. Rin decided to step in the way of Kakashi's attack, dying in the process so she wouldn't harm the village. Obito would know this information since he controlled Kirigakure's leader afterwards, so what ever information the Mizukage knew or had access to, so would Obito. Obito was in love with Rin and clearly her death took a large toll on his psyche, whether he admits it to Kakashi or not. The current Mizukage, Mei Terumī, has also said that rule under Yagura was incredibly harsh, but they were already know as "The Bloody Mist" before Yagura/Obito took power. Obito probably made things worse for Kirigakure to get back at them for Rin's death.
