I take it alot of people here don't agree with obito being the main antagonist of the manga. Apparently for the reason that can't connect to any characters. Well if people looked at things in a shade of grey rather then black or white they would see the connection.
Obito connects with kakashi and his ninja generation for obvious reasons.
Obito connects with sasuke for having loved and lost, searing for vengeance in place of pain.
Obito connects with Sakura for having once been a black sheep on his team and his clan. He was shunned by the uchiha for not awakening his sharingan and kakashi pointed out often how much of a useless crybaby he was.
He connects with the uchiha clan and their curse of hatred
And finally he might as well be naruto's other half. As a child obito wanted to be a cause for change. Why? Because no one acknowledged him at all. He always was one-upped by kakashi as naruto was by sasuke. His clan looked at him as a disgrace for his lack of sharingan, and naruto was disgraced for being a jinchuriki. They both have the pain of failure and loneliness. Obito like naruto, loved a girl who loved his rival. Both put comrades before anything, and would die to protect their bonds (obviously). And both wanted to be hogake, to gain the love and respect they coveted. Not to mention their EXTREMELY similar personalities and seemingly same choice in favorite color.
Obito's clothes are the reverse of naruto's orange and blue as a kid too, symbolic of obito being the flipside to naruto. Naruto's orange being the more predominant yet bright color to obito's more predominant dark blue and gloomy color. Even obito being crushed by a rock is symbolism. The rock doesn't just crush obito. It crushes all that he believed and lived for. It crushes his dreams and leaves darkness, and a scarred past.
Obito is not just a character he is a metaphor, and naruto's what if, his other side of the coin, and connects very well when you look at every detail and underlying meaning.
