What did you get from the picture on the bottom panel when you saw it?
Is Naruto seeing himself in Obito?
Is Obito seeing himself in Naruto?
Or, is Kishi foreshadowing?

Obito = Sage in body
Naruto = Sage in spirit
was what I took from it. That, or deep down, their ideals are the same, Peace.

It's like in the last Harry Potter movie when Voldemort and Harry's faces morphed together during their fight. It's because they're foils. It's just symbolism by kishi.

Isn't this right before Obito thinks how the past can be different?

I took it as Obito seeing himself in Naruto's shoes, or, just as the good guy who stayed in the village.

Or, that they both share the same ideals and Kishi/Obito is showing us that.

All I see is two retards who thinks the world evolves around them.
Idc for either, Naruto and sasuke should die (not really die, but go to another dimension and meet the Sage and stuff)
Come back several years after the war as grown men and friends, but no showing it.

New series right there, perfect start off, your move Kishi.

It's a good thing you aren't the author. That'd be the only time I admit that this series has gone downhill.

Obito is the evil Naruto, Obito is the one the Old frog was talking about. Their paths would've swapped easily.

You should quit while you're ahead.

Obito was thinking about how he would be in Naruto's place

It possibly to show how simmular they are, Obitio is Naruto had he choose that path...Menma, and Naruto is Obito who never lose Rin, just kept getting friendzone,

The reason I think is because Nanoboko probably clashed with its creator:

Hagoromo and Naruto's strong feelings probably synched:

Not surprising since Naruto is Rikudou's Reincarnation

Even the Juubi confirmed it when it saw the Sage in Naruto:

Naruto and Rikudou's Soul are one and the same.

The meaning in that last panel can be found in the following page. Obito was trying to break Naruto to prove a point to himself... that leaving behind the path Naruto chose was correct. He and Naruto were truly the same up until the point Rin died. He then began seeing how his life could have turned out if he hadn't made that choice, and believed in friends, that love doesn't have to lead to hate, and peace can be found in this world.

Its showing the same thing theyve been talking about, Obito seeing himself in Naruto and giving in to the awesome power of his nindo.
