Why did Obito pursue IT?

[Scryed]

Did he pursue it because Rin died or because he wanted to get rid of the Shinobi system?

 

[Ansatsuken]

To be with Rin

 

[Brady]

He always was the type to help others, so I'd say it's half and half.

 

[Rikudou Tobi]

I'm pretty sure he told kakashi in the manga, if you happened to miss that chapter.

 

[AllKnowingShinobi]

he was madara programmed and
we got pieces of everything what true obito really wanted that was to become hokage
the rest i think was just brain wash of rin/changing the world...
he did lose his best friend , lover, and mentor that day. and it would be werid if he fantasize kakshi or the 4th

Rin was his personal reason for pursuing IT, however he pursued it for the sake of himself and others.

Here is your answer :sdo:

i think rin was the good part in his heart the only thing that was the true obito other 98% fraction is his temperament and anger towards life. he honestly just wants a redo at life before that rock smash from lvl 2 geodude

Ok, let's recap what we know about Obito's backstory:

Obito grew up with the dream of becoming Hokage and winning Rin's heart. He wasn't very close to either goal, but at least he was in the running. It was something he could be contempt with. However, for the sake of his friends, he decided to give up his own goals so Kakashi and Rin could reach theirs instead.

(Un)fortunately, his life was salvaged by Madara and Zetsu. During his recovery, Zetsu talked about this awesome idea: how to rid the world of sadness and let everybody reach their own goals. This sounds kinda sweet to Obito, but he's not quite buying it yet. He has a home to go to. He can live out the rest of his life pursuing his dream. It's not over for him yet.

Well, we all know what happened. He sees Kakashi murdering Rin first hand. Two of his major goals have now been shattered; not only will he never be together with Rin (in fact, she died a horrific death), but how can he return to Konoha now? Return to see his best friend who just murdered his love interest despite trusting him with her life? Why does he want to lead a village that was likely responsible for putting Rin in that situation in the first place? Heck no, his dreams are as good as gone.

Now Madara's plan doesn't look half bad. He's sure as hell not the only ninja in the world who has had their dreams taken away, nor is he the last. Why is it such a bad thing to ensure that people get what they want?

-----------------------

I believe that Obito does have the good of humanity in his mind. Rin is just his piece of the pie. The manga does talk about it a bit obsessively, but that's not unique to the Rin dilemma. He's ultimately another Naruto parallel with Madara's influence woven into the picture.

It was not because of Rin, but what happened to her that motivated Obito to pursue Infinite Tsukuyomi.

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

Rin was a metaphor and also Obito's last straw. If you had your world taken from you and Madara telling you it's a fake reality then you will dissociate everything else.

This is literally explained. He says it straight to Kakashi and there's little room for interpretation when Kishimoto was so blunt about it.

 

[Azarath Metrion Zinthos]

He covered it up by telling himself and everyone who questioned him that he wanted to recreate the world so everyone could be happy. But we all know for whom this happy world was meant to be created.

 

[Luminousi]

It was probably both but it wasn't really his idea to begin with, he was manipulated by Madara who in turn was manipulated by Black Zetsu/Kaguya.
