Uchiha Obito did Nothing Wrong™

UHHHHHH OK SO I LOVE THE PURE RAW HEARTACHE OF IT ALL.... I just love tragedy and they're literally the most tragic duo in the whole thing, but I also love the potential for something beautiful despite everything. Sakumo's suicide changed kakashi's worldview in one direction, and obito's sacrifice changed it again in the opposite direction. I LOVE how kakashis loyalty and care for his comrades is rooted in obito, how his sacrifice overrode his father's suicide. Let's not forget kakashi was ready to abandon rin to her own devices, but.... He followed obito. And it was terrible, and kakashi truly believed he died, and that grief never abandoned him because he compulsively visited his grave. Like ? Insane. And kakashi hated himself so deeply for what happened, always going on suicide missions but never dying bc he wasn't going to throw away the sacrifice obito did for him meaninglessly.... Truly showstopping. and God his shock and pure horror in the war when he realised that was obito..... Wonderful. How do you even recover from the fact your long dead friend is now the master villain. The fact kakashi would've killed him had obito not been part zetsu is insane, kakashi thrust his hand through his chest to save the world but it was still the last thing he wanted to do.... Had obito died, he would've died a second time in his mind, and he would've been the second friend to kill through a raikiri to the chest..... Insane. Insane.

And the tragedy is mirrored from obito's side too. He fully gave his life for kakashi, the fact Madara saved him was not in his plans at all. He saved kakashi and he was happy to die for him, and when he realised he was alive some of his first thoughts were just to run back to kakashi and rin and be the best team with kakashi, like..... Previously they were the farthest thing from a team (which if you take the anime flashbacks as canon that just makes it more sad, because they're shown as having become friends way before the bridge mission), but after that? All he wanted was to be kakashi's most trusted partner lol...... Insane! And the grief of watching kakashi kill rin just destroyed him.... And that made him hate kakashi but. Not enough to kill him obviously LOL. and I fully believe that when he learnt Madara orchestrated the whole thing, kakashi's unnecessary trauma is what stuck with him BECAAAAUUUSEEEE obito always went on and on about how he's going to stop endless suffering with tsukinome, and in their very last confrontation, this is what he assured kakashi he was going to give him... Anything he wanted. No more pain. AND the fact obito just kept refusing to kill him even if 1. He obviously has no qualms about killing people and actually seems to enjoy it lol and 2. He could've. Obito could've killed kakashi in kamui. But didn't. THAT'S romance

All in all they're two people who destroyed and remade each other so intimately despite their lack of contact that even after everything, they'll always be two halves of a whole, they'll always care about the other even against their own will, and I love how their shared sharingan is the most pure symbol of that connection, to the point their mangekyo are two halves of the same jutsu (which is literally unseen in every other Uchiha, all other (manga) mangekyo users have unrelated powers or the same power in both eyes.... Yeah)

All in all despite their lack of screen time their importance to one another can't be understated... There's so much potential for what ifs in every single direction and I love that

All in all
