Itachi didn’t find Obito; Danzo worked with him to assassinate the 4th Hokage by leaking his wife’s delivery location and letting the 9 tails loose.
We’re supposed to believe Itachi found Obito, with no evidence, or even hearsay as to what methods he used, how long it took and How he knew “Madara” was alive. It’s one of those “trust me, bro” moments that Kishimoto uses that proves he shouldn’t have written past the “world establishment phase” of the manga.
There is no way Obito found Kushina’s decided birthing location by tailing Kakashi. The only thing he found out was that Kushina was close to giving birth. He wouldn’t even need to use Zetsu spores, he just needed a time, Danzo supplied the rest.
He had every motive to kill Minato. He was suppressing Danzo’s power in the council and restricting his movements against other countries. Danzo found the real Madara when he was researching how to implant sharingans and they made a deal; “kill Minato for me and make it look like the Uchiha did it so I can go back to manipulating Hiruzen behind the scenes (or even throw pretense out the window and become Hokage myself if he dies during the attack), and I’ll supply you with a portion of Sharigans when I kill off the Uchiha clan in a secret coup.”
The only people privy to Kushina’s location were Minato, Hiruzen and his wife (who I’m sure was cheating on him with Dazo, considering how much Asuma looks like him and shares the same chakra nature, with having any in common with Hiruzen, but hey details), and the village elders (which Danzo still held his seat on.) It doesn’t take a genius to realise that Danzo leaked the agreed location to Obito, who would only have to wait until Danzo told him “It’s going down” or he found out by tailing Kakashi, who was told Kushina was close, but not told her location for security reasons.
After all of that, Itachi goes looking for “Madara” to help kill his clan with no evidence the fucker is alive and succeeds?! I have a better time believing the guy who filmed Bigfoot succeeded in finding aid creature, but also doing it without any experience in tracking, and getting a shot in broad daylight the first god damn time they tried. No, Danzo pointed Itachi in the right direction, or hell, probably had the dick’s address and phone number and sent Itachi off with a note pinned to his jacket. I’m starting to think the reason Itachi is so popular is because he clearly has mild autism and we know how popular THAT is on this site.
