I feel like Obito couldn’t understand Kakashi’s reluctance towards the Eye of the Moon plan because, to him, his old team was the only family he ever had. He may have been closest to Rin, but while he was in the cave, he never talks about her in isolation. Every time he talks about going home, he’s referring to everyone, and specifically to both of his friends. White Zetsu even comments that he was saying both their names in his sleep. When he sees a sample of his dream world, it’s Team Minato, Minato included. He seems disturbed by Rin saying “I won’t ignore you,” (rightfully so, because even he knew that wasn’t her). He loved her, certainly, she was the center of his world, but she wasn’t the only person he searched for connection with. He even asked Madara “What am I to you” because he wanted so desperately to have anyone who loves him (Rin was the only person who ever made him feel loved, I think)
But Kakashi barely talks about Minato or Rin. He’s completely monomanic about Obito, and he always was. He stands at the memorial stone, where both Rin and Obito’s names are engraved, but Yugao asks him, “Paying respects to Obito?”. When Rin first tells him “kill me”, he says “I promised Obito I’d protect you”, as if that’s the most important argument. Is that not an insane thing to tell your friend? I can’t kill you because I promised someone else I wouldn’t, someone who actually cared for you? And in Obito’s illusion, he makes Rin say “I love you” to Kakashi, and he conjures an “ideal version of himself”, but Kakashi is literally crazy!! He could not care less what Obito became!! He was still in denial, “You’re a Konoha hero” even after realising he’s behind damn near every horrible thing to happen for the last 20 years!! Obito should have been more creeped out by that tbh
