I find it puzzling when people simplify Kakashi and Obito's relationship, diminishing the significance of Obito's bond with Rin. To me, Rin was not merely a girl Obito had a crush on; she was his closest friend. Obito's pre-war life was filled with positive moments shared with Rin. She was the one he confided in, the first person to believe in his dreams of becoming Hokage, and his emotional support. Their connection ran deep, and Rin was there for Obito in many ways, not just because of her looks but because she genuinely cared about him. Their relationship resembled the bond between Nagato and Yahiko, with the difference that Obito had romantic feelings for Rin. It's surprising that Obito cared about Kakashi as much as he did, given that their friendship wasn't as close as his friendship with Rin until their final mission together. In my opinion, Kakashi doesn't deserve the title of Obito's best friend; that honor belongs to Rin. Kakashi fell in love with her because she was his friend, not the other way around. This complex relationship is often oversimplified and mischaracterized by fans to criticize the Naruto series, which has faced intense scrutiny since its original run ended nearly a decade ago.
