Nope
1.)Of all the anti-Narutos, Obito is the worst
2.)Gaara represented what Naruto would become without bonds
3.)Nagato represented an extreme way of following the ideal of peace that Jiraya wanted to exist
4.)Regarding Sasuke, Naruto himself said they both could be in each other shoes during the Kage Summit
5.)Obito's motive for his actions is weak and underdeveloped, the only things he has in common with Naruto are being quite a bad ninja in the beginning, the unrequited love he had for Rin and the fact he wanted to be hokage for some reason (most likely to impress Rin), IMO pretty superficial if we go by what the other Gaara and Nagato represented regarding Naruto's character
Some things you said were just wrong because Obito's backstory was done in a half assed manner and so we have no indication he was actually ostracized by the Uchiha
Really I have nothing against Obito but he was an underdevelopd , badly done villain, his backstory and motives lacked clearance and big part of the fandom didn't bought his redemption. That's mainly Kishi's fault
1.) False.
2.) Not true. Gaara's hatred of the world stemmed initially from the betrayal of his father and uncle, something Naruto would have never had the opportunity to understand, for obvious reasons. Gaara had to survive murder attempts orchestrated by those who he thought to be closest to him.
3.) The only thing that Nagato and Naruto had in common was that Jiraiya was their teacher. Even in methodology, they were different. Nagato approached the world from an intellectual, philosophical perspective. Naruto did not. Nagato distanced himself from his problems, Naruto had to experience these things up close and personal.
4.) And? Obito fits that bill just as much. Obito and Naruto are exactly alike, Obito and Kakashi both remarked how strikingly similar they are, Kakashi went so far as to correctly remark that Obito was trying ferociously to beat Naruto will, simply because if Naruto gave up, then Obito would have felt validation that his original ideas, those same ideals that Naruto possessed, were wrong.
5.) Just because you think his reason for war was weak doesn't mean it's true. His motivation for changing the system was the same as Hashirama, Madara, Jiraiya, Minato, Hagoromo, etc. in the sense that they all hated the way the system worked. Hashirama wanted to change the system because he hated how it took the lives of his loved ones (his brothers) while Obito wanted the same because he felt that the only person he loved was taken by the same system. If you're going to call Obito's motive weak, then you also need to call Hashirama's weak. If you're going to call Obito's motive weak, then you also need to call Madara's weak. If you're going to call Obito's motive weak, then you also need to call Jiraiya's weak, as he wanted to change the system because he hated seeing loved ones of his and his friends die, the same as Obito. If you're going to call Obito's motive weak, then you also need to call Minato's motive weak, for the same reason as Jiraiya. If you're going to call Obito's motive weak, then you also need to call Naruto's weak, for the very same reason. The only fault of Obito is that his methods were terribly wrong.
The only person who's motive you can call weak is Sasuke's, because while he qualifies for the above situations, he fails because his motives were not born from the will of another, rather he was selfish. In the end, while he said that he wanted to do things to avoid another Itachi, he demonstrated the exact opposite. He didn't adhere to Itachi's wishes or advice, and he knew that the path that he was going to take was only going to create more pain and more people like Itachi. The thing is that he didn't care, he was doing things for himself. And before you say that Obito was selfish as well, yes, I know that. But he and Sasuke differ in the sense that Obito was selfish from being blinded, Sasuke was selfish because he wanted to be. Obito and Sasuke are leagues apart.
Obito is, and will always be, the closest thing to an anti-naruto we will ever get, he was the exact polar opposite of Naruto. He is what would have happened to Naruto if Jiraiya, Tsunade, or Sakura had died in his arms. There is no getting past that.
