As soon as I saw the name of the chapter I flipped. Gah, Obito!? It seemed so obvious, but he was such a good kid. :c Why, Kishi, WHY!?
This is going to take some serious explaining... Kishi's going to have one hell of a time doing it, too, with all the discrepancies everyone pointed out. The next chapter, big 600, better be a great one.
But I really loved this chapter. It had me on the edge of my seat! And the no dialogue thing, fantastic. The flashbacks just broke my heart.

It's clear Obito's love for Rin was really important... Man, it was almost like reading about Naruto himself, just with black hair, black eyes, and no whiskers (and different clothes, obviously). But his feelings for her took up a good chunk of the chapter. It was like reading about Naruto and Sakura all over again. xD There's just too many similarities for it to be a "coincidence" or what have you. Especially with the Sakura tree. But, yeah, I don't really enjoy the Kakashi/Sasuke parallels.
I just have this feeling Rin had something to with him turning evil... Obviously simply having unrequited love wouldn't be what made him go bad, but perhaps her death was a part of it? Maybe it was the final thing to push him over the edge. And I feel so bad for Kakashi. Dx But at least we'll finally (hopefully) find out what happened to Rin. Maybe this is the whole thing about Kakashi Kishi promised several times?
Yeah, I'm anxiously anticipating the next chapter. I really have no idea what will happen.
