You may think of it like when Minato and Kushina appeared in Naruto's subconscious. Obito will "possess" Kakashi until his chakra is finished, and then return to Rin in the afterlife once and for all. @CC23, what I think happened was that when Obito was impaled with the Ash-Killing Bones, there were still parts of his body left (albeit in ash). Obito connected with the remaining chakra in his crumbled body parts (since chakra can be be found all the way into someone's cells, i.e. Hashirama); I don't think Obito "came back to life," but he switched dimensions with Kamui, and came into the form of chakra since he died in Kaguya's dimension. He transferred the remaining chakra left in his body parts in Kaguya's dimension to Kakashi, then returned to the afterlife dimension. I don't think Obito is there "possessing" Kakashi (not knocking you or your theory, @JOA20, but we don't know what exactly happened), because if he was, Kakashi wouldn't of thanked Obito in his mind shown on the last page; I'm pretty sure Kakashi would have thanked him personally when they temporarily reunited moments after Obito had died. So yeah, I think Obito used the opportunity at the last second to transfer his chakra into a living body before it vanished forever (Though I think he should have done that the moment he was impaled, but what Kishi did was crush our hopes of Kakashi getting both eyes, then instantly revived it, so I ain't mad).
