Oh, Obito definitely wasn't honest with him for sure. I theorise that Obito let Nagato become crippled so he could control him easier. Nagato didn't know most of the Rinnegan abilities at the time of his fight against Hanzo. If he did, he would never have sacrificed his mobility. Hanzo's troops would have been decimated by a large Shinra Tensei or a Chibaku Tensei.

I also think that if Naruto had been captured successfully, Pain and Obito would have eventually clashed. Nagato and Konan never liked him, that's for sure. Konan spent years prepping for her battle against Obito, meaning that their plan to betray Obito, either with Naruto or in their own way, has been for a good while. Would have been really cool to see that fight, with Pain on Konan's side.
