Kakashi vs Obito was my favourite in Shippuden.

The thing that confuses me about Obito's real intentions in that fight is this;

Obito could've just let Kakashi stab him right when they entered the Kamui dimension. Instead he yelled for Kakashi to stop.

Obito could've let Kakashi's Raikiri pass straight through him when he got up, but instead used Genjutsu to get his point across.

And in the end, despite not caring about anyone in the world since he was to create his own perfect world, He couldn't kill Kakashi in their final mutual stabbing.

My thoughts?

Obito held back, but not quite as much as people make it out to be. I don't think it's too far fetched to say Obito had to try pretty hard against Kakashi, since he just spent that day controlling multiple Tailed Beasts, fighting two Perfect Jinjuuriki and two Kage level Shinobi, etc. Obito could have very well been very worn out, and so had to fight very hard to get what he wanted. Of course he still held back, but I don't think he had full control of that fight.
