Sis?
Edit: I'll list a few: He gladly sacrificed the lives of Konoha civilians and ninja to become Hokage. Now, he might have thought he was the best for the job but at the end of the day he got a promotion. He did several things to become Hokage, like align himself with Hanzo and Orochimaru. His decision to have Sasuke killed certainly could have kept Konoha safe but keep in mind who Sasuke went after immediately. His extermination of the Uchiha certainly did stop a coup but it allowed him to break Hiruzen's rules and get some eyes out of the whole thing. It's also worth noting that he only used his Izanagi to protect himself, which fits the idea that he places self preservation above anything else.

Care to list some examples? 'cause honestly, the only actions he performed that I recall personally benefited (or would have) are.his shenanigans between the start of the kage meeting, and his death.
- Apparently created Root in order to facilitate his ascent to Hokage.
- Danzou aided Hanzo in the hopes that the latter would also facilitate his ascent to Hokage
- The Uchiha massacre, where he prevented Shisui from stopping it by stealing his eye, and then coerced Itachi into slaughtering his clan. It prevented Konoha from becoming embroiled in civil war, but he got a collection of eyes for his trouble.
- Had Orochimaru amp him. 😛
- Killed the toad that would have relayed a message to Mount Myoboku. Held back his own forces from defending Konoha in order to try and end Tsunade's tenure as Hokage.
- His Kotoamatsukami shenanigans at the Summit.
Now his actions have benefited Konoha, but it's undeniable that he believed his actions would have had some foreseeable benefit to him. Then again, he wanted to be Hokage as he thought it would benefit Konoha.
I don't remember if I posted this before, but a hypothetical version of slug sage mode.
God Q99, quit posting that yaoi.

He doesn't see the point. He is still living in the kinda ****ed up world where his friend killed her.

It'd take years before Nagato is strong enough, probably, and Nagato has to be convinced into it. "Revive one of the strongest of all time to fulfill our dream where Rin and Yahiko are both alive," works easier than "Revive this girl I knew."
The eyes are already in Nagato, and Obito likely isn't powerful enough to use them if he snagged 'em back.

Choosing between the life of one girl, albeit the girl whose death set him on his current path, and the 'end' of all wars and suffering in a 'world' of paradise, is not that hard a choice, considering he actually believes it to be possible. Besides, there are more people those two could have revived, but didn't.
Also, this is Kishi we're talking about.

Needs more Slug features IMO.
