This coincides with what we know from the Attack. Naruto’s birth and the attack happened 1 year after Rin’s death. Kakashi, Obito, and Rin were all 13 when Rin died, because Kakashi had received his Jonin promotion at 13, and all three are the same age. Obito went missing following the mission where he gave Kakashi his left Sharingan, and Rin died soon after, which led to Obito agreeing to following Madara.
One year later, Obito goes to Rin’s grave in Konoha and overhears Kakashi telling Rin about Naruto’s birth, which would happen soon. Since Kushina was a Jinchuriki, Obito knew it would be the perfect chance to steal Kurama and use it to attack Konoha, hence the Attack.
