Sorry I gotta call out of work I have to go mourn the bestest little robot there ever was
Also facts, we all love Kakashi Sensei's cool demeanor 🥰
You won’t get it if I explain both at the same time. As your teacher, I’m sorry.
This broke me when I was a kid. Had me sobbing.
As much as we all love to tease him, Naruto’s actually real fucking smart. I do it, too, in no small part because I see a lot of myself in him. Having ADHD, growing up fighting desperately to be able to learn on even ground, with the same opportunity as my peers, and never really having exactly what Kakashi is being here. Most of us never have so much consideration into changing how instead of what is being taught. Yet, here was a well-known, beloved, and even respected character across the world doing what all teachers should do.
For context, the gif above is from one of the first scenes where Kakashi is taking Naruto’s training more directly and teaching him foundations of pieces Naruto already uses. Initially, he goes to explain this in a very direct, technical manner as he would for Sasuke or Sakura, and quickly realizes that is the wrong approach for Naruto. He then, as he will continue to do throughout training Naruto, breaks things down differently or shows him in a tangible way. Teaching him how to access the full extent of the shadow clones is a perfect example of this.
And the biggest reason it made me cry my fucking eyes out is because as he does this, there is not a single implication that he’s looking down on Naruto for needing a different approach. Not even a little.
Now, this is emotional for even more reasons, because we have a much better understanding of Naruto’s parents and a significantly better idea of what Minato was probably like as a teacher. Minato also had a brilliant student who was almost certainly ADHD, I mean we have joked about him being like Naruto since he was introduced, and in all honesty, I’m am really fucking sure that Minato understood a bit more first-hand than it would appear. We see how similar their ways of impulsive thinking are, and how absolutely unintentionally ridiculous Minato is if he isn’t focused. Kakashi being Kakashi was probably aware of these things, probably saw for himself this same example set by his teacher. In other words, Kakashi is a real good fucking teacher and has made me cry for the only reasons a teacher should ever make someone cry, which is still a very foreign experience.
Fighting dreamers…
😂😂😂😂😂😂🌸🌸🌸 Naruto and Kakashi trying to save Sakura-chan's innocence. I've always said that she is a pervert inside 🤭🤭🤭
They are soo adorables ❤❤❤💕💕
Someone's talking malicious shit about Sakumo and attempting to put him out of business. Good thing Sakumo's gym buddy is the world's greatest medic corporate lawyer.
This puts Shizune and Kakashi in each other's orbit.
It is very cute.
Tsunade and Sakumo are too busy crying over how cute it is to realise their two kids are plotting to take over the corporate world.
(Idea for medics being lawyers in business AU comes from Doodlebotbop on AO3.)

Hi, what do you think about this "Kakashi sucks because he is loyal to the system that is responsible for everything" at first I was angry with the person who said this but at the same time I thought why is Kakashi loyal to Konoha and never left?
Why would he leave?
Like, what would he possibly achieve by running away from his home and leaving the few friends he has left behind?. Kakashi is not like those characters who are like "I got hurt so everyone should hurt too and feel the same pain I felt" no, Kakashi is the kind of character who is like "I got hurt so I don't want anyone else to ever go through what I went through" so he stayed and did his best to protect his friends and the the innocent ppl that he swore to protect when he decided to be a ninja. So what good would running a way and abandoning all of those people would achieve? Leaving the village won't get him anywhere. Like seriously, what would he do after he leaves? Join the Akatsuki and hurt even more innocent ppl? Or just keep running for the rest of his life without doing anything useful at all?! And he did answer your question in chapter 630. When he said "The hole in one's heart gets filled by others around you. People won't flock to someone who abandons the memory of his friends and gives up on the world just because things don't go the way he wants them to. That won't help fill the hole in your heart. People don't help those who run away and do nothing. As long as you don't give up, there will always be salvation."
And this is the difference between Kakashi and Naruto, and all the other characters that "left". No matter how bad he was hurt, he still had hope for a better future, he still did his best to make a change that would actually count and help someone or protect someone. And he didn't only dream of changing Konoha for the best because it wasn't just Konoha, he dreamed of changing the entire Shinobi world so no one would ever get hurt again the same way he and his team got hurt.
Kakashi is not the kind of person who would act upon his emotions alone, he never does anything that isn't well calculated and that's what makes him the tactical genius he is, even when he failed those students that came before team 7, he didn't fail them because he's depressed or because he was being bitter, he failed them because they weren't ready, because they would have probably been killed if they passed and started to take missions and they themselves thanked him for that
And he's not "loyal to the system" as whoever that person is claimed. Kakashi is not a mindless Shinobi who blindly follows orders either, he disobeyed direct orders from both Hiruzen and Tsunade before, if he thinks that a certain order is wrong he won't do it, no matter who gave it
So by staying he did far more good than he could have ever done if he acted like a rebellious teenager and just left. He saved those kids he failed from getting killed in some mission because they were made Shinobi before they were ready, he protected his friends, students and his ppl countless of times and as a result he became Hokage later and helped even more ppl even beyond his nation, by maintaining the peace that they all fought so hard for by creating the exchange system between the Shinobi world that kept them all needing each other and stopped any possible conflict that might occur, he cleaned the village from the corrupt system and all the damage that was still left by Danzo and his followers as mentioned in Kakashi Retsuden, he even forbade killing, even for enemies and so many other things he did as a Hokage that I will leave for another post that didn't just help Konoha but helped the entire world like he once dreamed as a kid. He would have never been able to do any of this if he simply just left the village. Throwing a tantrum then leaving the village and not actually doing anything good to change things isn't what makes a character cool imo, but standing their ground, fighting for their beliefs, helping others and trying to make a change is what makes a character cool and that's one of so many reasons Kakashi is my favorite character.
