The Previous Kage In Question: Chill

little anatomy practice with the favourite ninja

just sitting here thinking about how incredible kakashi was as a leader even though most people seem to think he was like a placeholder hokage until naruto took over

(spoilers for kakashi retsuden incoming)

listen okay he was hokage for at least 12 years and in that time he not only helped konoha to insanely technologically advance, teamed up with sakura to create a children's mental health clinic but also had time and dedication to develop jutsu that can overpower the element they're weak to

based on the novel, we know for certain that he created a fire jutsu that overpowered a ridiculously strong water jutsu and that he developed a way to make an earth wall resistant to lightning by turning the point of contact into crystal (it's also indicated that he's one of the only people with good enough control to do it)

without the sharingan sapping his chakra and training throughout his entire hokage tenure he also had enough power to hold up an earth wall thick enough to stop cannon fire around an entire village for two straight days

and after all that, he brought down a whole hoarde of hired shinobi non-lethally

kakashi never wanted to be hokage, he didn't think he was worthy of that title, but took it on because his comrades needed him to and believed in him

he dedicated himself to the position and made so much positive change for konoha and for the bonds they forged during the fourth war

people who think kakashi was just a nothing hokage warming the seat for naruto completely misunderstand who he is fundamentally as a person and as a shinobi

okay rant over lmao

Team 7 using their super godly powers to see Kakashi Sensei's face 👀

Kakashi: be careful, Naruto! Don't let him escape 👀

Naruto: don't worry, Sensei. He can't escape, this time we got him, hehe

Naruto: wait a minute!! 😨

If I Had Four Dromedaries (Chris Marker, 1966)

this scene is so unintentionally funny on a second viewing because you can see the exact moment when danzo starts having flashbacks to the last time he wasted 10+ years painstakingly programming a personal protege who then spent five minutes in kakashi’s company and promptly defected

🍆 (and 🍑) issues 🤭

A bit of naughty content 😁😆😏😏

When you saw a glimpse here, overheard a conversation there, still are uncertain of what is going on, but needed no further invitation to draw it 🤭

P.s. one of the things that never ceases to move me is that Kakashi is commonly referred to in the community as 🍆

Like, I mean… how awesome is that? 😁
