It´s here.
god i still love that sarutobi was just like "hey kakashi, guess what." *throws a shitstorm directly into his lap* "lmao good luck with that"
I just want to say something about Kakashi and the fact that he never lashes out against the system or tried to fix it himself.
Something i’ve seen him compared to is Gojo who states he ‘could kill all the higher ups’ but i think a lot of people forget that he also says ‘nothing would change’ (which is funny to me because i saw the manga shot once and remembered it and i don’t watch JJK)
There’s a few reason’s this doesn’t work for Kakashi
1) OG Kakashi couldn’t do that.
Kakashi in OG Naruto wasn’t on par with Hiruzen. He’d lose that fight. Yes he’s an assassine but Hiruzen is a Hokage level shinobi.
He’s not going to be snuck up on that easy and in a 1 vs 1 battle Og Kakashi is not winning. War arc or Hokage Kakashi might win, but not OG Kakashi. He still has a lot of growing to do in his skills.
2) as Gojo said, nothing would change
If Kakashi could and did kill Hiruzen, then what? Tsunade maybe gets convonced to take the job or Danzo gets it. Kakashi ends up a Rogue Ninja away from all his friends, painted as the bad guy for trying to in-force his beliefs over everyone?
Gai is on par with Kakashi. Maybe he could take the rest of Konoha but Gai, Jiraiya (if he’s there), Tsunade (if she’s there)
Like, they’d all probably turn on him and try to kill him. He wouldn’t be there hero. No one would be throwing him parties.
He’d be the bad guy in everyone’s eyes.
This man has lost so much that i think that would shatter him. He wouldn’t have any more will to fight ir change shit. His will to fight the system is already so broken even when we see him go against orders.
3) it doesn’t match Kakashi’s established ‘style’
Kakashi isn’t someone who does things alone. His main motto is teamwork.
If Kakashi were to go against the system and try to change it, he’d do it with his friends. He’d convince them that the system is broken (or maybe they realize themselves like Gai) and that they need to change it.
He’d probably avoid killing.
Kakashi was an assassine but as soon as he gained power he changed the law so instead of killing enemies shinobi were to capture them.
If Kakashi can think of a way to do things without killing, he will. Everyone has a different answer to changing things (Sasuke=kill everyone, Obito & madara= eternal dream, Nagato = making everyone else suffer). Kakashi’s answer is peaceful solution where there can be one.
4) that’s not the point of this story
Naruto wants to be Hokage. Do i think he should have changed and recognized the system? Yes. But that’s not how Kishi wrote it.
In Kishi’s story as we read it, anyone directly against the system is bad no matter what their solution. Zabuza is bad until he ‘changes his mind before death’, Obito is bad until he switches side, Sasuke is bad until Naruto ‘convinces him’)
Kishi would only write Kakashi lashing out directly against the system if he wanted to make Kakashi into a bad guy in his story. Since Kakashi is one of his good guys, he had him silently and slowly changing the system with his own actions and teachings.
Kishi simply didn’t write Kakashi being against the syatem in the same way the JJK author wrote Gojo being against the system because his world is very black and white. Good and bad. (Even though Gojo’s solution is the exact same as Kakashi’s).
Kakashi is a character i believe should have been more against the current system, demanding change because he has lost so much to that system. But that’s simply not the character Kishi wrote.

Kakashi, on a roof: bless you
Naruto: God?
i think i drew this as fast as i could lmao
A reminder that Kakashi outsmarted Itachi in their second fight and Itachi couldn't beat him anymore, since people in this fandom always loves to remember their 1st fight and absolutely ignore their 2nd one.
The Uchiha clan kept so many things about the Sharingan secret and those secrets died with them in the Uchiha massacre, he didn't know anything about the Mangekyo Sharingan, he didn't even know he had one himself or that each Mangekyo Sharingan had it's own special abilities and so he didn't know that rhis particular Genjutsu Itachi was using wasn't like the regular Sharingan Genjutsu, he didn't know that it's absolutely impossible for anyone to break Itachi's Tsukuyomi except if they are Itachi's blood relatives so the only person that existed in the world that would be able to do that was Sasuke and absolutely no one knew this except Itachi who stated this fact later.
Kakashi lost this fight because he was misinformed, because the had no one to tell him about the Mangekyo Sharingan and because Itachi spent 2 years being Kakashi's subordinate that he knew everything about him, his fighting style, the way he thinks and everything while Kakashi knew nothing about Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan... Kakashi had a great disadvantage here and this is why he lost but he learned from that and stood right back up and kicked ass.
It doesn't matter if you lost once or twice, what matters is that you won't drown in that loss and that you use it to learn and get better and stronger and that's what Kakashi did.
Kakashi isn't like those other ninja gods who were handed godly powers from thin air, he's one of the most realistic characters in Naruto, he stumbles and falls but refuses to stay down, he gets back up and learns from his mistakes and work harder and gets stronger and stronger as the story goes and we've all witnessed how his power level kept improving from the beginning of Naruto until the end... Kakashi in og Naruto who couldn't use more than 3 Chidori per day is different from Kakashi in early Shippuden who was still learning how to use Kamui, and both are different from Kakashi in mid Shippuden when was fighting Kakuzu and Hidan and was able to use Chidori a lot more than 3 times or the Kakashi in the Pain arc who literally died from using Kamui twice and all of them are different from Kakashi the powerhouse we saw in the war who was spamming Chidori and Kamui like it was nothing for 2 days straight without any rest and even before getting any chakra from Naruto and all of them pale in comparison to his powerlevel now after losing the Sharingan and after working and training so hard, learning and inventing countless of powerful Jutsu until he became much much stronger than he ever was.
It's so exhausting seeing your favorite character being constantly and unfairly downplayed all the time like this.
They don’t believe him.
Read clockwise! Happy birthday to Kakashi-sensei.
The princess is in another castle???!!!
