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.
I've made an important discovery! Kakashi has been trolling all of the fandom.
Just like he covers most of himself and make us act like crazy virgins when we see even a little bit of his skin, he uses slightly baggy clothes sometimes so we can't pinpoint by a single glance if he has a good ass or not, or if he's ripped or not.
I've noticed Kakashi's clothes seem baggy from time to time, and I firmly believe it's because he has cero cares about what he wears and as long as it fits him and doesn't get in the way he's fine with it.
So him being ripped and with a great ass is completely canon (with many evidence, mind you) but just like with his mask and covered skin, he likes to leave it to others' people imagination like the Troll he is.
Thank you for your attention :)
Well, thank you for YOUR attention đâ¤ď¸
Answer is under the cut đ
Because I've always noticed that and thought that I was the only one because I've never seen anyone bringing it up but yeah, I always noticed that Kakashi's uniform looks a bit more baggy than everyone else and YES, WE HAVE SO MANY FRAMES AND PANELS SHOWING OFF THE FACT THAT KAKASHI IS ACTUALLY RIPPED AND HAS A GREAT BUTT!! Which the fandom likes to always pretend they don't exist for some reason, like we literally saw said butt with no clothes at all here
There's no more clear evidence than that!!. And since we're at it, here are my favorite Kakabooty frames

âFor some time, Hollywood has marketed family entertainment according to a two-pronged strategy, with cute stuff and kinetic motion for the kids and sly pop-cultural references and tame double entendres for mom and dad. Miyazaki has no interest in such trickery, or in the alternative method, most successfully deployed in Pixar features like Finding Nemo, Toy Story 3 and Inside/Out, of blending silliness with sentimentality.â
âMost films made for children are flashy adventure-comedies. Structurally and tonally, they feel almost exactly like blockbusters made for adults, scrubbed of any potentially offensive material. They arenât so much made for children as theyâre made to be not not for children. Itâs perhaps telling that the genre is generally called âFamily,â rather than âChildrenâs.â The films are designed to be pleasing to a broad, age-diverse audience, but theyâre not necessarily specially made for young minds.â
âMy Neighbor Totoro, on the other hand, is a genuine childrenâs film, attuned to child psychology. Satsuki and Mei move and speak like children: they run and romp, giggle and yell. The sibling dynamic is sensitively rendered: Satsuki is eager to impress her parents but sometimes succumbs to silliness, while Mei is Satsukiâs shadow and echo (with an independent streak). But perhaps most uniquely, My Neighbor Totoro follows childrenâs goals and concerns. Its protagonists arenât given a mission or a call to adventure - in the absence of a larger drama, they create their own, as children in stable environments do. They play.â
âConsider the sequence just before Mei first encounters Totoro. Satsuki has left for school, and Dad is working from home, so Mei dons a hat and a shoulder bag and tells her father that sheâs âoff to run some errandsâ - The film is hers for the next ten minutes, with very little dialogue. Sheâs seized by ideas, and then abandons them; her goals switch from moment to moment. First she wants to play âflower shopâ with her dad, but then she becomes distracted by a pool full of tadpoles. Then, of course, she needs a bucket to catch tadpoles in - but the bucket has a hole in it. And on it goes, but weâre never bored, because Mei is never bored.â
â[âŚ] You can only ride a ride so many times before the thrill wears off. But a child can never exhaust the possibilities of a park or a neighborhood or a forest, and Totoro exists in this mode. The film is made up of travel and transit and exploration, set against lush, evocative landscapes that seem to extend far beyond the frame. We enter the film driving along a dirt road past houses and rice paddies; we follow Mei as she clambers through a thicket and into the forest; we walk home from school with the girls, ducking into a shrine to take shelter from the rain; we run past endless green fields with Satsuki as she searches for Mei. The psychic center of Totoroâs world is an impossibly giant camphor tree covered in moss. The girls climb over it, bow to it as a forest-guardian, and at one point fly high above it, with the help of Totoro. Much like Totoro himself, the tree is enormous and initially intimidating, but ultimately a source of shelter and inspiration.â
âMy Neighbor Totoro has a story, but itâs the kind of story that a child might make up, or that a parent might tell as a bedtime story, prodded along by the refrain, âAnd then what happened?â This kind of whimsicality is actually baked into Miyazakiâs process: he begins animating his films before theyâre fully written. Totoro has chase scenes and fantastical creatures, but these are flights of fancy rooted in a familiar world. A big part of being a kid is watching and waiting, and Miyazaki understands this. When Mei catches a glimpse of a small Totoro running under her house, she crouches down and stares into the gap, waiting. Miyazaki holds on this image: we wait with her. Magical things happen, but most of life happens in between those thingsâand there is a kind of gentle magic, for a child, in seeing those in-betweens brought to life truthfully on screen.â

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.)
You gotta love that little sassy 4 year-old who have that huge effect on his feared by nations, marked as flee on sight in bingo books, stronger than the Legendary Sannin, legendary white fang dad.
Look at those little hands on his hips silently challenging his dad đ
