Why Am I…imagining This…?

Tumblr telling me I can give gifts to blogs I love as if I'm not right in the middle of reporting and blocking their bot ass like ajshatfav

While Minato and Itachi often have their skills blown way out of proportion, Kakashi has people, even fans of him and not only haters, who often think that he's some helpless depressed old man who can't do almost anything and will pass out in 0.7 seconds, and that he's weaker after losing the Sharingan

This is true and i kinda hate it.

Like i get it, he’s far from being the strongest in a world with broken powers.

But in the world of regular ass shinobi without god like powers or broken eyes? He’s top tier. Kakashi is one of the best regular shinobi, alongside A, Mei, Tsunade, Jiraiya, orochimaru, Hiruzen.

They’re all incredibly talented and people need to stop downgrading Kakashi abd making him look like this weak pathetic excuse of a shinobi.

oh right, technically i sell t-shirts

i forgot about that

Never forget Sasuke’s emo baby-romper outfit from the chūnin exams arc

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.

Tenzo. Kakashi's #1 fan girl.

Also facts, we all love Kakashi Sensei's cool demeanor 🥰

you already know what time it is

how to read porn in public non conspicuously

bonus:

You know, i can see why people would say Kakashi would lose a fight to Hashirama and Naruto. He would. They’re litterally god status shinobi

I think Minato and Tobirama are overrated but i’n tired of fighting with thise fans

But Hiruzen and Tsunade are Hokage’s who Kakashi is on par with. Stats wise Kakashi is between them (Hiruzen has 34, Kakashi 34.5 and Tsunade 35) meaning they’re all very close in skill. Tsunade obviously has her 100 healings which would make her incredably difficult to defeat obviously

But I think people are REALLY over hyping hiruzen. He’s known as the strongest of his generation and the professor but like… His biggest accomplishment is knowing a crap ton of jutsu’s

Which is obv impressive but Kakashi knows more

Both Kakashi and Hiruzen have all the elements mastered

Both of them are incredibly strong and talented shinobi known for being the strongest of their gen (with Kakashi’s friend actually being as strong as him and surpassing him by using the eighth gate while Hiruzen’s friend just stole Uchiha eyes and died a meaningless death but that doesn’t count towards them personally)

How does Kakashi keep getting religated to ‘weakest Hokage’ when Hiruzen and Tsunade are the same level of him, each with different skills
