Lol, I think, since Kakashi is the last member of the Hatake clan, a genius and possessor of awesome genetics, the Konoha council has obviously very gently and very often hinted to him that Kakashi should have a family and children and revive the clan.
And one day Kakashi came to the meeting and said: maa, this is awkward, I'm sorry you weren't informed, but Obito and I are getting married this week.
Council, pointing finger at Obito (in the window), who stumbles at that exact moment, hits his nose on a pole and steps on the cat's tail: is he????
Obito, could you please forget Rin for a minute and think about how Kakashi goes to see your grave everyday bringing you flowers, and for years that is the first thing he does in the morning?
When I was a kid, my favorite characters in Naruto were Gaara, Sasori, and Naruto.
Now, after having read, finally, all the manga at 28, that drastically changed.
Now, without a doubt, my favorite characters are Obito and Kakashi, and the main reason is: they are human.
I'm not saying that the other characters of the story are not human, but they all have that indistinguishable "fantasy" layers on them.
But Obito and Kakashi? Their story, their motives, their emotions, their responses at the events of the main story, are so intrinsically human.
Probably what I'm writing make no sense, but Ill' try my best to explain, even if I have difficulty to write this in english.
This is my opinion, and naturally everyone has their take based on their own culture and their life.
When I say they are " intrinsically human", I mean that if someone else was in their place, they would have made their same choices and actions. Because, their response to a destabilizing and traumatic events (the third ninja war as child soldiers, Kannabi bridge, Rin's decision, and so on) it's different, but also understandable. Who could have act differently? No one can say with confidence and no hesitation how they would act in certain situations. I'm no therapist, but people have different reactions to traumatic events. We are not the same.
So, seeing how Obito and Kakashi had so conflicting reactions to the sames events, conflicting with their own childhood self even though you could see even then there was something, something that you could see and say "yes, this is only the point of the iceberg," because we are not the same as our child selves, but our child selves had something that made who we are today, and the "we" of today have something that it's a reminder of our child selves.
I, have so much more to add, but don't have the words in english to say it. I don't even know if what I wrote make any sense, it was something that I wanted to say because this two make me cry, and I hardly cry for fiction. But this two made my cry like I haven't cried for years, just because their story is so viscerally human and close to what I feel in general, that I don't even know anymore.
I was reading The sombre dogs of war and was on the part where kks was being chased , and i got so excited about how their encounter would turn out to be , that i ended up investing 40 minutes on drawing my extremely doodlictically rapid rough version of it, and the real thing turn out to be much more different than mine XD....
This fic is abandoned though ( im broke :( )but i really enjoyed it ,this part especially was THriLLinG
"But I..." starts Obito.
"Zip it," Kakashi wills Obito's mouth to shut. "Now go."
I love how the fandom has gotten excited about Kakashi edo-tenseing Obito! ❤️
While everybody's discussing the possible sick angst of it (and a bit of fun, too), my brain has supplied some outright crack..... I'm incorrigible xD
Thank you @malifiquemakes @hairybeardtongue @cool-thymus and @badninken for the new brainrot 🤭
You know, usually in time travel stories, one of the main protagonists goes back in time. Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, and so on. But what if it was a completely random shinobi? Maybe not even from Konoha?
It would be one of those tens of thousands of shinobi who witnessed Obito and Kakashi's drama in the war. And a couple years after the fourth shinobi war, he was in the past. His first thought was to kill Obito, but the Kannabi mission had already happened. But Minato and Rin are still alive. That's when he gets an idea.
Now imagine Kakashi's face when some dude comes up to him and tells him that his dead teammate is alive. And not only is he alive, but he's even very willing to be rescued. How does the man know that? Madara whispered in his ear.
“To be loved is to be changed” but instead of well worn and lovely I’m jagged and sharp. I’m ruined like a feral dog off its chain. I’m chasing after the scraps of myself with you at my heals, holding me far from who I used to be. I’m bloody and disgusting. Love has turned me into something dark and dangerous and evil, something consumed, something consumable.
