Me before watching Naruto: I bet I'm gonna get obsessed with kakashi or itachi bc im a stupid emo edgelord

Me 276 episodes into shippuden, laying on the floor crying: U don't understand. U don't UNDERSTAND. Iruka sensei is the only valid adult. This whole fucking story starts with him and his empathy and his kindness. And I love him so MUCH!!!!

#i dont see him for 20 eps and im like hm wonder when well wee my old pal iruka. hes a cool guy. i feel normal abt him #and then he shows up and im like. FUCK. im gonna throw up. how his he so !!!!! #and its so fucking frustrating bc like hes a genuinely good person but hes still fucking brainwashed by konoha #its like hes looking at the problems and reacting to them personally but he cant see how fucked the system is #hhhhhh iruka my beloved. sometimes when i run my internal monolog is just me ranting to myself abt how this minor character is like the #pivotal character of the series bc like its kinda true????? like he started the cycle of kindness with naruto and now naruto is gonna save #the world. or at least thsts what he supposed to do #but whatever. im normal. i feel very normal #but also i was kinda right abt my kakashi attachment but also i kinda project onto him too much which makes me want to kick him down the #stairs. u kno how it is. very normal #unrelated #naruto
