Some commentary that I had when translating the radio drama (I am very tempted to include them in the translation but worried that they can be a bother) :

[1:15] Aww Sakura and Naruto's tone when talking to Kakashi... Naruto said that he missed Kakashi 🥰🥰

[1:45] I don't think Naruto is the sole reason for Team 7's constant disastrous mission Kakashi, I mean he contributed greatly for being an MC but your luck plays a part too

[2:20] Not Kakashi applying Death of Author to Jiraiya for Icha-Icha 🤣

[2:35] Aww Naruto let your sensei ramble about his hyperfixation for longer...

[2:50] Sai tried to imitate Kakashi 😍

[3:20] Kakashi, not you giving your own diary chapter titles 😂 Actually your diary probably will sell out, since you are popular in both Naruto and the real world, and also your... turbulent life in general (in short I want one)

[4:20] Aren't you also forgetting something Naruto 😂

[4:30] Rare Kakashi explosive frustrated mode (expect more)

[5:05] I almost forgot how cute and bratty little Kakashi is 😍 (I WANT THAT DIARY NOW)

[5:45] "I have queued you know 😡" *died of cuteness* (I think I repeat that sequence like 5 times)

[5:45] I live for Team 7 discovering how bratty their sensei was as a kid

[6:07] You better let the boy eat before going to a mission in another country Minato, he hadn't eaten since dinnertime!

[7:50] A painful swelling on the head 🤣 Wonder how that happened right

[8:08] Frankly you sealed your fate there Kakashi, in front of Team 7 nonetheless

Sai Narration

[9:05] I am always impressed at Kakashi's constant worry about kids dealing with pointy stuff, especially since he himself is a kid who plays with pointy stuff way earlier than his peer

[9:15] Love Naruto and Kakashi's calm acceptance for Sai's antic, he already assimilated well into Team 7

[9:24] Asexual Kakashi moment

[9:53] Kakashi tsukkomi man (expect more)

[10:33] I forgot to put the context here, Urashima Taro is a fisherman rewarded for rescuing a sea turtle, and carried on its back to the Dragon Palace (Ryūgū-jō) beneath the sea. There, he is entertained by the princess Otohime as a reward. He spends what he believes to be several days with the princess. But when he returns to his home village, he discovers he has been gone for at least 100 years. When he opens the forbidden jewelled box (tamatebako), given to him by Otohime on his departure, he turns into an old man.

[10:41] Unintended Bullseye moment (expect more)

Sakura Narration

[11:26] Your "kyah!" is always so cute Kakashi

[11:50] It's canon that even ROOT ANBUs gossiped about Kakashi, but they did the Kakashi's face hunt too 😂

[11:56] Sponsored by the Hokage 🤣 Tsunade definitely can see Kakashi's face since she's a medic so she did that just to thrive on Kakashi's suffering 🤣

[12:33] Unexpected Bullseye moment pt.2

[12:40] The kids started to treat Kakashi's diary as a game, honestly what do you expect Kakashi 😂

[13:05] Honestly I can respect Sakura's effort to sprinkle some romance into Kakashi's bachelor life, but seeing Sai's narration too I think they collectively forgot how young Kakashi was at the time of that diary

[13:13] Asexual Kakashi moment pt.2

[13:30] Again, Sakura, guys, Kakashi was a kid

[13:45] Ignoring the fact that Team 7 forgot that it was a less than 12 years old kid whom they fantasized about getting a game, I appreciate Sai's (correct) comment on Kakashi's character that likely dug a hot spring in the desert rather than touching a defenseless woman inappropriately

[14:47] (justified) Asexual Kakashi moment pt.3

[15:00] Don't let Sakura's narration distract you from the fact that a man wrote the script ( although there's a reason for this narration tho...)

[15:14] Naruto, a woman can write smut AND defend woman's boundary from unconsented eyes

[15:20] Kakashi futilely reminded everyone that it was himself that those kids were crafting stories for (expect more) (honestly I almost forgot too sorry Kakashi-sensei..)

[15:45] Genjutsu Sakura moment (I expect more from canon but they disappoint me as usual)

[16:22] Troll Kakashi moment (expect more)

Naruto's narration

[16:38] Kakashi's -ttebayo 🤣

[17:06] Your diary has been hijacked long ago, Kakashi. Just accept it

[17:34] In a kinder world Naruto and Kakashi will be a good brothers duo 😭

[19:15] So Kakashi reads Jiraiya's other books but is not as hooked as Icha-Icha, he's truly a booktoker

[19:54] Naruto's MC power is too powerful 🤣

[20:46] Poor Teuchi-san, he didn't sign up for this kind of chaos 😂

[21:11] What is this awkwardness hiding, why don't you just enter Tenzo.. you are part of the team too

[21:32] Suddenly the atmosphere turns sad

[22:08] Rare Kakashi explosive frustrated mode pt.2

[22:33] Unintended Bullseye Moment Electric Boogaloo (minus the Queen's kiss)

[24:08] Honestly I don't care for any OOC rn, just enjoying Kakashi released more emotion than usual. Poor Yamato tho

[24:27] Multiple hits for one hit's revenge, Kakashi is like my older brother 😂

[26:06] It's you who was being praised by your father Naruto 😭

[26:41] 😭😭😭😭😭

"Naruto Fourth Movie : The Lost Tower" Radio Drama : Kakashi's Diary

Translation below (start from 0:36) :

Sound of paper flipping

Kakashi : Now… this…

Teuchi : Welcome!

Kakashi : Helloo!

Sakura : Huh?

Kakashi : Huh?

Naruto : Kakashi-sensei!

Kakashi : Long time no see you guys. Are you guys going to eat ramen together? It’s good that you get along so well as a team. Then, sorry to interrupt, I’ll leave first

Sakura : Really, Kakashi-sensei…

Naruto : What’s this sense of distance? Seriously, Kakashi-sensei is supposed to be the captain of our Team 7, but we haven’t been on many mission together recently. Like our last mission to track down Mukade Kakashi-sensei is not there, makes me lonely-ttebayo

Kakashi : Hahaha, happy to hear that. Well, I have entrusted you guys to my excellent junior Yamato’s care , so no worries…

Kakashi : *inner voice* Although I have been given solo missions recently, but it’s so relaxing. Ah.. the misson without Naruto is the best!

Naruto : Huh? Kakashi-sensei did you say something?

Kakashi : Ah, I didn’t say anything. Just the voice of my heart

Naruto : Well okay then. Huh? That book…

Kakashi : Ah, this…

Naruto : Don’t tell me, that’s the Pervy Sage’s writing, “Icha-Icha Paradise”? Although it’s such a boring book, but now that I think about it, it maybe also contains a message from my deceased master? In this case, shouldn’t I, as disciple, be the one holding it? Kakashi-sensei, give me that book, the whole series belongs to me!

Kakashi : No way, that’s absolutely not possible! Anyway, “Icha-Icha Paradise” is just for entertaintment. If you don’t separate the image of Jiraiya from the book when you read it, you can’t enjoy it completely. In the first place I think that book was conveyed by God through the hands of Jiraiya-sama! Can I talk about this topic for longer??

Naruto : N-no, stop it-ttebayo...

Kakashi : Besides, this book is not “Icha-Icha Paradise”!

Naruto : Eh? I-is that so?

Kakashi : This is… my diary.

Sakura : Wah..

Sai : As expected, Kakashi-san is a scholar, he even read his own diary. I should imitate it

Naruto : No, no, no, you shouldn’t imitate this. Reading a diary while eating ramen is too disgusting-ttebayo

Kakashi : There’s a reason why I’m like this.

Sakura : Reason? By the way Kakashi-sensei, that diary looks quite old..

Kakashi : Ah, this is a diary I have written everyday since I entered Ninja Academy. This is the twelfth volume of “Wind and Cloud” chapter, dated on the first day I became Chuunin. I found this when I was cleaning my room yesterday. After turning page after page, yeah I was so distracted by my nostalgic days that I forgot to clean up, extensively I read it till night. Well, I found out there’s only one day content in it that, I don’t know why, looks so vague.

Sakura : Vague?

Kakashi : Mm.. I only know that on this day and this month, I was assigned an important mission for the first time with Minato-sensei’s recommendation. But the details were not written. Also my own memory is also very vague, for some reason I simply can’t remember it.

Naruto : Wait, hold it! Is that Minato-sensei the Fourth Hokage?

Kakashi : Yeah, I was in Minato-sensei’s class, Minato-sensei was my master.

Naruto : Aah, Kakashi-sensei gaahh! That was clearly the first important mission with that Fourth Hokage, how can you forget it?! Unbelievable! Do dogeza (extensive kneeling down) to the Fourth Hokage’s face statue this instant-ttebayo!

Kakashi : I-I can’t refute it.. Nnnn-Even if you say so, I can’t do anything to something that was already forgotten!

Sakura : Haaate that Kakashi-sensei is start making excuses.

Kakashi : That’s why, I just came here to recall what happened on that blank day!

Sai : On the Ichiraku store?

Kakashi : Ah, this day’s diary started with Ichiraku Ramen store.

Teuchi : On that day and month, that’s the first time I released the result of my practice, Tonkotsu Miso Char Shiu Ramen.

Kakashi : Yeah, that’s right. That’s exactly what was written at the beginning of the page. [On this day and this month, I woke up early and ran into the long queue at Ichiraku Ramen store. How I look forward to this day coming. The so-called new ramen that Teuchi-san discovered through his ramen training, what kind of existence is it? I haven’t had dinner since yesterday, to completely prepare myself for this event. But when I arrived in line, there’s Gai, Asuma, and Shizune in front of me. That muscular idiot, nosy hag, and monkey’s idiot son, how can they possibly comprehend Teuchi-san’s masterpiece?]

Naruto : Geh… Can’t believe Kakashi-sensei had such a poisonous tongue..

Kakashi : [At that time, Minato-sensei came over and called me away. Eh, no way, seriously, Minato-sensei please read the room. Why do we need to perform the mission on this day? I have queuing up, you know? Ah, it’s so hard to have a nasty superior.]

Naruto : That’s cruel.. Even the Fourth Hokage was not spared..

Sakura : What’s an annoying little brat.

Kakashi : Ugh.. N-no, that’s, well it’s my diary, I think I can’t lie to maintain the reality of this diary.

Naruto : The impression is getting worse and worse-ttebayo.

Kakashi : Anyway! [On the time I was called away by Minato-sensei, he was together with Akimichi Choza-senpai and Aburame Shibi-senpai. Then we all started to go to my first important mission.]

Sakura : Choza-san is Chouji’s dad and Shibi-san is Shino’s dad, right?

Kakashi : That’s right.

Naruto : Waah… hey do you remember the mission’s content?

 Kakashi : Ah, if I remember correctly, it’s to capture a certain minister of Rouran, a city in the dessert of the Land of Sand.

Naruto : Speaking of Rouran, isn’t that where we went on our previous mission? There are nothing else but ruins.

Kakashi : At that time, Rouran had several towers built, it was a very prosperous place. My mission is to blow up an underground facility in Rouran using the paper bombs. The detonation was successful, but my memory after that is pretty vague. When I came back to my senses, I have already started my journey back to Konoha Village. That was obviously the first important mission with Minato-sensei, such an important memory, but I really can’t remember what happened! So in order to find clues, I came to the Ichiraku Ramen store that was mentioned in my diary.

Naruto : Hmm… is that so…

Sakura : But, if the Ichiraku was only mentioned before you got called away, there shouldn’t be any clues here

Kakashi : Hmm…

Sai : Is there nothing to remember in that vague memory?

Kakashi : That’s right… A smell of wood

Naruto, Sakura, Sai : Hm hm..

Kakashi : Kinda see shadowy something moving in the desert. Also, a face of a beautiful woman. And, that’s right! I don’t know why but there’s a swelling on my head, it felt very painful

Sai : I understand!

Naruto, Sakura : Heeh?

Sai : I know what that meant!

Kakashi : You know? As expected of Sai the ex-ROOT!

Sai : I read it on library.

Kakashi : What does that mean?

Sai : This is how it goes..

Sai’s Version

Sai : [My name is Hatake Kakashi. Today is my first important mission. We must make achievements, so that’s why teamwork is important. This is the first time I team up with Choza-san and Shibi-san, so I immediately gave those two people nicknames. Obviously Choza-san is ‘fatty’]

Kakashi : The protagonist has become you. Well, although Choza-san is indeed fat, but not to the extent of Chouji.

Sai : [Ah! There are turtles on the direction of that desert! The turtle was hit and abused with a stick by the bad kids.]

Naruto : I see! The turtle is ‘shadow moving in the desert’

Sakura : Then ‘the smell of wood’ is a stick?

 Sai : [Obviously I, who have Konoha’s Will of Fire inside me, used my kunai to chase away the bad kids, and saved the turtle.]

Kakashi : W-wait, isn’t to dangerous to use kunai? That will cause an incident.

Sai : [Then I was invited by the rescued turtle to the Dragon Palace.]

Naruto : Ah, there he went…

Kakashi : Dragon Palace in the middle of desert…

Sai : [In that place I, with the beautiful Otohime-sama, we spent days together like Icha-Icha Paradise.]

Kakashi : Ano… I don’t want you to use Icha-Icha Paradise for this kind of thing.

Sakura : I see, Otohime-sama is the beautiful woman, right?

Sai : [Happy time is always short. I remembered the mission, and decided to leave the Dragon Palace. Before going back, I received a jade box from Otohime-sama, and with that I came back to the desert.]

Sakura : Yes yes, after you opened it, smoke came out from the box, right?

Sai : [After the smoke dissipated, my hair turned completely white.]

Naruto : I see! That’s why Kakashi-sensei’s hair is like that-

Kakashi : It has been like that since the beginning!

Sai : [When I came back to my senses, the surrounding area has turned into desert.]

Kakashi : It was a desert since the beginning

Sai : [Then I was surrounded by bad kids with sticks! What a surprise, I turn into a turtle.]

Kakashi : Eh, why did I turn into turtle?

Sai : [I was poked and beaten with sticks by those bad kids, then got kicked. Because of that, there are swollen lumps all over my head.]

Naruto : Hm! Now all the keywords are complete.

Sai : [I craned my head for help from around. Then from the other side, myself from few days ago came to rescue me. The end]

Kakashi : Why did such a bizarre incident like Urashima Taro happen to me?

Naruto : Hmm, I don’t quite understand the last part

Sakura : Isn’t that the one? After opening the jade box, time and space retrogade ocurred, you went to the past time, and you met the past self?

Naruto : The so-called ‘Time-Slip!’

Kakashi : Yes yes, ‘slip’ indeed. By the way the original punchline is that “when I came back, decades of time have passed”.

Sai : I arranged the story a little bit according to the circumstances

Kakashi : Can you please not doing any irrelevant arrangement?

Sai : So is that wrong?

Sakura : Then… could this be what happened?

Sakura’s Version

Sakura : [My name is Hatake Kakashi. Today is my first important mission. I must make achievements. Even if it’s insignificant, I’ll work hard to get closer to Minato-sensei. While encouraging myself, I went to the desert. Kyah! What a huge sandstorm!]

Kakashi : What the heck is that “kyah!”

Sakura : [But sandstorm are nothing, because I wore my mask hehehehe]

Naruto : How do I say it, Kakashi-sensei’s mask is indeed very convenient, but it’s weird to wear a mask all the time, right? Hehe, I want to see Kakashi’s real face. That’s right! Sai, you’re an ex-ANBU ROOT, do you ever see Kakashi’s real face?

Sai : The ANBUs also spent a lot of effort to investigate, but all seem to have failed

Kakashi : Lady Tsunade please don’t spend our budget on this kind of ridiculous thing

Sakura : You guys, this is my turn to talk you know?

Kakashi : Ah, my bad, I’m sorry, ok. Then?

Sakura : Ehem! [After walking in the sandstorm for a while, I saw a shadow moving on the other side of the desert. When I looked closely, that shadow seems to be a human being.]

Naruto : A human, huh

Sakura : [When I approached it, I saw a beautiful woman with red hair. She seems to be the queen of Rouran.]

Kakashi : Hmm, it’s more likely than a turtle

Sai : I see, that’s awesome. Two keywords have been eliminated.

Kakashi : You see, this is not some kind of quizz game

Sakura : [The Queen seems to have lost consciousness. I will save the Queen. She wandered in the desert with her weak body. Her body was trembling, hugged me tightly. The Queen said, “I am cold, please warm me up.”]

Naruto : Ooh then what? Then what?

 Sakura : [In that moment I fell in love.] Kyaah! Hey Kakashi-sensei, is this a love story? This is truly my taste~

Kakashi : You came up with this yourself!

Sai : That makes us doki doki

Naruto : Mmm then? Then?! Sakura-chan, what happened next?

Sakura : [I don’t know how to give her warmth. Should I hug her tight to give her my warmth? I can’t do this kind of thing.] Kyaah! Kakashi-sensei you’re so pure!

Kakashi : Ano na, can you please stop fantasizing about me and getting to enthusiastic without my permission?

Naruto : Hmmm what did you do, Kakashi-sensei! How did you warmth the Queen?

Sakura : [Can’t be helped, I started digging around the desert, in search for hotspring]

Naruto : Eh, you are so spineless-ttebayo

Sai : But that does seem more in character of him

Kakashi : How is it possible that there are hot springs in the desert?

Sakura : [I dug out a hotspring.]

Kakashi : Eeehh? I actually dug it out…

Sakura : [Then I made hotspring bathtub from cypress for the Queen]

Sai : Cypress? Yosh, I understand. That’s the keyword for “the smell of wood”.

Naruto : That bathtub, does this feel like it’s started to go beyond the pure love route?

Sakura : [Across the steam of hot water, the Queen gradually took off her clothes and submerged herself into the water. That’s like the ancient text says, Mirage in The Dessert, dreamlike scene. Of course I can’t look directly at the scene. But I want to see! But I shouldn’t look. I want to see! I can’t look! Can’t, can’t can’t!] THAT'S RIGHT, KAKASHI SENSEI YOU CAN'T LOOK! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK!

Kakashi : Ow ow ow, Sakura please don’t hit me in the head!

Sai : I see, the swelling on the head is from him hitting his own head to calm his evil desire

Kakashi : Whose evil desire?!

Sakura : [At that time. The Queen’s voice came from the other side of the steam. “The temperature is just right, would you like to come in?” My heart was beating so fast till about to burst. Ah, this is the real Icha-Icha Paradise! I entered the hot spring as if I were bewitched by a demon]

Naruto : Somehow, this doesn’t seem like the usual Sakura.

Sai : Is that so?

Naruto : She made this kind of story but when I went to peek into the women’s bath, she yelled “Shannaroo!” and beat me up with Iron Fists

Kakashi : To remind you all, this is my diary

Sakura : [“Hey, what’s wrong? Please come closer to this side.” But I was too shy to get closer, I didn’t move even a step. “Waah, you are such a shy person” saying that The Queen came toward me instead. The Queen looked at me. “No way, you’re wearing a mask into hotspring.”]

Naruto : Ah!

Sai : I see!

Sakura : [“Take out your mask and let me see your true face. Hurry, hurry!”]

Sai : Sakura, you’re doing great!

Naruto : The target is Kakashi-sensei’s true face!

Sai : This was her plan from the beginning. This is the genjutsu called “Story-telling”

Sakura : [“Hurry!” So I put my hand on the mask as she said. Then…]

Kakashi : [I took off the mask. My true face is…]

Naruto : What is it like-ttebayo, Kakashi-sensei??

Kakashi : [This is what I look like..] But obviously I didn’t take it off!

Sakura : Umrrh what a shame, I was so close…

Kakashi : Your intention is all wrong!

Naruto : Hmm, So, so, how about this?

Kakashi : Haah??

Naruto’s Version

Naruto : [My name is Hatake Kakashi-dattebayo]

Kakashi : Already wrong from the start-ttebayo

Naruto : [Today is my first important mission, I must make a great achievement, so that I can become Hokage, and make people in the village recognize my strength!]

Kakashi : That’s your goal, isn’t it?

Naruto : [I will not going back from my ninja way! I don’t care whether there’s a turtle or a queen in the desert-ttebayo!]

Kakashi : So you’re gonna ignore them

Naruto : [Of course there’s a smell of wood-ttebayo. I am Konoha’s ninja, my wind attribute will make the fuel of my Will of Fire burn strong!]

Kakashi : Uh, but my attribute is Lightning element…

Sai : You seems to be in a good spirit, Naruto

Sakura : Do your best, Naruto!

Naruto : Ooh!

Kakashi : As I said, this is my diary

Naruto : [I go straight to the mission, to punish the evil minister. Enemies are swarming wherever I go, and I beat them all with the pure strength of my fists!]

Kakashi : Ah, so the swelling is actually on other people’s heads?

Naruto : [Of course it is-ttebayo! How could I get hit by those people? To support in behalf of the Fourth Hokage, I am willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!]

Kakashi : Ooh oh, I understand! I understand that feeling!

Naruto : [Ah! I heard a shout, then the Fourth Hokage must be in danger. In that case, I have to help the Fourth Hokage no matter what-ttebayo!]

Kakashi : Naruto, you tell it so well, I feel so too

Naruto : [I started running to find the Fourth Hokage, and I entered a dark alley. Then, on there a toad sat upright on the ground and looked up to me]

Sai : Toad is not among the keywords

Naruto : [Suddenly the toad turned around and jumped further “PYOON” toward the dark alley, I was driven by some premonition and chase the toad.]

Sakura : Ah! “Kakashi in Wonderland!”

Kakashi : Then it should be rabbit

Sai : But both rabbit and toad jump forward

Kakashi : Fine, whatever

Naruto : [While chasing the toad that went “PYOKOON”, there’s a tunnel ahead. In the dark tunnel, I can only rely on the “PYOKOON” jumping sound to run forward. Then, I alone was suddenly ambushed by a shinobi. While I chase the toad, somehow I was also being chased by the other.]

Kakashi : Oh, the theme has changed!

Naruto : [Finally I was caught up, and the shinobi who chased me said “How about you just give up? I’m almost tired of playing this deduction game”]

Kakashi : Hmm? This dialogue..

Naruto : [The pursuing shinobi aimed his kunai at me, “You better know the reality and give up”. But I used my Kage Bunshin to deceive the enemy, so instead the chasing shinobi was the one that getting cornered. “I will never give up, NEVER GIVE UP!”]

Sakura : Waah, so cool!

Kakashi : That’s a parody of Jiraiya-sama’s other masterpiece which I am not really interested on, “The Tale of Gutsy Ninja”!

Naruto : [Then the chasing shinobi said, “Even if you defeat me, the next assassin will be there, aah, they will mess with Kakashi-sensei’s memories, as long as I still live in Kakashi-sensei’s vague memory realm, you will never remember this..]

Kakashi : Then has this become a problem with the realm inside my head?

Sai : How academic..

Naruto : [Then I said, “Then I will definitely unlock that memory. If there are memories with the Fourth Hokage, I will hold it tightly! I will never give up!!”]

Kakashi : Who are you?

Naruto : [“MY NAME IS UZUMAKI NARUTO!!”]

Kakashi : That’s not me anymore!

Naruto : [When I came back to my senses, I was already chasing the toad again. Yes, the place it goes has my memories with the Fourth Hokage, for some reason I so sure about it! The Fourth Hokage exists in that place! Fourth Hokage!]

Kakashi : Woah, this has become your story…

Naruto : [I ran with all my might. While I was running, a prison suddenly appeared in front of me.]

*Beastly roar*

Naruto : [That’s… The fox-demon Kyuubi!]

Sakura : This is bad!

Kakashi : Now this has became a problem in a realm inside Naruto’s head

Naruto : [The fox-demon said, “if you want to see the Fourth Hokage so much, little boy, I will lend you my power”]

*Bubbling sound*

Naruto : [I… I am..!]

Sai : This is bad, Naruto has grown tails!

Sakura : All four...!

Kakashi : Why did my diary cause all of this…

Teuchi : Please stop going rampage inside my store!

*Beastly roar with Naruto*

Sakura : Naruto!

Yamato : Wood Style!

Sakura : Captain Yamato!

Kakashi : Oh Tenzou! I mean, Yamato

Yamato : Thank goodness, that’s so dangerous, Naruto. Fortunately I have been hiding behind the curtain and listening to everyone’s talking.

Sakura : Captain Yamato, you eavesdropped?

Yamato : Well yeah...

Naruto : Gaah! Aah… that was close, I was almost being taken over by that fox-demon bastard. Although I already swore not to borrow that guy’s power again

Sai : That shows how much you want to meet the Fourth Hokage

Naruto : You’re right-ttebayo! But I really envy Kakashi-sensei, you can go to missions with the Fourth Hokage, you also can be near him and receive his teaching. After all, the Fourth Hokage is someone that I admire so much

Kakashi : Naruto… Yeah, he’s also someone I admire forever. However, although it’s only a day, I managed to forget the memories with Minato-sensei…

Naruto : That’s right-ttebayo! While I’ve never even see the Fourth Hokage…

Kakashi : I am a failure as a student…

Yamato : Seriously, Kakashi-senpai, as your kohai I feel embarrassed for you

Kakashi : Wh-what do you say?! In that case, you should also think of something that can fill my forgotten memory!

Yamato : Why me..

Kakashi : Just hurry think of something! The explanation that I can accept!

Yamato : Uhmm this is troublesome… So how about I summarize the best parts of what everyone said?

Kakashi : The best parts?

Yamato : That’s right, I mean those keywords that Kakashi-senpai said. For example, about the shadow that moved in the desert, just as Sakura said, it was indeed a human being.

Sakura : Hm!

Yamato : The smell of wood comes from that person. In other words, that’s the smell of Wood Style, meaning the one who collapsed in the desert is me, Yamato.

Naruto : But how is Captain Yamato there?

Yamato : That was the idea that I took from Sai’s story, ‘time-slip’ occurred in Rouran.

Sai : I see…

Kakashi : Oh, then?

Yamato : I fell down and was saved by the kid Kakashi-senpai. Then after I heard what happened, it was like what Naruto said, I went to Rouran in order to go to the Fourth Hokage’s side.

Naruto : Oh, my idea is also used-ttebayo!

Kakashi : Hm hm, then what? Then what?

Yamato : Then I used Wood Release Ninjutsu to defeat the swarming enemies. But the little Kakashi-senpai who has yet got his Sharingan held me back, which made me unable to reach the Fourth Hokage quickly. I rescued Kakashi-senpai from crises many times, but little Kakashi-senpai was still so arrogant. The two of us finally reached the Fourth Hokage, saved them all from trouble, resolved the incident! I accept the Queen’s kiss! But because I was too angry with the bratty Kakashi-senpai, so I hit him in the head with my fist. How about that?

Kakashi : Ah! That’s it!

Naruto : Eeh??

Sai : Hm hm

Sakura : Is that so?!

Kakashi : Obviously that’s not possible!

Yamato : Ow!

Kakashi : Stop talking nonsense!

Yamato : We can only talk nonsense about this kind of thing, right?

Kakashi : Somehow that makes me mad. Nnnn-somehow, looking at you feel like a nasty memory has awaken! You did something to the kid me, aren’t you?

Yamato : I did nothing! Senpai also now talks nonsense!

Kakashi : Because of you! Ah, the tingling feeling in my head is back. Oi Yamato! Let me smack you in the head!

Yamato : *bonking ensues* W-wait, wait, why, why did you hit my head!

Kakashi : Revenge for that timee!

Yamato : What revenge?!

Kakashi : I don’t know! Aargh!

Naruto : Ah, ah, what are you guys doing?

Sakura : Really stop it both of you

Sai : Really immature

Kakashi : Although I don’t quite understand, by hitting Yamato’s head my vague memory feels resolved. Now it doesn’t matter if I can’t remember it.

Yamato : Huhu why this happen to me?

Teuchi : Speaking of which..

All : huh?

Teuchi : About two days after the event of new menu, the Fourth Hokage walked around then came to our store alone.

Kakashi : Heh? Minato-sensei did?

Naruto : Really? Do you have a signature? Doesn't that often happen with ramen shops?

Sakura : Naruto shut up!

Teuchi : He ate the new Tonkotsu Miso Char Shiu Ramen. Then he said this softly, “That mission was successful thanks to a certain boy.”

Kakashi : A certain boy?

Sakura : Of course that refers to Kakashi-sensei, right?

Sai : That’s probably it

Yamato : Well, since it’s Kakashi-senpai, that’s really possible

Kakashi : Heh? Really? I did it? I managed to show my skill in my first important mission, and then got praised by Minato-sensei. Hooray! I feel so happy! Haah, but how can I forget this important milestone of my life? I am really a failure…

Naruto : No, you are indeed awesome, Kakashi’sensei! You can be praised by that Fourth Hokage, really makes me envy, you, you..

Kakashi : Hehe, is that so? Then I will be prideful for a while~

Naruto : Haha, then let’s we eat the rest of ramen

Teuchi : Hoo, you also ate the Naruto roll at the very end

Naruto : Yeah, of course the most delicious food should be saved for last

Teuchi : The Fourth Hokage also had that habit

Naruto : Hehehe

"Naruto Fourth Movie : The Lost Tower" Radio Drama : Kakashi's Diary

Translation below (start from 0:36) :

Sound of paper flipping

Kakashi : Now… this…

Teuchi : Welcome!

Kakashi : Helloo!

Sakura : Huh?

Kakashi : Huh?

Naruto : Kakashi-sensei!

Kakashi : Long time no see you guys. Are you guys going to eat ramen together? It’s good that you get along so well as a team. Then, sorry to interrupt, I’ll leave first

Sakura : Really, Kakashi-sensei…

Naruto : What’s this sense of distance? Seriously, Kakashi-sensei is supposed to be the captain of our Team 7, but we haven’t been on many mission together recently. Like our last mission to track down Mukade Kakashi-sensei is not there, makes me lonely-ttebayo

Kakashi : Hahaha, happy to hear that. Well, I have entrusted you guys to my excellent junior Yamato’s care , so no worries…

Kakashi : *inner voice* Although I have been given solo missions recently, but it’s so relaxing. Ah.. the misson without Naruto is the best!

Naruto : Huh? Kakashi-sensei did you say something?

Kakashi : Ah, I didn’t say anything. Just the voice of my heart

Naruto : Well okay then. Huh? That book…

Kakashi : Ah, this…

Naruto : Don’t tell me, that’s the Pervy Sage’s writing, “Icha-Icha Paradise”? Although it’s such a boring book, but now that I think about it, it maybe also contains a message from my deceased master? In this case, shouldn’t I, as disciple, be the one holding it? Kakashi-sensei, give me that book, the whole series belongs to me!

Kakashi : No way, that’s absolutely not possible! Anyway, “Icha-Icha Paradise” is just for entertaintment. If you don’t separate the image of Jiraiya from the book when you read it, you can’t enjoy it completely. In the first place I think that book was conveyed by God through the hands of Jiraiya-sama! Can I talk about this topic for longer??

Naruto : N-no, stop it-ttebayo...

Kakashi : Besides, this book is not “Icha-Icha Paradise”!

Naruto : Eh? I-is that so?

Kakashi : This is… my diary.

Sakura : Wah..

Sai : As expected, Kakashi-san is a scholar, he even read his own diary. I should imitate it

Naruto : No, no, no, you shouldn’t imitate this. Reading a diary while eating ramen is too disgusting-ttebayo

Kakashi : There’s a reason why I’m like this.

Sakura : Reason? By the way Kakashi-sensei, that diary looks quite old..

Kakashi : Ah, this is a diary I have written everyday since I entered Ninja Academy. This is the twelfth volume of “Wind and Cloud” chapter, dated on the first day I became Chuunin. I found this when I was cleaning my room yesterday. After turning page after page, yeah I was so distracted by my nostalgic days that I forgot to clean up, extensively I read it till night. Well, I found out there’s only one day content in it that, I don’t know why, looks so vague.

Sakura : Vague?

Kakashi : Mm.. I only know that on this day and this month, I was assigned an important mission for the first time with Minato-sensei’s recommendation. But the details were not written. Also my own memory is also very vague, for some reason I simply can’t remember it.

Naruto : Wait, hold it! Is that Minato-sensei the Fourth Hokage?

Kakashi : Yeah, I was in Minato-sensei’s class, Minato-sensei was my master.

Naruto : Aah, Kakashi-sensei gaahh! That was clearly the first important mission with that Fourth Hokage, how can you forget it?! Unbelievable! Do dogeza (extensive kneeling down) to the Fourth Hokage’s face statue this instant-ttebayo!

Kakashi : I-I can’t refute it.. Nnnn-Even if you say so, I can’t do anything to something that was already forgotten!

Sakura : Haaate that Kakashi-sensei is start making excuses.

Kakashi : That’s why, I just came here to recall what happened on that blank day!

Sai : On the Ichiraku store?

Kakashi : Ah, this day’s diary started with Ichiraku Ramen store.

Teuchi : On that day and month, that’s the first time I released the result of my practice, Tonkotsu Miso Char Shiu Ramen.

Kakashi : Yeah, that’s right. That’s exactly what was written at the beginning of the page. [On this day and this month, I woke up early and ran into the long queue at Ichiraku Ramen store. How I look forward to this day coming. The so-called new ramen that Teuchi-san discovered through his ramen training, what kind of existence is it? I haven’t had dinner since yesterday, to completely prepare myself for this event. But when I arrived in line, there’s Gai, Asuma, and Shizune in front of me. That muscular idiot, nosy hag, and monkey’s idiot son, how can they possibly comprehend Teuchi-san’s masterpiece?]

Naruto : Geh… Can’t believe Kakashi-sensei had such a poisonous tongue..

Kakashi : [At that time, Minato-sensei came over and called me away. Eh, no way, seriously, Minato-sensei please read the room. Why do we need to perform the mission on this day? I have queuing up, you know? Ah, it’s so hard to have a nasty superior.]

Naruto : That’s cruel.. Even the Fourth Hokage was not spared..

Sakura : What’s an annoying little brat.

Kakashi : Ugh.. N-no, that’s, well it’s my diary, I think I can’t lie to maintain the reality of this diary.

Naruto : The impression is getting worse and worse-ttebayo.

Kakashi : Anyway! [On the time I was called away by Minato-sensei, he was together with Akimichi Choza-senpai and Aburame Shibi-senpai. Then we all started to go to my first important mission.]

Sakura : Choza-san is Chouji’s dad and Shibi-san is Shino’s dad, right?

Kakashi : That’s right.

Naruto : Waah… hey do you remember the mission’s content?

 Kakashi : Ah, if I remember correctly, it’s to capture a certain minister of Rouran, a city in the dessert of the Land of Sand.

Naruto : Speaking of Rouran, isn’t that where we went on our previous mission? There are nothing else but ruins.

Kakashi : At that time, Rouran had several towers built, it was a very prosperous place. My mission is to blow up an underground facility in Rouran using the paper bombs. The detonation was successful, but my memory after that is pretty vague. When I came back to my senses, I have already started my journey back to Konoha Village. That was obviously the first important mission with Minato-sensei, such an important memory, but I really can’t remember what happened! So in order to find clues, I came to the Ichiraku Ramen store that was mentioned in my diary.

Naruto : Hmm… is that so…

Sakura : But, if the Ichiraku was only mentioned before you got called away, there shouldn’t be any clues here

Kakashi : Hmm…

Sai : Is there nothing to remember in that vague memory?

Kakashi : That’s right… A smell of wood

Naruto, Sakura, Sai : Hm hm..

Kakashi : Kinda see shadowy something moving in the desert. Also, a face of a beautiful woman. And, that’s right! I don’t know why but there’s a swelling on my head, it felt very painful

Sai : I understand!

Naruto, Sakura : Heeh?

Sai : I know what that meant!

Kakashi : You know? As expected of Sai the ex-ROOT!

Sai : I read it on library.

Kakashi : What does that mean?

Sai : This is how it goes..

Sai’s Version

Sai : [My name is Hatake Kakashi. Today is my first important mission. We must make achievements, so that’s why teamwork is important. This is the first time I team up with Choza-san and Shibi-san, so I immediately gave those two people nicknames. Obviously Choza-san is ‘fatty’]

Kakashi : The protagonist has become you. Well, although Choza-san is indeed fat, but not to the extent of Chouji.

Sai : [Ah! There are turtles on the direction of that desert! The turtle was hit and abused with a stick by the bad kids.]

Naruto : I see! The turtle is ‘shadow moving in the desert’

Sakura : Then ‘the smell of wood’ is a stick?

 Sai : [Obviously I, who have Konoha’s Will of Fire inside me, used my kunai to chase away the bad kids, and saved the turtle.]

Kakashi : W-wait, isn’t to dangerous to use kunai? That will cause an incident.

Sai : [Then I was invited by the rescued turtle to the Dragon Palace.]

Naruto : Ah, there he went…

Kakashi : Dragon Palace in the middle of desert…

Sai : [In that place I, with the beautiful Otohime-sama, we spent days together like Icha-Icha Paradise.]

Kakashi : Ano… I don’t want you to use Icha-Icha Paradise for this kind of thing.

Sakura : I see, Otohime-sama is the beautiful woman, right?

Sai : [Happy time is always short. I remembered the mission, and decided to leave the Dragon Palace. Before going back, I received a jade box from Otohime-sama, and with that I came back to the desert.]

Sakura : Yes yes, after you opened it, smoke came out from the box, right?

Sai : [After the smoke dissipated, my hair turned completely white.]

Naruto : I see! That’s why Kakashi-sensei’s hair is like that-

Kakashi : It has been like that since the beginning!

Sai : [When I came back to my senses, the surrounding area has turned into desert.]

Kakashi : It was a desert since the beginning

Sai : [Then I was surrounded by bad kids with sticks! What a surprise, I turn into a turtle.]

Kakashi : Eh, why did I turn into turtle?

Sai : [I was poked and beaten with sticks by those bad kids, then got kicked. Because of that, there are swollen lumps all over my head.]

Naruto : Hm! Now all the keywords are complete.

Sai : [I craned my head for help from around. Then from the other side, myself from few days ago came to rescue me. The end]

Kakashi : Why did such a bizarre incident like Urashima Taro happen to me?

Naruto : Hmm, I don’t quite understand the last part

Sakura : Isn’t that the one? After opening the jade box, time and space retrogade ocurred, you went to the past time, and you met the past self?

Naruto : The so-called ‘Time-Slip!’

Kakashi : Yes yes, ‘slip’ indeed. By the way the original punchline is that “when I came back, decades of time have passed”.

Sai : I arranged the story a little bit according to the circumstances

Kakashi : Can you please not doing any irrelevant arrangement?

Sai : So is that wrong?

Sakura : Then… could this be what happened?

Sakura’s Version

Sakura : [My name is Hatake Kakashi. Today is my first important mission. I must make achievements. Even if it’s insignificant, I’ll work hard to get closer to Minato-sensei. While encouraging myself, I went to the desert. Kyah! What a huge sandstorm!]

Kakashi : What the heck is that “kyah!”

Sakura : [But sandstorm are nothing, because I wore my mask hehehehe]

Naruto : How do I say it, Kakashi-sensei’s mask is indeed very convenient, but it’s weird to wear a mask all the time, right? Hehe, I want to see Kakashi’s real face. That’s right! Sai, you’re an ex-ANBU ROOT, do you ever see Kakashi’s real face?

Sai : The ANBUs also spent a lot of effort to investigate, but all seem to have failed

Kakashi : Lady Tsunade please don’t spend our budget on this kind of ridiculous thing

Sakura : You guys, this is my turn to talk you know?

Kakashi : Ah, my bad, I’m sorry, ok. Then?

Sakura : Ehem! [After walking in the sandstorm for a while, I saw a shadow moving on the other side of the desert. When I looked closely, that shadow seems to be a human being.]

Naruto : A human, huh

Sakura : [When I approached it, I saw a beautiful woman with red hair. She seems to be the queen of Rouran.]

Kakashi : Hmm, it’s more likely than a turtle

Sai : I see, that’s awesome. Two keywords have been eliminated.

Kakashi : You see, this is not some kind of quizz game

Sakura : [The Queen seems to have lost consciousness. I will save the Queen. She wandered in the desert with her weak body. Her body was trembling, hugged me tightly. The Queen said, “I am cold, please warm me up.”]

Naruto : Ooh then what? Then what?

 Sakura : [In that moment I fell in love.] Kyaah! Hey Kakashi-sensei, is this a love story? This is truly my taste~

Kakashi : You came up with this yourself!

Sai : That makes us doki doki

Naruto : Mmm then? Then?! Sakura-chan, what happened next?

Sakura : [I don’t know how to give her warmth. Should I hug her tight to give her my warmth? I can’t do this kind of thing.] Kyaah! Kakashi-sensei you’re so pure!

Kakashi : Ano na, can you please stop fantasizing about me and getting to enthusiastic without my permission?

Naruto : Hmmm what did you do, Kakashi-sensei! How did you warmth the Queen?

Sakura : [Can’t be helped, I started digging around the desert, in search for hotspring]

Naruto : Eh, you are so spineless-ttebayo

Sai : But that does seem more in character of him

Kakashi : How is it possible that there are hot springs in the desert?

Sakura : [I dug out a hotspring.]

Kakashi : Eeehh? I actually dug it out…

Sakura : [Then I made hotspring bathtub from cypress for the Queen]

Sai : Cypress? Yosh, I understand. That’s the keyword for “the smell of wood”.

Naruto : That bathtub, does this feel like it’s started to go beyond the pure love route?

Sakura : [Across the steam of hot water, the Queen gradually took off her clothes and submerged herself into the water. That’s like the ancient text says, Mirage in The Dessert, dreamlike scene. Of course I can’t look directly at the scene. But I want to see! But I shouldn’t look. I want to see! I can’t look! Can’t, can’t can’t!] THAT'S RIGHT, KAKASHI SENSEI YOU CAN'T LOOK! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LOOK!

Kakashi : Ow ow ow, Sakura please don’t hit me in the head!

Sai : I see, the swelling on the head is from him hitting his own head to calm his evil desire

Kakashi : Whose evil desire?!

Sakura : [At that time. The Queen’s voice came from the other side of the steam. “The temperature is just right, would you like to come in?” My heart was beating so fast till about to burst. Ah, this is the real Icha-Icha Paradise! I entered the hot spring as if I were bewitched by a demon]

Naruto : Somehow, this doesn’t seem like the usual Sakura.

Sai : Is that so?

Naruto : She made this kind of story but when I went to peek into the women’s bath, she yelled “Shannaroo!” and beat me up with Iron Fists

Kakashi : To remind you all, this is my diary

Sakura : [“Hey, what’s wrong? Please come closer to this side.” But I was too shy to get closer, I didn’t move even a step. “Waah, you are such a shy person” saying that The Queen came toward me instead. The Queen looked at me. “No way, you’re wearing a mask into hotspring.”]

Naruto : Ah!

Sai : I see!

Sakura : [“Take out your mask and let me see your true face. Hurry, hurry!”]

Sai : Sakura, you’re doing great!

Naruto : The target is Kakashi-sensei’s true face!

Sai : This was her plan from the beginning. This is the genjutsu called “Story-telling”

Sakura : [“Hurry!” So I put my hand on the mask as she said. Then…]

Kakashi : [I took off the mask. My true face is…]

Naruto : What is it like-ttebayo, Kakashi-sensei??

Kakashi : [This is what I look like..] But obviously I didn’t take it off!

Sakura : Umrrh what a shame, I was so close…

Kakashi : Your intention is all wrong!

Naruto : Hmm, So, so, how about this?

Kakashi : Haah??

Naruto’s Version

Naruto : [My name is Hatake Kakashi-dattebayo]

Kakashi : Already wrong from the start-ttebayo

Naruto : [Today is my first important mission, I must make a great achievement, so that I can become Hokage, and make people in the village recognize my strength!]

Kakashi : That’s your goal, isn’t it?

Naruto : [I will not going back from my ninja way! I don’t care whether there’s a turtle or a queen in the desert-ttebayo!]

Kakashi : So you’re gonna ignore them

Naruto : [Of course there’s a smell of wood-ttebayo. I am Konoha’s ninja, my wind attribute will make the fuel of my Will of Fire burn strong!]

Kakashi : Uh, but my attribute is Lightning element…

Sai : You seems to be in a good spirit, Naruto

Sakura : Do your best, Naruto!

Naruto : Ooh!

Kakashi : As I said, this is my diary

Naruto : [I go straight to the mission, to punish the evil minister. Enemies are swarming wherever I go, and I beat them all with the pure strength of my fists!]

Kakashi : Ah, so the swelling is actually on other people’s heads?

Naruto : [Of course it is-ttebayo! How could I get hit by those people? To support in behalf of the Fourth Hokage, I am willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!]

Kakashi : Ooh oh, I understand! I understand that feeling!

Naruto : [Ah! I heard a shout, then the Fourth Hokage must be in danger. In that case, I have to help the Fourth Hokage no matter what-ttebayo!]

Kakashi : Naruto, you tell it so well, I feel so too

Naruto : [I started running to find the Fourth Hokage, and I entered a dark alley. Then, on there a toad sat upright on the ground and looked up to me]

Sai : Toad is not among the keywords

Naruto : [Suddenly the toad turned around and jumped further “PYOON” toward the dark alley, I was driven by some premonition and chase the toad.]

Sakura : Ah! “Kakashi in Wonderland!”

Kakashi : Then it should be rabbit

Sai : But both rabbit and toad jump forward

Kakashi : Fine, whatever

Naruto : [While chasing the toad that went “PYOKOON”, there’s a tunnel ahead. In the dark tunnel, I can only rely on the “PYOKOON” jumping sound to run forward. Then, I alone was suddenly ambushed by a shinobi. While I chase the toad, somehow I was also being chased by the other.]

Kakashi : Oh, the theme has changed!

Naruto : [Finally I was caught up, and the shinobi who chased me said “How about you just give up? I’m almost tired of playing this deduction game”]

Kakashi : Hmm? This dialogue..

Naruto : [The pursuing shinobi aimed his kunai at me, “You better know the reality and give up”. But I used my Kage Bunshin to deceive the enemy, so instead the chasing shinobi was the one that getting cornered. “I will never give up, NEVER GIVE UP!”]

Sakura : Waah, so cool!

Kakashi : That’s a parody of Jiraiya-sama’s other masterpiece which I am not really interested on, “The Tale of Gutsy Ninja”!

Naruto : [Then the chasing shinobi said, “Even if you defeat me, the next assassin will be there, aah, they will mess with Kakashi-sensei’s memories, as long as I still live in Kakashi-sensei’s vague memory realm, you will never remember this..]

Kakashi : Then has this become a problem with the realm inside my head?

Sai : How academic..

Naruto : [Then I said, “Then I will definitely unlock that memory. If there are memories with the Fourth Hokage, I will hold it tightly! I will never give up!!”]

Kakashi : Who are you?

Naruto : [“MY NAME IS UZUMAKI NARUTO!!”]

Kakashi : That’s not me anymore!

Naruto : [When I came back to my senses, I was already chasing the toad again. Yes, the place it goes has my memories with the Fourth Hokage, for some reason I so sure about it! The Fourth Hokage exists in that place! Fourth Hokage!]

Kakashi : Woah, this has become your story…

Naruto : [I ran with all my might. While I was running, a prison suddenly appeared in front of me.]

*Beastly roar*

Naruto : [That’s… The fox-demon Kyuubi!]

Sakura : This is bad!

Kakashi : Now this has became a problem in a realm inside Naruto’s head

Naruto : [The fox-demon said, “if you want to see the Fourth Hokage so much, little boy, I will lend you my power”]

*Bubbling sound*

Naruto : [I… I am..!]

Sai : This is bad, Naruto has grown tails!

Sakura : All four...!

Kakashi : Why did my diary cause all of this…

Teuchi : Please stop going rampage inside my store!

*Beastly roar with Naruto*

Sakura : Naruto!

Yamato : Wood Style!

Sakura : Captain Yamato!

Kakashi : Oh Tenzou! I mean, Yamato

Yamato : Thank goodness, that’s so dangerous, Naruto. Fortunately I have been hiding behind the curtain and listening to everyone’s talking.

Sakura : Captain Yamato, you eavesdropped?

Yamato : Well yeah...

Naruto : Gaah! Aah… that was close, I was almost being taken over by that fox-demon bastard. Although I already swore not to borrow that guy’s power again

Sai : That shows how much you want to meet the Fourth Hokage

Naruto : You’re right-ttebayo! But I really envy Kakashi-sensei, you can go to missions with the Fourth Hokage, you also can be near him and receive his teaching. After all, the Fourth Hokage is someone that I admire so much

Kakashi : Naruto… Yeah, he’s also someone I admire forever. However, although it’s only a day, I managed to forget the memories with Minato-sensei…

Naruto : That’s right-ttebayo! While I’ve never even see the Fourth Hokage…

Kakashi : I am a failure as a student…

Yamato : Seriously, Kakashi-senpai, as your kohai I feel embarrassed for you

Kakashi : Wh-what do you say?! In that case, you should also think of something that can fill my forgotten memory!

Yamato : Why me..

Kakashi : Just hurry think of something! The explanation that I can accept!

Yamato : Uhmm this is troublesome… So how about I summarize the best parts of what everyone said?

Kakashi : The best parts?

Yamato : That’s right, I mean those keywords that Kakashi-senpai said. For example, about the shadow that moved in the desert, just as Sakura said, it was indeed a human being.

Sakura : Hm!

Yamato : The smell of wood comes from that person. In other words, that’s the smell of Wood Style, meaning the one who collapsed in the desert is me, Yamato.

Naruto : But how is Captain Yamato there?

Yamato : That was the idea that I took from Sai’s story, ‘time-slip’ occurred in Rouran.

Sai : I see…

Kakashi : Oh, then?

Yamato : I fell down and was saved by the kid Kakashi-senpai. Then after I heard what happened, it was like what Naruto said, I went to Rouran in order to go to the Fourth Hokage’s side.

Naruto : Oh, my idea is also used-ttebayo!

Kakashi : Hm hm, then what? Then what?

Yamato : Then I used Wood Release Ninjutsu to defeat the swarming enemies. But the little Kakashi-senpai who has yet got his Sharingan held me back, which made me unable to reach the Fourth Hokage quickly. I rescued Kakashi-senpai from crises many times, but little Kakashi-senpai was still so arrogant. The two of us finally reached the Fourth Hokage, saved them all from trouble, resolved the incident! I accept the Queen’s kiss! But because I was too angry with the bratty Kakashi-senpai, so I hit him in the head with my fist. How about that?

Kakashi : Ah! That’s it!

Naruto : Eeh??

Sai : Hm hm

Sakura : Is that so?!

Kakashi : Obviously that’s not possible!

Yamato : Ow!

Kakashi : Stop talking nonsense!

Yamato : We can only talk nonsense about this kind of thing, right?

Kakashi : Somehow that makes me mad. Nnnn-somehow, looking at you feel like a nasty memory has awaken! You did something to the kid me, aren’t you?

Yamato : I did nothing! Senpai also now talks nonsense!

Kakashi : Because of you! Ah, the tingling feeling in my head is back. Oi Yamato! Let me smack you in the head!

Yamato : *bonking ensues* W-wait, wait, why, why did you hit my head!

Kakashi : Revenge for that timee!

Yamato : What revenge?!

Kakashi : I don’t know! Aargh!

Naruto : Ah, ah, what are you guys doing?

Sakura : Really stop it both of you

Sai : Really immature

Kakashi : Although I don’t quite understand, by hitting Yamato’s head my vague memory feels resolved. Now it doesn’t matter if I can’t remember it.

Yamato : Huhu why this happen to me?

Teuchi : Speaking of which..

All : huh?

Teuchi : About two days after the event of new menu, the Fourth Hokage walked around then came to our store alone.

Kakashi : Heh? Minato-sensei did?

Naruto : Really? Do you have a signature? Doesn't that often happen with ramen shops?

Sakura : Naruto shut up!

Teuchi : He ate the new Tonkotsu Miso Char Shiu Ramen. Then he said this softly, “That mission was successful thanks to a certain boy.”

Kakashi : A certain boy?

Sakura : Of course that refers to Kakashi-sensei, right?

Sai : That’s probably it

Yamato : Well, since it’s Kakashi-senpai, that’s really possible

Kakashi : Heh? Really? I did it? I managed to show my skill in my first important mission, and then got praised by Minato-sensei. Hooray! I feel so happy! Haah, but how can I forget this important milestone of my life? I am really a failure…

Naruto : No, you are indeed awesome, Kakashi’sensei! You can be praised by that Fourth Hokage, really makes me envy, you, you..

Kakashi : Hehe, is that so? Then I will be prideful for a while~

Naruto : Haha, then let’s we eat the rest of ramen

Teuchi : Hoo, you also ate the Naruto roll at the very end

Naruto : Yeah, of course the most delicious food should be saved for last

Teuchi : The Fourth Hokage also had that habit

Naruto : Hehehe

from baby to sensei

[huskymaine]

Someone who's good at drawing PLEASE draw Kakashi wearing this hat 🙏

[huskymaine]

[huskymaine]

Kakashi and Naruto's relationship is truly so precious 😍😍

[huskymaine]

Just a cute reminder from Rock Lee & his ninja pals that one of Kakashi's greatest fears is... a matchmaker

[huskymaine]

Ooh this is good! Pardon my intrusion but I can immediately imagine their conversation in my head

ANBU Kakashi : Maybe I better just surrender to them....

Jounin Kakashi : But you won't, because we still have a job to watch over the future

Kid Kakashi : can we finally manage to beat them?

Hokage Kakashi : Of course we do, in the future we are happy and at peace don't you worry

(the hands below imo symbolized his depression)

Kakashi and Sasuke fic Idea

Just wanting to share my very elaborate prompt that I think overnight before real life catches me and I forget about them.

The premise : because of Minato's seals/Orochimaru's shenanigans both Kakashi and Sasuke got blasted with a jutsu that made their past selves appear.

Kakashi's selves = Kid Kakashi pre-Sakumo's suicide - Chuunin Kakashi - ANBU Kakashi - Jounin Kakashi - Hokage Kakashi

Sasuke's selves = Kid Sasuke pre-Massacre - Genin Sasuke - Hebi Sasuke - Taka Sasuke - Blank Period Sasuke

Still have no idea about the plot, just their interaction :

Kid Sasuke and Kid Kakashi :

Kid Sasuke is more reserved than kid Kakashi and kid Kakashi while often being bold is not the type to make friend first so at first I think they will quietly sit while internally freak out on seeing their scary and messy future selves

Yamato makes shuriken-throwing arena for them to play and they see how the other are very good and start to compete

Many bullseyes later they move to sparring. Kid Sasuke acknowledges that Kid Kakashi is a genius but still pales in comparison to his best brother Itachi while Kid Kakashi acknowledges that Kid Sasuke is a genius but he AND his brother are still no better than his best father Sakumo.

Getting stirred up, they start to use ninjutsu. Kid Sasuke uses Fireball and Kid Kakashi uses Mud Wall to counter that but suddenly Kid Sasuke cancels his Fireball. Kid Kakashi asks why and Kid Sasuke answers that in Kid Kakashi's Mud Wall there's a dog and Kid Sasuke doesn't want to hurt it

Kid Kakashi reassures Kid Sasuke that the dog is just a sculpt based on real dogs in his home. Kid Kakashi starts to talk about his father's dogs and his future summon dogs while Kid Sasuke starts to talk about cats in Sora-ku and his game from Itachi to get their paw prints. They get into heated debates about which is better, cats or dogs

Someone (Yamato or Naruto or Sakura) brings them to pet shop then both Kid Kakashi and Kid Sasuke collectively agree that cats and dogs are all good and fluffy

Even though they have good time and everyone is so nice except their own future versions, they actually kinda feel afraid and don't like to be thrown into a world so unfamiliar to them. But both Kakashi and Sasuke absolutely believe that soon Sakumo and Itachi will pick them up and bring them home, preferably on piggy-back ride. So they conceal their distress, determined to be good boys and patiently wait for their most loved ones' appearance. No one dares to ruin it for them.

Genin Sasuke and Chuunin Kakashi :

HATE their naive kid version, wanting to jump on them when the (younger kids) start to discuss how Itachi and Sakumo are the best humans ever if not for Hokage Kakashi and Blank Period Sasuke's interference.

Genin Sasuke expresses envy that someone same age/younger than him is Chuunin already while Chuunin Kakashi remarked that Genin Sasuke is better than a stupid Uchiha he knows a.k.a Obito so he should be Chuunin already, that Konoha's new rule to disallow early graduate is stupid and he is glad that he's born earlier than Sasuke so he never experienced that rule.

Genin Sasuke (in tsundere mode) complained despite his age, Chuunin Kakashi is more reserved than his loud teammates and started to talk about them, Chuunin Kakashi said that Genin Sasuke's inferior teammates held him back (to be fair Chuunin Kakashi doesn't understand nuance and thought that Genin Sasuke's very-not-flattery description is Sasuke's true feeling) and he should dismiss/ignore them. Genin Sasuke actually gets offended and defends Naruto and Sakura.

Chuunin Kakashi reluctantly apologizes for his harsh words but then he says that if Sasuke wants to completely focus on his mission, he should not get attached too much to his teammates because there's the possibility that he must sacrifice them. Genin Sasuke does not like that and says that he gets stronger because he doesn't want any of his precious people to get hurt ever again.

Genin Sasuke also says that Kakashi a.k.a his Jounin Sensei is the one who most wants him to treasure his teammates and never abandon them. Genin Sasuke says the famous “In the ninja world, those who don't follow the rules are trash. But, those who abandon their friends are even worse than trash” quote and Chuunin Kakashi gets completely flabbergasted on why the hell his future self says something like that. But then he also remembers Obito and Rin and (denies to) kinda miss them.

Both Genin Sasuke and Chuunin Kakashi feel kindling spirit and logically want each other as teammates so they can train and improve better but in their hearts they can feel that teaming with someone so coldly similar and not bright personality like Naruto/Sakura and Obito/Rin will make them less happy

I also imagine that Chuunin Kakashi is in the middle of developing Chidori and Genin Sasuke is in the middle of learning Chidori so they can talk about their half-finished Chidori (I have no idea how to handle curse mark stuff tho)

Hebi Sasuke and ANBU Kakashi

Hebi Sasuke is VERY ANNOYED to suddenly be back in Konoha when he had important stuff to do (in the middle of the recruiting team) and ANBU Kakashi is more bothered by the fact that his future self becomes Hokage and not, like, died soon.

Hebi Sasuke tries to escape and ANBU Kakashi is one of people who tries to stop him. Hebi Sasuke sneers that ANBU Kakashi butts in on a matter that doesn't concern him while his future version is not bothered to join Team 7 on Tenchi Bridge mission. ANBU Kakashi agrees that Hebi Sasuke's matters are not his concern but his job at ANBU is to stop and eliminate nukenin like Hebi Sasuke.

Hebi Sasuke (denies) feeling a little bit upset that a Kakashi sees him with such cold eyes and lethal intent but convinces himself that if Kakashi tries to kill Sasuke, Sasuke can and is willing to kill Kakashi, despite his non-lethal policy and overall (denied) unwillingness to seriously kill his teammates

ANBU Kakashi sees Hebi Sasuke's Chidori and asks if his future version taught him that. Hebi Sasuke confirmed it but also said that he shouldn't take too much credit because his version is superior and listing all the things he did with Chidori post-leaving Konoha. When ANBU Kakashi hears that Sasuke used Chidori to ram Naruto's chest a.k.a Sasuke's teammate a.k.a Minato's son he lets out a self-depressing laugh that makes even Hebi Sasuke concerned

ANBU Kakashi actually doesn't object to Hebi Sasuke's decision to leave Team 7, but on the premise that Hebi Sasuke is dangerous and full of darkness (on Kakashi's perception) so his decision to isolate himself and throw his life for his mission is correct

"It's okay for you to give your life on your revenge mission, but you should die alone" at this point Hokage Kakashi and Blank Period Sasuke choose to separate them.

Or maybe this ANBU Kakashi already has Itachi on his team so he feels disbelief but also responsible?

All angsty scenario aside, ANBU Kakashi is impressed with Kirin actually

Taka Sasuke and Jounin Kakashi

No one has a good time in this segment. Taka Sasuke tries to kill Jounin Kakashi for "stealing" Uchiha's eye, Hokage Kakashi because, well, he's Hokage, AND Hebi Sasuke because Taka Sasuke has a very deep self-loathing

Blank Period Sasuke has full authority to subdue Taka Sasuke and I think they will have a talk about their perception of Uchiha, Itachi, dan Konoha

Hokage Kakashi contemplates letting Taka Sasuke kill Homura and Koharu to pacify him (I am not hardcore anti-Konoha but I really don't like the fact that they are still alive on Boruto)

Jounin Kakashi's last memory of Sasuke is him teaching Chidori so he's understandably unprepared to receive Sasuke's hate. When he learns about Uchiha Massacre I think he will be surprised and feel sad for Itachi but not really shocked

Jounin Kakashi contemplates telling Taka Sasuke about how he received his Sharingan but he wonders whether he will make things worse. Plus he very very doesn't want to do that, or overall idea to tell anyone about his past experience. Blank Period Sasuke sighs at this, thinking that more openings from an adult in his life will greatly help him, but understands why Jounin Kakashi is like that

Jounin Kakashi asks Hokage Kakashi how much he will fail from that point on, why the fuck he became Hokage, and what happened to Obito's eye while Hokage Kakashi can just reassure him that everything will be better in the end

I think there will be very little interaction between Taka Sasuke and Jounin Kakashi because interaction between a misunderstood teen and a closed-off adult is bound to be disaster, so with them there will be more of their interaction with their (weirdly peaceful) future selves.

Hokage Kakashi and Blank Period Sasuke

Their messy past selves manifest in their era so they start to ponder what deity they offend for that, and their overall misfortune in their whole lives

I think they will look at their innocent kid versions and feel weird yet soft and mournful

Hokage Kakashi (and Team 7) sees like 80% of Sasuke's versions so Sasuke has little qualms about Kakashi (and everyone) seeing his multiple versions, but Kakashi's multiple versions are 70% carefully hidden by him so the fact that all of them are exist for everyone to see made Hokage Kakashi lowkey horrified and little ashamed.

I planned on more interaction between each versions like Hebi Sasuke with Chuunin Kakashi or Taka Kakashi with ANBU Kakashi but overall those are ones that I can imagine clearly in my head.

[huskymaine]

I think in a way this is their first (semi) meeting, on their ninja school entrance ceremony.

Gai's little side-eye is so cute, looks like the first impression didn't go too well XD Also based on his body language I think Kakashi knew Obito beforehand?

Then I assume that in their academy era, they got chummy enough to greet each other, particularly Gai with his cheerful trademark.

Heaven knows what happened after they became genin but after they got assigned into teams Gai seemed to solely focus on Kakashi despite being on a different team while Obito saw Gai as intruder.

And apparently at some point Gai got all forgot about Obito?

But Gai is not the only one who commits that sin here like Obito in your perfect world do you have memory issue because of the boulder? Where's Gai? Iruka is not your classmate! you killed his parents btw

Also I think Obito had some petty beef with Gai because why you opted to take him out first before 2 Jinchuurikis and "Rin's killer"?

So looks like when Kakashi existed between Obito and Gai they greeted, they chatted, but when Kakashi was out of picture it was as if they had erased each other's presence from their world. I think even in their childhood those two emulate this meme.

Now I understand so much why lil Kakashi felt so tired around them. Kakashi is an introvert by nature and introvert's biggest nightmare is not only the idea of them around loud people. But especially being THE BUFFER.

I love them, they are so silly ahahah

We should talk more about the relationship between Kakashi, Obito, and Gai

They did? I unfortunately once stumbled upon a Kakashi hater who said that he's "constantly crying for middle-school melodrama" but I don't know that haters also bashed him for... not crying with his own eye? I mean, there's no way people REALLY think that Kakashi doesn't feel sad about Rin's death?

Studio Pierrot really disappoints me in many points, such as making Kakashi cry only for Obito's Sharingan when Rin killed herself.

"Ah, but that's silly! A simple detail doesn't change anything."

Yes, maybe it doesn't change much visually, but it takes a lot of the weight off the scene. The context is where Rin takes her own life at the hands of the man she loves, removing Kakashi crying out of both eyes (exploding his emotions, which he has already shown to struggle with) is basically erasing the development he had! It's acting like he doesn't care about Rin...

[huskymaine]

Okay, this is long and since English is like my third language I am not sure if I can cover all my points, but here we go : 

from the video above genin children working adult’s job weird era of peace, no age limit

I don’t know how that video above shows genin children working adult’s job because in that video only adults who works and no matter how talented Boruto is, he can’t graduate from Academy yet before 12-13, unlike Itachi and Kakashi in the past.

so that video means nothing as it expected after so much loss people would switch to different way of life style when you can not maintain your shinobi lifestyle similar to japan after ww2 but yet we don’t know what kind of laws and regulation and age limits hokage placed on like they used to do in shinobi rank.

That video is a mere observation of current worldbuilding, to show that their world is changing post-war. The post explicitly shows the difference between new era and old era and how kids on new gen is infinitely safer than kids on Naruto’s era and Kakashi’s era, I don’t see how acknowledge that means that the video means nothing? We don’t need the franchise to bare their constitution or other complicated politics, Naruto and Boruto are after all shounen shows with kids as their demographic intended audience.

academy students don’t have to be a ninja its natural because most of the skilled fighting shinobi died there are no one to entrust like iruka did to naruto and feudal lords investing more on other sources as lack of old skilled shinobis in the village from recent novel naruto retsuden, but what about age limit for these courses, as we know ninjutsu can be dangerous, only chakra or ninshu are harmless

You seem to have assumption that age limit doesn’t exist on new era, then why Himawari hasn’t been a ranked shinobi on latest chapter even though she already unlocked Byakugan on The Day Naruto Became Hokage? In Itachi and Kakashi’s era Himawari would definitely be pressured to be shinobi. But in current era she doesn’t, nor her friends.

you said about academy student but what about some very skilled shinobi especially in adult age can they gave up being ninja suddenly or will be punished we don’t know, never showed deeply, in what term they can quit being a ninja, there can be exception, we know hokage has the ultimate authority, he can decline anyone’s request, so no fair or legal rights for them has shown and can they leave the village permanently?

In the video, many adults quit being shinobi and use their ninjutsu to be firefighter or mailman or even actor. “Punished” “term” “exception”, maybe they don’t show them because they don’t exist? Sasuke is currently away from village for a long time and the Hokage Naruto is fine with just seldom sporadic hawks message. Kakashi and Gai are were in the hot spring and Kakashi told the Hokage to not call him because he was resting. Even on Sarutobi’s era Tsunade can dip out for good and there’s no ‘punishment’, ‘term’, etc, only Jiraiya hunter her because Konoha was in crisis after Orochimaru’s invasion and he didn’t want to be Hokage.

former ninja can be mean who used to fight in war, as i said most ninja population died, no wars no mission no profit so they switch to different professions even in dark era many used to do non shinobi works, it’s not a big deal, i don’t understand why do they even need shinobi culture, it should have been banned creates police and especial military for inside use who will not be stationed in only konoha but in whole land of fire and border police and especial ninjutsu fighter to counter aliens, this is why all shinobi villages should turn into like hot spring village named yugakure

Wait, I don’t understand, what shinobi culture does they maintain? Ninjutsu are no longer used for killing. Chuunin exam is now just a friendly match between countries with more secure land and equipment (except from aliens). You want all villages to be hot spring?

ninjutsu usage is not the problem here because dark times they used to do so but it did not generate much profit for which they can not sustain shinobi lifestyle now that they are less shinobi and you hashirama cells like many miracles its easy for one person to use without many shinobi, what kind of law regarding it, can shinobi used for their personal trade or can they sell it to other village , did hokage give these people freedom operating freely is the main issue that needs to highlight not through other’s dialogue

The video shows people use ninjutsu freely now. There’s also ninjutsu scroll beam in Boruto movie for civilian. Those things are clearly under Hokage’s permission and while Naruto disapproved the use of ninjutsu scroll beam for tournament, especially in secret like Boruti, Katakure is not punished nor lost his job.

restrain in what manner or term, in what conduct, we have seen ryogi like rogue kekegenkai kid sent to prison who was victim yet shin clones go to orphanage but they try to kidnap sarada, weird contradiction for naruto’s term meaning there are no especial term and consideration for ‘restrain’ operation, no highlight

I thought that sentence is already clear enough. “Don’t KILL but RESTRAIN”. Whether they got prison or orphanage or even death sentence it can be discussed later but what is actively discouraged on Kakashi’s reign (as per Kakashi Retsuden) is ALL Shinobi’s instinct to kill their opponent on sight instead of attempting to keep their lives for further judgement.

naturally it would improve since after every war there will be economy boom similar to real life but what about small villages like amagakure or former shinobi like kawaki’s father, they said so many shinobi died yet they could not track down impoverished shinobi like kawaki’s father with the help of shinobi union

I believe in Boruto anime Amegakure refused Shinobi Union’s help because they still view Pain as their God and so they distrusted the Shinobi Union who saw Pain as terrorist leader. As for Kawaki’s father, if you think peaceful era means there’s ABSOLUTELY no poor person, boy I got a bad news for you. Especially since the said poor person refused to take decent job, drowned himself in alcohol, and prefer to use his son as punchbag instead of going to therapy (which exist in Kakashi’s reign). 

may not be mercenary but in recent boruto chapter konohamaru forcefully evicts civilians from luxurious house for eida’s accommodation, similar to mercenary work.

I admittedly only watch Boruto for Kakashi’s scene and after almost a year pass I forgot most of them but when I said “mercenaries” I mean their main job is murder. The definition of mercenary :

a private individual who fights for money or other payment in an armed conflict, rather than for political interests. They are also known as soldiers of fortune, hired guns, or mercs.

I... honestly don’t know how that connect with Konohamaru’s action which probably for the sake of civilian’s safety (cmiiw I really don’t know about this). He didn’t fight anyone, he didn’t kill anyone, he didn’t became mercenary, I mean the lethal one.

its peaceful when most of your shinobi population died that you can not sustain ninja village or lifestyle turn to alternatives yet wars would eventually happen as long as small villages not included in 5 kage summit or shinobi village stop being dependent on feudal lords mercy and budget, shikimaru shinden is reminder of that, why not become a normal village whose main objective should be using chakra only or some non fatal useful ninjutsu not any violent shinobi works

Because Boruto, like Naruto, is Shounen franchise. You can’t separate violence from Shounen. Next question.

Okay, for in-world perspective, like it or not after 4th Shinobi War Konoha has reputation as the strongest village, yet the one that still need and ask help from other village. That’s the reason why Union between Shinobi is still standing. They can’t completely turn into pacifist because they have reputation to uphold and balance of power in their hand. 

they care more about skyscrapers not about justice or laws or rights and freedom and needs and benefit of individuals and minority and vulnerable people of the village or orphans 

Minority and vulnerable people of village, which one? What freedom anyone had been deprived? As you can see, people are free to choose their jobs (unlike Kakashi himself who literally got mandated as ANBU then teacher). Hyuuga slavery are no longer exist. It’s practically a common dudebros’ joke that there’s no orphan in Boruto (Kawaki still had his father before he got sold and hidden, Mitsuki is Orochimaru’s weird child, Sumire had her parents). 

I don’t think I even mentioned skyscrapers in that meta?

or how past should be highlighted or dark side of WOF fire being informed and its collective and individual history in the academy, there is no use for ethics or justice as long as you are abide by the village, village is so good in hiding their contradiction, 

I don’t understand, who do you think will uphold ethic and justice if not the village who already change their way? Obito’s world of delusion? Madara the strongest warmonger? Sasuke the Supreme Leader? Village is just a place when many people from different clans gathered, united, and chose one person as their leader (the method of choosing may vary). How corrupt village will be depend of the leader, in which Danzo is already dead and the 2 old hag had no political power anymore.

modern day USA and China even after certain periods we know the dark history of usa and china but for konoha’s case no typical japanese mindset about their ww2 history yet narratives glorify it as side of light or heroic place with full of moral, bull shite writing

Now I understand that you are upset about Uchiha Massacre being non-public. I don’t like that either. But, ultimately the only people that had right to disclosure the truth are people from Uchiha clan a.k.a Itachi and Sasuke. We know that Itachi absolutely didn’t want that to happen. Sasuke is a Shadow Hokage, he can speak the truth if he wants to. Why Sasuke doesn’t want it? Perhaps because in the end he wanted to emulate Itachi. I mean, that’s the whole reason of VOTE2.

(As for why Itachi doesn’t want to disclosure the truth, I will just say that although Itachi chose the dumbest method and Danzo is absolutely disgusting to instigate it, I as a citizen of Indonesia, often dubbed as Real-Life Konoha, kinda understand why Itachi didn’t want his family to be remembered as people who staged a coup. I will give you an elaborate answer if you asked.)

Look, I am not saying that Kakashi’s reign (and then Naruto) is a perfect country, with absolutely no flaws. It’s impossible to create in our world and it’s double impossible to create in a Shounen world when conflict and problem must happen to create a story.

I just wanna appreciate some improvement that Kakashi made in his reign as Hokage because I am Kakashi fan.

This segment is often ignored but I like it so much because it shows a glimpse of how ninja society changed in the era of peace (Blank Period-Boruto era). So some changes that happens are :

- Academy students don’t have to be a ninja 

- They can give up or fail graduation exam and will not be mocked for it (unlike Naruto in the past)

- There’s mention of “Former Ninjas” meaning that probably many ninjas are capable to quit being shinobi in peaceful era, probably because of the decreasing demand for shinobi

- Ninjutsu are widely used on non-military routine tasks.

- It’s explained in the novel, but now there’s rule “don’t kill but restrain” in ninja world, so now it’s heavily forbidden for ninjas to kill each other. So now ninjas are not “mercenaries”, at least most of them.

- Now that shinobi’s QoL are improved rapidly, I hope that bunshin will not create employment issues.

It’s so different from old bloody grime that is Naruto era. Kakashi’s era is worse, Jiraiya’s era is much worse, Hashirama’s era is much much worse. Interesting that the dream started with Hashirama (and Madara)’s era, yet the improvement is not instantaneous, but needs many steps. Still, I hope that we will know more about how Konoha and ninja world in general developed from military state into Metropolis during Blank period but Naruto franchise is primary about shounen fighting so oh well.

Some info from novels, spoiler warning for Retsuden series

The funniest part is that Kakashi is literally the only one who didn't see Obito's perfect dream since he got stuck in Kamui so he didn't receive Naruto's chakra and didn't participate in the tug war. Kakashi completely had no idea that Obito dreamed full AU of their happy ending (and that bastard even erased Gai from his ideal imagination when he was at it) and it was known by EVERYONE except him.

I can imagine the conversation post-war :

Kakashi : I know that Minato-sensei spoke on my behalf and you all still had Madara to tend, but it's kinda surreal for me that everyone let me have a final talk with Obito although everyone must be very angry for multiple heinous atrocities that he commits

Basically all participants of 4th Shinobi War : to be honest when we saw you sat on top Obito's body we thought Obito was already down for good so there's no reason to pursue him again.

Kakashi: *clueless, puzzled and lil bit concerned* what does that mean? Does everyone think I am so heavy?

absolutely nothing in the world funnier than obitos innermost subconscious dreams being revealed to the audience and those dreams being "i want to be president while kakashi sits there and watches and thinks im really cool" you could spend hours making fun of him over it

Happy Birthday Kakashi! giving him some self-love this year
