Worst days

Tw for Kakashi’s general (terrible) mental state, including hallucinations, slight body horror and blood.

I.

II.

III.

These are parts 1, 2 and 3 out of 5. You can probably already guess who the rest will be about.

Parts 4 and 5

I have kind of taken this project as sort of like three different art studies in one (color, lineart and Kakashi's character).

It is set on Kakashi's ANBU era, where he was most depressed (and hallucinations were definetly (a common occurance/happening)). He had lost everything and everyone during this stage of his life, which is why I wanted to explore his feelings about every person he lost and how their deaths affected him.

More details about each part that you may have not noticed:

Sakumo:

Kakashi’s face is not fully visible, only Sakumo's.

At the end when he talks about the blood he refers to the floor as "wooden", but he's n the bathroom, actually standing on a tile floor, meaning he's hallucinating that he's in his old house right where he found his father.

Minato and Kushina:

They are both intentionally blurry, because Kakashi was not involved in their deaths in any way at all, unlike the other ones. He never saw them die. He just learned that they were gone.

This is also why he can’t reach them. No matter how much he runs he could not get there in time to save them, just like his sensei. He can’t go back into the past, either, so he just lost them without saying goodbye, only seeing what they left behind.

Minato is on his back in that one panel to represent the emotional distance between him and Kakashi. In canon Minato always seemed to keep a formal sort of work-oriented relationship with his team, because even though he seemed warm he was actually quite far, and he never opened up about himself at all.

Kushina's voice is simply "loud and vibrant", simply energetic, but I chose to make its connotation ambiguous because we never saw her and Kakashi interact in canon and so don’t know how their relationship was like.

In the last panel Kakashi's hand is monster-like, kind of like a certain seven-tailed beast in that one scene, which represents how he believes his influence would horribly corrupt Naruto.

Kakashi:

The color palette on the whole comic is monochromatic except for the blood and Kakashi's sharingan, representing how colorless his life was before he had his precious people with him, especially Obito.

This is the first time Kakashi's face is visible.

The focus on the "white fang" blade also works as a reminder of what will eventually happen if he breaks.

Mf really thought he was saving face.

Here gremlins have this before I make another naruto as memes post🧍

I know we talk about kakashi being mentally screwed but I just know Yamato after the war arc was on watch💔 and probably before that because no person comes out sane from being around orochimaru more than 24 hours

Naruto: Now that I'm the hokage I can access the archived personnel records and see Kakashi sensei's face!

*opens the file*

*the photo is cut in half and the lower part is missing*

Naruto: You've gotta be kidding me-

10 years prior

Kakashi: Now that I'm the hokage-

⌕ naruto: team 7 • kakashi.

Kakashi: This is... a lot of weapons. Gai: Uh, that’s Tenten's emotional support sword collection. Kakashi, examining a blade: This one has blood on it. Gai: Yes, she called it 'sentimental value.' Kakashi: ...Okay.

[skykashi]

Sasuke might've been Kakashi's punishment for what he did to Minato but Naruto is definitely a payback for what he did to Sakumo 😂

Good thing he can't read minds because Inner Sakura would've ended him lol

Kakashi: I'm 10 times funnier and sexier than you

Iruka: 10 times 0 is still 0 though

Kurenai *looking on: Iruka Sensei is out for blood today

Asuma: Yes, Dad would be proud.

Worst days

Part I, II and III here.

Tw for Kakashi’s general (terrible) mental state, including blood and suicide attempt.

IV.

V.

As promised here are part 4 and 5. I wanted to save the two heaviest and darkest ones for last and of course there are some differences with the other ones:

Obito:

This part doesn’t start with the same text as the others, implying that Obito only "shows up" when Kakashi is at his complete worst.

The red string coming from Kakashi's Sharingan is implied to be the red string of fate (I couldn’t resist) but it’s also all around him (and around his neck) with no hope to untangle it.

Obito is the only one who has a positive effect on him. This is because Obito is the reason why he kept going during that stage of his life.

Kakashi's face here is not only visible, but there's also a close-up to his eye.

You can probably guess which was the promise that Kakashi made to Obito, that he broke in the past :)

Rin:

The text on Rin's part is also different because Kakashi percieves her much more differently than the rest, just through feeling alone.

The comic starts directly with a close-up to his face and eyes, to his soul.

The wide circle on the panel at the bottom is a reference to her wound.

Because Rin's tone of voice changes depending on the day (and his state of mind), I chose not to show her face to avoid any hint to her emotions.
