#reading rin's microexpressions is fun

[no-nic]

kakashi gaiden liveblogging

just saving screenshots & taking notes like i'm in an 8 credit class i can't afford to fail

(tumblr allows max 30 images in one post so it's been cut a bit)

oh no he’s cute

minato is sitting there just listening to kakashi’s tirade

TINY RIN!

when your pre-teen not-son quotes the rulebook

kakashi’s teeth are deserving of their own sound effect; self-control indeed!

just say “i’m uchiha obito”. or shut up. you’re delusional, baby obitobito you need a terrible makeover by an elderly relative

anyone told you it’s trauma related? or are you just squinting really hard and hoping?

i have no idea what wee wee means but it’s very close to wheeze

how dare you interrupt their argument for some pointless mission

kusagakure = land of freaky flora (& fungi)? hashirama’s experimental ground?

no more arguing. get fucked sensei. CHIDORI!

fun details:

obito: 2 bum bags

kakashi: 2 bum bags + tanto harness. is one of those bags that med pack gift from rin?

rin: backpack

minato: backpack

big stick-finger-in-socket energy

puppy got the zoomies!!!

shortcut to mushrooms (goes through)

QUESTION! …aren’t shadow clones (doppelgangers here) supposed to be a konoha special? (if not a forbidden technique? or are mass shadow clones the taboo?)

OBITO FAIL! love rin’s expression of despair here

bby kakashi is so cute… he’s been scolded by his sensei… minato: dust can’t get into your eyes when you’re wearing goggles. it’s fine to speak of self-control, but you must be strong at heart, not just in words. like dude, shut up, that’s a kakashi-level bullying comeback.

is it a choice to hide obito’s eyes here?

“it was five years ago, on a top secret mission…” i sense another TIMELINE disturbance. CINEMA SINS! arrest this guy! kakashi genin 5 -> chunin 6 -> sakumo’s suicide some time later (implied by order of events in kakashi’s birthday column) -> kakashi currently 11 years old or more minato: unfortunately, a great deal of damage resulted. in the end, both the land of fire and his peers blamed him for everything. CINEMA SINS! how was this mission “top secret” if everybody and their aunt knew about it? FANON! “sakumo was blamed for the third shinobi war” nope

she’s so tiny!!! “she has found a new master.” shut the fuck up you pervert

and now he’s back to laws. oh boy. and you were so right earlier. now you’re just giving obito speech material.

OBITO WIN! KAKASHI FAIL! the idiot boy is going for the [combat] dialogue option!

kakashi: if you give in to your fleeting emotions, and fail an important mission… you’ll regret it later. does obito have a lot of “fleeting emotions”? kakashi: but like i told you yesterday… better nothing, than a useless burden. a shinobi needs tools suitable to the mission at hand. emotion is just a useless burden. i don’t know if he read it in danzo’s root handbook or if this is just A Fact. emotions are not needed if you’re just a tool armed with tools. how will tears help you when you’re bleeding out? how dare you be human, obititio

of course kakashi doesn’t truly believe this. obito keeps asking if he’s for real, kakashi is making sad faces and flashbacking to his father.

obito: sure, in a ninja’s world, those who violate the rules and fail to follow orders… are lower than garbage. however… those who do not care for and support their fellows… are even lower than that! if i’m scum… the rules are no good to me! and if breaking them makes me the wrong kind of shinobi… i’ll crush all the so-called shinobi!! anyone wants to convince me that obito is happy with konoha (and the whole system)???

242: Chronicle 4: The Crybaby Ninja (it’s embarrassing that you immediately know it's obito)

flash to minato

“there are probably at least fifty on the enemy side. by comparison, the four of us are all that’s left on our end.” iwagakure sent 1000 shinobi, konoha numbers unknown. now its 50 vs 5 (4+minato). minato isn’t even throwing his own kunai FANON! “minato massacred 1000 enemy shinobi alone” he wishes

obito (to himself): okay… let’s go! invisible enemy: where are we going?

my boy is glowing!!!

white light blade and silver hair! he’s here and now he’s there! KAKASHI WIN! the iwa guy really looked at this tiny gremlin and went “white fang???”

first time in years he’s talked about his father!!!

243: Chronicle 5: A Gift

iwa jonin i can’t be bothered to look up: remember, you’re standing in the palm of your enemy now… a fun way to say you can control rocks and they are in a cave

OBITO WIN! not for long tho

obito: i was the only one… who didn’t… give you a gift… i didn’t know… what was proper… but… i do now… he actually thought about kakashi’s jonin gift!!! obito: i’m about to… die. but i’ll… become your eye… and we’ll see what happens… in the future…

244: Chronicle 6: Sharingan Hero

hole.

kakashi: rin… obito… he loved you… you were his only one… he gave his life to protect you. rin: then… kakashi! you should know how i feel about you… kakashi brought up confessing, rin was just staying on topic. btw obito “gave his life” to protect kakashi, not rin. just a reminder

let her look at stars

(narration) the third great ninja war. with the sacrifice of many nameless shinobi, the protracted war finally came to a close. it its wake, it also left legends… the stories of great heroes, to be told and retold for generations to come. the battle of kannabi bridge. that day, two heroes were born in konohagakure, each with his own sharingan. one found his name engraved on the memorial stone… the other came to be known as kakashi of the sharingan. in time, the tales of his bravery spanned all borders, and beyond.

CINEMA SINS! obito wears goggles (on his forehead) after he awakens the sharingan. when they go to the cave where rin is held he doesn’t have them on. are they in kakashi’s bum bag?

THE END.
