#the genius [Kakashi]

Kakashi spins SO MUCH compared to Obito in their fights, but as someone who trained martial arts for many years, I get it, you know?

First of all, Kakashi loves his kicks. It puts some distance between you and your target, you can protect the upper half of your body by leaning back, a well thrown kick can send your adversary flying or staggering back, etc.

The cool part is that Kakashi uses a lot of back spinning kicks. They have more strength behind them because you use your entire body and the energy the movement creates. If you dominate the techniques and you've trained your balance so you won't get dizzy, it's almost expected to use kicking combos.

I'll try to explain?? It's a bit hard, but I want it to be easy to understand for someone who doesn't know how the kicking dynamic works.

Okay, so—

There are different parts of the foot you can use to cause different types of damage. It depends on how you're standing and from which direction you're kicking. So imagine you stand with your body facing a side and while you look ahead. Your right foot is behind and you want to kick with that one— you retract your right knee, you bring your right leg up and closer to your body, all the while your left foot starts to shift its position to look back. At the same time you extend your right leg, your left foot shifts. The movement is explosive and your body is now facing the opposite side.

You are already half spinning!

If you don't land the hit, you can always set your right foot down and keep the flow of your body to back kick with the heel or arch of your left foot. If that one kick doesn't hit, you can set your left foot down and... Kick again with your right! Now you're facing ahead again!

The best (like Kakashi) can spin without setting a foot down, basically using the movement to keep them afloat.

I'm making it all so way more simple than it is and the combinations can vary pretty drastically, but as I was saying, Kakashi is a practical fighter and he loves to use every single thing available while he fights.

The reason why he fights so elegantly is because, like in a dance, he uses the flow to move, to guide the fight, to shift the position of his own body and the position of his weapons. In comparison, Obito learned to use more of the movement and weight to counter Kakashi's fluidity.

(I ended up making a bunch of gifs for this post, oops! Better keep going!)

Anyway, I bet I don't have to mention how much Kakashi spins his weapons. There are at least six different occasions during this particular fight with Obito. He loves to spin kunais to change his grip, to exchange hands, he even sent one flying high so he got both hands free to defend himself from Obito and then proceeded to kick it midair to with his heel, so it cut Obito in the cheek.

He's practical, so every spin has a meaning. Back at his fight with Zabuza, Kakashi even used the spin with his summoning scroll to intimidate... I think (I can't remember clearly).

You can rewatch almost any Kakashi fight in the anime and compare it to this post. You'll see that he is the spinning king for a reason.

your points about Chad Kakashi are very true. As well as Virgin Obito. But I would like to propose the well loved trope of Chad Becomes A Moron Because Of Virgin. Obito not even trying to be sexy and yet, Kakashi getting turned on left and right.

Anon you are 1000% correct, thank you for The Visions:

Kabu likes to play TAG with his pokemon... and he's shown to have a much softer side beneath his strictness in pokemas too... he's so grandpa-shaped to me 😭💖

Who would've thought their Witch Academy-Stupid-AND-Annoying-Crush would become one of the most feared sorcerers and shapeshifter demons in all of history? -- Yeah, not Kakashi.

This is why you will NEVER convince me TenTen didn’t have potential. You mean to tell me that there’s someone who can scoop up the Pacific Ocean and put it in a tool, doesn’t have potential? Someone who used legendary weapons just like that, isn’t like that? I don’t care. I don’t care. TenTen had major potential and could’ve been explored more.

since the naruto timeline is so… you know… inconsistent, for a word, i think it’s really funny if obito and rin are older than kakashi by some years. because then obito is really just having beef with a toddler like kakashi is 6 and obito is 9 or 10 and he finds this little feral dog child to be a major threat to his psyche. meanwhile rin has to be his voice of reason, saying no you can not hurt our 6 year old teammate, look at him he’s just a baby. and kakashi is snarling, on his hands and knees, barking like a chihuahua at them. and minato who’s a very busy jounin asks rin and obito to look after kakashi because he’s very messed up and could use a friend or two. but obito takes it as minato wants him to babysit his ankle biter teammate whom he loathes. but of course rin agrees and obito begrudgingly goes with her. and he doesn’t know how to deal with kids, being one himself, so he tries to boss kakashi around but little selectively mute kakashi glares at him and snaps his teeth at him any time obito so much as breathes air wrong. rin who understood minato’s assignment and asks if kakashi needs help cooking dinner or washing the dishes and is just generally friendly rather than bossy. obito still not understanding and trying to inflict bath time on a dog boy who viciously does not like water and the only people who can actually get him to take a bath are his dead father, minato, and pakkun. kakashi who likes rin enough and lets her sit on his furniture and kakashi who does not trust obito as far as he can throw him and growls at him when he so much as walks into the room. obito who’s had enough and decides to teach the baby a lesson. kakashi and obito who end up having a brawl in the living room while rin watches cartoons because hagoromo otsutsuki she’s just a girl! and she does not have the patience to deal with her asshole baby teammate and her stupid best friend teammate. minato who shows as up eventually and separates kakashi and obito and thinks they’re finally getting along until kakashi lifts his leg and pisses on the ground to mark his territory. the rest of team minato who finally realize that kakashi is actually just a puppy in human form and he is not housebroken…

You know, i can see why people would say Kakashi would lose a fight to Hashirama and Naruto. He would. They’re litterally god status shinobi

I think Minato and Tobirama are overrated but i’n tired of fighting with thise fans

But Hiruzen and Tsunade are Hokage’s who Kakashi is on par with. Stats wise Kakashi is between them (Hiruzen has 34, Kakashi 34.5 and Tsunade 35) meaning they’re all very close in skill. Tsunade obviously has her 100 healings which would make her incredably difficult to defeat obviously

But I think people are REALLY over hyping hiruzen. He’s known as the strongest of his generation and the professor but like… His biggest accomplishment is knowing a crap ton of jutsu’s

Which is obv impressive but Kakashi knows more

Both Kakashi and Hiruzen have all the elements mastered

Both of them are incredibly strong and talented shinobi known for being the strongest of their gen (with Kakashi’s friend actually being as strong as him and surpassing him by using the eighth gate while Hiruzen’s friend just stole Uchiha eyes and died a meaningless death but that doesn’t count towards them personally)

How does Kakashi keep getting religated to ‘weakest Hokage’ when Hiruzen and Tsunade are the same level of him, each with different skills

Hatake Clan Crack AU

All the clans have some bullshit going on right? Well I had the absolutely hilarious thought that for the Hatake it is foundlings.

Essentially, the Hatake bloodline is a myth. Every member of the family is dropped off in the night by some family spirit or something. All the children have the silver hair, a symbol of their acceptance into the Hatake clan by the ancestors, and their chakra goes white when they are accepted bt the living.

This child delivery happens to every Hatake when they reach an age and time where they are ready to support a child. And it'll just keep happening. There is no stopping it.

So. Kakashi retires from being Hokage and a baby shows up on his door step. Ok. Cool. Um... guess it'll go to the orphanage... But the silver hair... Its all very confusing for him because there is actually no way it is his but it sure looks like it.

The next day it is back on his doorstep. He is *very* concerned now. He tries to put the kid in the orphanage like 2 more times before giving in.

A month later another kid shows up. This repeats until it stops being funny or Kakashi just straight up takes over the orphanage. The Hatake Clan is suddenly the biggest in the village except all but one of its members are under age 5.

Kakashi is a human, yet through his dogs, I can't help but think of him as one. He is stubbornly loyal to his owner even if said owner never feeds him. The owner killed his dad and his friends and made sure to grow kakashi into a violent dog that barks and bites on command.

Yet even when kakashi is wrong, you can't properly be mad at a dog.

im so (not) sorry

og meme in really shit quality under that bar that ppl put to keep reading or smth idk this is like my second post here

[team7-headquarter]

I can't take Naruto seriously sometimes because I have to laugh at some of the "omg this kid must be a genius" moments of the manga.

Most of the time it's so painfully clear those are just kids. Confused, desperate, traumatized to no end, scared. Kids that want to believe in a greater good to justify the violence they commit. Kids, just kids. They don't know who to trust, they get manipulated, they make me want to tear apart the adults in their lives and scream and cry an—

Shisui's solution to stop the Uchiha coup was to brainwash Fugaku and to be honest? Fugaku was not even half the problem. The problem was that the Uchiha prejudice had reached unparalleled levels, that the system was stepping on them and had been stepping on them since Hashirama was still alive. There's no way that the clan would have stayed quiet, even if Fugaku ordered them to not follow the plan.

Shisui was smart for his age but he was desperate and he was scared and he was, at the end of the day, just a teenager. That's why he got killed by Danzo. That's why he suicided and left the burden to Itachi to carry.

Itachi was a kid too. Fuck the genius title, it is complete bullshit in Naruto. He thought that the solution was to follow Hiruzen's plan because he was so traumatized by war, he would do literally anything to avoid it. But massacring his whole clan was any better? Didn't he kill innocent people all the same? Didn't he prolong the suffering of Konoha? Hiruzen had the audacity to say that Itachi was wise as a kage in his young age, which is stupid and shows what Hiruzen thinks a kage is and how they should think.

Shisui and Itachi were not geniuses. They were kids / teenagers who happened to be more ways to mold and turn into weapons. That they were smart doesn't mean they were adults.

Neji? He was strong, he was smart and mature. He was one of the best members of the Hyuga clan at 12 years old, a pattern shared with Shisui and Itachi. However, the Chuning Exams made it very clear that Neji was as lost and confused and hollow as the rest of those "geniuses". He was lied to. It's a tradition at this point: how much info do you think they are keeping away from you so that you behave like they want you to behave?

Kakashi? He said it himself that he was stupid for believing he was such a big deal, when in fact his attitude didn't help him save his teammates or properly train his students. The genius title only served to cause him pain. In the Naruto universe, people assume you are immune to emotions or being your age if you're a genius, it seems.

"This kid is a genius" and then the story proceeds to show them making a terrible decision that is not even theirs, it's the system playing with them.

Over and over and over again.

#Icarus Verse || @strawberry-medic || Nohara Rin:

She sighs for the fourth time. And yet they are still at it. Arguing over who would be a better Hokage. That was one thing that years had not changed about Obito and Kakashi - their bickering was now borderline legendary. "Ne sensei? How about a female hokage instead?" Rin decided the best revenge may as well be jumping into the frenzy.

"Hm" Cue a pensive tap on the chin. A female Hokage, ka? There hadn't been a single female leader in the history of the village - heck, in all of Hi no Kuni, in fact.

Maybe Rin - or some other, equally talented kunoichi could change that (Cue flashback to the nth challenge issued by one boisterous red headed kunoichi. Training ground 4 had never been the same after that).

"I don't see why not." He replies, lips twitching into a grin as the bickering pauses. Blue hues shift from the kunoichi to the duo.

"Hear that? You have competition."

Rin was the most responsible of the three anyways. If he had to pick between the three of him to hold down the fort in his absence, it would most likely be her.

Pensamientos sobre Kakashi cómo "villano"

esto lo analice profundamente a las 3am así que– solo estoy pensando un poco en el hecho del suicidio de Sakumo.

en el canon, sabemos que Kakashi tenía alrededor de 4/5/6 años cuándo sucedió. sabemos que Kakashi se sintió abandonado, y le agarró rencor a su padre por "dejarlo solo" (cosa la cuál, es más difícil de explicar y entender que sólo eso), y a base de eso, Kakashi se hizo más una herramienta y se apegó a las reglas DE KONOHA.

si fuese el caso, y Kakashi hubiese empezado a odiar a Konoha (porque sabemos que Sakumo se suicidó por presión social, su propia depresión, y ser un ninja y ESA misión), y se hubiera vuelto un ninja renegado, oh, automáticamente se vuelve "malo".

quiero decir, te APEGAS A LAS REGLAS DE KONOHA, y aún tienes "derechos" incluso si fue culpa de mismo Konoha lo sucedido. pero, COMIENZAS A ODIAR KONOHA y automáticamente tú eres el villano, y el malo. amo a Kakashi, y él es cómo un ángel para mí, tan bueno, y lindo, pero también siento que no odió a Konoha porque no tenía fuerzas, voluntad y un plan en concreto. (Gai, y el deseo de Obito), pero también está claro que Kakashi vive de lo que los demás piensan, o lo que alguna vez creyeron o creen. Kakashi no tiene una voz propia para absolutamente nada.

personalmente, creo que es agotador seguir cada regla por el trauma. todos tienen formas distintas de liderar con el trauma, y la de Kakashi duele mucho. sobretodo el saber que si odiaba Konoha, aún siendo un niño, automáticamente se hubiese vuelto un "villano" y la aldea entera se pondría en su contra.

idk, me extiendo hablando sobre esto, y jamás terminaré. Kakashi "villano" hubiese sido interesante.

[depressedhatakekakashi]

Never seen someone try to deny Itachi and Kakashi were prodigies/genius’ before

Guess there’s a new thing for people to lie about every day
