god imagine you're the ghost fire genasi smoldering skeleton navigator of a ghost ship. maybe once you were the captain? unclear. you were named by a faceless entity who has definitely dressed up as Geralt of Rivia for Halloween that's for fucking sure, though within the story you obviously don't know that. You carved your own eye out to prove you didn't need depth perception to navigate. You are That Bitch for sure. You are a little worried about the moon but keeping it to yourself.
So you're in the crow's nest, looking through the magical fog that surrounds this archipelagic reminder of your world's worst cataclysm, having a moment of peace after these seven dipshits decided to use you as a taxi service, and this guy who just got custom tailored Antihero Chic (TM) garb (you are in the ghostly rags you've worn for a century) sidles up to you and starts saying shit like "Times are changing" and tells you they met a god, and claims to know about the moon and asks all these personal questions, and drops like five different Ominous Gnomic Utterances in your direction, and this person who HAS to be like a quarter your age at MOST is like "do you know what anger is?" at you and you're just like oh geez downside of being the navigator in the crow's nest is that there's no graceful way to exit conversations because like. they're in your house.

I can't be the only person who looked at Aerin's CG and thought- this bitch is posing. He spotted me 3 minutes ago and he's just been standing there, anxiously brainstorming the best way to look cool when I noticed him. And when I turned to walk this way, he leaned against the fence and smirked because he thought it would look confident and collected.
He's right, but read the room, man. You look like a dick coming in here with that energy. I saw you awkwardly standing outside the fortune teller's tent trying to look busy while you waited for me. You can't fool me with this!

I just want to say something about Kakashi and the fact that he never lashes out against the system or tried to fix it himself.
Something i’ve seen him compared to is Gojo who states he ‘could kill all the higher ups’ but i think a lot of people forget that he also says ‘nothing would change’ (which is funny to me because i saw the manga shot once and remembered it and i don’t watch JJK)
There’s a few reason’s this doesn’t work for Kakashi
1) OG Kakashi couldn’t do that.
Kakashi in OG Naruto wasn’t on par with Hiruzen. He’d lose that fight. Yes he’s an assassine but Hiruzen is a Hokage level shinobi.
He’s not going to be snuck up on that easy and in a 1 vs 1 battle Og Kakashi is not winning. War arc or Hokage Kakashi might win, but not OG Kakashi. He still has a lot of growing to do in his skills.
2) as Gojo said, nothing would change
If Kakashi could and did kill Hiruzen, then what? Tsunade maybe gets convonced to take the job or Danzo gets it. Kakashi ends up a Rogue Ninja away from all his friends, painted as the bad guy for trying to in-force his beliefs over everyone?
Gai is on par with Kakashi. Maybe he could take the rest of Konoha but Gai, Jiraiya (if he’s there), Tsunade (if she’s there)
Like, they’d all probably turn on him and try to kill him. He wouldn’t be there hero. No one would be throwing him parties.
He’d be the bad guy in everyone’s eyes.
This man has lost so much that i think that would shatter him. He wouldn’t have any more will to fight ir change shit. His will to fight the system is already so broken even when we see him go against orders.
3) it doesn’t match Kakashi’s established ‘style’
Kakashi isn’t someone who does things alone. His main motto is teamwork.
If Kakashi were to go against the system and try to change it, he’d do it with his friends. He’d convince them that the system is broken (or maybe they realize themselves like Gai) and that they need to change it.
He’d probably avoid killing.
Kakashi was an assassine but as soon as he gained power he changed the law so instead of killing enemies shinobi were to capture them.
If Kakashi can think of a way to do things without killing, he will. Everyone has a different answer to changing things (Sasuke=kill everyone, Obito & madara= eternal dream, Nagato = making everyone else suffer). Kakashi’s answer is peaceful solution where there can be one.
4) that’s not the point of this story
Naruto wants to be Hokage. Do i think he should have changed and recognized the system? Yes. But that’s not how Kishi wrote it.
In Kishi’s story as we read it, anyone directly against the system is bad no matter what their solution. Zabuza is bad until he ‘changes his mind before death’, Obito is bad until he switches side, Sasuke is bad until Naruto ‘convinces him’)
Kishi would only write Kakashi lashing out directly against the system if he wanted to make Kakashi into a bad guy in his story. Since Kakashi is one of his good guys, he had him silently and slowly changing the system with his own actions and teachings.
Kishi simply didn’t write Kakashi being against the syatem in the same way the JJK author wrote Gojo being against the system because his world is very black and white. Good and bad. (Even though Gojo’s solution is the exact same as Kakashi’s).
Kakashi is a character i believe should have been more against the current system, demanding change because he has lost so much to that system. But that’s simply not the character Kishi wrote.
Edit: may I add this man would absolutely go to bat for his students. He defied Hiruzen to save Tenzo from Danzo. He tell’s his student’s to always put their teammates before their mission and that extebds to putting his precious people over the village if he has to.
