the funniest thing about the “i was dreaming about sasuke” scene (and every other scene like it) is that naruto is trying to have an iruka conversation with yamato. and it’s like sweetheart. honey. angel. that’s the wrong parental figure/guardian. the man cares but he was raised in the dungeons of konoha and discovered the full depth and extent of human emotion like 8 years ago

Beat me to it

I always headcanon that being from Root, like Sai, he probably grew up with a lack of awareness on what feelings were, but still wanted to understand and feel them, probably having a hard time interpreting his own. So now as an adult, he totally gets what a big deal feelings are, especially one like LOVE, so in this particular moment is like “feelings are precious, why would you lie about that!!!”

Au where kakashi, instead of passing out whenever he gets chakra exhausted, just throws up like a dog that went a little too hard on their walk
