A.k.a part of this post, but with more elaboration on one of the point.
So recently I went to Reddit, a toxic site I know, someone posted about a good video that they made. It’s the conversation between Kakashi and Sasuke before Sound Four came with some addition of Kakashi’s backstories because as the video maker said “wanted to highlight Kakashi's point of view, after we learn more about him”. The video post is so good and not offensive at all, but it quickly turned into pain wars, because reddit is full of . In the middle of the mess (not really, it’s one of the top comment actually), I found this comment.
This is... something that I wanna talk for so long, because that statement is somehow popular but IS UTTERLY WRONG.
[long post below]
This comment has 30+ upvotes and perhaps more because in Reddit downvotes will reduce the upvotes and I am downvoting the hell of this comment. Meaning that there are at least 30 Naruto redditors who is legit humans in this world who has the same mindset. Or they’re bots, since that statement is so heartless. Borrowing Obito’s words,
“WHAT CAUSE ME TO DESPAIR IS THIS WORLD ITSELF! THIS COUNTERFEIT WORLDS!”
Because by Gods, it’s so painfully incorrect. I have no idea what they had in mind to write that. Maybe they want to undermine Kakashi’s struggles, but it's like saying that soldier's family shouldn't blame anyone for their grief because "soldiers were ready to die anyway".
For those who read this post and are soldiers/polices and/or having soldier/police loved ones, I am deeply sorry for the insensitiveness of that statement. Hope you and your family stay safe and if something bad happen, you have people who will sympathize with your anguish.
Like seriously, Naruto is a story about shinobi world. Where shinobis kill each other in the name of mission, grieved each other, and bore hatred toward each other. Heck, the main theme of that anime is to “break the cycle of hatred”.
So the mentality of “no one can be blamed for shinobi’s death on a mission” is like demeaning the core of the anime itself.
If no one can be blamed for shinobi’s death because “they were ready to die anyway”, what about Chiyo, who attack Kakashi because of his resemblance with the man who killed her grandson’s parents?
What about Obito, who massacred Kiri nins and manipulate Yagura to Kiri’s ruin because of Rin’s death on a mission?
What about Nagato, who destroyed Konoha and even at first has prejudice to Jiraiya because he wears headband with the same symbol as those who killed his parents after they attack those ninjas first?
What about those shinobis who fights with others from different villages before Gaara’s speech because of their shinobi loved ones’ death?
What about those who hates Kyuubi and Bijuu for the losses of their loved ones on Bijuu’s rampage?
The heck, what about Sasuke? Itachi is a shinobi who readily accepted massacre order and its consequences you know? In what logic Kakashi has no one to blame on 13 years old Rin’s death but Sasuke has the whole village to blame on 13 years old Itachi’s suffering?
I am in no way demeaning their pain. They are wronged. Their grief is valid. Their loved ones were ripped apart from them in a tragic way because of the cruelty of the world. My point is, if we sympathize with them for hurting because their loved one will not return, why the hell Kakashi somehow should expect that his loved one will not return to him? If they have someone to blame on their suffering, why Kakashi had no one to blame?
Kakashi is hurting too, by the death of his father, Obito, Rin, his Sensei, and perhaps more. He’s a shinobi since the age of 6, but in no way he was ready to lose them all, especially in such a tragic way. He literally said that he also thought his world was a hell because of the death of his loved ones (who were all shinobis). He even said that Obito’s path maybe is not really mistaken, ya know, the whole brainwashing all people in the world under happy delusion, making it the most illogical statement that Kakashi ever said in the whole anime.
Konoha, Kiri, Iwa, Kurama, he can blame them and we’ve shown many other people do that. Heck, Kakashi can hate the whole world like Obito and Madara. Kakashi has so many people to blame for his sufferings, just because he doesn’t blame anyone doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.
Although, I can’t fault people much for thinking that way. When we project into Kakashi’s inner self, we can’t find people whom he hold a grudge. But why we can’t find anyone despite the fact that conditionally Kakashi is wronged by so many people?
I can’t find any reason except that Kakashi from the bottom of his heart chooses to not hold a grudge or hatred.
At least from what we saw in anime, Kakashi chooses to not blame anyone for his suffering. Kakashi chooses to not pursue revenge. Kakashi chooses to not have prejudice toward his opponents (past or present). Kakashi chooses to treat Kiri-nin Haku with gentleness and fulfill Zabuza’s last wish.
Kakashi chooses to console Chiyo (who declared herself as his father’s enemy) when she had doubt with herself and made her laugh (I spoke about it more on this post).
Kakashi chooses to trust Kurama (the one who killed his sensei and his wife), accept Kurama’s help, thank him, and even say that he was relieved to be captained by him.
(Humain note : “We can stroke each other off after we’ve kicked its ass!” I’M HOWLING some fan scanlation is amazing. KakaKurama shipper this is your content).
Of course that doesn’t mean he never hates anyone. In his teen on Kakashi ANBU arc he was cold-hearted, had no mercy to Iwagakure shinobis and became “a being that produced darkness”. Kakashi ANBU arc is indeed not manga-canon material, but it was concepted from Naruto 4th Databook so at least the idea came from Kishimoto’s brain (and that’s why it’s the best filler arc, at least for me).
I think that’s how he gets his “obsessing with revenge made you feel empty” speech. During his ANBU era it’s easy for him to blind himself in killing spree and felt empty afterward. As he grew older he has no problem to stand side by side with Kitsuchi the top-tier Iwagakure shinobi that high possibly participated in planning Iwagakure’s movement on Third War.
He also has Iwa shinobis on his squad but at no point as squad leader he was shown mistreated them or threw them on frontline as human shield because of his hatred, although he has the authority power to do so.
Tl: dr = I am not a soldier/police and has no soldier/police loved ones but if I have one, I hope that every time they went to a mission, the first thing on their mind should be that “they have to return” instead of “they might not return”.
