I'm rereading (already the fourth, fifth time?) Ear to the Wall, and an unexpected thought occurred to me. Could the Shinobi who drove Kakashi to identify his father intend to traumatize him with this? They were kind of disliked a lot at that time, and people in the village still don't like Kakashi a year later, I guess.what do you think? I wrote this at night with the help of a translator, some mistakes are possible lol
You hit the nail on the head with this, my friend 😔 the people at the morgue/hospital who forced Kakashi to come and identify his father did it maliciously. It was clearly Sakumo, there was no doubt about it, but they were ‘just following protocol, there’s nothing they could do about it. Poor kid tho 🤷🏼♀️”
Anyway yeah, you read underneath the underneath and caught that little implication in my writing! Just bitter, malicious adults abusing their positions in society to take their anger out on an a innocent little kid as a scapegoat. It’s a Konoha specialty, I’ve heard.
