Character meta
Kakashi
- Question: why do you think Kakashi seemed to not live up to his prodigious status?a
- Canon Kakashi leans on the Sharingan very heavily, and we tend to see him either lose or need help from other people. a
- Kakashi & Da Boyz: A Lab Report a
- What is your opinion on canon Kakashi? a
- coming off anbu kakashi probably has a terrifying reputation a
- people citing the chunin exams arc for why kakashi is a bad teacher is like my absolute biggest pet peeve in the world a

Yamato/Tenzou
Rin
Minato
Sasuke
(I know he already has a page but.... it's a stub and i need to collect things before I can write anything on it.)
- sasuke avoids killing a
- i think it’s really sad that with his later actions/attitudes sasuke ends up with a bad rep for not caring at all about others and being entirely selfish a
- #sasuke is ethnically a cop a + mikoto married a cop so it doesn't matter + itachi slaughtered the uchihas to save sasuke from growing up to be a cop
- Single Use Clothing Sasuke a
- i do feel like people who arent reading/watching naruto in a critical manner very easily fall for the narrative that sasuke is somehow overreacting when it comes to his trauma a
- I know I talk about this all the time, but damn, it really strikes me how Kakashi is is the only adult who tries to be there for Sasuke after the loss of his family. a and this a and this a
- Hot take: At the respective points in the narrative that they faced him, Yamato and Kakashi were, power-wise, capable of killing Sasuke. a
- Even though I’m not wholly a fan of the way Sasuke’s arc was resolved, what I love about it is that we see Sasuke start to visibly change his behaviour as soon as he joins the war. a
- how is it that you hate Sasuke for being a dick as a result of his trauma while loving Itachi who literally caused him to be the way that he is? a
- I disagree on Sasuke’s goal actually. I think his main goal has always been to be “a good Uchiha” since before the massacre. a
- A question for the community about Sasuke's possible return to Konoha.a
