i remember reading naruto as a 13-year-old and being so confused that kakashi was willing to read porn in public but today it occurred to me that the number of times i’ve straight-facedly read porn on ao3 in public is honestly kind of worrying. i’ve become kakashi. we’ve all become kakashi
Except for those of us who grew up to be Jiraiya and straight-facedly write porn in public.

coming off anbu kakashi probably has a terrifying reputation i bet absolutely no one gives him shit until this squad of twelve year olds show up and rip him to fucking shreds its so fucking funny
kakashi: *is extremely good at killing, has reputation for being cold-blooded and willing to kill fellow konoha shinobi*
naruto (twelve, doesn’t know about any of that shit): haha your hair looks bad old man
one of my all time favourite moments in the entire naruto manga is gai’s face when he hears taijutsu is the only thing that will work on madara
that is the face of a man who is going to fuck someone up
imagine sakura challenging tsunade to an arm wrestle the day after she shatters her first boulder and tsunade being all like hell fucking ye let’s do this and forgetting that sakura is barely 100 pounds and doesn’t even reach her shoulder she uses her full strength and accidentally slams sakura through all the floors of the hokage tower
and she’s really horrified until a small voice squeaks “best two outta three”
i got asked why i say naruto has borderline personality disorder, and i decided to just go ahead and make a Big Post about it because i think it’s really important to talk about how this much-loved protagonist hero shows the signs of a disorder that is usually highly stigmatized
(if you’re uneducated about what bpd is, here’s a basic overview – be careful of where you look for info on bpd; there are a lot of sites that provide inaccurate info that stigmatizes the disorder)
(if you’re going to yell at me about how naruto isn’t real and this post is pointless, save your efforts, because i really don’t care)
i say naruto has bpd for these main reasons:
- he has a fear of abandonment and a deep need for acknowledgment
- has what is often called a ‘favorite person’ and much of what he does is grounded in that fact. he desires acknowledgement from this person more than all others and fears their abandonment more than anyone else’s
- he is very emotional, and his emotions are intense and subject to quick changes
- he is very self-critical
- he is high-empathy
i’ll now go through these now in a bit more detail, and try to provide examples.
