The Harsh Reality of Kakashi on Naruto Online

 I’ve played numerous Naruto games and explored various themes, but I believe Naruto Online is one of the best. This card game revolves around collecting and nurturing different ninjas, allowing players to form diverse teams. Among all the card games, my favorite character is Kakashi, as he is also my favorite from the anime!

However, as the anime draws to a close, I’ve come to realize the tragic nature of Kakashi’s character. He isn’t as graceful as I once imagined. Ever since the events that transpired when he was thirteen, it seems that he has not lived for himself anymore. Perhaps the true Kakashi is already dead!

Throughout the anime, Kakashi never discusses his own dreams or plans, and his battle strategies are always aligned with Obito's Sharingan. Everything he does is for Obito, aiming to grant him a glimpse of the future world. He has inherited and perpetuated Obito's belief that "companions are more important than rules." Beyond that, he is a ninja who carries out missions and teaches his students. The closest he's come to acting for himself was in seeking revenge for Asuma alongside Shikamaru and the others.

Everyone in Naruto has their own aspirations and goals, but I am at a loss as to what Kakashi truly desires. He seems indifferent to becoming Hokage and isn’t malevolent like Orochimaru. Instead, he consistently listens to Konoha's needs and accepts various demands. From this perspective, he truly resembles a "tool."

I prefer the younger version of Kakashi. After the deaths of Obito and Rin, he underwent significant changes. I believe that after these events, his only will to live became about passing on the Sharingan and the ideals of friendship. He foresaw the future using the talents of his friends and educated Konoha's youth with their will. Ultimately, these became the entirety of Kakashi's life's meaning.
