I Hate That They Didn’t Give Him A Baddie At Eos - Blog Posts

Kakashi's "anonymous" review of the Icha Icha books from the 2nd official Naruto databook.

"all the important things I had forgotten as I grew up".

Despite being "surprisingly domestic" and "full of passion on the inside" like Kishimoto described him in the databooks.

Kakashi doesn't think that he deserves these things because everyone he cared about died and he blames himself for it all, how can he get close to anyone when everything he touches dies because of him? so he spent years pushing people away starting from Sakumo's death when he was just a child, his only goal was to protect his people and village and not let what happened to the people he lost happens to anyone else. So Icha Icha is so important to him because it's the only thing that makes him feel and experience the things he denied himself through the characters of the story.
