[Guy is clearly aware of what others say about him, but he always smiles at it the same way his dad did.
[Over time, that shaped him into the bright, endlessly goofy rare beast we all know.
[Really, his level of silliness is beyond ridiculous.
[Let me give you some typical examples:
[When he goes on missions, he actually brings someone just to cook.
[Seriously~ not only does he carry that burden, but he also makes the old man stand while he sits.
[He barely uses the Eight Gates technique for fighting but uses it for rowing a boat or beating up teammates instead.
[Every time he goes on a mission with his apprentice, he insists on clapping stupidly together.
[If he's not satisfied, he just keeps going "mm mm mm" like a fool.
[This kind of weirdness—there's nothing he can't do—gives him an unbeatable sense of security.
[That's why he's usually joking around but always incredibly reliable when it counts.
[Think back carefully—anytime Guy is around, don't you get that steady, sure feeling?]
"Guy really does give off a very reassuring vibe, but..."
In the Third Hokage timeline, Kakashi Hatake, who had to deal with him, feels exhausted just thinking about Guy's bizarre behaviors on missions.
Sure, Guy is dependable, but dealing with him is seriously tiring.
Not only do you have to focus on the mission, but you also have to put up with Guy's nonsense.
Kakashi: I really have it tough.
Now in the Fifth Hokage timeline.
Kakashi with the double Kamui has a different opinion from his Third timeline self.
"I used to be speechless about Guy's weird actions, but now, I'm starting to understand him."
Hearing this, Obito, standing nearby, looked puzzled and asked, "Understand what?"
Pointing at Guy on the screen, who was giving Neji and Tenten a strange smile, he continued, "I really don't get it. How can you understand those behaviors? Am I crazy, or are you?"
"Obito."
Kakashi turned around, smiling as he looked at Obito and said, "You must be crazy. Everyone in Konoha knows I, Hatake Kakashi, am the calmest and smartest ninja."
Obito opened his mouth to argue, but seeing Tsunade constantly giving him a look, he simply closed it, not wanting to debate with Kakashi.
He could tell something was off about Kakashi right now.
And he had some guesses about why Kakashi had changed like this, though he was reluctant to admit it.
"No way. It definitely isn't because of my Sharingan."
"It must be that Kakashi is usually reserved and keeps things inside. Now that the ninja world is starting to find peace, he's finally letting loose."
"Yeah, it must be that."
[During his first fight with Itachi, Guy showed great adaptability and strategies on the spot. Because he often sparred with Kakashi, he developed his own unique way to handle the Sharingan in battle.]
[That was Guy avoiding eye contact, able to steady his vision even in fast-paced fights, which scared Itachi enough to admit defeat.]
[What does this show? It shows that Kakashi often used his Sharingan in duels, which means Kakashi was really pressured.]
"Oh? Fighting by lowering your gaze and not looking at the Sharingan?"
In the Second Hokage's time space, Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, showing great respect for Guy's fighting method.
Everyone knows that when fighting Uchiha, the best tactic is not to look at their Sharingan.
But while it's easy to say, it's hard to do.
Guy was able to force Itachi back using this method thanks to his long experience battling Kakashi.
Of course, Guy's own taijutsu skill was also an essential part.
Beside him, Izuna also somewhat approved of Guy's fighting style, though he understood its drawbacks.
"His way of fighting only works against those who rely on the Sharingan alone. For a fully developed Uchiha, this kind of fighting would actually be harmful."
"Izuna, you're right. But how many Uchiha are truly fully developed? After awakening the Sharingan, most Uchiha start relying on it and neglect other training. That's just human nature."
"Big brother is right. There are too many mediocre people in the world, not everyone is a genius."
[Looking at all of Guy's battles, Kisame is definitely the enemy he's most connected to.]
[Coincidentally, Guy's major missions were all against him.]
[They met three times in total, but each time Guy couldn't remember Kisame's name.]
[The first time, after a brief encounter, Itachi called Kisame to retreat.]
[The second time, Guy used Eight Gates and instantly defeated him—but it was a clone created by the Shapeshifting Technique, not the real Kisame.]
[The third meeting was confusing; whether Guy mistook him for Kisame or Madara, it left Kisame speechless.]
[Guy's face blindness is ridiculous; no wonder he once kicked Jiraiya like a madman.]
[But Kakashi, of all people, Guy wishes he could remember in the Ninth Gate of the Eight Gates.]
[Once, when Kakashi forcefully disguised himself to cause trouble, Guy somehow sensed it without knowing why.]
[That's love right there. This strange memory and exaggerated behavior even earned Guy the title of "rare beast" from the Tailless Beast Kisame.]
During the Third Hokage's time, everyone looked at Kakashi with strange expressions, and Asuma, the prankster friend, even whistled.
"I understand. After the video ends, I'll go kill Guy to prove my innocence."
"Hehe."
Asuma sneered, "Let's not even talk about whether you can beat Guy with the Eight Gates opened. Even if Guy cares about you and doesn't open the gates, do you really have the heart to kill him?"
"Spare me the 'caring' nonsense. Can you not use such disgusting words?"
Kakashi took a disgusted step back, distancing himself from Asuma.
At that moment, Orochimaru, not one to avoid trouble, said, "Your love with Guy moved me, so I've decided to help by cloning a female body for either you or Guy—for free. Go back and discuss who wants it."
"Hahaha, Orochimaru, you did well."
"As expected of you, Orochimaru."
"Lord Hokage, Lady Tsunade, you both..."
Kakashi watched Tsunade and Jiraiya, who looked like they were having fun at his expense, and felt utterly miserable.
Instinctively, he glanced at his father, hoping for some support.
Unexpectedly, facing Kakashi's gaze, Sakumo Hatake whistled and turned his head, mumbling, "Leave the mission of expanding the Hatake clan to me. Kakashi, you just go live happily with Guy."
Damn, can't even rely on your own father.
In a world like this, better to just destroy the shinobi world.
Kakashi: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
