[Discussion] Is Kakashi's absence symbolic to Naruto's growth?

[TheSageOfNinetails]

Kakashi has been "missing" from the fight for a long time now, stuck in the Kamui dimension waiting for his chakra to return to a level suitable to get back and fight, but is his absence symbolic to Naruto's growth as a ninja?

In almost every fight, Naruto has had a superior of some sort backing him up, or vice versa, whether it be Kakashi, Yamato, etc.

But now that Kakashi is no longer in the fight, for now, Naruto has had to "fend for himself" so to speak.

Granted his father and the other Kage are there, Naruto is pretty much fighting this fight with the help of his friends alone, or the next generation of Village superiors.

Do you think this is in some way symbolic to Naruto's and the other Shinobi's growth to no longer need assistance from their teachers, and they can now leave the Village's to them without any worries.

This is just sometyhing I've been pondering as to why kakashi has been gone for so long now.

But let me know what you guys think.

( Provide reasoning for any further arguements , don't just say something with no support to it )

Nah...

You're just overthinking it. :c

 

[TheSageOfNinetails]

Nah...

You're just overthinking it. :c

Eh, probably, but like I said, it's just a thought.

Use a premium avatar.You are thinking way too much on this.,

Interesting point of view, now thinking on it makes sense in some way the next genertaion has been pulling the weight pretty much on the own since hq was destroyed they quick set up a new way of communicating construct a plan of attack kept the alliance moral up in bad time and that was before the kages had arrive so yes they have shown there growth and skills and show that they are ready to lead...

 

[End of Days]

the last thing kakashi said to naruto "Naruto take care of things here"

 

[Yellow Shunpo]

if it was just him and his peers i would agree but he has a whole army and zombie hokages and the gokages fighting with him.

 

[UchihaObito]

Naruto took down Pain by himself.. and Kakashi died before the fight even happened.

 

[altaire uchiha]

I think youre right, Kakashi isnt there because its another "the kids surpass the previous generation" cliche.

I think it would have had alot more meaning if this had been a costly struggle for Naruto and a test of his wit and cunning rather than his power level automatically rising to meet whatever challenge hes faced with such as in the Shikamaru vs Hidan story, or Naruto vs Neji. Uphill struggles are interesting and build character. This is just Naruto being arrogant and bossing up everybody like Neo in the matrix. It could do without the corny saturday morning cartoon everybody help out theme.

 

[UchihaNagashi]

Things to do list.

1) You're definitely overthinking. Roll a blunt bro.

2) Get a prem. avatar. What's the point of buying a prem. if you won't use it to it's fullest?

3) Now smoke that chit.

4) You're in heaven.

but naruto created 90% plans like defeat juuito.

 

[altaire uchiha]

but naruto created 90% plans like defeat juuito.

He isnt "creating plans." He just knows exactly what to do and does it, theres a difference. Hes omnipotent almost. Thats why its not interesting. Obito is too, which is why it makes no sense that hes being beaten so easily.

 

[YellowFang]

In presence of Kakashi, Naruto usually relied on him for tactical assistance...
Now, that Kakashi is gone and Naruto is still carrying on his tactics means he has grown up and matured a lot...

 

[nite]

That and i also think to prevent a kamui hax. kakashi with yin/yang Kurama cloak. with obito unable to use kamui.

Kishi could be doing this to prevent the " now that kakashi is back why didnt he just "seal" obito in kamui dimension to get the war over with"

with obito out of picture, have hashi trap madara and kamui him as well.
game set match SA.

 

[2nd hokage]

Yeah I think your right and on the naruto is not using tactics comments and he is over powered. Who's the next sage ok yeah so what do you want. Naruto is top 5 all time strongest his tnj is used so he doesn't just obliterate any opponents. The sage is a monk so he is trying to use peaceful ways of change. Back to topic. Yeah again I agree it is showing the growth of the next generation

 

[Honord Sage]

Its ben Naruto inspiring and directing the fight for some many chapters now. Naruto's growth and Maturity can't be denied,its their for all to see.

 

[Naijakid]

Yes maybe..

 

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

It's symbolic to the fact that HE SHOULD BE DEAD.

WHY WON'T YOU DIE KAKASHI OMFG PLEASE WHY

 

[Naruto.]

Kishi is currently focusing on Naruto and Obito for now. That's why we haven't seen Madara or Hashirama for the past few chapters. He'll slowly focus on them and then Kakashi when the right time comes.

Lol Kakashi is Kishi's pet, he will never die !
