He was still there for him mentally and physically when everyone else wasn't. Take it up your @ss.Iruka? same guy who couldn't control a child naruto? lmfao, you smoking something good.
Iruka can't compare to kakashi, who was there for naruto and sakura(random fodder) the whole story and tried his best for sasuke.
Being there for the entire story doesn't mean jack shii. Obviously he was there for plot and for his fanbase, and Kishi's purpose. That doesn't automatically make him the best just because we know more and he gets more screen time.
That's an @ss way of forcing your opinion on me and I despise that entirely.
