With Gentle Hands And The Heart Of A Fighter - Tumblr Posts
have elijah haters ever stopped to consider that he’s a single mom who works two jobs? who loves her kids and never stops?
All of this while being the single mother to a child with adhd, dyslexia, and crippling abandonment issues, AND a SECOND JOB working ADMINISTRATION for idiots who stop going to school at TWELVE!
This is why for the 2024 election I am voting for Iruka umi-
I see your (general) “Kakashi expects children to be half as smart as he was at that age” AU and raise you a “Kakashi thinks children are way dumber than they actually are” AU. His only in-person experiences with pre genin are himself, a year at the academy, and Naruto.
So he’s convinced that Iruka is some kind of god for wrangling 17 half-feral children (and Naruto) into real human beings who can read and write and use chopsticks and deadly weapons. Yes, clan children probably learn a bit before, but still.
Kakashi: can’t believe you taught them almost everything they know
Iruka: I didn’t??
Kakashi: I watched you turn 18 hellions into mostly functional members of society
Iruka: most of my kids were well behaved
Kakashi: they absolutely were not, I once saw baby Shino bite Chouji and Hinata took out Gai’s kneecaps because he stood still long enough for her to catch him
