gai always understood.
That’s why he was able to relate and reach out to kakashi, guys. He lost his dad too. That smile, that fervor to do better and to never allow anything insubstantial to hold him back—It was never because he was stupid. It was always because he knew what it took to carry on and be a competent shinobi.
can we just take a second to appreciate how fucking amazing Gai is
