Aww I was hoping we roll something like a 100 on chakra training. Well good for Kakashi anyways, he needs the help.

Retirement:
(Kakashi POV)
You took several breaths before the final buzz hit you, and the terror went away. The mission was over, the enemy was dead.
"Dog, you alright?" Cat asked as you stopped your heavy labored breaths.
You realized where you were right now… you were back at HQ. The battlefield was far far away. So many missions… so little rest.
You slumped against the wall, closing your eyes as you calm yourself down. You were starting to lose your grip… your touch.
Or was it because you couldn't stop thinking about that boy. Shiro.
You had done some surveillance on the kid, with what little free time you still had with your duties here in ANBU.
He was… a gentle child, at least that was the vibes that you got off of him. A gentle child who seemed very capable, despite the first few years of life without the use of his arms.
He was kind, and open, both with himself and to others. He was… far better than he ought to be. That boy, humiliated, picked on, and pitied by his clan… nevertheless had an empathy with him that made him… not care about what others thought about him.
That boy, was good. Far too good for the rotten world that he inhabited.
He listened… when others did not care. He waited, and came forward, when others ignored, and saw weakness, that boy came forward, and understood.
You hadn't felt that way since before Obito died… since Rin died. He did not judge, did not hide his displeasure or fear.
Shiro Hyuga… just listened. He listened and said words that made you feel alive again. Like all the tragedy you have suffered in your life was going to be okay in the end.
But it was in his words that you see what you had become. A broken, hollowed out, a husk of a man, waiting to die, to see his friends again, after so long.
It was something you always were since your father died. And it sickened you… It made you wish to rage against your father's cowardness, of him stealing his own life instead of trying to make amends for his mistakes.
But that was a road you long since traveled… all you felt was sadness. The lessons you learned from Rin, and Obito, and Minato showed you one important thing.
It was impossible to live this life alone, to wall yourself up and never let anyone inside.
It was too exhausting… to… You didn't know the words.
But you made your choice. And would have to live with it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lord Hokage." You said quietly, as you walked into his office. All the guards were in their positions, and all relaxed when they saw it was just you.
Minato-Sensei looked up from his paperwork. "Yes Dog?" He asked, instinctively. "Do you have a report for me? Or is this a social call like at the party?"
You removed your mask and handed over the paperwork. Your resignation from ANBU.
Minato-Sensei looked down at the paperwork. "I see. Very well." He replied with a small smile rising on his lips. "Why the sudden change of heart? If you don't mind me asking?"
You sighed. "I… don't know." You thought back to the boy, and your friend's ghosts standing beside you… standing by him. "I've had my fill."
Minato-Sensei nodded. "Very well Kakashi." He saw the other paperwork beneath your resignation forms. "Medical leave?"
"I-" You paused. "I'd rather be fully healthy, before I continue with my duties sir, and get another physical evaluation."
Minato-Sensei nodded again. "Very well… dismissed."
You vanished from the office with a gust of leaves. You knew Minato and the other guards would not have minded that sudden exit.
They owed you that much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You went to the only place where someone still cared about you.
You knocked on the door, and Might Gai answered, still shaking off the sleep from his eyes. "Kakashi?" He said confused and unsure of what to say next. "What are you doing here?" He asked, as he finally gathered his nerve.
"Gai… can I stay the night here?" You asked. There was nowhere else for you to go.
Not anymore.
"Sure Kakashi." Gai said your name without the youthful energy he always had. He understood what you needed.
A warm bed, and a friend to talk to.
Reward: Kakashi has resigned from ANBU and is on leave for a little while. Minato is secretly relieved.
AN: Enjoy this drastic change in canon.

Besides Kakashi getting better, his resignation actually doesn't seem that drastic. I mean, he DOES resign in canon at SOME point, and it's not like he's stopping being a ninja all together. I'm not aware of any Important Stuff he did between the 3rd War and Canon

Vaguely debates if shipping this is a thing to do....
The awkward moment when a machine given flesh seems to have more empathy then most of the general population. Not sure what people's opinions on helping the main characters like naruto are but by god we might be able to give them a little normalcy if we show them some kindness.

Hey... sometimes all you need to do is give a little empathy and people will follow you to the depths of hell, and protect you with your life.
I mean it would have solved quite a few problems if someone just showed these people a little bit of kindness and talked about it, also if someone had slapped them when they were being idiots ( looking at you Sasuke).
On a semi related to interacting with source characters, if Hinata fall in love with Naruto in quest I am so gonna vote to push them together. The idea of our mechanical like PC being a shiplord is amusing to me.

Like I said, we have super powers!
The power of Empathy will make all who follow us stronger then Ninja Jesus!
I mean, it's all well and good to recognize sexual tension... but we should let the chips fall where they may... because by god... I don't want us to Be Fanon Ozpin!
Friendship for the win. Seriously tho I do wonder who we are gonna form a social circle with.
I mean depending on if you are gonna use it or not wasn't it stated at some point nartuo didn't think he deserved Hinata's affection and so ignored it or something? Letting the chips fall where they may is good sometimes but if we are going with the no real confidence in himself nartuo I vote we step right in.

i know it's a bit hypocritical considering my views on Yuri, but i rather pair him with a woman.
There's a lot of girls that could do with a Kakashi in their lives...
indeed. Proof in case : Orochimaru. It's pretty heavily implied that that is how he made his village out of orphans and other misfits. Well... that and being too fucking terrifying to betray.

Part of me wants our PC to become the ultimate shiplord and then one day when people realise we don't have a special someone in our life and try to set us up with someone we just skip that step and clone ourselves a son to get ahead of everyone else.

Kakashi and Itachi... Let the Genius Trio Comence!
Knowing Kakashi's swagger, if he were more emotionally stable, he's have smashed em and left a trail of bastards in his wake. He's that smooth.
Orochimaru did nothing wrong!
... Fine... I'll create an action down the line.
Spoilers.
i will not tell you what it is.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves yet, if we roll poorly it could be the genius duo and that one guy who's really awkward.
I mean we could get a waifu in the future and do it the good old fashioned way but I don't know many people in universe who would go for a robotic scientist ( who might actually end up being one of the best people when ti comes to social if we keep this up).

Hey, Kakashi isn't awkward, he's just a traumatized Child soldier, with a guilty conscious and survivors guilt.
... You mean like Orochimaru?
Well yes, he proves it was possible so we would be pulling a Orochimaru. I just hope if we go down the science route we can avoid become as big a monster as he did.

Don't think you wanted carying here
Seems to be missing a word
Probably shouldn't have a paragraph break if Itachi is still speaking
Does this meet that we have a +30 to joining, or +30 to our actions in the academy?
I don't think there is a graveyard there canonically. It's just a memorial stone
Didn't need the first "conflicting"
Everyone that's important in Naruto is a child soldier, or a grown up child soldier
Not that big of a qualifier there
Edit: good seeing you doing a Naruto quest again, even if it means the other one is dead.
A bit salty we never got our payoff in being Kakashi's mom in that one, but everything got really crazy towards the end.
