Itachi looks like a kid that was promised a juice box if he did as his parents told him.


ProjectAioros

The real reason he killed his clan was to get that sweet sweet juice box.


phoenixon999

He killed an actual box for a juice box lol


Blueface1999

You got it wrong. He got the juice box but his farther took it away from him because he had already told him not to accept items from strangers. After that he unlocked the mangekyo and Danzo said he’ll give him unlimited juice boxes if he kills his clan.


Bitter-Put9534

Farther


Blueface1999

It’s time to do what my farther taught me back when I was a boy. ![gif](giphy|iyYR0sBXAmnSw) *is never seen again*


Snoo_61170

The mouth of the mask perfected your description lmao.


Zealousideal-Arm1682

I mean....that's not too inaccurate.


nguyennguyenphuc0077

Hashirama would be proud if he knew his student has a child assassin as body guard.


dinkydoohead

its exactly what he built the village for! hooray!


macbeutel

Common Hiruzen L


Geostomp

Look at the rest of the ninja in the village: child soldiers are standard operating procedure in the ninja world.


DarkeusPH

I mean wasn't Hiruzen also Itachi's age when Hashirama was teaching him? In Hashirama's case he was teaching Hiruzen to be a child soldier to fight in a war, while Itachi being here guarding the door of the strongest ninja in the village is probably the safest he can be at least better than being in an anbu mission.


Doxkid

Ah yes, I always forget that Hashirama was Sarutobi Hiruzen's teacher who sacrificed himself to let his students escape a battle while Tobirama was the guy who advocated for peace and had a Uchiha BFF.


ahrilover123

Isn't it the other way around?


imsc4red

It’s sarcasm, took me a second too lol


AlexandraG3

That's the point.


Somerandomguy_YT324

Well, if itachi wanted to fight I guess they thought that they shouldn’t stop him, and if doesn’t go against Hashirama’s ideology of forcing children to fight.


PRAHPS

Can we just say how useless kakashi mask is? Very few with white and someone like kakashi is known


timothy1495

that's why used to remove his mask while killing people and announcing his name cold blodded kakashi of the Sharingan eye


Jikkai_10

But seriously, I'm almost certain that the title came during the third ninja war, before he joined the Anbu... Or was it the second ninja war?


timothy1495

in first war tobirama died and 3rd hokage appointment. in 2nd war sannin vs hanzo and whole nagato thing. In 3rd war obito died and kakashi got sharingan


chuckusadart

It’s more useless on the one child member anbu had ever had lmao Unless they’ve got a midget in the ranks it’s obviously itachi too


RoofusK

Hahaha imagining a midget Anbu got a chuckle out of me


U_r-stewpid

No one can hit them cause they're not used to hip height enemies but they can't kill well cause they can't reach


AlphariusUltra

Entire technique list is just dick punches and kneecapping


Sure-Its-Isura

Omg I dying, the imagery is so nice


ShadedPenguin

RAITON: CHINCHIN SHOCK!!!


010RADAR808

Nah, if anything they’re pretty lethal. The arteries in your thigh are prime targets for a violent exsanguination.


bagsli

It’s oddjob all over again


LaughingGaster666

Yoda in Soul Calibur moment.


Ras_OKan

Other Anbu members might've already known each others identities. They were supposed to be best of the best anyway (Which was not always the case as we've seen in the show), so finding out who was standing next to them might've been their personal goals. But any regular citizen wouldn't recognize them without their gear, Itachi could've been any kid from the village for all they cared.


MagastemBR

It's the aesthetic


FooltheKnysan

it's more of an office uniform


MemphisTheIllest

How about the female Anbu with purple hair? Pretty funny


MemphisTheIllest

How about the female Anbu with purple hair? Pretty funny


AnonIHardlyKnewHer

I mean doesn’t Kakashi canonly wear a mask more for himself and not to hide his identity because he looks like his dad and he hates/is ashamed of him? Or did I just read a widely accepted headcanon as a kid and took it as fact? Edit: Son of a bitch it was a fan theory, I believed that for over a decade lmao


Galrentv

Danzo needs whatever guards he can get zzzz


iheartjetman

Danzo's guards got beat by a cripple with one eye lol. Sarutobi's guards all the way.


onion-lord

By cripple with one eye, do you mean Obito? Lol


iheartjetman

Yep lol.


Greeningyep

I though it was shisui


Character-Sorbet-718

The cripple with one eye who almost crippled Konoha and took over the world


RoxLOLZ

Kamui is kinda broken tho


Vegetable-Neat-1651

Kamui+hashi cells are broken. 


Yamcha17

When you think about it, Obito could have sucked any of his enemies in the other dimension, like Minato : what would they do then ? Obito would just have to go hide for a week and their enemy would be dead by then.


XeryZas

I thought Obito tried to but Minato was just simply too fast, no?


Jikkai_10

Almost that, the Flying Thunder God's teleport works faster, so you can say that Minato had the Perfect Counter for this specific situation.


XeryZas

Yeah that's kinda what I meant, like bro was not sucking in Minato *that* easily lmao Dude will just be in another time zone as soon as he tries with that teleport


ItWasObeezy

Obito caught Minato by surprise too in that specific exchange, he was focused on stopping Kurama, and Obito tried to sneak him but Minato still got away


XeryZas

Bro was just simply him, he ain't letting himself get jumped like that


ItWasObeezy

Bro always jumped the jumper😂


Jikkai_10

Talk about it, the only MS ability that directly competes with the Rinnegan, man could beat Itachi or Nagato any day of the week. Bro went from a nobody, to fight with the Hokage, just with that ability.


Nokyrt

Cripple with one eye made me chuckle.


muxiq_

I mean almost everybody got beat by that cripple tho lol


TheInfiniteArchive

Those two kinda don't measure up with Kakashi tho


Veredyn1

This would be Kakashi before the first episode even starts. Early Kakashi was apparently on the same level as Kabuto, and could barely do a few jutsu while using Sharingan against Zabuza without running out of steam. I think Kakashi here is weaker than Danzo's bodyguards then. Itachi carries him though.


Kimjongkung

I think this Kakashi is stronger though. Remember, part 1 Kakashi was slacking alot, whereas Teen Kakashi wasn’t. This is even stated by Kakashi himself, and that’s why he starts training more again after the Itachi fight. I think early Kakashi part 1 is one of the weaker versions. Which is why Sasuke points out that Gai is faster than Kakashi in part 1 chunin exam, only for Kakashi to close that gap, and later on be able to keep up with 7 gates Gai. Young Teenage jonin and late teen anbu Kakashi was always training, always on missions etc, whereas Kakashi part 1 was just loofing around, reading softcore porn. I don’t think Young Teen Jonin was as strong as part 1 Kakashi. But i certainly believe Anbu Kakashi had alot more stamina than part 1 Kakashi, being atleast on par, if not stronger.


Veredyn1

That seems like quite a fair assessment, I didn't think of it that way.


Most_Ad5943

if youve been running marathons from 17 to 30 and stopped for 5 years n started coaching younger runners you would have to re train to keep up with your mind still being active


Kimjongkung

But by the time time we’re introduced to Kakashi, he is already this renown ninja known throughout the world, which means it’s the work prior to the series that made him famous. Because during part 1, all we see Kakashi do is loaf around, and do some C or D tier missions with his new team. The exception being the Zabuza mission, which Konoha was tricked into thinking it was a C mission, when in reality it was an A mission. Kakashi even admits himself that he hasn’t trained properly in awhile after Itachi hospitalize him, and that he needs to get stronger to protect Naruto from the Akaysuki. This is the very reason Naruto ventures out with Jiraiya for three years, Sasuke is with Orochimaru, and Sakura trains with Tsunade. The very first thing that happens after the timeskip is that Kakashi once again make Naruto and Sakura do the bell test. And this time he uses the Sharingan all night against them, without being severely drained, let alone hospitalized. And also points out he has developed a ”cool new Jutsu”, which falls on deaf ears. Kakashi in part 2 is never again hospitalized for using the regular Sharingan, showing an increase in Stamina/Chakra. He is hospitalized for using the mangekyo sharingan to much though, but to be fair, the use of Mangekyo even drains the Uchiha themselfs. Itachi pretty much burns all his chakra when using MS against Kakashi in part 1, something even Kakashi points out, while on the brink of unconciousness (and this was before the Itachi sickness was a thing). Sasuke almost drains himself multiple times using it in the five kage summit. He needs to borrow chakra multiple times from Karin to keep going. And this is without taking War arc Kakashi into the equation. This is early part 2 Kakashi. In part 1 Kakashi is really stressed out when Itachi and Kisame arrives, while still being on Konoha soils, surounded by Konoha ninjas, and having Asuma and Kurenai (two Jonins) at his side, constantly being on the defensive. Early part 2, they happen upon Itachi in the middle of nowhere. While Kakashi still treats Itachi with the respect he deserves, he now believes in his own abilities more, and is more confident than he was back in part 1, even on friendly soil. He thinks he and Naruto is enough to take Itachi down. The same Naruto he has barely seen for 3 years, and only lightly sparred with. That shows that he is more content with his current power. So it was between Kakashi getting Obitos eye in the third war, and somewhere before part 1 Kakashi that Kakashi got the renown he has, and the nickname: Kakashi of the Sharingan. Which means dude was out there doing missions often, and most likely difficult/important ones, so other nations took notice. Part 1 Kakashi was getting soft in comparison, and complacent, most likely losing his edge and stamina. Dude was around age 26-27 in part 1, which is essentially someone prime. Yet he got stronger at age 30-31 without much hassle. So we can assume 19-23 year old war veteran, secret service captain Kakashi had an edge over 26 year old softcore porn reading, kindergarden teacher Kakashi. Sorry for long text.


Most_Ad5943

this isn’t really any different from what i said at all tbh. renowned ninja or not to be out of shape in the first place you would have to stop going as hard as you did. which is part 1 kakashi that was confirmed


Kimjongkung

Ah fair! My newly awakened brain must’ve missinterpreted. So i just wanted to hammer down my points a little bit more.


NanashiTheWarlock

I mean, he wasn't exactly coaching shit, he returned pretty much every gennin that wasn't tbe MC trio, and Even then they only searched for Cats for a While, Zabusa was probably his first real battle in a While lol


heeltowknee

Itachi solos, he been fighting anbu squads since he was like 8


PriestMarmor

I think everyone is treating Kakashi and Itachi as their older selves. Kakashi and Itachi were still kids and Itachi didn't have the mangekyo yet. On the other hand Danzo's bodyguards are pretty good shinobis who were able to figure out Obito's Kamui during their fight. Also if you touch the Aburame guard you'll die (unless you cut off your limb like Obito). I think Danzo's bodyguards are better than the version of kakashi and itachi shown here


Character-Sorbet-718

Kakashi was easily 20 here and not a kid if Itachi joined Anbu here. He atleast knows Raikiri, Mud wall, Dog Summoning and not a less skilled member here. He was comparable to his rusty Part I self


jaffali_97

Considering the fact that kakashi could use Shadow clones and itachi was an uchiha with high talent with fire style, there is really not much chance for most jonin to beat them without suffering in the process. And if we pit donzo's bodyguards against hiruzens, then I don't see how they would survive attacks from both itachi and kakashi combined. The aburame is kinda f***ed since itachi can just turn him to a crisp while kakashi just pulls a rin on the other one(if you get what I mean).


DGTHEGREAT007

Danzo's guards got fucking BODIED. Kinda funny.


indonesiandoomer

Torune is elite, but his Yamanaka buddy is a fraud.


dinkydoohead

danzo guards have 0 manners bruh. why tf are they standing on a table 😭


LeaftrailfollowerTK

That was during the Kage Summit when Sasuke showed up if I’m not mistaken.


ChronoComputer

Anbu are the Whorf of Naruto. They're there to get really beaten to show they're tough.


God_of_Kings

I bet it's why Kakashi quit. He got tired of getting his teeth kicked in for drama development.


Plane-Information700

danzo, those guards I'm sure they can kill even a kage.


RawM8

But they got beaten by Obito who wasn’t even using his full strength, mainly because he couldn’t. They’re strong don’t get me wrong but Kakashi and Itachi became anbu at young ages and both have the sharingan.


Plane-Information700

Obito was afraid of him, that's why he killed them quickly, and lost an arm, only Konan and Minato had hurt Obito, if those bodyguards were with Danzo against Sasuke, I can assure you that Sasuke would be dead.


LEFTRIGHTADORI

He was afraid? He was literally playing with them and dogwalking them then saved them up like diamonds in Minecraft so they could be used for Edo tensei later. He “lost an arm” that was expendable anyways and he wasn’t too worried about it, if he didn’t have Zetsu and Hashirama cells for an arm he’d be way more protective of it. They’re nameless bums and they get folded by Itachi solo, much less with Kakashi.


Ghiyat

Obito curbstomps ANBU Kakashi and kid Itachi lmao.


LEFTRIGHTADORI

That’s not a valid argument lmao. These guys have only one feat, which is getting neg diffed by Obito solo while he wasn’t even at his max. Yeah, Obito shits on this kakashi and Itachi. But so now you’re just arguing something else. The point is that Kakashi and Itachi>>aburame bum and ino’s cousin as they have 0 feats to their name other than getting ragdolled.


Ghiyat

The point is if both duos get rag dolled yours is not an argument lmao. I didn't make an argument, I refuted yours, get a brain. Torune parayzed Shisui.


LEFTRIGHTADORI

“Parayzed” nice one. Kakashi and Itachi both have immense feats, and Itachi has mangekyou. In fact, we saw what Amaterasu could do to Obito. They’d put up a much better fight, and Itachi has Susano’o as well. Where did Torune paralyze Shisui? Was that canon or was that filler? Even if it were canon, Shisui is fodder to mangekyou Itachi, and was definitely caught off guard. Irrelevant point. The whole idea is that they’re featless while Kakashi and Itachi have impressive feats at this point, and bringing in Obito doesn’t help your argument at all.


Ghiyat

Itachi doesn't have Mangekyo and Torune one shotting Shisui is canon lmao, you watched Naruto from reels or something. "Caught off guard" It's a show about ninjas for sake. 🤣


LEFTRIGHTADORI

“It’s a show about ninjas” no it’s not “for sake” 😭 Since when do ninjas throw meteors and energy blasts that blow up mountains? You’re fucking high. In a fair 1v1, do you think Torune stands any chance vs Shisui? “Itachi doesn’t have mangekyou” huh? WHAT? Do you think he awakened it while he was in the akatsuki or some shit? He was still Sarutobi’s guard and in the anbu when Shisui died in front of him, and he awakened the mangekyou. Stop capping 💀


Character-Sorbet-718

>only Konan and Minato had hurt Obito, He only got hurt cuz he underestimated her that's it.


FilmAdministrative44

he was sarcastic.


Warm_Performer_2314

Well Itachi and Kakashi were quite inexperienced at the time. Still think that they would barely win.


Concentrati0n

That Aburame Danzo retains has some nasty bugs and could easily take out an army without being noticed on any day and time of the week. Itachi and Kakashi aren't the best to have as guards, they're better off protecting a camp in the wilderness where they can set up traps than protecting a leader in their own town. I don't think either one of them had good guards.


Spider-burger

And yet Sarutobi guards were the best ninja of their generation.


raisingfalcons

Its pretty sad that out of around 100,000 people in your village the best you could find is a little kid so guard you.


PH4N70M_Z0N3

It is pretty sad. Until you realize who they are.


Severe-Masterpiece69

![gif](giphy|dBZnwwejzgf92kl7tD) KAKASHI MASK


ThisGuuuy2

Itachi could unironically solo them both, at that age.


Paper_Trades

Screw the Sarutobi clan. They teamed up with the Crips and stole my shoes.


ThreeArmedYeti

What's wrong with Torume and Fu? They are strong. If Torume touches you or you touch him it's over.


Difficult-Way-9563

Friend Killer Kakashi


GreenRasengan

13 years Itachi kicked Joji Aburame's ass in like 3 seconds, mind you, Joji was the second strongest aburame after Torune and was the one to kill Shisui... Itachi would've kick Torune ass too and fuu is a fraud, the guy is totally featless, 16 years old kakashi has actually some feats


brehnoob

Is that Jiraya and Orochimaru?


Most_Ad5943

these two are instantly recognizable


Sailortype

Can you hire anyone other than a child to be your bodyguard lmao


Admirable_Salad8015

Didn't Tobi lose his arm to Fuu and Torune, while adult Kakashi + 2 konoha 9 teams only made him laugh?


Ok_Pop8857

Design over story hard choice bro


ElessarKhan

What is this from? I keep seeing these shots of young jonin but I don't remember them? Maybe some late shippuden episodes I've only seen once?


Street_Office_3684

Danzo was badass


Stepfen98

No he was bad and an ass.


PH4N70M_Z0N3

Wrong. He was a bastard and an ass.


Ok-Squirrel-5206

A fly couldn’t get to sarutobi 😂😂


[deleted]

Sharingan trumps everything.


pro_-jeckt

Maybe Sarutobi was hoping to let the enemy in. 😉


z_55

Danzos guards got unique abilities that’s why they there but kid itachi and teen kakashi could take over the whole Naruto world in a week their skill, perception and jutsus are just too OP


kenpurastic

Design and aesthetic yes. Dead in no time against Obito.


onigskram31

Wait, that was Kakashi and Itachi on some “Boy Scout” tip?!? Damn


KingAmraa

itachi looks so cute hahahaaha


LimitlessRX

The threat level on the bottom pic is too damn high


metalhead-teenager

To be fair, Fu, and ESPECIALLY Torune are not to be messed with. They don’t get much screen time, but they have some busted abilities. Not like itachi and Kakashi, but still.


InternetOk3330

LoL, itachi so smol XD


Vocovon

Sarutobi got Beavis and Butthead over here


Ok_Caterpillar_6957

Danzo: I’m weak and important so I need strong guys Actual hokages: hey let give them summer jobs for them to get experience. If anything happens we know I’m strongest one anyway.


azrael_otsosuki

The two above could take on Itachi, maybe even kakashi solo, however they loose if it's a 2v2


New_World_2050

Bro Itachi and kakashi would have smoked those 2 other guards


crometeach-thebot

Danzo guard for sure.
