4. Kakashi’s Karma for Being Late: Finally, He Knows How It Feels to Wait

As someone who frequently made others wait by arriving late, Kakashi finally experienced the consequences of his own actions. This time, he got a taste of what it felt like to wait for someone who was running late—Naruto.

As Kakashi was nearing the end of his term as the Sixth Hokage of Konoha Village, he had already made plans to enjoy a peaceful, laid-back life soaking in hot springs. However, before he could fully embrace his peaceful retirement, he had to deal with a frustrating situation.

Naruto, who was supposed to be inaugurated as the Seventh Hokage of Konoha, had not shown up at the ceremony, even though the entire village had gathered to welcome their new Hokage.

Kakashi’s confusion grew when Hinata approached him, holding the robe of the Seventh Hokage. Hinata had also just learned that Naruto had not arrived at the event. As a result, Kakashi, who was in charge of leading the inauguration ceremony, began to panic. The problem was not just that Naruto was late—he was entirely absent from his own Hokage inauguration.
