Smooth, heartbreaking imagery. I never read far enough to hear all of Kakashi's backstory, but this fills in the gaps quite well enough to understand.

On a random note, as a nascent translator, it always makes me blink to see the way Naruto fansubs use "precious people" for taisetsu na hito. I realize it's the literal translation, but English already has such a natural phrase to express the same concept...."loved ones".
