[ Kakashi dips his head in a nod as he slides his hands back into his pockets.
Five years is, indeed, a very long time for anyone to be trapped in a world that may as well be a prison. For some, though, it's a respite from real life. And as much as Kakashi hates what the Malnosso does to them, hates that none of this is truly real, he can't deny the fact that he's grateful for the experience of being able to spend more time with his sensei and Kushina. With Sasuke, too.
(He could've really, really done without the forced kissing, though...)
If he had a choice, though, he would go home in a heartbeat. Even if there's a war back there, if there's a part of him that is here, and not on the battlefield, that is one part that makes him a little bit weaker. And weakness isn't something that can be tolerated in war. ]
There are others who've been here longer, too. I'm not acquainted with them, but Shikamaru is.
