Team 8 had just returned to Konoha when they were summoned by the Anbu.
Kakashi, who had just become Hokage, felt like his head was about to explode.
He had been suddenly thrust into this position without any preparation—Jiraiya's warning couldn't be considered adequate preparation in any sense.

Negotiating reparations with Sand Village, dealing with the probing actions of Cloud Village and Rock Village, and handling the pressure from Mist Village, who had sent people to demand the return of Zabuza Momochi and the Ice Release user who had been with him.
All these matters required his attention.
War was on the brink, and even the slightest mistake could lead to disaster.
