if somebody stabbed your love interest for whatever reason would you then say 'how could you let her die?' no. you would not. it's just not the proper way of thinking about an action. 'letting someone die' is passive, whereas what kakashi is doing here is a clearly active

it's true that we don't know what happened next and that it could all be explained as a zetsu clone of rin or something, but that's the case every week when we talk about the current chapter. that's the whole point of most of these discussions. discussing what might happen and what things might mean. there's no point in discussing facts that everyone knows. like kamui being a MS technique for instance

if it's a mis-translation then its a moot point. i can only talk about what i see. not what the words might mean in their original language
