Background

Kakashi served as an Anbu Squad Captain after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Rin Nohara's death, and the Nine-Tails' Rampage left him in a state of profound darkness. His left Sharingan was a parting gift from his dying comrade, Obito Uchiha, leaving him with a lasting sense of debt toward the Uchiha clan. 32 33

Uchiha Qianyu selected Kakashi to investigate the case surrounding Shinnosuke Sarutobi. Although the appointment placed Kakashi between the Hokage and the Uchiha clan, he led the interrogation team and ultimately chose to submit the truth to Hiruzen Sarutobi rather than protect the Hokage's son. 34 44 45

The Danzo incident exposed further trauma in Kakashi's past. When Danzo resurrected Hatake Sakumo as an Impure World Reincarnation puppet, Kakashi learned that his father's death had been tied to Konoha's political darkness. Sakumo urged him to choose his own path, and Kakashi resolved to follow Qianyu. 79 83 84

Appearance

Kakashi is identified by his messy silver-white hair and his concealed left Sharingan.

• Messy, silver-white long hair visible beneath his Anbu mask. 32
• Wore a cat-faced Anbu mask while serving as an Anbu operative. 32
• Commonly covered his left eye with an eye protector before unveiling the Sharingan in battle. 79 99

Personality

Kakashi values truth, comradeship, and personal responsibility over political convenience. When asked how he would respond to wrongdoing against subordinates, he stated that he would pursue justice, though without Qianyu's extreme methods. 45

His experiences with Sakumo, Obito, Rin, Minato, and Kushina left him distrustful of Hiruzen's leadership and Konoha's internal power struggles. Rather than remain detached, he eventually commits himself to Qianyu's reformist path and accepts the duties that follow from that choice. 48 74 84 86

In combat, Kakashi remains composed and analytical even against unfamiliar techniques. He rapidly deduces the timing limit of Obito's intangibility and uses decoys, combined ninjutsu, and the Kamui dimension to manufacture openings. 100 192

Abilities & Skills

Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan

Kakashi's left Mangekyo Sharingan grants him Kamui, a Space-Time Ninjutsu connected to Obito's own Kamui.

• Can distort and restore space through his line of sight. 100 190
• His Kamui directly counters Obito's attempts to absorb targets or phase through attacks. 100 190 192
• Uses the connection between the two eyes' Kamui dimensions to infiltrate the dimension and ambush Obito. 192
• Initially suffers severe chakra depletion and eye pain after using Mangekyo Eye Power due to being a non-Uchiha. 101 192
• His and Obito's eyes can synchronize visually during extreme emotional stimulation. 207

Dual Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan

After receiving Obito's remaining eye, Kakashi undergoes enhancement with a White Zetsu body and Hashirama Cells, enabling sustained use of both Mangekyo Sharingan. 208 218

• Greatly increases his chakra reserves, vitality, recovery, and overall strength. 218
• Enables the manifestation of Perfect Susanoo. 239
• Allows him to phase through physical attacks while attacking without obstruction. 241
• Creates Kamui Shuriken capable of severing Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's limbs and distorting Daikokuten constructs. 241 246

Lightning Release

Kakashi is a skilled Lightning Release user whose techniques support both direct offense and tactical misdirection.

• Raikiri — Used to destroy Space-Time Ninjutsu-launched shuriken, pierce Wood Release restraints, and strike Obito in the Kamui dimension. 100 101 192
• Lightning Release Shadow Clone — Used as a decoy against the Masked Man's attempted Kamui capture. 100
• Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang — Forms lightning into a thunder wolf for ranged pursuit. 191
• Kamui Raikiri — Combines Kamui with Raikiri to destroy targets at range. 231

Elemental Ninjutsu

Kakashi combines elemental techniques to pressure opponents and manipulate the battlefield.

• Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique — Used against Obito during their confrontation. 191 192
• Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall — Creates a defensive wall, marked with a dog's head, against Fire Release attacks. 191
• Water Current Electric Net — A combined Water and Lightning Release technique used to force Obito into the Kamui dimension. 192

Tactical Analysis

Kakashi's combat intelligence is repeatedly recognized as exceptional.

• Identified that Obito must materialize briefly to attack, making that moment the key to counterattacking. 100
• Used a decoy strategy to make Obito rely on intangibility, then positioned his true body in the Kamui dimension for an ambush. 192
• Organized Anbu, ninja hounds, and Ino-Shika-Cho pursuers to track Danzo. 79

Equipment

• Kunai — Used for close-quarters exchanges and to restrict an opponent's escape routes. 99 100
• Anbu eye protector — Concealed his left Sharingan before battle. 79 99
• Anbu mask — Cat-faced mask worn during his earlier Anbu service. 32

Relationships

• Uchiha Qianyu — Initially trusted Kakashi to investigate Shinnosuke Sarutobi's case; Kakashi later resigns from Anbu, joins Qianyu's Police Force, and serves as a key military and administrative subordinate. 34 86 123 218
• Hatake Sakumo — His father. Sakumo's resurrection as Danzo's puppet reveals the political forces behind his death; before departing, Sakumo supports Kakashi's decision to walk his chosen path. 79 83 84
• Uchiha Obito — Former comrade and original owner of Kakashi's Sharingan. Their connected Kamui leads Kakashi to identify the Masked Man as Obito and confront him over his Moon Eye Plan. 33 101 191 192
• Might Guy — Close friend and longtime companion. Guy credits Qianyu with helping save Kakashi from darkness, while Kakashi regularly supports Guy after the strain of the Eight Gates. 127 134
• Hiruzen Sarutobi — Former Hokage and superior whose political compromises and concealed crimes estrange Kakashi. Kakashi openly resigns from Anbu rather than continue serving under him. 48 86 114
• Asuma Sarutobi — Former friend who becomes an enemy when he seeks vengeance for Hiruzen. Kakashi respects Asuma's choice but vows to stop any attempt on the Hokage's life. 136
• Tsunade — Works with Kakashi to solve the backlash of wielding two Mangekyo Sharingan, proposing Hashirama Cell enhancement as the solution. 208 218
• Naruto Uzumaki — As Minato's student, Kakashi regrets neglecting Naruto during his years of grief and accepts responsibility for arranging Anbu protection for him. 124

Danzo Pursuit
