Personality

Kakashi is proud, competitive, and intensely self-reliant. He challenges Haotian directly despite Genma already lying injured nearby, then continues resisting after suffering broken ribs and an arm during their duel. 30 31

His defeat does not end his ambition. Kakashi trains alone at camp, driven by anxiety and a need to prove himself, but declines Haotian's offer of guidance because he wants to improve by himself. 41

Despite his cold and mocking manner toward Obito, Kakashi is disciplined in missions. When Haotian's Chakra is detected amid a massive explosion, he prevents Meihui from abandoning their objective and orders the squad to continue toward the front. 39 40 50
