Background / History

Kakashi attended the Ninja Academy alongside Aragaki Yasushi, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin. After graduation, he served on a team led by Minato Namikaze with Obito and Rin. Even during wartime reunions with former classmates, he maintained a cold and aloof demeanor. 1 6

During the Kannabi Bridge operation, Kakashi's team supported Aragaki Yasushi's squad in destroying Iwagakure's supply route. He fought Iwagakure jonin Hikari and killed him with an incomplete Chidori, though the technique's speed and his inability to track an opponent's responses left him exposed to fatal danger. 7 8 9

After Obito sacrificed himself to save Kakashi and Rin from Mist Anbu, Kakashi received Obito's transplanted Sharingan. He was devastated by Obito's death, lost his will to live, and became the target of hostility from Uchiha clan ninja who demanded the eye's return. Aragaki Yasushi provoked him into swearing revenge for Obito. 21 22

Kakashi later became an Anbu operative shortly after returning to the village. He reunited with Aragaki Yasushi on missions to Kumogakure, serving alongside Gekko Hayate and Uzuki Yugao. 75 76

Personality

Kakashi is habitually cold, arrogant, and emotionally reserved. During his earlier “obsessive” period following his father's death, he focused almost exclusively on becoming stronger and completing missions. 6

He is highly driven in combat and willing to take dangerous risks to secure victory, as shown by his reckless use of incomplete Chidori against Hikari. 8 9 Obito's death leaves him emotionally shattered and apathetic for a time, though reminders of Obito can still affect him deeply. 21 67

Despite his distance from others, Kakashi values his comrades. He is anxious to rescue Rin after her abduction and later expresses concern for Aragaki Yasushi during the mission involving Yugito. 55 82
