Kakashi Hatake
6
2Kakashi Hatake's backstory is marked by early loss, a focus on duty, and significant trauma related to his father's suicide and the deaths of his teammates, Rin and Obito. These events shaped his ninja philosophy and his initial difficulty in forming strong bonds. Kakashi lost his mother at a young age and was primarily raised by his father, Sakumo Hatake, a highly respected ninja known as "Konoha's White Fang". Sakumo, after prioritizing his teammates' lives over a mission, faced village disgrace and ultimately committed suicide. This event deeply impacted Kakashi, leading him to prioritize missions above all else, even comrades, as he didn't want to repeat his father's perceived failure. Kakashi was a prodigy, graduating from the Academy at a young age and quickly becoming a Jonin. He was placed on a team with Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara, led by Minato Namikaze. During a mission to Kannabi Bridge, Obito was seemingly killed, and Rin was captured. Kakashi, in an attempt to save her, had his left eye injured. Obito then awakened his Sharingan and saved them, but was ultimately crushed by a falling boulder. Rin, in a selfless act to protect the village, had Kakashi use his Chidori on her, killing her to prevent the Three-Tails from being released within Konoha. Following these events, Kakashi joined the Anbu, a period marked by further trauma and emotional distress. He was eventually removed from Anbu and assigned to genin teams to help him reconnect with others. Kakashi's eventual mentorship of Team 7, consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, is a key part of his character development as he learns to overcome his past and become a supportive teacher.
