Background 
Edit
Despite his own successes, his father fell into disgrace after choosing to save his comrades rather than complete an important mission, which caused the nation and the village to suffer a great loss. Dishonoured, Sakumo took his own life after suffering a deep depression and drop in his skills; this experience made Kakashi determined to lead his life strictly by the ninja code.[8]
Third Shinobi World War Edit
See also: Kakashi Gaiden
Soon after becoming a jōnin, Kakashi was assigned to lead his team-mates Obito and Rin on a mission that would benefit Konoha in the ongoing Third Shinobi World War. They were to destroy Kannabi Bridge, which was being used by Iwagakure forces to move into Kusagakure.
This would also be Konoha's first huge offensive move in the war. On
their way to the bridge, Rin was kidnapped by two Iwagakure ninja named Kakkō and Taiseki.
Obito immediately suggested that they rescue her, but Kakashi disagreed
on the basis that they needed to complete their mission, opting not to
make the same mistake his father did in his mission.[9]

Post-War Edit
Over the years, Kakashi became well-known among all the Five Great Shinobi Countries for the extensive use of his Sharingan, gaining him a reputation as "the man who has copied over a thousand techniques", hence his nickname.[20][21] Kakashi eventually joined the Konoha ANBU,[22] and also served as a mentor to Yamato whose codename was "Tenzō" at that time.[23]
In the anime, he once had a mission where Iruka, his team-mate at the time, was injured and became an instructor at the Academy. When Iruka was having doubts at being assigned to be the home room teacher of Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi served to remind him of his real reasons for wanting the post in the first place.[25]
Personality Edit
Kakashi became more stern and serious after his father's death,
following all the rules to the letter and chastising any who disobeyed
them, like his team-mate Obito Uchiha. He was also very aloof and
apathetic to others especially his team-mate Obito who was always late
for their missions and would come in tow with a grand excuse. This
caused Obito to resent Kakashi; the dynamics between the two would soon
change after Obito was mortally wounded during the Third Shinobi World War, with Kakashi and Obito becoming closer friends after Rin was abducted.
Obito's supposed death had a huge impact on Kakashi's personality, adopting many of his friend's cheerful mannerisms such as having greater concern for his team-mates and students over the successful completion of a mission, as well as believing that teamwork is essential to overall success as a team. He has also developed a somewhat carefree personality and is regularly late for appointments, making obvious excuses just like Obito before him.[26] This is often because he loses track of time during his frequent visits to the memorial stone where Obito's name is engraved.[27] However, Kakashi is still just as apathetic as he was during his youth, often speaking bluntly about sensitive topics.
Though his childhood was riddled with numerous despairs that took those dear away from him, one being the death of Rin by his own hand, Kakashi is on the best terms with his childhood friends: Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai, his students and generally with everyone in Konoha to a lesser extent. His devotion to his friends and the rest of Konoha were the motivation to perfect both the Chidori, and its enhanced version Lightning Cutter. After the formation of Team 7, Kakashi begins taking a special interest in his students' development, especially in the case of Naruto and Sasuke whose rivalry reminded him of his relation to Obito. Like Hiruzen, Kakashi loved all of his students deeply, turning down a mission to stop Naruto and Sasuke from killing each other. Despite Sasuke allying with Orochimaru, Kakashi shared Naruto's hope that they could save him. However, Kakashi became originally distraught about having to kill Sasuke after he became an enemy of Konoha, especially since he felt that it was his shortcomings as their teacher that attributed to this and Naruto and Sakura's temporary falling out, but then furiously discarding his hesitation, only after Sasuke attempted to kill Sakura without a second thought.[28]
Kakashi has a rather solitary, and matter-of-fact attitude. His calm and detached demeanour has been called "cool, hip, and trendy" many times by Might Guy. Despite his increasingly growing reputation and prowess as a ninja, Kakashi has shown no signs of arrogance, and is rather modest about his abilities, as shown when he readily praises others for leaps in their combat abilities and stating on more than one occasion that Naruto has surpassed him in power. When suggested by many for him to become Hokage, Kakashi admitted being unworthy but would accept the post for the sake of the village's well being. His naturally calm attitude is used to his advantage in battle, as it becomes easier for him to maintain his composure and stay focused on the situation at hand, and notice everything around him. As a result, he can quickly adjust to any situation to make keen and thought-out decisions, allowing him to stay steps ahead of his opponents.
Despite his calm demeanour, Kakashi does have an emotional side, as he noted during the Fourth Shinobi World War that it took a lot to get him worked up, but when he did, he would go on a merciless rampage against the enemy.[29] He was later horrified at the fact that Tobi was actually his thought to be deceased comrade Obito, to the point that he became momentarily depressed and was no longer reacted to what was occurring on the battlefield.[30][31] Despite this, Kakashi was eventually able to snap out of this state with new found resolve, and showed Obito no mercy on the battlefield despite their past friendship.
Kakashi has an ongoing, albeit one-sided, somewhat childish rivalry with Guy. In trying to prove himself superior to Kakashi, Guy challenges him to competitions of questionable value ranging from Rock, Paper, Scissors to running races. Guy has a record of 50 wins to 49 losses, which he is particularly proud of, despite these competitions having little accuracy due to their large variations. In the anime, Kakashi has a 51:50 win-lose record. Kakashi, on the other hand, shows very little interest in their competitions, which only further inspires Guy to defeat Kakashi and his "coolness". However, Kakashi did show disappointment when he learned that Guy taught Lee how to open the dangerous Eight Gates, which turned to sympathy when Guy shows how much his student meant to him. Nevertheless, both men are great friends and also have the utmost faith in each other seen during the Fourth Shinobi World War when they entrusted the protection of their blind spots to each other. This was also expanded on in the anime, where Kakashi told Tsunade that he would need a second-in-command during the war and wanted Guy to serve that purpose.
Appearance Edit
As a child, prior to obtaining his Sharingan, Kakashi wore a simple black outfit with the lower-half of his face concealed. He also wore a scarf with a simple design running along its length to the entrance ceremony,[33] which he would later swap out for a plain, green one.[34] As a genin, he wore another simple black outfit along with an open-front apron around his waist and fish-net armour around his ankles.[35] During the Kakashi Gaiden, he wore a black T-shirt with white stripes in the middle of the sleeves. On his arms he wears black sleeves (which he presumably cut out from his shirt) with metal arm protectors over them. He also has leather straps around his back and chest, and his family's White Light Chakra Sabre is kept in a small holder out in the back. He also wore pants similar to the ones he wears today. He appears to wear the same type of outfit as a child (as seen in a flashback). However, in another flashback he is shown wearing a sleeveless black shirt similar to one he sometimes wears as an adult. This type of shirt is presumably for casual wear. While an ANBU member, Kakashi wore the standard uniform which consisted of a simple blue suit with the standard flak jacket, strapped up sandals, and arm guards. Along with this he wore plated gloves that went all the way up to his arms with a bandage wrapped around the right one. Along with this he carried a sword strapped to his back and his mask was fashioned to resemble a dog's face with red and black markings around the eyes, sides and mouth.
Kakashi's personality is further emphasised by his generally lazy expression, aloof manner, relaxed voice, and minimalist attitude. In serious situations, however, he is shown to have a very stern and intense look. The cover page for chapter 16 also shows him wearing a chain necklace. Another noticeable feature to Kakashi, other than his unique left eye, is the thin scar running over it and down to his cheek. When he joined the regular forces Kakashi once again donned the standard attire of the forces and he began wearing shorter metal-plated gloves.
It has yet to be revealed why Kakashi, even at young age, wore his face mask. Though it does not seem to be an issue in the manga,[36] what Kakashi's face looks in its entirety has been a point of interest for his students as they made various attempts in omake specials to see him without the mask. Episode 101 is devoted to Team 7 trying to remove their sensei's mask, and suggests that he is in fact very handsome, as seen from Teuchi and Ayame's reaction to seeing his face. In the few instances that Kakashi is seen without his mask, it has been seen that he has a narrow jaw-line; in these instances the parts of his face normally covered by his mask are obstructed from view.
Abilities Edit
Other ninja villages are very aware of Kakashi and his abilities,[40] and upon meeting him in battle, become afraid or excited by the challenge Kakashi will pose. Pain, an extremely powerful member of Akatsuki, feared that Kakashi would interfere with Akatsuki's plans if left alive.[41] This was later validated in the Fourth Shinobi World War when Kakashi defeated most of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and later held off several "Version 2" state jinchūriki together with Might Guy.[42]
Taijutsu Edit
Kakashi is very adept in taijutsu.
In the anime, as a child, he was skilled enough to draw out his sensei
Minato Namikaze in his bell test, managing to touch one of the bells.[43] As an adult, his improved skill was noted to be greater than Rock Lee in Part I, who is a taijutsu master-in-training.[37]
He is also noted to have impressive speed; being able to intercept an
opponent even from a distance as seen during the very start of the bell test.[44] Even when greatly outnumbered by hundreds of shadow clones, he is easily able to defeat them.[45]
His battle prowess and speed allow him to effectively catch his opponents off-guard to quickly strike them down and easily evade attacks. His speed increased considerably in Part II, before the timeskip he had difficulty keeping up with Itachi Uchiha, but matched the Akatsuki member after the timeskip. His hand seal prowess has also been noted as being very great, able to perform them at highly difficult speeds to follow.[46]
He is also able to open at least one of the Eight Gates,[47] a feat that very few ninja are able to achieve. In the anime, he can also utilise advanced techniques derived from it while showing no signs of even fatigue afterwards.[45][48] His raw strength is also noticeably high, able to in Part I simultaneously throw both Naruto and Sasuke a large distance, and in Part II easily lift and wield the giant blade of Zabuza Momochi, Kubikiribōchō, with a single hand despite its considerable weight.[49]
Ninjutsu Edit
Nature Transformation Edit
When Kakashi learned how to use the Rasengan, he attempted to infuse it with lightning-chakra as it was originally intended to be combined with element chakra, but ultimately failed. However, he used the same theoretical principle to create the Chidori,[61] which he later refined into the far stronger, Lightning Cutter.[62][63] He can also enlist the aid of a shadow clone, to create a lightning chain able to cut through even a jinchūriki's chakra arms in a "Version 2" state.[64] He can also create a lightning-infused clone,[65] and hound via his manipulation of lightning-chakra.[66]
Bukijutsu Edit
Kakashi is a highly-skilled user in a large variety of weapons such as bows and arrows, kusarigama, chains, wire strings
and others. Due to his ANBU background, he is especially proficient in
kenjutsu. His weapon-skills are also very adaptable, even able to
effectively use Kubikiribōchō,[49] a blade of unique shape with noticeable size and weight, even use it to defeat kenjutsu specialists like the Seven Mist Swordsmen after just gaining possession of it.[67] He can also enhance his physical tools, channelling lightning-nature chakra through them.[68][69]
Genjutsu Edit
While used less often, he has also shown skill in genjutsu,
which he can use as a set-up for stronger attacks. His skill in its
usage is able to easily deceive most opponents with well-timed
diversions, giving his opponents little chance to counter. During the
bell test for Team 7, Kakashi was able to use low-level techniques to easily subdue a keen-minded and natural genjutsu-type like Sakura.[70] Against high-level genjutsu such as the Temple of Nirvana Technique, he has advanced knowledge of their working, and is able to dispel genjutsu as well.[71]
Dōjutsu Edit
Sharingan Edit
However, because he is not an Uchiha, Kakashi is unable to deactivate it, keeping it covered until needed so not to risk his Sharingan using up a massive amount of chakra that would force him to take an extended bed rest. Because of this, Kakashi only relies on it when he feels it is an absolute necessity. Despite his handicap with the Sharingan, he is very skilled to the point that Itachi Uchiha acknowledges Kakashi's proficiency to most true Sharingan wielders.[74]
When he first received the Sharingan it had only two tomoe. Some time after this, the traumatic loss of his dear friend Rin caused Kakashi's Sharingan to fully mature.[75] In addition, Kakashi has extended the duration of time he can sustain using the Sharingan. In Part I, he could only handle using it for a short while in battle while suffering somewhat crippling effects such as severe fatigue.[76] In Part II, he is seen using it for seemingly a day while testing Naruto and Sakura without any adverse effects.
Mangekyō Sharingan Edit
Kamui's chakra requirements are considerably high, such that initially he had to be hospitalised for a week after using it three times in one day.[87][88] By his battle against Obito, his mastery of this technique improved further, able to use it at least five times, three of which in quick succession (along with multiple other chakra-taxing techniques) and still had enough strength left to act. Afterwards, though tired, he remarked that he retained enough chakra to use the technique a few more times, and only after the fourth use did he start experiencing the immediate side effects, which he soon recovered somewhat from. He is also knowledgeable of other Mangekyō Sharingan techniques[89][90] as well as the risks the dōjutsu poses to the user's eyesight.[91]
Intelligence Edit
Repeatedly, Kakashi has proven himself to be a very shrewd and
resourceful man. By a quite young age, Kakashi had enough experience on
the battlefield to detect a hiding enemy's presence, impressing his
sensei, Minato.[92] Kakashi has even been noted to be smarter than Shikamaru Nara in Part I: a ninja well-known for his insightful, and calculating nature.[37]
His instincts also allow him to calmly effectively perceive and react
to any incoming danger. Kakashi's intellect has proven itself against
various S-rank ninja, including members of Akatsuki, showing unsurpassed
perceptive and analytical skills,[93]
able to quickly and single-handedly deduce the workings of the most
mysterious enemy techniques and plot successful diversions in order to
verify his theories (most of the time proving them correct). He is aided
in this regard by his calm personality, which allows him to handle a
given situation with some detachment.
His long career as a jōnin, and formerly as an ANBU, have only expanded his knowledge, allowing him to handle virtually any situation. For these reasons Kakashi has been assigned to a variety of teams — always as the leader — and he is always able to work well with his team-mates. Chōza Akimichi attributes Kakashi's success to his approach to battles: he avoids direct combat by using misdirection and clones until he can determine the opponent's skills, at which point he modifies his tactics to fit the situation.[94] Kakashi has also shown repeatedly to be a highly capable teacher. He has come up with various unorthodox methods to help his students produce impressive leaps in their abilities in weeks what would normally take months if not years of intense training.
Chakra Prowess Edit
Originally, Kakashi's primary weakness was his barely average reserves of chakra and stamina. He could only maintain his Sharingan
for a short time, quickly tiring out from overusing it and ultimately
collapsing, followed by great difficulty to even stand for days. He also
claimed he could only use his signature technique, Lightning Cutter,
four times in a single day before it wouldn't work. To compensate for
this, Kakashi possesses very refined chakra control, allowing him to use
multiple techniques quickly with the minimum necessary chakra and to
their highest level. Kakashi’s control also allows him to perform
various techniques, usually lightning-based, with few to no hand seals.
Over the course of the series, his reserves improved considerably to extend his timespan and versatility to fight multiple high-level opponents. By Part II, he can maintain his Sharingan for an entire day and utilise several chakra-taxing techniques in quick succession unfazed, including his Lightning Cutter at least six times. His chakra reserves development is best seen with his Mangekyō Sharingan technique, Kamui. Originally, a single use tired him greatly. Using it more than twice in a single day would leave him crippled for over a week. By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was able to fight throughout an entire day right before going to fight against Tobi and his Six Paths of Pain which comprised of reincarnated jinchūriki. Once arriving, he was able to use Kamui several times in quick succession before finally collapsing as his eye started bleeding. Shortly afterwards, he recovered enough to stand up on his own and soon leapt back into action, using Kamui yet again, along with several other chakra-taxing techniques. He is also a highly-skilled user in a large variety of weapons, especially in kenjutsu due to his ANBU background. His weapon-skills are also very adaptable, even able to effectively use Kubikiribōchō,[49] a blade of unique shape with noticeable size and weight, even use it to defeat kenjutsu specialists like the Seven Mist Swordsmen.[67]

Part I Edit
Introduction Arc Edit
Each of the young ninja try their own methods to getting a bell, only for Kakashi to easily defeat them. After Team 7 failed their test, Kakashi was quick to express his displeasure at their performance and that true goal was team-work. After explaining the importance of team-work and seeing how ashamed they were at their performance, Kakashi decided to give Team 7 one more chance to act as a team, and let them take a break for lunch. However, Naruto, having earlier tried to steal their lunches, was forbidden to eat with a severe penalty for anybody feeding him. When he watches Sasuke and Sakura giving Naruto their food to have him in peak condition from afar, Kakashi immediately confronted them while feigning anger. Delighted as they defiantly stand up to him on the grounds that they are a team, Kakashi passes them on the ground they placed loyalty among comrades first.
It was later revealed that Kakashi was chosen specifically by Hiruzen Sarutobi to be the leader of Team 7 because of Naruto and Sasuke. Kakashi's duty in addition to training the team was also to keep the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in Naruto contained, and to ensure Sasuke does not tread a dark path, since they had similar traits that would allow Kakashi to better understand him.
Land of Waves Arc Edit
After completing a number of easy D-rank missions, Team 7, at Naruto's insistence get assigned a somewhat more difficult C-rank task of escorting the bridge-builder Tazuna to the Land of Waves. Noticing they were about to be ambushed en route by the Demon Brothers,
Kakashi faked his death to determine if their target was his team or
Tazuna. Easily defeated them upon seeing them attempt to kill the bridge
builder, Kakashi realised that Tazuna has not been completely honest of
the mission and threatens Tazuna to tells them the truth. After hearing
Tazuna's goal to build a bridge to free his country from the tyranny of
Gatō, despite the mission now being more of an A-rank or B-rank, Kakashi decides for his group to remain until the bridge was complete.
Chūnin Exam Arc Edit
Invasion of Konoha Arc Edit
When Sunagakure and Otogakure's invasion of Konoha began during Sasuke's match, Kakashi released a genjutsu along with Might Guy
and Sakura, and helped repel the invaders along with Guy. They ended up
having several contests to see who could defeat the most Suna and
Oto-nin, although Guy usually won. When he noticed that Sasuke was going
after Gaara, Kakashi sent Naruto, Sakura, Shikamaru Nara, and Pakkun
to stop him and bring him back. After defeating several Suna and
Oto-nin, he is briefly seen with Guy, Aoba and Kurenai. After the failed
Invasion, he attends Hiruzen's funeral, mourning his loss, he listens
to Iruka's words at the funeral and thinks how sad it would be if the
Third Hokage had died for nothing.
Search for Tsunade Arc Edit
Sasuke Retrieval Arc Edit
Pre-Shippūden Filler Arcs Edit
Kakashi continued to be sent on missions during the anime's filler
arcs, leaving him with very few appearances. He returned from a mission
in time to recapture some of the prisoners that had escaped from prison
when Mizuki led a breakout. He was later sent to assist with the Cursed Warrior incident in the Land of Birds.
While not officially his mission and arriving much later, Kakashi
realised the situation wasn't as it seemed, and ultimately took command
of the team, thereby deciding to investigate. This led to Kakashi's
fight with Hōki's minions, Nagare and Hokushin, whom he defeated with relative ease.
In the Ultimate Weapon Arc, Kakashi was sent to spy on the Takumi Village when rumours of an uprising reached Konoha. There, he discovered the entire village abandoned, and the corpses missing. He later showed up towards the end of the arc, where he was sent as part of reinforcements, along with Jiraiya, to aid Naruto and the rest of the genin in helping Sunagakure, only to discover that Naruto's team had already successfully completed their mission. At the conclusion of Part I, Naruto and Sakura began training under Jiraiya and Tsunade respectively, leaving Kakashi free to train himself.
Part II Edit
Kazekage Rescue Arc Edit
With Team 7 effectively dissolved, Kakashi spent the two and half
years further enhancing and refining his abilities to prepare for the
inevitable battle with Akatsuki. After Naruto's return to the village, Kakashi was given, by Naruto, the newest edition to the Icha-Icha
series. Later, Kakashi had Naruto and Sakura take another bell test,
with the real objective being to actually capture the bells, to see how
much they have improved. When they were unable to get close enough to
Kakashi to each take a bell, Naruto and Sakura resorted to trying to
spoil the plot of the most recent Icha-Icha novel, throwing Kakashi off guard and allowing them to take the bells.
Sasuke and Sai Arc Edit
Kakashi, a bit disorientated, was brought back to Konohagakure by Guy
and rushed to the hospital to recover from the strain of using his Mangekyō Sharingan. Ordered bed rest for at least a week, Yamato, a former ANBU
ally, goes in his stead as Team Kakashi's leader to capture Sasori's
spy. Before the mission began, Kakashi learned the horror that awaited
if Naruto was allowed to reach the fourth-tail of the Nine-Tails chakra
cloak; Jiraiya
had received a near-fatal blow to the chest during training with Naruto
in that form. He was later hooked up to an IV, complaining that he
wanted to eat solid foods.
Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc Edit
Main article: Twelve Guardian Ninja Arc
Upon Team Kakashi's return to Konohagakure,
Kakashi learned that they failed in capturing Sasori's spy and of their
defeat by Sasuke. He then revealed that he had been brainstorming ideas
on how to help their training and ultimately came up with an idea that
worked only for Naruto; he would help him create a new and powerful
technique that would allow Naruto to possibly surpass him. Being
discharged from the hospital soon after (mainly due to Naruto camping
out in his room, wanting to start training right away), Kakashi
explained that using the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique would allow
Naruto to gain experience from each clone when he undoes the technique.
Using special paper that responds to chakra, Kakashi helped Naruto learn
that his chakra nature was wind-affiliated.
With Yamato's help in keeping the Nine-Tails suppressed Kakashi was
amazed at how fast Naruto was mastering his wind nature. Following
Naruto getting advice from Asuma, Kakashi was called away for a new mission by Tsunade, leaving Naruto unable to train.
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc Edit
After resuming training with Naruto, Kakashi revealed that this
training was to allow Naruto to combine his Wind chakra with his Rasengan to create a brand new technique attempted by the Fourth Hokage; to demonstrate his point, Kakashi showed Naruto that he could perform the Rasengan as well, but couldn't add his Lightning chakra to it. Upon hearing that Asuma Sarutobi had been killed in a battle with Akatsuki, Kakashi decided to lead Team 10
in avenging him, as Naruto had already advanced in his training beyond
needing Kakashi's assistance. He left Yamato in charge of overseeing
Naruto's training, and had Shikamaru work with him on the plan of
attack.
Three-Tails Arc Edit
Main article: Three-Tails Arc
Kakashi and his team later found themselves attacked by Orochimaru's minions, and trapped by Guren's crystal labyrinth. While initially at a disadvantage, Team Yamato arrived in time to free them from the labyrinth. The two teams then pursued Guren and her men to a lake where they discover that the Three-Tails was located somewhere in its centre. Later, when Kakashi learned from Naruto that Guren was accompanied with a young boy named Yūkimaru, Kakashi deduced that the child must have an important role to play in Orochimaru's plans for the Three-Tails.
Later, Kakashi's team was ordered to return to the village to formulate a new plan for dealing with the Three-Tails. On the night before the team returned, Yūkimaru left after being treated by Shizune. While aware of Yūkimaru's departure, Kakashi chose not to stop or pursue him, believing that Yūkimaru was no longer in any danger or a danger to them.
Itachi Pursuit Arc Edit
Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc Edit
Main article: Tsuchigumo Kinjutsu Arc
In the anime, while returning to the village, Katsuyu appears with a message from Tsunade. The team is ordered to aid the Tsuchigumo clan in protecting its forbidden technique from the missing-nin. Kakashi puts Yamato in charge of the mission while he returns to the village for more information.
Invasion of Pain Arc Edit
When Akatsuki's leader, Pain, attacked Konoha in search of Naruto, Kakashi confronted Pain's Deva Path, after realising that the initial attack was a diversion. He saved Iruka Umino from certain death, but was overpowered by the Deva Path's gravitational-manipulation techniques, repelling all of Kakashi's attacks. When the Asura Path arrived to help the Deva Path, Kakashi was forced on the defensive until he got reinforcements from Chōji and Chōza Akimichi. After figuring out the Deva Path's powers, Kakashi devised a plan, and used Chōji and Chōza's help to take down the Deva Path. They almost succeeded, but the Asura Path uses itself as shield, allowing the Deva Path to counter, defeating them all. Noting that Kakashi was too great a threat to be left alive, the Deva Path sends a nail flying towards the Copy Ninja, seemingly killing him.
Konoha History Arc Edit
Main article: Konoha History Arc
Five Kage Summit Arc Edit
Sai and Sakura follow Naruto to the Land of Iron and Sakura tells Naruto that she loves him and Kakashi watches on in disappointment and stops an angered Yamato from interrupting, trusting Naruto to handle it. Kakashi suspects that this is not the real reason they came, which is confirmed by one of Sai's ink clones. Sakura, as agreed upon by the other members of the Konoha 11, is going to kill Sasuke before he involves Konoha in a future war in any way possible. Knowing that she is no match for Sasuke and possibly understanding that he is most likely the only one who can reason with her in her current mental state, Kakashi prepares to follow her. At that moment, Gaara arrives and tells them about the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War and Danzō's actions at the Kage Summit. He adds that the other Kage would prefer if Kakashi were the Hokage. When Gaara leaves, the ink clone guides Kakashi to Sakura.
Chikara Arc Edit
Main article: Chikara Arc
In the anime, upon receiving news that Kabuto Yakushi is responsible for the massacre in Tonika Village, Tsunade sends Kakashi, Guy, and Shikamaru to assist Team Kakashi.[96]
Confining the Jinchūriki Arc Edit
Back in Konoha, Kakashi spoke with Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado about all that had occurred. While reluctant to become Hokage, he agreed and accompanied them to a meeting hall with the Fire Daimyō
and his delegation. Before he would be appointed, however, news reached
them of Tsunade waking up, ending the proceedings. Later, while Tsunade
was recovering, Kakashi spoke with her and thanked her for waking up in
time, noting he was not cut out for the position of Hokage.
Adventures at Sea Arc Edit
Main article: Adventures at Sea Arc
Shinobi World War Arc Edit
Smiling at his pupil, he tells him that he couldn't sit idly by while his student overexerts himself. Deciphering the information Naruto had spewed out, he watches on as the Five-Tails charges at Tobi and theorises that Tobi did not have perfect control of the beasts before telling Naruto to stay focused. As the beasts charge at them, Kakashi tells Guy that they needed to decipher which beast used which of the Six Paths of Pain's abilities. Activating his Lightning Cutter, he and Guy confront the beasts head on, he is shocked to see that they aren't using these abilities. He and Guy later watch in shock as Tobi, after congratulating Kakashi on his observation skills, causes Utakata and Rōshi to fully transform. As the Six-Tails attacks breathing out a corrosive gas, Kakashi warns Guy not to touch the substance it spewed at all.
As the situation becomes dire, Kakashi decides that he would warp away the five Tailed Beast Balls that were aimed at them, but Guy tells him that there was no way he had enough strength for that. Kakashi also declines Guy's decision to use the eighth gate, stating he would die after opening it. Both men are rescued however by Naruto who deflects the attacks with such speed that Kakashi momentarily believes him to be his former teacher Minato. Absorbed into the Nine-Tails' chakra as Naruto transforms, both men watch on at the battle between the beasts ensue watching in horror as the five opposing beasts later combine a Tailed Beast Ball, and Naruto attempts to counter with his own.
Obliging Guy's request to tell them his analysis in the simplest way possible, Kakashi explains what occurred that Tobi only intangible by transferring part of himself into the other dimension where Kakashi sends whatever he targets with Kamui to. But as this other dimension is pointed out as a link between his Sharingan and their enemy's, Kakashi questioned Tobi as to where exactly he got the eye from. However, Kakashi is horrified upon hearing Tobi's answer of obtaining his Sharingan from Kannabi Bridge during the previous war. Kakashi is at a loss for words, in a daze thinking of his former comrade, Guy attempts to snap him out of it while Naruto charges at Tobi in his Tailed Beast Mode. After hearing Naruto's speech, Kakashi rallied back and readied a new strategy that requires him to time the few remaining Kamui he can use. Charging forward as Naruto created a shadow clone to attack Tobi, Kakashi seemingly warped away the dispelled clone's Rasengan before collapsing from the strain with his eye bleeding. In reality, however, Kakashi warped Naruto's clone into the other dimension, allowing his student's clone to catch Tobi off guard and shatter his mask.
Kakashi is left completely stunned as he looks on to see that behind the shattered mask, is his childhood friend Obito Uchiha. When Kakashi questions him as to how he survived, Obito avoids his question but explains the reason for his plans; Kakashi's failure to protect Rin, causing Obito to hate "this useless reality", an answer that only caused Kakashi to sink further in depression. After the attack launched by Obito is thwarted by Naruto, they are soon joined by the reincarnated Madara. Shocked by this, they silently watched the Uchiha pair converse amongst themselves, and Kakashi expressed surprise at the fact Madara knew about Obito's Eye of the Moon Plan. While Madara started his confrontation with Naruto and Killer B, Kakashi and Guy prepared to confront their former comrade. Taking advantage of this, Kakashi proceeded to ask Obito why he teamed up with someone like Madara.
Interrupted by the clash between Naruto and Madara, Kakashi again posed the question to Obito. However, his former friend told him that there was nothing more to be said between them, and that the only thing left to do was to have their final fight. Hurling shuriken out of the other dimension, Kakashi blocked Obito's barrage with Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall until Obito phased through the wall holding one of the shuriken and stabbed it into Kakashi's left leg. Kakashi's persistence to ask why Obito was doing this only led his former friend to retort that he is trash that does not shut up, and warped Kakashi away to the other dimension. Remembering Obito's words of those who abandon friends being even worse than trash, Kakashi could not believe that the hero he looked up to had forsaken his previous beliefs and used his Kamui to warp himself back from the other world.
As Madara and Obito connect themselves to the Ten-Tails by way of tendrils being inserted, Kurama grabs Kakashi and Guy in his mouth to restore their chakra. Kurama, understanding the true nature behind the Ten-Tails, begins giving instructions to how they should have the might beast. When Kakashi notes that Kurama is acting like a captain, it thinks Kakashi has a problem with it, but the jōnin merely replies that he actually likes it. Kakashi's kindness to Kurama is shortly enjoyed as the Ten-Tails shows remarkable speed, quickly overwhelming Kakashi and his team. Following Kurama's advice, Kakashi uses Kamui to teleport Gyūki in front of the Ten-Tails, who launches a point-blank Tailed Beast Ball at the resurrected demon.
Reeling from an attack from a newly evolved Ten-Tails, Kakashi is asked by Shikaku for information regarding his fights with the enemy prior to the Allied Shinobi Forces arrival, but Kakashi is forced to cut contact and attempts to use Kamui against the Ten-Tails. Realising he couldn't use it in time, ordering another to use an Earth Release technique to make the ground underneath the beast uneven, Kakashi is shocked to see the Ten-Tails massive firing distance with a Tailed Beast Ball. Kakashi and Sakura later narrowly avoid one of the wooden stakes that was fired by the Ten-Tails. He later watched on in horror as Neji sacrificed himself to protect Naruto and Hinata from the projectiles, and attempted to chide Obito for degrading Naruto, but was cut off by the former's tirade, in which he pointed out that Kakashi should know that nothing but loneliness was at the end of the path Naruto had chosen to take. He would later affirm that promising to protect loved ones could become a curse, if they were unable to fulfil that promise. Understanding this, Naruto still agreed to keep Neji in his heart and to carry on his will, stating that to do otherwise would be to truly killing Neji.
After receiving chakra from Naruto, Kakashi thought back to his conversation with Shikaku and the feats he was able to accomplish the first time Kurama gave him chakra. He later charged towards, and attacked the Ten-Tails alongside the other empowered members of the Alliance.
Movies Edit
Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow Edit
Team 7 was given orders for an A-rank mission to escort the famous actress, Yukie Fujikaze, to the Land of Snow. Upon arriving in the Land of Snow, they were attacked by three Yuki ninjas Kakashi had fought years ago when he was still in ANBU. It was then revealed that Yukie was actually Koyuki Kazahana, the true heir as daimyō
to the Land of Snow, who Kakashi saved years ago from her treacherous
uncle, Dotō. Kakashi used his Sharingan to copy some of their ice-based technique to escape.
Realising what Dotō was after, Kakashi switched Koyuki's crystal necklace with a fake one, in an attempt to stop him. When Koyuki was kidnapped, Kakashi, along with his team (minus Naruto), mounted a rescue attempt. Soon after Kakashi returned Koyuki's necklace to her, Dotō captured his niece, along with the necklace.
Kakashi was later intercepted by Nadare Rōga. Knowing his opponent had a high protection from ninjutsu and genjutsu, thanks to his armour, Kakashi relied on his taijutsu and defeated him with his Front Lotus. After Dotō was defeated and Koyuki took up her role as daimyō, Kakashi learned to his joy that Koyuki would be playing a lead role in a new "Icha-Icha" movie.
Naruto the Movie 3: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom Edit
Kakashi was sent on a mission of escorting Prince Michiru of the Land of the Moon, and his son, Hikaru, back home. He was joined by his team (plus Rock Lee). Upon arriving, it was discovered that the Land of the Moon had been taken over by one of the king's advisers, Shabadaba, with the help of Three Wandering Ninja. After getting assistance from the royal guards, who were still loyal to the king, Kakashi aided their escape.
Later, Kakashi faced off against the leader of the rogue ninja, Ishidate, but failed to keep up with his opponent, thanks to being affected by a special gas, and ultimately having his left arm petrified to stone. This let the rogue ninja capture Michiru. After his arm was cured by Sakura, Kakashi joined a circus as a diversion, while having his team enter the castle to save Michiru. He then used his Sharingan and a water technique to keep the enemies occupied. In the end, Kakashi overused his Sharingan, and was forced to be hospitalised for several days, thus allowing his team to have a vacation in the Land of the Moon.
Naruto: Shippūden the Movie Edit
Kakashi only had a few cameos. When word reached Konoha that the legendary demon, Mōryō,
had been released, and had begun its quest to control the world,
Kakashi was sent out as one of the lead ninja to mount a counter-attack
on Mōryō's assault of stone warriors. This was merely to stall for time
while Naruto, Sakura, Lee, and Neji Hyūga escorted Priestess Shion, who had the power to reseal Mōryō. Towards the end of the movie, Kakashi appeared with Shikamaru Nara, Might Guy, and Temari to support Naruto and Shion in stopping Mōryō. Here, Kakashi used his Lightning Cutter
to destroy several stone warriors. At the end of the movie, Kakashi was
shocked by Shion's proposal for Naruto to father her child, which
Naruto unknowingly agreed to.
Naruto Shippūden 2: Bonds Edit
When the infamous ninja of Land of the Sky
attacked Konoha, Kakashi was one of the ninja who fought to protect the
citizens, and fended off the attack. Later, Kakashi was put on a team
with Shikamaru, Sai, and Shino Aburame
to take down the enemy's ship fleet. After working out a plan with
Shikamaru, the team was able to accomplish their mission. After Naruto
was able to stop Shinnō and destroy his mothership, Kakashi witnessed it plummet, and merely commented that Naruto was as hyperactive as ever.
Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire Edit
When word that all the Great Ninja Nations but Konoha were having
wielders of their kekkei genkai abducted, Kakashi and his team were sent
to investigate, following the trail of the most recent abducted man to
the mountain range of Shumisen. Upon arriving, they are attacked by
strange animals that injure Naruto and Sai. After the trail goes cold,
Kakashi's team is forced to return to the village. Later, rogue ninja of
Konoha named Hiruko appeared and announces to the world via technique that he was responsible for taking the kekkei genkai wielders and assimilated their power with his Chimera Technique
to begin the Fourth Great Ninja War. Kakashi, who met Hiruko ten years
prior, after obtaining Obito's Sharingan and was branded with a mind-controlling technique
in a desire to obtain the Sharingan, realises that Hiruko has not
actually gained control of the kekkei genkai he stole and must require
certain conditions to obtain them or he wouldn't have waited ten years
to go after Kakashi. After theorising that a solar eclipse was one of
the conditions, Kakashi decides to face Hiruko. He also asks Tsunade to
perform a technique on him. Later, after visiting Obito's grave again,
Hiruko's technique takes effect on Kakashi, making him leave the
village.
It is later revealed that Kakashi intentionally let this happen, as he had Tsunade implant a seal on him that would activate his Mangekyō Sharingan once Hiruko assimilated Kakashi. Refusing to let Kakashi sacrifice himself, Naruto went after Kakashi and managed to save him. This unfortunately allowed Hiruko a second chance to assimilate Kakashi and his Sharingan before the eclipse ended. Together Kakashi and Naruto fought Hiruko and found an opening for Naruto to unleash his Wind Release: Rasenshuriken to defeat Hiruko. As Hiruko began to die from his injuries, Kakashi went to him. Hiruko asks how he could have failed. Kakashi says that it was because he chose solitude over comrades. Realising that Kakashi made the same mistake in trying to sacrifice himself, Kakashi remembers how Obito once showed him the way and was thankful for Naruto stopping him. The movie ends with Kakashi thinking back on his past when Obito spoke to him about refusing to abandon a comrade and he smiles at Naruto commenting on the similarities between the two. Naruto, however, gains the wrong impression, mistakenly believing that Kakashi was homosexual and making a pass at him, which is commented upon by the rest of the groups present. Kakashi hurriedly denies this and chases after the fleeing Naruto, trying to explain what he meant.
Naruto Shippūden 4: The Lost Tower Edit
Twenty years in the past, a young Kakashi is seen in the line of Ramen Ichiraku grand opening, along with Shizune, Asuma Sarutobi and Might Guy,
who are impatiently waiting to eat ramen. However, Kakashi claims that
they shouldn't be so excited for just ramen. As Shizune replies that he
is in the waiting line too, Minato Namikaze
appears and tells him to get ready for the mission. Guy asks Kakashi if
he's not going to eat the ramen, to which he answers that he doesn't
have as much free time as they do and leaves. Shizune calls him a jerk
and Asuma agrees with her.
At Minato's request, Kakashi is allowed to tag along with him, Shibi Aburame and Chōza Akimichi in their effort to intervene in the conflicts occurring in a place known as Rōran.[97]
Kakashi put explosive tags on the factory in Rōran under Minato's orders.
Later, Kakashi is saved by Yamato, though he claims that he saved him instead. As a result, Yamato hits him in the head claiming it's a payback for his future bullying, while Naruto looks in awe at his future sensei.
