Character Name: Kakashi Hatake Series: Naruto Timeline: Pre-canon - Shortly after the Kyuubi attack on Konoha Canon Resource Links:Here Flashbacks (in chronological order of Kakashi's life) in Chapters 607, 599, 239-244, 629 (there are spoilers in this chapter), 604 & 605, 607 (again), 503
Personality:
Kakashi at this age is a bit of a jerk. Okay, not nearly as much as he used to be but he hasn’t yet reached the level of playfulness that his older shelf has. The hardness that Kakashi can show stems from the fact that his father was a great shinobi and one that he looked up to. He was revered and feared by many up until the point where he put his team over his mission and it helped lead to a great world-wide war. Sakumo was dishonored and even slandered by the village until he fell into a deep depression and took his own life. The hole it made in Kakashi’s life made him withdraw and become harsh. He lived by the shinobi rules and discarded everything useless in his life – including his own teammates. Kakashi even starting hiding his face with a mask because he looked so much like his father and wanted nothing to do with him.
Because of his coldness and ideals Kakashi never got along with Obito. They were always fighting, with Kakashi always putting the other boy down with harsh words and cold looks. They never quite seemed to see eye-to-eye on matters and it turned them into rivals despite the fact that they were on the same team. Kakashi was always outdoing him and Obito was always left behind trying to catch up. Generally it led to Obito to be frustrated and Kakashi never hesitated to quote rules at him.
Due to the fact that Kakashi lived and breathed the shinobi code, he’s a very skilled shinobi. He was the first on the team to make it to jounin levels, though Kakashi’s attitude often pushed away his teammates when he should have worked together with them. It sort of makes his leadership skills a bit of a failure. Yet it makes him very aware of his surroundings and perceptive as hell. He can sense when there’s danger nearby and react accordingly. Ever since his father’s death, Kakashi has strived to be better than him – to be stronger and a perfect shinobi. Though he ended up lacking when it came down to leading his first mission which led to fatal mistakes. Now his determination to be stronger lies in protecting the people he cares about, so he’ll do everything he can to make sure they stay safe.
However, after losing Rin to the enemy a fight broke out between the two boys and has made Kakashi rethink his attitude. Obito basically told him that those who didn’t care about their teammates were worse than trash. Initially Kakashi turned away and continued on with his mission instead of rescuing his teammate, pushing aside the part of him that was afraid of the past. It wasn’t until he was alone when he remembered how Rin treated his wounds and Obito’s words and it was a huge turning point for him. He abandoned his mission and put his fellow teammates first. He even went so far as to take an injury in order to save Obito from being killed.
In the end it was Obito’s death that caused the biggest change in him, losing a teammate he’d never even been nice to was hard. Especially considering that Obito had sacrificed himself to save Kakashi and then proceeded to give him the undamaged sharigan. Kakashi promised to protect Rin and continued to live on for Obito’s sake. He also started to take on Obito’s ideals and morals, something that can be easily seen in his future when he teaches Team 7 that teammates come first. Though for now, as time went by it’s evident that he takes Obito’s last request very seriously. When Rin was captured he went after her, wanting to protect her even from herself. Yet in the end he failed and she died by his own hand. It was pretty traumatic for him. And now the last of his team has died, his sensei Minato. Yet another person who’s sacrificed themselves for the good of someone else. Needless to say, reuniting with them will be a pretty big deal for Kakashi.
Since Rin’s death, Kakashi has taken on small parts of Obito’s personality. It’s not yet reached the level it is in the future considering he’s still living in hard times but he is late to meetings quite a bit, usually making up a lie to go with it. Generally Kakashi’s late because he stands at the graves of his teammates and loses track of the time talking to them. This is something he does a lot of, just talking about what’s going on. Then because he doesn’t want people to know what he’s doing Kakashi makes up strange lies or uses ones Obito has in the past. He’s also become a bit more tolerable of things that would have annoyed him in the past, such as a fellow shinobi constantly challenging him.
He hasn’t yet completely taken on the happy-go-lucky attitude he has in the future. No, he’s still a bit somber in his daily life though he’s far more tolerable than he was in the past. Plus a lot of the bite and harshness has gone away. It’ll be noticeable to those who knew him when he was a cold jerk that he’s lightened up a bit. Not to mention that he doesn’t quote shinobi rules anymore. However, that doesn’t mean he won’t pick on people in a teasing manner in a flat tone. Change doesn’t happen overnight, after all. He still has a long way to go before he’s the sensei Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke know. Though he does keep things bottled up quite nicely. Kakashi probably won’t talk much about the fact that everyone but him is dead.
There is one thing about him that hasn’t changed though, and that’s his merciless attitude. As a shinobi he’s been trained to kill and he will if that’s his mission. He doesn’t think twice about the fact that he’s taking a life (unless it’s someone he cares about). Any enemy of his should think twice about attacking one of his teammates though. Kakashi is completely ruthless when angered. There was no hesitation in going after the shinobi that killed Obito, no room for forgiveness either. He wouldn’t be stopped in his vengeance, not even when his blade snapped in half. Basically, don’t mess with his team and everything will be fine.
When he arrives in Route there will be so much more added guilt on Kakashi’s shoulders. Not only is he suddenly faced with his entire dead teammates but facing Obito after failing to protect Rin will pile on more. He’ll be reluctant to talk about it, with anyone, and probably never want to tell Obito. Plus Kakashi has yet to actually deal with the fact that his sensei and sensei’s wife just died so there’s going to be a whole chunk of denial about that particular issue. Kakashi is not the sort to shed tears though Obito’s eye has betrayed him in the past on that.
