Kakashi Hatake || Naruto || Reserved Part II

Strengths/Weaknesses:

◆ As a shinobi Kakashi has stealth skills.
◆ He's been trained in hand-to-hand combat along with kunai, shurikens and short swords.
◆ His strength and agility are also far better than a normal 14 year old.
◆ Kakashi has intelligence, skill and aptitude. He graduated the Academy at five years old after only a year and joined his team. He became a Chunin a year after joining the team and was also the first out of his teammates to become a Jounin. That means he's capable of leading his team. (Though honestly, both of his teammates died when he was in charge.)
◆ Perceptive. Even without the use of the Sharigan, Kakashi was always able to detect when trouble was near.
◆ Determined. Kakashi is always looking to strengthen himself. It's important in attempting to protect the ones he cares about
◆ Survivor. Not only has Kakashi survived the deaths of his entire team, he survived a war. While he may not exactly be happy about it he lives on.
◆ Creative. Only maybe not so much anymore. He created a new jutsu called the Chidori and later the Raikiri. This shows that he had some level of creativity before he became known as the Copy Ninja.
◆ Obito. Okay so maybe a few would think that Obito is kind of a weakness because he's a derp but actually, he kind of brought out the best in Kakashi. He made Kakashi start thinking about his feelings and abandon his previous way of thinking that emotions are unnecessary baggage. Since Obito's death, he's far more focused on saving/helping his teammates now and loosened up a little.
◆ Loosened up some. He used to be such a stick-in-the-mud, always reciting rules and putting Obito down. While he'll still poke fun at Obito's expense (and possibly others), there won't be nearly as much malice in it.
◆ His mask. It's something Kakashi wears a lot of the time. It's great for hiding a good chunk of his face and can give him an excellent poker face. Also, great material for poking fun at people who want to see under it.
◆ First-aid training. He can tend to minor wounds with a first-aid like kit. Though Kakashi generally left the healing to Rin.

◈ Teammates.
They're Kakashi's biggest strength and weakness. He finally learned what it meant to be a teammate, accepted that it was okay to put them before the mission and what do they do? They up and die on him. ALL OF THEM. In about a year span. Obviously he'll be overprotective of all of them which could be considered a great weakness - especially in the shinobi world.
◈ His father.
When Kakashi's father committed suicide due to the ridicule of choosing to save his teammates instead of completing his mission, it set Kakashi on the path to pushing away everything that was unnecessary. It made him a bit of a jerk, to be honest. He's slowly getting away from that but Konoha wasn't built in a day.
◈ His eyes.
Under normal circumstances Kakashi's left eye is a great help to him thanks to the fact that he implanted Obito's Sharigan in it. While he'll still be able to use it to see, it'll lose it's special abilities to let him see chakra. Also, he covers it a lot (due to the fact that overuse can tire him out), which means he has to compensate for the lack of full peripheral vision. It'll be a little weird adjusting to both these things and thus a weakness. Note: His left eye will look like a sharigan (because it never changes back to normal) but will be useless except to see with.
◈ Gai.
Kakashi's long-time rival. Or something. Gai seems to think that he needs to beat Kakashi so he's constantly challenging him. Kakashi acts aloof about the whole thing but agrees in the end. Actually, this is a bonding experience for them. It builds trust and camaraderie.

◇ Guilt. OMG so much guilt you can't even begin to understand. Guilt for killing Rin, for not saving Obito & Minato, for breaking his promise to Obito.
◇ Lots of repressed emotions and memories. How could he not when he saw his two teammates die (killed one of them) and just got news of his Minato and Kushina's death too. He won't want to talk about it.
◇ Still has that harsh attitude as a defense mechanism. He hasn't yet completely transitioned over to being more Obito-like.
◇ Tardiness and lying. That is one thing he's sort of gotten from Obito, always being late and having a story to go with it. Except while Obito was actually sometimes helping little old ladies across town, Kakashi spends every morning talking to Rin and Obito's grave. He tends to lose track of time when he does this.
◇ Porn addiction. Okay, maybe not yet but give it a few years and it will be. He'll become so obsessed with Icha Icha series that even Naruto could use spoilers to make older-Kakashi lose a fight.
◇ It might be a little hard for him to form deep bonds. After the losses he's suffered he'll be a bit hesitant at first but he'll come around eventually.

Samples
First Person Sample:

[Video]

[Congratulations, Citizens of the Pokemon World. There is a video of a white haired teenage boy wearing a mask over the lower portion of his face but it doesn't stop with that. He also has a dark blue headband pulled down over his left eye. Behind him are the clear signs of trees and open wilderness and in his hand is the paper map.]

What can you tell me about the Gym Leaders in Johto?

Their strengths, weaknesses, how tough you found them to be when you fought them. Anything about your fight with them. I'm attempting to map out our journey but as it turns out my teammate is completely useless on this matter. [The words sound like they should be cruel but they lack bite.]

So the more information, the better.

Third Person Sample:

As if the weird woman calling herself 'mom', the green dog and the music wasn't strange enough, Kakashi also couldn't see through this genjutsu. His left eye wasn't working the way it should - the way it had since the day he'd gotten it. So he pulled of his hitae-ai and used it's reflective surface to look at it. The sharigan still swirled, red with black tomoe. Obito's eye looked like it had the last time Kakashi looked at it so why wasn't it working. He replaces his hitae-ai, pulling it low over his left eye to hide the mismatched eyes and scar. Maybe there would be someone here he could ask.

Time to dig through his bag and see what sort of supplies he had. A pair of clothes, an odd device that could serve as communication, some necessities, food and more importantly - papers. Papers meant information. There was a map and information about being a trainer. He supposed that's why the dog had followed him away from the house as he packed everything back up except for the papers and the communication device. It didn't escape his notice that his weapons were gone. Looks like he really will have to depend on the animal for protection until he could find replacements.

Kakashi stopped to look down at the dog and the dog looked back. "So what am I going to name you?"

The dog sat back on his haunches and wagged his tail in the dirt. In response the ninja crossed his arms over his chest. "What can you do?"

"Electrike!" Well, that was a weird response. Kakashi pointed his communication device at him and he tensed a little when it started talking. He listened to it closely though. "So you're an electric-type Pokemon. I've got just the name for you then. From now on you're going to be Chidori."

It jumped up, putting both front feet on Kakashi's leg and licking his hand enthusiastically. He pushed it down with a stern no. If he was supposed to train this thing then it would not jump on people unless invited. He started toward the road, intent on getting underway as there wasn't much point to sticking around here. "Let's go see if there's anyone we know here, Chidori. And keep quiet about it, now's a good time to learn stealth."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth Kakashi grew tense. There wasn't really anyone left to seek out. Not now that sensei had joined the rest of the team in the afterlife. Sure there was Guy and several others but no teammates. Maybe it was best if he just stuck it out on his own at this point. Yeah, that's what he'd do.
