8 Facts About Hatake Kakashi, the 6th Hokage, That Are Rarely Known, Considered 'Trash' by His Friend

Obito Uchiha, Kakashi's friend, once called him "trash" for failing to protect Rin Nohara. This moment occurred when Kakashi, despite being a talented ninja, was too obedient to the rules and neglected the feelings of his teammates.

Chidori is a technique created by Kakashi that was originally designed to execute fast attacks. However, because it requires super vision to maximize its potential, he ultimately combined it with Obito's Sharingan.

His father, Sakumo Hatake, was nicknamed "The White Fang of Konoha." Unfortunately, Sakumo's reputation was destroyed after he failed a major mission to save his friend. This tragedy caused Kakashi to grow into a ninja who prioritizes rules above all else.

Kakashi was appointed as the 6th Hokage after the Fourth Ninja World War. Uniquely, he had already lost his Sharingan by that time, yet he was still deemed worthy due to his wisdom and leadership skills.

Kakashi harbors deep guilt over the deaths of Obito, Rin, and his father. This trauma made him a closed-off person who appeared cold at the beginning of the story.

Kakashi is a huge fan of the Icha Icha book series by Jiraiya. Although he seems serious, he often reads this book in his spare time, even in critical situations!

Kakashi may seem lazy and relaxed, but he always imparts valuable lessons to his students. His philosophy on teamwork forms the foundation of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's strength.

Besides being the "Copy Ninja," Kakashi is also known as "The Shadow of Konoha" due to his stealth skills. This nickname reflects his reputation as one of the greatest ninjas of all time.
