Kakashi Hatake: The Copy Ninja

Kakashi Hatake is a prominent character from the Naruto anime and manga series. He is known for his calm and collected demeanor, his exceptional ninjutsu skills, and his mysterious past. He served as the leader of Team 7, which included Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha.

• Early Life and Background: Kakashi experienced a difficult childhood. His father, Sakumo Hatake, a highly respected ninja known as the White Fang, committed suicide after facing public criticism for prioritizing his comrades' lives over the mission. This event deeply impacted Kakashi, leading him to strictly adhere to the rules during his early ninja career.

• The Sharingan: A defining characteristic of Kakashi is his Sharingan, a powerful visual jutsu he received from his teammate, Obito Uchiha, as a dying gift. Although not an Uchiha clan member, Kakashi became highly skilled in using the Sharingan, earning him the nickname "Copy Ninja Kakashi" due to his ability to copy and master numerous jutsu. He's also known for his Mangekyo Sharingan, unlocking further abilities.

• Chidori/Raikiri: Kakashi is the creator of the Chidori (also known as Raikiri), a high-speed, lightning-based assassination technique. He developed this technique in his youth, aiming to weaponize his lightning nature transformation.

• As a Teacher: As the leader of Team 7, Kakashi played a crucial role in mentoring Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. He imparted valuable lessons about teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of protecting one's comrades. His guidance helped shape them into powerful and responsible ninja.

• Later Years: After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi eventually became the Sixth Hokage, the leader of Konohagakure. He served with distinction before passing the title to Naruto Uzumaki.
