Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hatake Kakashi, an elite ninja for the Leaf Village, isn't what you first think might think of him. A first impression of him (at least with his students) is that he's clumsy, laid back, and always late. But later on you see how extremely talented and dedicated he is towards his work.



Kakashi became a chunnin (an average ninja) when he was just six years old. He then became a jounin (elite ninja) at a young age afterwards. Not much is specifically known about his past since he doesn't talk about himself much (not even to his own students 0_o).


One thing about Kakashi is that he is very intent on teaching the importance of friendship. His best friend was killed in a mission (details of it is still unknown) but since then, Kakashi has always put his comrade's welfare before his own. Actually, Naruto and his team are the only students Kakashi ever accepted as his students. He failed every other gennin (apprentice ninja) that was assigned to him but he decided to pass Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura because they proved to him no matter what the rules were, they were going to look out for the well-being of eachother. Kakashi has a pretty warped sense of humor too ^^. With the exam with Naruto, Kakashi appeared behind his back and gave him a super powerful poke in the a** (launches poor Naruto into the air in pain ^^; wink to show him to never leave an opening. He also taught his students how to control chakra (spiritual energy) by climbing trees by walking up them. Ah, and another quirky thing about Kakashi he loves to read the romance novel series "Come Come Paradise"...that has many adult scenes. Kakashi was actually reading it while Naruto and his team were trying to defeat him...blushing and laughing while reading it at the same time ^^;;



But Kakashi didn't become an elite ninja just for his teaching skills. Kakashi possesses a Sharingan for his left eye (a special eye that is able to copy your opponents techniques). Kakashi didn't originally have the Sharingan but he had to have it surgically implanted when he took it from somebody else (obviously somebody dead). But with his Sharingan, Kakashi earned the reputation in the ninja world as the man who copied over 1,000 jutsu (moves). But since the Sharingan is sought after and takes so much of his energy and stamina, Kakashi always keeps his left eye hidden with his forehead protector slanted over it. But when he shows his left eye, you know that the situation is serious.


Hatake Kakashi is actually the most popular character in Naruto (according to the national poll that Kishimoto Masashi did for the manga) and people adore his character for the fact that he's only human, only he does a really good job at kicking a** while he is XD I hope this site dedicated to Kakashi shows how great a character he is in the series and hopes that more fans get to know how well-developed the Naruto series is. ^^





Kakashi's Fighting Style


Kakashi is probably one of the strongest ninjas out there, and is considered to be a genious among Konoha Jounins. Trained under the 4th Hokage, he has a great talent for a shinobi, because besides his greatly balanced skills, he also receives help from the Sharingan- something that aids him greatly in battles. Kakashi has the amazing ability to think fast and effectively, without endagering his teammates, but without sacrificing his life is either. Either way, Kakashi's main goal in a mission isn't to make it out safely; it is to make sure that his teammates are not hurt, and that the mission is successfully completed. He will give up his life for anything that threatens the peace. Kakashi is an overall great ninja, and he can use NinJutsu just as well as he can use TaiJutsu and GenJutsu. His knowledge with the Sharingan is very good, but although he isn't as powerful as Uchiha Itachi with it, he can still get his way around with the enemy. The Sharingan also aids him by giving him the ability to copy techniques off enemies, which is the reason behind Kakashi's wide range of techniques. This talented Jounin has copied so many Jutsu's throughout his experiences in life, he has been known as Copy Kakashi. Among his many techniques, there is Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, Doton Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu, Mizu Bunshin, Ninpou Kutchiyose, and Suiton Daibakufu no Jutsu. Finally, Kakashi's knowledge with weapons is great; although not as great with them as other shinobis, Kakashi manages to use kunai's and shuriken's to his advantage even in a heated battle, without missing his aim. Although not very widely used, Kakashi is a talented ninja even with GenJutsu. Using his Sharingan, he can trick the opponent into using a technique he has in mind, then use the exact same technique to counter-attack, givin him an advantage in battle. Kakashi is also a good martial artist, and he is in great physical shape. He always manages to use his quick reflexes and strong blows to his advantage, and he doesn't get exhausted that easy. All in all, he is as powerful as he is mentally as he is physically. This shinobi's most notable skill is his one unique NinJutsu; Chidori. Also known as Raikiri, the Chidori is one of the most powerful NinJutsu's out there, and can prove to be lethal to any person. The technique starts out with the shinobi performing a few hand seals, then placing his hands on a peculiar position, palms facing forward. Chakra is then gathered in a sphere-like shape on the palms; however, this is the lengthier phase of the attack because all the Chakra amount gathered is huge. So huge, which appears as blue lightning around the user's hands. Its other name, Raikiri (which translates into lightning edge) was given to it because After gathering all the required Chakra, Kakashi will release his hands towards the opponent, and charge with the Chidori on one hand, then plunge into one of the enemy's vital organs. Because of the vast amounts of Chakra it uses up, the Chidori can be used only a few times in a battle, before the ninja's chakra is drained completely. To be exact, Kakashi can use this technique about 4 times in all, after which he must rest for long hours. However, most likely Kakashi will make sure the attack will land on the opponent, and he will not be charging around with the Chidori on his hand.
