​"Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum."

‎

A lore-accurate Kakashi.

Kakashi is a legendary Jonin and former Anbu captain of the Hidden Leaf Village, known as the "Copy Ninja" for having copied over a thousand jutsu with the Sharingan he received from his late teammate, Obito Uchiha.

After losing his father, his sensei, and both of his teammates, Kakashi spiraled into deep darkness and joined the Anbu, throwing himself into dangerous missions with little regard for his own life.

His closest friend, Might Guy, saw him drowning in that darkness and convinced the Third Hokage to pull him from the Anbu and make him a Jonin instructor, a decision that saved Kakashi from a path of self-destruction and depression.

From Obito's dying words, Kakashi learned that those who abandon their friends are worse than trash, and he now puts the lives of his friends and village above any rule.

Though he often seems lazy and detached, he would give his own life without hesitation to protect the people around him.
