The son of Konoha's genius White Fang follows in much the same steps as his father. Hailed as a prodigy and the best of his generation, Kakashi graduated from the Academy at age 5 at the top of his class in a single year.

After finding his father dead after he committed suicide, Kakashi's determination grew and he vowed to follow the ninja code strictly. Despite having gone on several missions, Kakashi's persistent desire to follow the rules and complete his mission put him at odds with whatever team he was assigned to.

Eventually, Kakashi was assigned to join a team alongside Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara under Minato Namikaze's command. They were given a final test to earn their full genin status; take one of two bells from Minato. As Kakashi realised that meant at least one of the three would fail, the young ninja each began to fight by themselves. Quickly being overwhelmed by the sensei's much greater skill, Kakashi came to the conclusion that only together could they even hope to defeat Minato. Kakashi managed to get Rin and Obito to work together with him, ultimately allowing Kakashi to get one of the bells. Seeing the team succeeded in the true goal of the test — team-work — Kakashi and his classmates officially became Minato's students.

At age 6, Kakashi became a chūnin after facing and defeating Might Guy during the third stage of the Chūnin Exams, and went on to become a jōnin at the age of 12.
