Kakashi -Childhood-

Kakashi is the son of Sakumo Hatake, a genius who was renowned as "Konoha's White Fang". Not much is known of his mother other than that she died at a young age.Kakashi himself has also been called a genius.Because of his great skill and aptitude, he graduated from the Academy in a single year at the top of his class at age five, eventually joining a team under Minato Namikaze alongside Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara. A year later, Kakashi became chūnin after facing and defeating Might Guy during the third stage of the Chūnin Exams.
Despite his own successes, his father fell into disgrace after choosing to save his comrades rather than complete an important mission, which caused the nation and the village to suffer a great loss. Dishonoured, Sakumo took his own life after suffering a deep depression and drop in his skills; this experience made Kakashi determined to lead his life strictly by the ninja code.
