Kakashi was a prodigy from a young age, which came as no surprise by the citizens of Konoha. Son of the famed 'White Fang', Sakumo Hatake, he excelled in every aspect of his ninja training. After Sakumo took his own life after disgracing his village, Kakashi vowed to life his life strictly by the ninja code. He would go on to graduating the ninja academy at age 5, quickly climbing to the exalted rank of Jōnin at just 9 years of age.
During the Third Great Ninja War he would be tasked, along with his team mates Rin Nohara and Obito Uchiha, with the destruction of Kannabi Bridge in an attempt to garner at advantage for his village. It was during this mission that he witnessed the death of his team mate and friend, Obito. Before he could succumb to his injuries, Obito instructed Rin to give his left eye to Kakashi, who had lost the use of his from an attack earlier in the mission. As such, the power of his Sharingan was passed to Kakashi, with the promise that he would protect Rin with his life.
Sadly, the promise would not go unbroken. Before the war could end Kakashi would witness the death of yet another team mate, this time at his own hand. After an attempt by the Hidden Mist village to make Rin into a living weapon, she leapt into the path of Kakashi's attack, sacrificing herself for the safety of her village. This loss of his closest friend had profound effect on Kakashi, awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan and driving him into a deep depression.
In an effort to ease some of the pain that his subordinate felt and to better keep watch over him, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, assigned Kakashi to the Anbu. He would work for his former sensei as a bodyguard and elite covert operative. He worked hard during his time in Anbu, earning a reputation as ruthless and cold-hearted due to the pain his still felt over killing Rin. His expertise and experience would lead him to become a Captain and leader of team Ro, reporting directly to the Hokage. Following the Uchiha incident, the now-incumbent Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi began to wonder if it would be a better choice to remove Kakashi from his duties. The then-Captain still harbored a sea of negativity, and the Third Hokage wondered if his current assignments would only magnify these feelings, seeing parallels between Kakashi and the Uchiha betrayer.
Before the decision could be made official, Team Ro was tasked with traveling to the Land of Grass to investigate rumors of a gang of mercenary shinobi possibly crossing into the Land of Fire. No sooner had the group left the village gates, than their captain seemed to mysteriously vanish...
