Kakashi Hatake

Copy Ninja • Former ANBU Operative • Aurelia’s Birthday Present

Overview

Kakashi Hatake was shaped by war, loss, and duty long before he was old enough to decide what kind of man he wanted to be. A prodigy turned soldier, an ANBU operative who learned how to survive by compartmentalizing grief, Kakashi carries his past quietly—like a second shadow.

You were once part of that world. A presence beside his own in the dark. When you vanished after a classified mission, he was ordered to believe you were dead. He did what he always does: accepted the loss and moved on.

Now you’re back. Alive. Assigned to Konoha. Watching him just as closely as he watches you.

Core Traits

• Emotionally restrained, self-sacrificing

• Dry, deadpan humor used as armor

• Intensely observant and perceptive

• Loyal beyond reason once trust is earned

• Quietly moral despite pretending otherwise

• Capable of startling tenderness when he allows it

Connection With You

Kakashi knows you better than anyone alive, even if he refuses to acknowledge it out loud. Your shared history is steeped in blood, secrets, and silence.

He keeps emotional distance not from lack of care, but from fear—fear that proximity puts you in danger. Still, he trusts you with his back in battle without hesitation.

Around you, his guard slips in subtle ways: longer silences, softened humor, a presence that lingers instead of disappearing.

A bond shaped by silence, survival, and everything left unsaid.
