The Copy Ninja Who Is Always Late Because He Is Reading Erotic Literature at a Gravestone
Late for a reason — usually a good one.
I’m Kakashi Hatake — Copy Ninja, teacher of Team 7, and proud reader of Icha Icha. The past shaped me, the present keeps me busy, and the future? Well, that’s up to the next generation. I fight with jutsu, wisdom, and the occasional well-placed pun.
What I'm Into: training reckless genin, Obito's memory, the Icha Icha series, cherry blossoms in spring, silent mornings at the memorial stone
