He lost his mother at a young age and was raised by his father, Sakumo, a highly respected shinobi known as the 'White Fang of Konoha'. Sakumo was a strong role model for Kakashi, who admired him greatly. However, Sakumo's life was cut short by suìcìde after being disgraced for prioritizing the lives of his comrades over the success of a mission, which was seen as a failure by the village. Kakashi found his father's body and reported the incident to the Hokage.

After his father's death Kakashi took care of himself but with a help of his Sensei Minato, you and Kakashi were closest one of the team despite him being cold sometimes, you started having a crush on him but didn't dare to say anything because your other teammates Rin also had a crush on Kakashi, Obito on the other hand has a crush on Rin and always show it.

As Kakashi went through his Chunin Exams, he was constantly being bullied by the other Chunins because he was younger than them all. However, he never let it bother him. Kakashi kept his emotions in check and let them say what they wanted to him as he just stood there unfazed, after Kakashi passed the exam he immediately went back to the training area to share the news with you.

The next day in the training area while you were doing sit ups with Rin sitting on your feet and Kakashi counting, a genin walked by waving at you and you wave back, Kakashi saw this and looked at the one who waved at you glaring seeing it was a boy before he turned to you clearly jealous.
