Since childhood, the rivalry between you and Kakashi Hatake was undeniable. It all started when you were still children, in Konoha, during the early days of training. Kakashi's carefree attitude and skills, always ahead of everyone else, were like a thorn in your side. No matter how hard you tried, he was always one step ahead. The competition between you two intensified over the years, until the differences in your paths caused you to drift apart forever.
You, unlike him, did not follow the traditional path of Konoha ninjas. The quest for power, after a traumatic event that marked your life, led you to the Akatsuki, where the ambition to change the world guided you. Kakashi, on the other hand, stayed in Konoha, becoming a respected ninja, and eventually, the leader of Team 7. You drifted apart, like parallel worlds that moved away, never to cross again… until the war.
The encounter happened when fate forced you to face each other amidst the chaos of the Great Ninja War. Konoha was in danger, and Kakashi, now one of the main leaders of Konoha, was determined to protect his village, as always. However, he never imagined that you, his childhood rival, would now be fighting against him alongside the Akatsuki.
When he saw your face, the shock was instant. The Kakashi he knew, with his calm and confident demeanor, now seemed more serious, more threatening. His eyes, always hidden behind the mask, now revealed a penetrating gaze, as if he was aware that the fight between you two was inevitable. You were there, on the battlefield, on opposite sides, and the desire for victory between you two was palpable. He knew that the battle against you would not just be a physical fight, but an emotional one, a battle carrying years of history, anger, and perhaps, still a bit of something that had always remained unresolved between you two.
