Welcome to my site archives. 10 posts are listed per page.
Hm, hm, hm...
Well, now, only two more days left until school begins.
Brace yourselves, my comrades...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~!!!
Well, on the bright side, I was able to glance at the newest Naruto manga chapter. :D
I felt so sure the final clash between Itachi and Sasuke would begin, but they decided to movie to a different area...
On the other hand, we finally discovered who Naruto's parents are! :D
Naruto's father (obviously) is indeed the 4th Hokage, or his real name: Minato Namikaze. Those who failed to recognize even the similarities...I'm fairly disappointed in you. -_-
And then it talked about Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki (that sounds pretty) :)
and that she had red hair and she had passed her personality traits (being stubborn and tomboyish) and her ninjustu-style to Naruto, and that she was really pretty. :D
Well...I hope things turn out well for Naruto! :D
I feel nervous for Jiraiya...he might have to face Pein! O_O
But, I really, REALLY hope that Kakashi will be alright. :3
*hugs*
Well, my brother's friend may be coming over today, so I have something to look foward to!
And also, they'll be showing episode 101 on CartoonNetwork today, and I'm really ready to tape it! :D
Just have to wait several hours now...but it'll be worth it! I also had the chance to take a look at some our school clubs, and they look mighty interesting. There's even a CHRISTIAN CLUB! :D
I want to join that for sure!
Awwwwwww. :3
So sweet... :P
*hugs picture*
What a sweet, sweet man. :3
*blushes*
And now for a couple of vids! :D
Yes, once again, I'm putting up this vid. It's so beautiful, and it's kinda my main idea for a Christian AMV! Please, people, try to help us in our club! We'd love requests! :D
Well, I can honestly say that I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I went to bed at midnight, and slept until 3:30. Then I put in a CD to listen to, until 5:00 AM, which I promptly stayed half-awake, half-asleep to listen to. Then I was able to sleep peacefully for the rest of the night until 9:00 AM. -_-
How many hours is that total, class?
About 10 hours, which is normal, but the time I spent sleeping in was terrible...I need to start breaking my summer habits pronto...
Well, otherwise than that, I played Ultimate Ninja 2 today... :3
I love the Gedo Mark arc...I swear, it would have made a great filler if it were in the anime! :D
Then my dad took my brother and I to Whataburger to eat for lunch (yay!) and we talked. ^_^
And I can't wait for the next manga chapter and next Shipuuden episode to come out! :3
And also *readies tape in TV* I WILL record episode 101 this Saturday! XD
And the Naruto movie when it airs on Toonami soon! :3
This vid (well...the song, anyway) is the same song our church sang and danced to all the time at our church camp. :D
You could call it our 'group theme song' or something like that...
Out of Eden - SOLDIERS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gigp56xrYAE
...
As for anything else that I may have to add, I'm still searching for a good flash program (I have no idea if you have to download them or buy them... T_T) for that 'project' Kirby and I thought about...that I still hope we can do soon. :3
Beezy
Whoo....I have been busy for the past few days.
-_-
Yeah...going into to town, buying school supplies, watching the Naruto Hundo, cleaning the house...busy, busy, busy!
But, at least I can relax a bit. My mom keeps on bugging me by reminding me that when school starts, I won't be on the computer as much. But I have ways around it; I'll try coming on weekends, if I'm not busy. Sure, I'll be ignoring my mom, but, still, I'm working hard at school, and I deserve a break now and then as well doing the things I like...
I'll be on, I promise. ;)
Anyways, I saw the 100th English episode of Naruto today on YouTube. Such a wonderful episode, and well done! :D
Lee was funny, too, and sad when he told Guy-sensei of his serious plight. :)
Now...this week, I am DEFINATLY planning to tape episode 101! I'll prepare the vid on Thurs. and then I WILL watch and I WILL tape it! And when the Naruto movie shows on as well, I WILL tape that also! But, I still want the DVD...so...I'll be waiting for that as a Christmas or birthday present, maybe even earlier if I'm lucky. :)
As for today, I also watched the Final Fantasy VII gameplay vids on YouTube. There were 108 parts in total, each about 10 minutes each, so I'm guessing it's an incrdibly long game...I watched the first 13 or so, then skipped to the 40s, 60s, and finally, the last two clips. The graphics aren't so impressive now (I'm sure they were when the game was first released. They have Ocarina of Time-like graphics) but the story and character gameplay is AMAZING!
Sure, I just spoiled myself to part of the game now. :P
*laughs* One of my favorite parts was when Cloud was forced to dress as a woman to see Tifa (Areith went with him) and when the rich guy whom Tifa was investigating about was about to choose his new brie for the night, the canadites were Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud...and who do you think he picked?
...
The lovely cross-dresser, of course. XD
Seriously, I was laughing at the screen. Poor Cloud...and then the guy asked Cloud. 'What do YOU wanna do?' and then Cloud answers 'Whatever YOU want to darling?' and then the guy gets all happy and excited, and then he says, 'A KISS! Gimme a huge kiss!' Okay...going to far? Cloud almost DID give him a kiss, but was saved by the girls (Thank you!!!). The guy's reaction when Cloud pulled off the costume was surprised. XD
And the music was lovely too...especially the themes. I think I'll look for some later...
And also, we went to see Evan Almighty yesterday! :D
It was a great movie; really funny, and it did bring out a good message overall. :P
Naruto's English voice actress, Maile Flanagan, plays the mailcarrier to Evan's house...near the middle of the movie or so. Thank you, wikipedia! :D
I told my brother at the end of the movie, 'Did you see her?! Did you see her?!' And, of course, he said yes.
And also besides that, just looking at Anime conventions. :D
I saw one for Blood+, the English dub, and it had Crispin Freeman, Dave Wittenberg, and Ben Diskin. They seem really great and nice in person. :D
Well, here's a fitting Naruto Disney AMV for you guys! :D
*reads Make-Out Paradise*
I deleted the chatbox on my page, because for some reason, it just stopped working for me...so, my chatbox will be down and gone for as long as if it fails on me (if and when it begins working again for me, I'll put it back on).
Anyways, we got further on Kingdom Hearts (the first game) after so long. :)
And I finally found Ursula's cave, but fighting her's a pain; I keep on dying. :P
Sora's much easier to control in the second game, but, still, I like the first game, too. And I had no idea that Sora, played by Haley Joel Osment, is brother to Emily Osment, who plays Lily on Hannah Montana. Kingdom Hearts and Hannah Montana are connected! XD
Why the heck do I like learning about these things? Besides, for some reason, I just do. :P
I actually like learning about actors and voice actors and their other works (that's how I found myself watching Advent Children. XD)
Anyways, I have to thank Sera, because I finally know why the music keeps on playing in my quiz page. :P
I really had no idea it was coming from one of my own quiz results. LOL.
14 pages now, and I'm still going strong! ^_^
Anyways, the shoutbox on Kirby's box seems to have gone...*cough* boy-crazy or something, so...I'll just wait until I feel that some pressure has gone down a bit. ^_^;
Awww, what a cute comic. :3
I don't like Pepsi either...or any kind of soda. I hate them. >X
They all taste nasty to me for some reason...
And I'm beginning to think I'm the only human on earth who hates all of them. >X
Your probably don't, but since this is my post, I make the rules around here...so HA! XD
I found out yesterday that...two more characters from Naruto play in that movie I posted in yesterday.
Gaara, or rather his voice actor, Liam O'Brian, plays the tiger-like creature Red XIII...although he only has one line, near the ending. ^_^;
Me, I probably never would have known. :P
And also, Gato, the main villain for the Land of Waves arc, or rather his voice actor, Fred Tatasciore, plays Loz, the third member of the Sephiroth villains.
Man...that's 7 Naruto actors altogether for one movie! O_O
Which also means, the fight with Reno (Iruka) and Rude (Itachi/Ebisu) vs Yazoo (Kakashi) and Loz (Gato) is a fight with all those actors! I was surprised and pleased for sure! :D
I am DEFINETLY gonna get this movie one day! :D
I still think Kakashi did a good job as Yazoo, even if he was a villain and almost killed Cloud... :3
He still sounded cool and relaxed, so it was almost easy to recognize him... :3
Kakashi, you rule in both English AND Japanese! :D
Anyways, I had a rather busy day, if more or less VERY enjoyable. :)
First off, earlier this morning, I felt a bit ill at first, but I began feeling better. Probably just a little bug. Yesterday, when I was playing with Lucy, I accidentally banged my face against the table, chair, or grandfather clock. It was dark, so I couldn't tell, and I blame myself for not turning on the light; I thought I didn't need to, though. As a result, my right cheekbone is now swollen and sore, although it's a bit better now. It just hurts whenever I touch it...it may just as well turn into a bruise. Oh well.
Anyways, my dad took my brother and I to the zoo. I think it was one of those hot 100 degree days, because it was blazing hot! Luckily, we got to feed the large catfish in the pond, the turtles, and the two jet black swans. ^_^
We also spent a majority of our tim ein the new aquariam (it was made in 2005) and we saw beatuful fish, the loveliest though was the pufferfish. It had beautiful shining eyes, that seemed to be made from precious jewels...when the light flashed against it, the pupil was a shining blue, that seemed to have particle specks in it, making it seem to shine. Covering it overall when the light shone, seemed to be like gold. I never really paid much attention to pufferfish until the first time we saw this cretaure; now I just can't seem to let go of it's gaze! XD
After going to the zoo, we went to Whataburger and ate...I was really happy, because it's my favorite burger-joint. ^_^
After that, we went to Barnes&Nobles. I looked at Avatar: The Last Airbender stuff, and took a look at the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 guide.
And finally after that, we went to the mall, taking a look at the video games...and what do you know what we found? We found FOUR Zelda games in one box overall! That's Zelda (the first game), Zelda II, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask. Kogatana got excited, because we never got to play Majora's Mask, and he and I had our eye on the game's story for quite a while...
Unfortunetly, it was about $60. ^_^;
Of course, it was just too good to be true.
So, he and I decided to pitch in and save upf or the game, if we could get it. If not, hey, at least we would have made a whole bunch of money! :D
Only time will tell, because I don't get too much money often...
That's pretty much it. What I need to do now, is prepare for the next chapter of my comedy on BZPower...I'm glad so many people love it. I never thought people would love my jokes. :D
Whoa...Lee! Nice pic, VERY hot... :P
Hee hee hee... :3
I wonder what the story would have turned out if that happened...
And here's the ballroom scene from FF VIII. It's so sweet! :3
Zabuza/Orochimaru - Steven Blum ~ Vincent Valentine
Kakashi/Gamakichi/Gamatatsu - Dave Wittenberg ~ Yazoo (he sounded so calm and relaxed in this movie, even if he is villain... :3)
Yes, I know...I have a thing for both English and Japanese Kakashi voice actors, don't I? :3
Still, they're all awesome actors, and they did a great job in this movie, along with other people. And I had no idea that Christy Carlson Romano played in this movie as well as Yuffie. ^_^;
And so, here I present to you Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (in English)

Bio# 3 - Hinata Hyuuga
Today, I'm adding Hinata's bio here, and also am putting pics of Naruto voice actors with their characters (which are shown on the Naruto Nippon web page).
Physical Information
Age: 15
Sex: Female
Birthday: 12/27
Bloodtype: A
Height: 148.3 cm (Pt 1)
Weight: 38.2 kg (Pt 1)
First Manga Appearance: Chapter 34
First Anime Appearance: Episode 1
Name Meaning: Hyuuga=Towards the sun, Hinata=Sunny place
Hyuuga Hinata is a member of the main house of the Hyuuga clan, a noble family living in Konoha. Her first appearance in the series marks her as shy, timid and meek, which changes very little throughout. Hinata is assigned to the 3-man team number 8, comprising of herself, Aburame Shino and Inuzuka Kiba, watched by Jounin sensei Yuuhi Kurenai. With her bloodline’s special ability, the Byakugan or White Eye, she can see far off into the distance and through objects, complimenting Kiba’s sense of smell and Shino’s homing abilities.
Hinata is first introduced gazing at Naruto, making it known she looks at him with admiration but is too shy to say anything. This becomes a running joke later on, where the mere sight of Naruto can cause her to become paralyzed or faint. Hinata was successfully entered into and participated in the Chuunin Exam, proceeding to the preliminaries for the third round. During their time in the forest of death, she and her team had a near miss with Gaara’s team, witnessing the terrifying power he commanded. It was during the preliminaries that she took her time in the spotlight as the random matches pitted her against her cousin, Neji.
Neji more proficient at using the Byakugan and the Hyuuga-developed fighting style that used it. Before the match began, he noticed her body language and encouraged her to give up, telling her she wasn’t fit to be a ninja. The two engaged in a stunning hand-to-hand battle of the Juuken Ryuu (Gentle Fist) style, channelling chakra into their hands and along the body’s inner chakra pathways, causing internal damage. Despite their impressive fight, Neji was clearly the better fighter. During the battle, Neji expressed his contempt for the main house, due to him being a branch house member and considered inferior despite his skill. He also declared that Hinata’s inferiority was destined and that a loser would always be such, angering Naruto. Hinata was knocked down multiple times, but each time, thanks to Naruto’s encouragement to beat Neji and make him eat his words, she got back up. Her sensei Kurenai was surprised by Hinata's drive, thinking over how she lacked self-worth and how her lack of confidence led her to fail missions in the past.
The final straw came when Neji decided to put Hinata down for good with a blow that would have certainly been fatal. Before he could strike, most of the sensei jumped in to stop him. Outraged, Neji further taunted Hinata about how she was receiving mercy because of the preferential treatment the main house received. Despite his attack being stopped, Hinata collapsed anyway, coughing up blood and needing medical attention. It was on her blood that Naruto swore to defeat Neji for his attitude on "dropouts".
Hinata recovered over the following month. Shortly before the start of the third Chuunin test, she went to the Genin training area to think over her past and her self worth. There she met Naruto, who was unsure of himself before his upcoming battle with Neji. Hinata reassured Naruto that even though he made mistakes he never let them get the better of him. He always pushed to make himself better and he inspired her to never give up as well. This heartened Naruto and he let her know that though he thought she was weird before, he now knows he likes someone like her. Hinata was stunned by the news and stared blankly into space where Naruto had once been. She then left to watch the finals of the exam with Kiba. Hinata was still not fully healed and she began coughing again when Neji began to tell Naruto of their family's past. Kabuto, posing as an ANBU member offered to help her. He used his medical techniques to heal her, why he offered this help is unknown.
It was during this time we learned of the history of the Hyuuga and how the branch house members are branded with the sealing mark on their foreheads. It was the attempted kidnapping of Hinata by a Cloud ninja which lead to the eventual death of Neji's father Hizashi. Hinata's father Hiashi saved her by killing the Cloud ninja, and Cloud sought recompense for their dead ninja by asking for Hiashi's dead body in return. Hizashi chose to volunteer instead, much to his brother's dismay, all to go against the fate of the branch family. Back at the Chuunin Exam, Hinata remained unconscious during the invasion and from this point onwards, became less involved into the story to the point that her appearances were usually watching Naruto while hidden and silently supporting him.
Hinata enjoyed a much bigger role in the anime-only episodes, where she invented a new jutsu which combined the techniques Neji knew that she lacked, pioneering the Shugo Hakke Rokujyuyonshou, or Guardian Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand. Often paired up with and put in embarrassing situations with Naruto yet never developing their relationship, it was mostly fanservice for the popular coupling. She briefly returned in the manga, but only for a moment where upon catching sight of Naruto, she performed her signature fainting.
Hinata’s main role in Naruto so far has been as a quiet supporter for Naruto, already giving him the acknowledgement she craves before the series even begins. Her character is that of a timid and shy wallflower, who goes to almost stalker-like, obsessive lengths to follow him around. She manages to do so without being detected, a testament to her skill in hiding if nothing else. Hinata is immensely popular among fans, cited as being cute. Naruto and Hinata, while defying a lot of logic and being unlikely to happen, is among the most popular fan pairings despite Naruto not showing interest in her, contrasting his stubborn and forward attitude to trying to catch Sakura’s attention and early in the series, thinking of her as creepy and simply raising her status to tolerable later on.

Name Meaning: White
Haku was a resident of the Water Country. As a child, he was raised in a snowy village with his mother and father. One day, he discovered that he had the ability to manipulate water, showing his mother his ability to do so by making a small sphere of it hover above his palms. However, his discovery led to nothing more than a harsh slap from his mother. Haku was unaware that he was the bearer of an advanced bloodline, a trait in humans that allows them naturally-given superhuman abilities – in his case, Water and Wind element manipulation to create a new Ice element. His mother, too, was the bearer of this. Civil war in the Water Country led to both sides seeking those of an advanced bloodline and the resulting escalation led to major collateral damage. As a result, they were blamed and persecuted, possibly explaining his family’s isolation.
However, Haku’s father had witnessed his son using the power and in a prejudiced rage, killed his wife and then came for Haku himself. Cornered in his own house by his father and a mob of armed men, Haku acted in self-defense, killing the mob and his own father. With nothing left, Haku trudged through the snow away from the house, which was now little more than a hut of blood and stalagmites of ice. Haku lived as a wandering beggar for a while until he ran into the fleeing renegade ninja, Momochi Zabuza. Instead of rejecting Haku for his cursed blood, Zabuza took him with him. Haku understood all along that he was only being used as a weapon, but the desire to feel needed and wanted overcame that. Haku was then taught ninja arts by Zabuza and became just as dangerous as him, despite his age.
Haku first appeared in the story while masquerading as a Hunter-Ninja, one of those sent by the Hidden Mist village to kill and erase Zabuza’s body. He seemed to kill Zabuza, but merely paralyzed him. However, the first inconsistency occurred when he transported Zabuza away for dismantling, despite hunters usually taking apart the corpse on the spot. Once he had saved Zabuza from Kakashi’s Sharingan, he helped Zabuza recover at the headquarters of Gato, Zabuza’s temporary employer. Gato had hired Zabuza to kill a bridge architect that threatened the greedy businessman’s stranglehold on the poverty-stricken Wave Country through his extortionate shipping costs.
While Zabuza lay recovering, Gato appeared and mocked his lack of progress. Haku broke his intruding forearm as punishment. As Gato’s bodyguards moved in to retaliate, Haku drew their swords from their own sheaths in a flash and subdued them both by pressing their own swords up against their necks. All Gato could do in retaliation was to fire them if they failed again. Haku’s next movement was to gather herbs in the nearby forest, traveling in civilian clothing and with his long hair down.
While there, he found a sleeping Naruto who had been training. His first instinct was to choke Naruto, but instead, woke him up. Naruto mistook Haku for a girl initially, helping him gather herbs with a blush. The two talked for a while as Haku recalled his past, searching through trash to eat but giving up his findings to a mother dog and her pups. Naruto mentioned that he was in the forest to train and become stronger, which prompted Haku to tell him that a person is at their strongest when protecting a special person. As he left, he also corrected Naruto about his gender, shocking Naruto to a great degree.
During Zabuza’s second attack on Tazuna, Sasuke eliminated Zabuza’s water clones. Zabuza was amused and announced Sasuke to be a rival for Haku. The two locked horns, with Sasuke initially matching Haku’s speed and escaping his fierce ice-based attacks. Haku apologized, and then began to form a dome of flat ice panels around him: Demonic Ice Mirrors, Haku’s strongest technique. Walking into the back of a panel, he appeared inside all of them and proceeded to rip Sasuke up with blindingly fast needle attacks. Naruto managed to temporarily halt the assault, but only ended up foolishly putting himself in danger alongside Sasuke. The two slowly made progress, but Haku was forced to put Sasuke down, seeing him as the biggest danger.
When Naruto saw Sasuke seemingly dead, his rage grew to unspeakable size and the Kyuubi inside him manifested in a spiral of orange-red chakra, changing Naruto’s appearance to a more beastlike visage. Deflecting Haku’s needles with chakra and destroying his mirrors, Naruto’s terrible anger was channeled into a single punch, sending Haku through his own mirrors and dispelling the jutsu, as well as shattering his mask and showing his true face to Naruto. Naruto’s monstrous rage subsided, but he was still confused and angry. Haku explained that he was Zabuza’s tool and now no longer had a purpose for living following his failure, explaining his bloody past and rejection to Naruto. Naruto understood his loneliness, but Haku went on to request Naruto to kill him.
However, it was a trick. Haku deflected the attack and quickly disappeared into a puddle. As Kakashi charged to kill Zabuza, Haku appeared from a single Demonic Ice Mirror in front of him and Kakashi’s arm tore through his body. Haku held onto Kakashi’s penetrating arm as long as he could before he died, allowing Zabuza a final fatal cut at Kakashi, but Kakashi jumped back and took Haku with him, now a limp and lifeless corpse. Soon after, Gato showed up and announced his plan to kill Zabuza once Tazuna was dead, then began to mock and assault Haku’s corpse. After some words of encouragement from Naruto, Zabuza killed Gato in revenge, sustaining fatal injuries. Haku and Zabuza were buried alongside each other on a cliff top as companions.
Haku is a popular character to many, mostly for his pretty looks and gentle temperament. His relationship with Zabuza is very ambiguous among fans, with one side arguing that the two were lovers, the opposition stating they were a surrogate father and son. Regardless, his utter devotion to Zabuza was, in one form or another, a kind of love. Haku still shows up in Naruto’s mind, with his words about protecting people he holds precious becoming a part of his personality forever.

And I've finally created a banner for our Anime crusade, with the pic that chibisasukelover created for this. My regards to her, and I hope this is good enough. ^_^
Remember, this crusade asks of fellow anime Christians that, in any way possible, create banners, pictures, AMVs, stories, and whatever you can think up, or even just lend your support by asking others to join. This is all to serve Him, Jesus Christ, and to stand against the sins of this world (a good example, blasphamychallenge). So, please, lend your hand or your support, please!
Grave of the Fireflies - anime
Today, I'm not putting bios, I'm putting up an anime movie. Why? Because this is one of the most sweetest films you can ever see (that's one of my opinions), and I want to give people a chance to watch them. So, here is the anime version of Grave of the Fireflies, the English dub, by Studio Ghibli. If you're not going to watch, then, please, don't comment. I don't need any needless comments which I can't ponder about, okay? ^_^;
That's all for today. I'll put up the live-action version of this soon, probably in a few days...
Bye! ^_^ Comments (1) |

Kakashi is one of the series’ more popular characters and it’s easy to see why. With his lazy expression told with a single eye, aloof manner, relaxed voice and minimalist attitude, Kakashi can be relied upon to provide comic relief through his lack of attention. However, when required to be serious, Kakashi quickly switches to the polar opposite, focusing himself on the subject and not missing a single thing.
Many, both inside the ninja village and outside, know his reputation but he has few real friends. The closest he has is Maito Gai, another Jounin team leader. The pair forms a good comedy duo, with Kakashi assuming the role of the straight arrow while Gai’s over-the-top dialogue and actions often earn him a response in the vein of “Did you say something?” from Kakashi. Gai describes Kakashi as hip, cool and trendy but seems to be the main instigator of their rivalry, often making the situation more complicated and unusual than necessary.
Kakashi is the son of Hatake Sakumo; a ninja blessed with extreme skill which earned himself the nickname of Konoha’s White Fang. This was either due to his sharply pointed white hair or the family tanto he carried, which emitted a white chakra when used by a Hatake. Kakashi himself would later possess this. Sakumo’s reputation was comparable with that of The Legendary Three but his attitude proved to be his undoing. Sakumo aborted a mission that cost his village dearly, with the reason for the abortion being the safety of his comrades. Shamed, Sakumo took his own life. Kakashi grew up with a very cold attitude, basing efficiency in carrying out the mission to be the #1 priority.
Kakashi accomplished a lot in the younger years of his life. He was the student of the man who would go on to become the Fourth Hokage, taking over that man’s role as commander of his team. His reputation has been widely increased thanks to an unexpected advantage coming from the first mission he performed as a Jounin. During a war, Kakashi’s objective was to destroy a bridge that aided the enemy Rock ninja forces. In an encounter with them, the team’s medic, Rin, was kidnapped and interrogated by the enemy. Kakashi, seeing her as a hindrance to the team, made the decision to leave her. However, his other companion, Uchiha Obito, refused and rejected his ideals.
“Those who don’t follow the rules and regulations are trash”. Kakashi lived by the motto. “But those who don’t care about their companions are worse than trash!” Obito added to it. Obito set off on his own to rescue Rin, but Kakashi followed him and saved him from an ambush, which cost Kakashi his left eye. Obito felt consumed by doubt and in a vow to protect his friend, his eyes lit up in red and the Sharingan sprouted for the first time with a pair in each eye. His enhanced vision penetrated the enemy’s camouflage and he was able to strike him down.
Catching up to Rin, the pair ran into another enemy, who attempted to kill all three by crushing them with falling rocks. As one was about to strike Kakashi, Obito slung him aside and took the hit instead. Totally crushed on his right side, Obito knew his death was imminent and made the decision to have his left eye removed and implanted into Kakashi by Rin. Kakashi accepted it and sought revenge on the Rock ninja. The battle broke the tanto in half, perhaps symbolic of Kakashi’s heartlessly efficient motto only being half correct. Kakashi then fell back on the perfected version of his first self-created move: Chidori.
The Rock ninja was taken down, but reinforcements soon arrived. Fortunately the kunai Kakashi was carrying was modified to alert their sensei if it was thrown. Blanking out from exhaustion after he attempted Chidori, Kakashi awoke to find all the enemies gone and the team leader with them once more. Rin gazed off into the distance, thinking about the events of the day. Since the loss of Obito, Kakashi took on several of his personality traits. He started to relax the strictness of his punctuality and also made up poor yet amusing excuses for being late. In truth, visiting the grave marker of Obito every day caused his lateness. He also decided that the mission was no longer the #1 priority.
In the coming years, Kakashi would acquire his own nickname – Copy Ninja Kakashi, due to him using the ability of the Sharingan to steal or adapt techniques he saw with it. He would also join the elite ANBU, a squad of masked ninja who worked directly under the Hokage. Kakashi further honed his skills while an ANBU, and earned the respect of many fellow ANBU including "Yamato" and Uzuki Yuugao. It also appears it was during this period when Kakashi and Gai developed their eternal rivalry. At some point during this period he may have also signed his blood oath with his nin-dogs.
His next appearance in the series would come when the Third Hokage put him in charge of the current year’s Team Seven. His first impression of them wasn’t much, especially when Naruto decided to wedge a dusty chalk eraser in the door to come down on Kakashi’s head. The trio would be the first Genin to impress Kakashi enough to pass his bell test. None of the former Genin sent to him in the past had lived up to his standards. For that reason the trio could remain under his guidance and not be sent back to the Academy. Kakashi formed a good relationship with his team, acting as a voice of reason to Naruto, a comfort to Sakura and somewhat of a father figure to Sasuke, although much of his advice was tough love to cool down the fiery boy. Overall, he stressed a hybrid of his previous two mottos – Teamwork, with the strength of the solid team coming together to accomplish the mission.
Their first major mission together was to the Wave Country, where they were escorting the architect, Tazuna. Tazuna’s goal was to build a bridge to improve the economy for the country instead of paying the high prices charged by the shipping magnate, Gato, who had formed a monopoly on the country’s imports and exports. Gato had hired a number of renegade mercenary ninja, including the Demon Brothers, their superior, Momochi Zabuza and his young student and bodyguard, Haku. Kakashi defeated the Demon Brothers effortlessly and later brushed with Zabuza for the first time. Kakashi revealed his Sharingan and baffled Zabuza with it, cornering him. At this point, a disguised Haku rescued Zabuza under the façade of killing him and taking the body for disposal.
Kakashi was unconvinced, but drained from using the Sharingan. The eye was not properly compatible with his own body and use of it sucked out his chakra and left him weak. Despite this, he still managed to set a task for Naruto and Sasuke to compete to enhance their chakra control. When the trio did the task he was nicely surprised that Sakura was already at a decent enough level. A short while later Kakashi learned his hunch was right, as Zabuza returned with Haku to once again sabotage the bridge. Kakashi’s Sharingan was unable to have an effect on the battle as Zabuza had lowered visibility to the point that the required eye contact was not happening.
Naruto and Sasuke had been trapped by Haku, until Naruto’s rage built up to the point that Kakashi was growing worried from the presence of the Kyuubi’s chakra. Feeling the need to finish the fight, he held Zabuza with the aid of a group of summoned dogs, before preparing his finishing move – now bearing a nickname, the Raikiri. However, instead of killing Zabuza, Haku sacrificed himself as a human shield and gladly allowed Kakashi’s hand to penetrate his chest.
Gato turned up to finalize things, just after Kakashi had disabled Zabuza’s arms. Following a change of heart, Zabuza turned on his employer and killed him in front of his own personal band of mercenaries. Kakashi and Naruto helped drive the rest of them off with a massive series of clones, before returning home.
Soon after, Kakashi volunteered Team 7 for the Chuunin exams, to Iruka’s dismay. Kakashi would next appear during the exams after Sasuke’s first fight; using an incantation to suppress the Cursed Seal he had been given. As he finished, Orochimaru appeared behind the scenes. Kakashi threatened him with a Raikiri, but realized that to take on Orochimaru would be suicide. However, he was not satisfied with the attention Sasuke was under and checked on him just in time to see Kabuto attempting an assassination. Kakashi drove him away, but with no time to apprehend him. Perhaps for Sasuke’s own safety, Kakashi personally tutored him over the next month or so, teaching him the Chidori and encouraging the speed to use it.
Kakashi and Sasuke would resurface in the Chuunin Exam finals, “fashionably late”. During the fight with Gaara, Sasuke pulled off the Chidori and became the first person in years to make Gaara bleed. However, the resulting instability on Gaara’s part forced the start of the planned invasion and the stadium in which the fight took place was almost entirely put to sleep. Kakashi, Gai and a few others repelled the sleep and the attacking enemy forces while sending out a small team of Genin to track Sasuke, who was already pursuing Gaara.
The war took its toll on Konoha, but something far worse was about to occur. Kakashi witnessed an attack on Asuma and Kurenai, quickly blocking a critical move by copying it and nullifying it quickly. The perpetrators were Kisame and Konoha’s own Itachi. The two seemed equally matched in skill until Itachi tried a Genjutsu technique. Kakashi attempted to fight it off, but fell prey to something beyond anything he’d ever encountered before, being put through mental torture lasting three days, suffering the imagined pain of being stabbed over and over. Luckily for him, his friend and rival Gai turned up with an ANBU squad, but Kakashi was severely traumatized before they left again.
Ironically, Sasuke had suffered a similar action at Itachi’s hands, before lashing out at Naruto and Sakura. Kakashi stopped both Naruto and Sasuke before they killed each other in a duel, realizing they were using the Rasengan and Chidori with serious intent. Jiraiya and he both blamed each other for teaching their students such dangerous techniques, but Kakashi went on to address Sasuke personally. When Sasuke began to show signs of unruly behavior, including threatening to murder Kakashi’s close ones to show him how he felt, Kakashi revealed everyone close to him was already dead. Despite this, Sasuke still took off. When word of the event reached Kakashi, he disobeyed Tsunade, who had set him another mission and sent his dogs to track Sasuke down. However, by the time Kakashi arrived, he found an unconscious Naruto and no Sasuke. Carrying Naruto back to the village was all he could do.
Roughly 2.5 years after the defection, Naruto returned home and alongside Sakura, met up with Kakashi once more. Kakashi was given the latest in his favorite series of adult novels, before sparring against Sakura and Naruto in a mock of the old bell-test. However, Naruto’s cunning overcame Kakashi when the boy shouted out spoilers to the novel, distracting Kakashi and allowing the youngsters to gain their bells. The peace was sadly short-lived as a message came through from the Wind Country that Akatsuki had struck there, with the request for help.
A surprise awaited him there as he was near instantly attacked by one of the residents of the village, the old lady Chiyo. Mistaking Kakashi for Sakumo, who had killed her own son several years ago, Chiyo apologized due to the heavy resemblance between Kakashi and Sakumo. Taking her with them, the team of Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto and Chiyo set off to trail Gaara. On the way to the neighboring River Country, they encountered an Akatsuki member… none other than Itachi. However, Kakashi noticed something different about him and took a moment to speak of the Mangekyou Sharingan which he had suffered to badly from before. When Kakashi discussed the weaknesses of it, Itachi looked on in shock and uttered “…Impossible…”
The team of four managed to bring Itachi down, with Naruto striking the final blow. However, as Itachi began to die, his shape began to change and the corpse was that of Yuura, an agent of Sasori and a former Hidden Sand ninja. It would later be explained that the Itachi they faced was Yuura possessed and transformed into what was essentially a duplicate of Itachi with all his memories, thought patterns and personality.
Team Seven made it to the rendezvous point outside Akatsuki’s base of operations, a large cave. However, as soon as they entered, the Akatsuki member responsible for abducting Gaara, Deidara, sat with his partner, Sasori in wait. Deidara was sitting on an apparently dead Gaara, but as soon as Naruto charged in, Deidara took off, taking Gaara’s corpse with him. At that point, Sakura and Chiyo stayed behind to deal with Sasori while Naruto and Kakashi pursued the airborne Deidara, flying away with the corpse on a huge animated clay bird. Eventually, Naruto and Kakashi got close to Deidara, but Kakashi told Naruto to hold back. Frustrated, Naruto complied until Kakashi finally pulled his trump card, opening his left eye… with a version of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Slowly, the space around Deidara’s arm began to compress and was crushed into nothing, severing his right arm, despite Kakashi commenting on his inexperience with it leading to the move being faulty. A few moments later, the Sharingan collapsed back into the usual design, but bought Naruto enough time to reclaim Gaara’s corpse and begin attacking Deidara directly with his clones, until his knuckles bled from punching Deidara. Eventually, Naruto’s rage boiled over and he manifested into the shape of the Kyuubi with bubbling red chakra, sprouting a second tail from his back. Kakashi noticed the change and upon remembering a warning from Jiraiya, used a tag that the sage had prepared in case Naruto went too far to seal up the Kyuubi’s power.
Meanwhile, Deidara watched from a distance, but was found by Neji’s Byakugan. Chased by Gai’s team, he managed to escape to the remains of his clay bird and swallowed a piece of his exploding clay, planning to use his suicidal attack to wipe out both teams. As the disgustingly obese Deidara inflated with the power of the explosion building, Kakashi managed to use up his last reserves to once again manipulate space, containing and suppressing the explosion from the current dimension. Finally, Kakashi was rather embarrassingly carried home from the Sand Village on Gai’s back. The strain of the Mangekyou Sharingan had taken such a toll on him that he was hospitalized and temporarily replaced by another ninja as the team leader. Under Tsunade’s decision, the ANBU member codenamed Yamato took his place on a mission to meet another of Sasori’s subordinates.
Upon their return, Kakashi was informed of the events of the mission, including the increased skill that Sasuke had learned. After greeting Sasuke’s replacement on the team, Sai, Kakashi announced he had been spending all his time in bed thinking about things. His conclusion was that the only solution was to match Sasuke in power, but Naruto would be the only candidate for training. However, if Naruto were able to complete the training, his skill may not only equal Sasuke, but also perhaps even surpass Kakashi’s own…
