An orange spiral mask; a pair of goggles underneath

• Kakashi HatakeThe only one who met all fourHe was his teammate, then mourned him for years, then fought the masked man, and finally broke the mask and found his childhood friend under it. For eighteen years he carried Obito's Sharingan in his left eye.
• Rin NoharaShe only ever knew ObitoThe third member of the squad, and the person Obito loved. Hers were the hands that transplanted the eye into Kakashi. The moment she died is the moment every other name on this page begins — and she heard none of them.
• Minato NamikazeHis teacherThe squad's teacher and the Fourth Hokage — the living version of what Obito wanted to become. Years later he faced the masked man above Konoha, and never learned who he was facing.
• Madara UchihaThe one who lent the nameThe one who found the boy under the rock and gave him a new right side. In return he handed over a plan, an organisation, and his own name to wear. It is the only debt on this page.
• Naruto UzumakiThe one who gave the name backHe fought Tobi first, then the man carrying Madara's name. The blow that broke the mask was his. At the end of the war he reminded the man in front of him of a boyhood dream, and turned him back.

• 神威KamuiPhase shift and a private dimensionThe only technique his Mangekyō Sharingan gave him — and the only reason he stayed untouchable for eighteen years.It does two things. The first is intangibility: for an instant the body stops interacting with matter — an attack passes through him, and he can touch nothing either. The second is a door: the same eye opens a separate dimension he can step into, or send himself and enormous objects through. His clumsiness was the camouflage for years, because tripping, colliding and phasing out all look identical from outside. And the cruellest part: the Kamui in Kakashi's left eye is the other door to the same dimension. Two old teammates carried the two keys to one room without knowing it.IntangibilityA dimension of his ownA door shared with Kakashi
• 木遁・輪廻眼Mokuton · RinneganWhat he inherited from MadaraHis crushed right side was rebuilt with Hashirama's cells; the ringed eye reached him after passing through several hands.Mokuton is a nature transformation Uchiha blood never carried — it reached him through repair, not inheritance. The Rinnegan's route was more convoluted still: Madara had given it to Nagato, and when Nagato died Obito took it back and set it in his own eye; only that eye could summon the Gedō Mazō. The strangest fact on this page sits here: almost none of the power that threatened a world was his. He was born with exactly one thing, and he gave that away at thirteen.Hashirama's cellsA second-hand RinneganA nature no Uchiha had
• 十尾の人柱力Jūbi JinchūrikiVessel of the Ten-TailsThe single strongest body in the war — and the person inside it was still thirteen.After fusing nine tailed beasts in the Gedō Mazō and reviving the Ten-Tails, he sealed it into his own body. In that form he carried Six Paths chakra, wielded truth-seeking orbs, grew trees that could turn a continent into forest; the entire allied army could not stop him. But the technical half is only half the story: the man who had gathered the greatest power in the world still wanted one particular afternoon — the one where a three-person squad walks home together.Six Paths chakraTruth-seeking orbsOne body against an army

Four smaller entries

Four techniques less known than the rest of this page, and more necessary to the plan than any of them.

• イザナギIzanagiA genjutsu that declares what just happened to be false: the wound you took stops being real. The price is fixed — when it ends, the Sharingan that cast it closes for good. This is how he walked out of Konan's explosive trap, and he left an eye behind for it.
• 外道魔像Gedō MazōThe empty husk of the Ten-Tails. Every tailed beast Akatsuki collected over the years was sealed into this statue; the one who summoned it, drove its chains and ran the sealing ritual was always the same masked man.
• 写輪眼Sharingan · YaguraHe took control of the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, with the Sharingan, and Kirigakure spent years known as the Bloody Mist. An entire era of a village was written under a single eye; the village found out long afterwards.
• 月の眼計画Tsuki no Me KeikakuThe Eye of the Moon Plan: an endless genjutsu projected onto the moon's face, the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Everyone sleeps, everyone gets the dream they want, nobody loses anybody. The plan's name is as large as the cosmos; what it actually wanted was a world with one particular person alive in it.

1. The Academy

   The boy who was always late

   He was the weakest student in the class and always late; the delay was usually someone he had stopped to help. He never hid his crying either. When he said he would become Hokage nobody stopped laughing — Kakashi did not laugh, but he did not believe him either, which was worse.

2. Age 13

   The Kannabi Bridge and the given eye

   On a mission in the Third Shinobi War, a cave collapsed. He had pushed Kakashi clear, and his right side stayed under the rock; he had his Sharingan given to Kakashi and sent the two of them out with Rin. His name went onto Konoha's memorial stone that day. The one who found him was not Konoha.

3. Age 13

   Rin's death, and letting the world go

   Madara and Zetsu pulled him out from under the rock: a new right side, a new body, months of putting himself back together. The first day he could stand on his own he went to save Rin and arrived exactly in time — Kakashi's hand was in her chest. He was late for the second time. The person left standing in the rain was somebody else.

4. The masked years

   Tobi, and then Madara

   He ruled Kirigakure through Yagura, ran Akatsuki from its shadow, had Nagato carry the Rinnegan, and loosed a Nine-Tails on Konoha. Across eighteen years he never once used his own name: first he was no one, then a clumsy newcomer, then a dead legend. The stack of names on this page is exactly that order, reversed.

5. Age 31

   The mask falls, and he changes sides

   In the Fourth Great Shinobi War the mask broke under Naruto's strike, and Kakashi recognised the face beneath it. He sealed the Ten-Tails into his body and held off the whole alliance alone — and then he stopped. He opened what power he had left to Kakashi: for a while both Kamui worked at once. He died having come back to his own name.
