Naruto: Kakashi's Story―The Sixth Hokage and the Failed Prince (Naruto Novels)

I didn't particularly like Kakashi Hiden, but this book is so, so good. This book is heavily about Kakashi being a teacher, not just an amazing ninja. It's also ONLY about Kakashi and his student. It doesn't need to throw in a ton of other characters to carry the story and the action scenes are not overly complex, just Kakashi being awesome all by himself. It also touches on his childhood trauma as well. This book was a home run for Kakashi fans IMHO.

I think this novel actually did a good job discussing Kakashi, as compared to the earlier Kakashi Hiden. After finishing the entire Retsuden Series, I find myself enjoying this opening title of the trilogy the most. It does well as a standalone too. It's worth a read for any Naruto fan. Updated 8/9/24: after comparing the original text in Japanese, there are some discrepancies or lines omitted in each of the scenes involving Kakashi and Iruka throughout the book. Personally I think those keyword changes and omissions do change the tone of the scenes. Considering those same words and concepts are translated correctly in Naruto Retsuden, I am not sure why these discrepancies exists in this book.

All the Naruto side-story books are good but I really enjoy the Kakashi ones because I feel like he is just such a well-rounded character with so much backstory. I hope they make like a dozen more like this.

I ordered 4 of these books. This book gives a deeper understanding into Kakashi's reign as Hokage and all the things that he accomplished while also showing how he is doing since handing over the title to Naruto. This is a cannon Must read novel definitely worth reading especially if you're a Kakashi fan

With this novel we know more about Kakashi's contribution to Konoha during his Hokage period. Also his years of training did pay off, making him become one of the most powerful Hokage in the history of Hidden Leaf Village. Highly recommend.

I'm really happy with my purchase. This book is an especially good read. My son and I both thoroughly enjoy it.

I'm a huge fan of kakashi and this book has alot heart in it , kakashi is hot and wise. I hope the author will continue to write kakashi's story's.
