The anime Naruto Shippuden features several notable characters that many fans have come to love, and one of the most prominent is Hatake Kakashi. He is the leader of Team 7, which includes Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, and he eventually becomes the Hokage of Konohagakure. Hatake Kakashi is a jounin known by the nickname “Copy Ninja.” His left eye, the Sharingan, given to him by Obito, allows him to replicate any technique used by his opponents.
However, let’s consider an alternative perspective: What if Hatake Kakashi were a villain? How would he be portrayed?
To answer this question, a Reddit user named Raikriii decided to reimagine the character from a villainous angle. In their interpretation, rather than merely appearing intimidating, Kakashi would possess two Rinnegan eyes.
To maintain two Rinnegan eyes, Kakashi would face numerous challenges, especially concerning chakra control. Despite having a limited chakra reserve, Kakashi would undoubtedly need to manage his chakra efficiently to sustain the Rinnegan or utilize the techniques this powerful dojutsu provides.
Nevertheless, Kakashi, as a villain, would likely master the application of the Rinnegan’s abilities similarly to how he wielded the Mangekyō Sharingan, albeit with certain limitations.
Moreover, there’s another intriguing possibility regarding Kakashi’s potential transformation into a member of the Akatsuki organization.
The image above illustrates Kakashi with a more menacing appearance, showcasing longer hair, an Akatsuki cloak, and the iconic headband of the Hidden Leaf Village, complete with a horizontal scratch mark.
So, what do you think? How would Kakashi fare as a villain in the Naruto universe?
