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

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.

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.

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

It’s a good story, more kakashi content and it’s written well

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

Bought as a gift for a Naruto fan. She loves it and would recommend to everyone who loves Naruto.

Llegó tiempo y excelentes condiciones, la historia es por mucho mejor que la anterior, respetaron la personalidad de Kakashi lo cual me encantó y en general es buena, muy entretenida aunque en lo personal al final pareciera haber concluido de manera precipitada. De cualquier forma lo recomiendo, más si es de sus personajes favoritos de Naruto.

Kakashi Retsuden é o início da trilogia Retsuden de Naruto.Com o objetivo de descobrir informações sobre o Sábio dos Seis Caminhos (para encontrar uma cura para a doença de Naruto), Kakashi acaba se encontrando em meio a um problema político-econômico no País de Redaku. E conhecendo bem o nosso querido Kakashi, ele não iria abandonar o país da maneira que estava.É um início morno a trilogia Retsuden, iniciando com o livro do Kakashi, mas sua continuação que é Sasuke Retsuden e Naruto Retsuden vale muito a pena! Estou adorando reler a história, e aguardo ansiosamente pelo lançamento da continuação pela Vizmedia.

Absolutely loved this, it pays such respect to kakashi's character as well as giving deep insights into his thoughts and motivations.Compared to this the ice blimp shiden book was a badly written fanfic.I really hope there are plans to have this put into manga at the very least but preferably an anime adaptation! There is so much to work with in this series, I'd love to see it one day.

The book arrived today in very good condition, fast and without any problem.

My kids like it very much. They still like the anime and comic books more.
