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

I haven’t read this novel yet but I still wanted to rate it, nonetheless. The book came fast a day before its official release and undamaged. I'm a MASSIVE fan of Naruto and am very excited to read and add this to my Naruto manga collection! 😊

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.

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.

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.

Questo libro fa parte della serie di romanzi dal titolo "Naruto Retsuden" (NARUTO -ナルト- 烈伝, cioè "Naruto Intense Story"). In particolare, questo romanzo - Kakashi’s Story: The Sixth Hokage and the Failed Prince - è concentrato su Kakashi e racconta una missione che compie quando ormai si è ritirato dalla carica di Hokage. La trama è avvincente e devo dire che mi è piaciuto molto di più di "Kakashi's Story: Lightning in the Icy Sky", altro romanzo che comunque merita. Più che mai lo consiglio se si è fan appassionati di Kakashi come me!

If you're a fan of Naruto, and a fan of Kakashi in particular, you probably want to add this to your book collection. I preferred Lightning in the Frozen Sky, but this is still a good read for Kakashi fans.

It's really good to read if you want kakashi's solo adventure. Also you can read the lightening in the frozen sky but this is also good for reading .
