Age of Kakashi in Boruto Anime Revealed! How Old is He When Minato Died?

By Damini Rana On Jan 11, 2023

Fans of the Boruto anime are excited about the Sasuke Retsuden Arc, which is about to start. This is because the original novel and manga adaptation got a lot of attention, so fans of the anime are expecting the same. Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage, is one of the characters in the story who is looking for a cure for Naruto.

Since the first story arc, when he became the leader of Team 7, the character has been a very important part of the Naruto series. Even though he was very young at the time, Naruto is now the father of a 12-year-old boy named Boruto, so his sensei must have gotten quite old. This makes fans wonder how old he is in the next series.

Age of Kakashi in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations

Kakashi Hatake’s age in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations is between 46 and 47 years old. Although his age is not explicitly stated in the anime, it can be deduced from the facts presented throughout its duration.

Kakashi Hatake was a genius who joined the Anbu at the age of 13 after quickly rising through the ranks. When he was performing his responsibilities as an Anbu a year later, the Hidden Leaf Village was attacked by the Nine-Tailed Beast Kurama.

When Kushina Uzumaki was giving birth to Naruto, Obito Uchiha initiated the Nine-Tailed Beast’s attack by attempting to gain control over the beast. The age difference between Naruto and Kakashi can thus be calculated to be fourteen years.

At the conclusion of Naruto: Shippuden, or after the conclusion of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Naruto was 17 years old. At the age of 19, he wed Hinata Hyuga two years later. Kakashi was probably between 33 and 34 years old at the time.

Boruto was born one year after Naruto and Hinata wed, making the former a parent at the age of 20. Boruto’s story begins 12 years later when the eponymous character is a genin aged 12 years old.

This meant that Naruto turned around 32-33 years old, whereas Kakashi, who was 14 years older, turned approximately 46-47 years old.

Age of Kakashi When Minato Died

Kakashi was only 14 years old when the man in the mask let out the wrath of 9 Tails on Konoha. Minato and Kushina, Naruto’s parents, both died on the same night as they tried to protect their son from Kurama’s attack.

As we’ve already said, Kakashi is 14 years older than Naruto. Since he was born on the same night as Naruto, we can say that Kakashi was 14 when Minato died.

Age of Kakashi Hatake When He Became the Sixth Hokage

Fans know that Kakashi Hatake was chosen to be the Sixth Hokage a year before he became the Sixth Hokage. After the Pain’s Assault Arc, the fifth Hokage Tsunade went into a coma because she had used all of her chakra to save the people of the Hidden Leaf Village.

When Danzo Shimura did this, he became the Sixth Hokage. But Sasuke killed him right away. After that, the village chose Kakashi to be the Sixth Hokage, even though Shikaku Nara had already suggested him.

But by that time, Tsunade had gotten better, so she went back to being the Hokage. Since Naruto was 16 years old at the time, Kakashi Hatake would have been around 30 years old.

Lastly, Tsunade was officially replaced by Kakashi as the Sixth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village a year after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War. So, Kakashi might have been around 31 or 32 years old at the time.
