Kakashi Hatake is the leader of Team 7, consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. One of Kakashi’s habits that often annoyed Team 7 but also became his trademark was his tendency to arrive late to every meeting.

However, despite his habit of being late, there was one time when Kakashi arrived on time to meet Sasuke. This moment occurred when Kakashi was at a dango shop in Konoha Village and suspected that a mysterious figure eating dango there was Uchiha Itachi.

Following this, Kakashi immediately contacted Sasuke and asked him to come to the shop. When Sasuke arrived, he was surprised to find that Kakashi was already there, right on time, without making him wait.

Here are 5 moments when Kakashi arrived late to meet Team 7.

1. Kakashi Arrives Late to Pick Up Team 7

When the newly appointed Genin gathered in the classroom, they waited for their respective Jōnin instructors to arrive.

Almost all of the Genin had already been picked up by their Jōnin mentors, except for Team 7, who ended up being the last team left. Naruto, who was eager to meet their instructor, became increasingly annoyed when Kiba mocked him, saying that the last team usually gets the worst Jōnin mentor.

Frustrated that the Team 7’s Jōnin was taking so long to show up while the other teams had already left with their mentors, Naruto decided to play a prank. Annoyed by the delay, Naruto placed a chalkboard eraser full of chalk dust above the classroom door.

After waiting for quite some time, Kakashi finally arrived to meet Team 7. As Kakashi opened the door, the dusty eraser fell right onto his head. Naruto burst out laughing at the success of his prank. However, Kakashi merely gave a brief remark to Team 7 with his first impression: he admitted that he “disliked” Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke.
