That's very true, and I'm not saying that it isn't. However, just going by databooks alone, Obito was confirmed 31 when he died, meaning that Kishi has basically said that Obito is the same age as Kakashi, no matter how you look at it. Also, the "Obito Uchiha" chapter is the only thing that contradicts this, as it shows Kakashi taking the exam with Obito, Rin, and Guy. However, he would have, by databooks' proof, taking it years before. Guy wasn't even graduated when Kakashi took the exam, this we know for certain, because Kakashi was 6 when he became a Chunin, and Guy didn't even graduate until he was 7, so there is zero possibility Kakashi and Guy took the exam together anyway. It's a situation where one manga chapter is directly contradicting the databooks.

I don't know why you have such a big problem with Kakashi graduating and taking the exam before Obito and Rin? Is it that bothersome to you? We've already seen the fact that Genin can take the exam without their other team members, such as in Sakura's case. It's highly possible Kakashi graduated years before Obito and Rin at 5, took the exam at 6, and then Obito and Rin were placed in a group with Kakashi together at 9. It makes great sense if you can tell that teammate work used to be Kakashi's greatest weakness.
