Kakashi has been through some shit for sure, but also seelentau's timeline points out that Kakashi was older than 5 when his father died, he was still 12 in the Gaiden and it said his father died 5 years before hand. So Kakashi was 7 soon to be 8 and already a Chunin, either way yeah he's been through some shit too but Nagato was 6-7 when both of his parents were murdered right in front of him, 10-13 when Jiraiya up and left never to see them again and 18 when Yahiko died. He lost everybody close to him except for Konan, Kakashi ended up with Gai still by his side so in that aspect they were similar. Both of them have been through hell though, that's for sure. Itachi had to kill his clan and make his brother who he loved hate him. Itachi saw blood and death and war first hand at the age of 4 because Fugaku for some damn reason thought it would be a good idea to show a toddler that, and that moment traumatized Itachi into maturing further than he should be at that age, Itachi later loses one of his best friends that he didn't know he regarded as a best friend until he was already dead and in the process awoke his Sharingan, he then saw his own older brother figure rip his eye out and give it to him, then commit suicide forcing Itachi to awaken his Mangekyo, and to save the village and his brother he did what he did to the clan all the while remaining loyal to the village and protecting it from the outside in his own way. I think its clear that those 3 had it horrible. Gaara is another who had it horrible, his own father made it that way for him. Nagato was a child who lost everything first, then gained 3 people in his life and one of them left after a few years never to be seen or heard from again, and one dies a few years down the road leaving Nagato with 1 person and 1 friend only, mind you his group Akatsuki(the good version he and Yahiko made) was all dead too. Nagato and Konan were left with nothing but themselves, not even friends. Kakashi had Asuma, Kurenai, Gai etc. Itachi had literally nobody after he killed his clan, and Nagato had only 1 person left. So all in all they all lost a lot, and been through hell but Nagato and Itachi had it worse until death while Kakashi continued to gain more people over the years(Team 7 etc)At the end Nagato managed to be a friend of Naruto's but that was literally at the end of his life.
