Kakashi.

First, his dad committed suicide.

Then, his teammate died because Kakashi refused to live the way his father did. And he has a constant reminder of this in his left eye.

Then, he broke his promise to his dead teammate, by not protecting his other teammate. In fact, she died by his hand. Leading all of Konoha to refer to him as "Friend-Killer Kakashi."

Then, his master died in a battle that he wasn't allowed to participate in.

Yet he remains the exemplary, humble, and capable shinobi we all know and love.
