Well it looks like Kakashi's the only one who came full circle in terms of character development.

First he was douchey, then not so douchey, then he was cool, then we found out why he was cool and now he's become Hokage as a means to protect his friends; something he wasn't able to do in the past.

Meanwhile, Kishimoto pulled everything else straight out of a fanfiction.
