Kakashi for me. For me, Kakashi fits the bill of a true shinobi better than most in the series. The man has endured through so much in his lifetime, disappointment after disappointment yet he never swayed from his path. Kakashi lost his father a young age, his comrade who gave him his eye and was his best friend, who's dying wish was to protect his love, who he was forced to kill! Then his sensei gets killed and he later finds out it was from his best friend who he thought was dead.
Can you imagine the grief this man must have felt through his life? This including the fact that his student goes rogue and he feels the regret of being a bad sensei. Yet in every incident he came close to death, it was to protect the future generation (Choji, Naruto, etc). Rather than taking a dark turn, this man (even though he faltered at times) never swayed to wrong the world for his misfortunes. Instead, he chose to attempt to make the world brighter by protecting what he felt was the spark (Naruto) at every chance he could get. Just so that people wouldn't have to suffer themselves.
Sorry for the long text but for me, Kakashi is easily one of the most respectable characters regardless of strength. His resilience is one to be admired and ironically, should have been copied by other shinobi and perhaps human beings in general.
Wow! I really forgot about him. This guy deserves to be respected so much he should be on my list!
